Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
ReFrame Wealth, LLC (“ReFrame Wealth” or the “Advisor” is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor was organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”)
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in March 2021 and became a registered investment advisor in April
2021. ReFrame Wealth is owned and operated by Mitchell M. Falter, AIF®, CFP® (Principal & Co- Founder) and
Jessica L. Doll, CFP® (Principal, Co-Founder and Chief Compliance Officer).
This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by ReFrame Wealth.
B. Advisory Services Offered
ReFrame Wealth offers discretionary wealth management services which include investment management, financial
planning and/or other advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates (each referred to
as a “Client”) on a fee basis as discussed at Item 5 below. Before engaging Advisor to provide investment advisory
services, clients are generally required to enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Advisor setting forth the
terms and conditions of the engagement (including termination), describing the scope of the services to be provided,
and the fee that is due from the client. To commence the investment advisory process, Advisor will ascertain each
client’s investment objective(s) and then allocate the client’s assets consistent with the client’s designated
investment objective(s). Once allocated, Advisor provides ongoing supervision of the account(s).
For individual retail (i.e., non-institutional) clients, ReFrame Wealth’s annual investment advisory fee shall generally
(exceptions can occur-see below) include investment advisory services, and, to the extent specifically requested by
the client, financial planning and consulting services. In the event that the client requires extraordinary planning
and/or consultation services (to be determined in the sole discretion of Advisor), Advisor may determine to charge for
such additional services, the dollar amount of which shall be set forth in a separate written notice to the client.
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the
Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. ReFrame Wealth's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For
more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Limitations of Financial Planning and Non-Investment Consulting/Implementation Services. To the extent
requested by the client, Advisor will generally provide financial planning and related consulting services regarding
matters such as tax and estate planning, insurance, etc. Advisor will generally provide such consulting services
inclusive of its advisory fee set forth at Item 5 below (exceptions could occur based upon assets under management,
extraordinary matters, special projects, stand-alone planning engagements, etc. for which Firm may charge a
separate or additional fee). Please Note. Advisor believes that it is important for the client to address financial
planning issues on an ongoing basis. ReFrame Wealth’s advisory fee, as set forth at Item 5 below, will remain the
same regardless of whether or not the client determines to address financial planning issues with ReFrame Wealth.
Please Also Note: Advisor does not serve as an attorney, accountant, or insurance agent, and no portion of our
services should be construed as same. Accordingly, Advisor does not prepare legal documents or tax returns, nor
does it offer or sell insurance products. To the extent requested by a client, we may recommend the services of other
professionals for non-investment implementation purpose (i.e., attorneys, accountants, insurance, etc.). The client is
not under any obligation to engage any such professional(s). The client retains absolute discretion over all such
implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from Advisor and/or its
representatives. If the client engages any professional (i.e., attorney, accountant, insurance agent, etc.),
recommended or otherwise, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such engagement, the engaged professional
shall remain exclusively responsible for resolving any such dispute with the client. At all times, the engaged licensed
professional([s)] (i.e., attorney, accountant, insurance agent, etc.), and not ReFrame Wealth, shall be responsible for
the quality and competency of the services provided.

Wealth Management Services. ReFrame Wealth provides customized wealth management services for its
Clients, which generally includes a broad range of comprehensive financial planning services in connection with
discretionary and non-discretionary management of investment portfolios. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well
as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. ReFrame Wealth, through its sub-
advisory relationship with Savant Wealth Management (herein “Savant”), will construct an investment portfolio,
consisting of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end mutual funds, individual stocks, individual bonds,
and/or other types in investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of the Client. The Advisor may retain
certain types of investments based on a Client’s legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax
considerations.
ReFrame Wealth may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their
unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the
Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the
Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months
of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Savant. ReFrame Wealth has engaged Savant, an independent investment advisor registered with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to provide sub-advisory services on behalf of the Advisor.
Services include investment portfolio construction, research and discretionary trading in the Client’s account[s].
ReFrame Wealth will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over Savant to ensure the Client’s
investment portfolios are managed consistent with the Client’s investment objectives and overall best interests.
ReFrame Wealth’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re- allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions.
ReFrame Wealth will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives,
circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable
restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
ReFrame Wealth evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal
due diligence process. ReFrame Wealth may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio. ReFrame Wealth may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class
weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement.
ReFrame Wealth may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital
gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or
overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client
needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
The financial planning services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals,
objectives and financial situation. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial
plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning
or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning,
retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and other areas of a Client’s financial
situation. A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Use of Independent Managers. ReFrame Wealth may recommend that a Client utilize one or more unaffiliated
investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a
Client’s investment portfolio. In such instances, the Client may be required to authorize and enter into an
advisory agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent
Manager[s] will provide investment management and related services. The Advisor may also assist in the
ReFrame Wealth, LLC
3251 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 502, Fairfax, VA 22030
Phone: (571) 354-8471 | https://www.reframewealth.com/
Page 5
development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor
will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Manager[s] to ensure
the Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment
objectives and overall best interests. Factors that Advisor shall consider in recommending Independent
Manager([s)] include the client’s designated investment objective(s), management style, performance,
reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing, and research. Please Note. The investment management fee
charged by the Independent Manager([s)] is separate from, and in addition to, Advisor’s investment advisory fee
disclosed at Item 5 below. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with unaffiliated investment
manager[s] or investment platform[s], will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV 2A (or a
brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
At no time will ReFrame Wealth accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Retirement Accounts. Retirement Rollovers-Potential for Conflict of Interest. A client or prospective client leaving
an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may engage in a combination of
these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new
employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual Retirement Account
(“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax
consequences). If ReFrame Wealth recommends that a client roll over their retirement plan assets into an account
to be managed by ReFrame Wealth, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if ReFrame Wealth will
earn new (or increase its current) compensation as a result of the rollover. If ReFrame Wealth provides a
recommendation as to whether a client should engage in a rollover or not (whether it is from an employer’s plan or
an existing IRA), ReFrame Wealth is acting as a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. No client is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets to an account managed by ReFrame
Wealth, whether it is from an employer’s plan or an existing IRA
Custodian Charges – Additional Fees. As discussed below at Item 12 below, when requested to recommend a
broker-dealer/custodian for client accounts, ReFrame Wealth generally recommends that Schwab serve as the
broker-dealer/custodian for client investment management assets. Broker-dealers such as Schwab charge
brokerage commissions, transaction, and/or other type fees for effecting certain types of securities transactions (i.e.,
including transaction fees for certain mutual funds, and mark-ups and mark-downs charged for fixed income
transactions, etc.). The types of securities for which transaction fees, commissions, dealer spreads and/or other
type fees (as well as the amount of those fees) shall differ depending upon the broker-dealer/custodian. While
certain custodians, including Schwab, generally (with the potential exception for exceptions) do not currently charge
fees on individual equity transactions (including ETFs), others do. Please Note: there can be no assurance that
Schwab will not change its transaction fee pricing in the future. Please Also Note Schwab may also assess fees to
clients who elect to receive trade confirmations and account statements by regular mail rather than electronically.
income and/or equity transactions may be effected
dealers with whom ReFrame Wealth and/or the client have entered into arrangements for prime
dealers (in which event, the client generally will incur both the transaction fee charged by the
dealer and a “trade-away” fee charged by Schwab). The above fees/charges are in addition to

‐
brokerage clearing services, including effecting certain client transactions through other SEC registered and FINRA
‐

‐
ReFrame Wealth’s investment advisory fee at Item 5 below. Advisor does not receive any portion of these
fees/charges.
Schwab and other custodians have eliminated commissions [or transaction fees] for online trade of U.S. equities,
ETFs and options (subject to $0.65 per contract fee). This means that, in most cases, when we buy and sell these
types of securities, we will not have to pay any commissions to Schwab. We encourage you to review Schwab’s
pricing to compare the total costs of entering into a wrap fee arrangement versus a non-wrap fee arrangement. If
you choose to enter into a wrap fee arrangement, your total cost to invest could exceed the cost of paying for

brokerage advisory fees separately. To see what you would pay for transactions in a non-wrap account please refer
to Schwab’s most recent price schedules available at schwab.com/aspricingguide.
Portfolio Activity. ReFrame Wealth has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best
interest. Advisor will review client portfolios on an ongoing basis to determine if any changes are necessary based
upon various factors, including, but not limited to, investment performance, market conditions, fund manager tenure,
style drift, account additions or /withdrawals, and/or a change in the client’s investment objective. Based upon these
factors, there may be extended periods of time when . ReFrame Wealth determines that changes to a client’s
portfolio are unnecessary. Clients remain subject to the fees described in Item 5 below during periods of portfolio
inactivity. Of course, as indicated below, there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by ReFrame
Wealth will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).
Variable Annuity Sub-accounts. In the event that the client owns a variable annuity product, the client can engage
ReFrame Wealth to provide investment management services relative to the investment subdivisions that comprise
the variable annuity product. . ReFrame Wealth’s investment selection shall be limited to those provided by the
variable annuity sponsor. If so engaged, ReFrame Wealth shall charge an ongoing advisory fee based upon the
market value of the assets per its fee schedule at Item 5 below. Please Note: Neither . ReFrame Wealth, nor any of
its employees, offers to sell variable annuity products to its clients. Neither . ReFrame Wealth, nor any of its
employees, are registered as, or associated with, a broker-dealer or an insurance agency. In the event that the
client owns a variable annuity product and/or seeks to purchase a variable annuity product, . ReFrame Wealth shall
refer the client to an unaffiliated broker- dealer/insurance agency to advise on same, and if agreed upon by the
client, engage the unaffiliated broker- dealer/insurance agency to exchange a current, or purchase a new, variable
annuity product. Neither . ReFrame Wealth, nor any of its employees, shall receive any portion of the fees earned
by the unaffiliated broker- dealer/insurance agency. . ReFrame Wealth’s only compensation shall be limited to the
management of the investment subdivisions that comprise the variable annuity product, should the client engage
Advisor to do so. The client is under no obligation to engage ReFrame Wealth to provide such management
services, nor is the client under any obligation to consider addressing variable annuity issues with the unaffiliated
broker-dealer/insurance agency that may be recommended by ReFrame Wealth.
Cybersecurity Risk. The information technology systems and networks that ReFrame Wealth and its third-party
service providers use to provide services to ReFrame Wealth’s clients employ various controls that are designed to
prevent cybersecurity incidents stemming from intentional or unintentional actions that could cause significant
interruptions in ReFrame Wealth’s operations and/or result in the unauthorized acquisition or use of clients’
confidential or non-public personal information. In accordance with Regulation S-P, ReFrame Wealth is committed
to protecting the privacy and security of its clients' non-public personal information by implementing appropriate
administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. ReFrame Wealth has established processes to mitigate the risks
of cybersecurity incidents, including the requirement to restrict access to such sensitive data and to monitor its
systems for potential breaches. Clients and ReFrame Wealth are nonetheless subject to the risk of cybersecurity
incidents that could ultimately cause them to incur financial losses and/or other adverse consequences. Although
ReFrame Wealth has established processes to reduce the risk of cybersecurity incidents, there is no guarantee that
these efforts will always be successful, especially considering that ReFrame Wealth does not control the
cybersecurity measures and policies employed by third-party service providers, issuers of securities, broker-dealers,
qualified custodians, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchanges, and other financial market
operators and providers. In compliance with Regulation S-P, ReFrame Wealth will notify clients in the event of a
data breach involving their non-public personal information as required by applicable state and federal laws.
Cash Sweep Accounts. Certain account custodians can require that cash proceeds from account transactions or
new deposits, be swept to and/or initially maintained in a specific custodian designated sweep account. The yield on
the sweep account will generally be lower than those available for other money market accounts. When this occurs,
to help mitigate the corresponding yield dispersion, ReFrame Wealth shall (usually within 30 days thereafter)
generally (with exceptions) purchase a higher yielding money market fund (or other type security) available on the
custodian’s platform, unless ReFrame Wealth reasonably anticipates that it will utilize the cash proceeds during the
subsequent 30-day period to purchase additional investments for the client’s account. Exceptions and/or
modifications can and will occur with respect to all or a portion of the cash balances for various reasons, including,
ReFrame Wealth, LLC
3251 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 502, Fairfax, VA 22030
Phone: (571) 354-8471 | https://www.reframewealth.com/
Page 7
but not limited to the amount of dispersion between the sweep account and a money market fund, the size of the
cash balance, an indication from the client of an imminent need for such cash, or the client has a demonstrated
history of writing checks from the account.
The above does not apply to the cash component maintained within the ReFrame Wealth’s actively managed
investment strategy (the cash balances for which shall generally remain in the custodian designated cash sweep
account), an indication from the client of a need for access to such cash, assets allocated to an unaffiliated
investment manager, and cash balances maintained for fee billing purposes. Please Also Note: The client shall
remain exclusively responsible for yield dispersion/cash balance decisions and corresponding transactions for cash
balances maintained in any of the ReFrame Wealth’s unmanaged accounts.
Use of Mutual and Exchange Traded Funds. . ReFrame Wealth utilizes mutual funds and exchange traded funds
for its client portfolios. In addition to ReFrame Wealth’s investment advisory fee described below, and transaction
and/or custodial fees discussed above, clients will also incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange traded fund
purchases, charges imposed at the fund level (e.g., management fees and other fund expenses). The mutual funds
and exchange traded funds utilized by the Advisor are generally available directly to the public. Thus, a client can
generally obtain the funds recommended and/or utilized by Advisor independent of engaging Advisor as an
investment advisor. However, if a prospective client does so, then he/she/they will not receive ReFrame Wealth's
initial and ongoing investment advisory services.
Use of DFA Mutual Funds. ReFrame Wealth utilizes the mutual funds issued by Dimensional Fund Advisors
(“DFA”). DFA funds are generally only available through registered investment advisers approved by DFA. Thus, if
the client was to terminate ReFrame Wealth’s services, and transition to another adviser who has not been
approved by DFA to utilize DFA funds, restrictions regarding additional purchases of, or reallocation among other
DFA funds, will generally apply.
Socially Responsible (ESG) Investing Limitations. Socially Responsible Investing involves the incorporation of
Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) considerations into the investment due diligence process. ESG
investing incorporates a set of criteria/factors used in evaluating potential investments: Environmental (i.e.,
considers how a company safeguards the environment); Social (i.e., the manner in which a company manages
relationships with its employees, customers, and the communities in which it operates); and Governance (i.e.,
company management considerations). The number of companies that meet an acceptable ESG mandate can be
limited when compared to those that do not, and could underperform broad market indices. Investors must accept
these limitations, including potential for underperformance. Correspondingly, the number of ESG mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds are limited when compared to those that do not maintain such a mandate. As with any type
of investment (including any investment and/or investment strategies recommended and/or undertaken by ReFrame
Wealth), there can be no assurance that investment in ESG securities or funds will be profitable, or prove
successful. ReFrame Wealth generally relies on the assessments undertaken by the unaffiliated mutual fund,
exchange traded fund or separate account portfolio manager to determine that the fund’s or portfolio’s underlying
company securities meet a socially responsible mandate.
Cash Positions. Advisor continues to treat cash as an asset class. As such, unless determined to the contrary by
ReFrame Wealth, all cash positions (money markets, etc.) shall continue to be included as part of assets under
management for purposes of calculating ReFrame Wealth’s advisory fee. At any specific point in time, depending
upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no guarantee that such anticipated market
conditions/events will occur), Advisor may maintain cash positions for defensive purposes. In addition, while assets
are maintained in cash, such amounts could miss market advances. Depending upon current yields, at any point in
time, ReFrame Wealth’s advisory fee could exceed the interest paid by the client’s money market fund.
Fee Dispersion. Advisor, in its discretion, may charge a lesser or higher investment advisory fee, charge a flat fee,
waive applicable minimum asset or minimum fee levels, waive its fee entirely, or charge a fee on a different interval,
based upon certain criteria (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar
amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, complexity of the engagement,
anticipated services to be rendered, grandfathered fee schedules, employees and family members, courtesy

Phone: (571) 354-8471 | https://www.reframewealth.com/
Page 8
accounts, competition, negotiations with client, etc.). Please Note: As result of the above, similarly situated clients
could pay different fees. In addition, similar advisory services may be available from other investment advisers for
similar or lower fees.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging ReFrame Wealth to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one
or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
Establishing an Investment Strategy – ReFrame Wealth, in connection with the Client, will develop a
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
Asset Allocation – ReFrame Wealth will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
Portfolio Construction – ReFrame Wealth will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
Investment Management and Supervision – ReFrame Wealth will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
ReFrame Wealth includes securities transaction fees, (herein “Covered Costs”) together with its investment advisory
fees. Including these fees into a single asset-based fee is considered a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor
customizes its investment management services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the ReFrame Wealth Wrap
Fee Program solely as a supplemental disclosure regarding the combination of fees. Depending on the level of
trading required for the Client’s account[s] in a particular year, the Client may pay more or less in total fees than if
the Client paid its own transaction fees. Please see Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure, which is included as
a supplement to this Disclosure Brochure.
The benefits under a wrap fee program depend, in part, upon the size of the account, the costs associated with
managing the account, and the frequency or type of securities transactions executed in the account[s] For example,
a wrap fee program may not be suitable for all accounts, including but limited to accounts holding primarily, and for
any substantial period of time, cash or cash equivalent investments, fixed income securities or no-transaction-fee
mutual funds, or any other type of security that can be traded without commissions or other transaction fees. In
order to evaluate whether a wrap fee arrangement is appropriate for you, you should compare the agreed-upon
Wrap Program Fee and any other costs associated with participating in our Wrap Fee Program with the amounts
that would be charged by other advisers, broker-dealers, and custodians, for advisory fees, brokerage and
execution costs, and custodial services comparable to those provided under the Wrap Fee Program.
When managing a Client’s account on a wrap fee basis, we receive as compensation for our investment advisory
services, the balance of the total wrap fee you pay after custodial, trading and other management costs (including
execution and transaction fees) have been deducted. Accordingly, we have a conflict of interest because we have a
financial incentive to maximize our compensation by seeking to reduce or minimize the total costs incurred in your
account[s] subject to a wrap fee.
Client Obligations. In performing our services, Advisor shall not be required to verify any information received from
the client or from the client’s other professionals, and is expressly authorized to rely thereon. Moreover, it remains
each client’s responsibility to promptly notify Advisor if there is ever any change in his/her/its financial situation or
investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing/evaluating/revising our previous recommendations and/or

Disclosure Statement. A copy of ReFrame Wealth’s written Brochure as set forth on Part 2A of Form ADV and
Form CRS (Client Relationship Summary) shall be provided to each client prior to, or contemporaneously with, the
execution of an agreement between the client and ReFrame Wealth.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, ReFrame Wealth manages approximately $345,783,701 in Client assets on a
discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one more
written agreements with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the wealth
management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management
at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Wealth management fees range from 0.40% to 1.00% annually based on
the following tiered schedule:
Assets Under Management ($)
Up to $2,000,000
Next $3,000,000
Next $5,000,000
Over $10,000,000
Annual Rate (%)
1.00%
0.75%
0.50%
0.40%
In certain circumstances, the Advisor may engage clients on a fixed fee schedule. This is done on a case-by-case
basis.
Legacy Clients may be subject to a previous fee schedule as determined by their executed Client agreement.
The wealth management fee includes sub-advisory fees paid to Savant. The wealth management fee in the first
quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be
negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Certain Clients may be offered a fixed rate fee schedule. The
Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities
held in accounts managed by ReFrame Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. ReFrame Wealth will
conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations.
ReFrame Wealth generally imposes a minimum fee of $6,000 for new clients. ReFrame Wealth, in its discretion,
may charge a lesser or higher investment advisory fee, charge a flat fee, waive its $6,000 minimum fee
requirement, waive its fee entirely, or charge fee on a different interval, based upon certain criteria (i.e. anticipated
future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related
accounts, account composition, complexity of the engagement, anticipated services to be rendered,
grandfathered fee schedules, employees and family members, courtesy accounts, competition, negotiations with
client, etc.). Please Note: As result of the above, similarly situated clients could pay different fees. In addition,
similar advisory services may be available from other investment advisers for similar or lower fees.
Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor.

The Advisor’s fee is inclusive of any applicable securities transactions. Clients separately would be responsible for
certain fees including custody fees, and other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below. The Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these non-Covered Costs.
Use of Independent Managers
For Clients referred by the Advisor to an Independent Manager, the Client’s fee may be separately billed or
deducted from the Client’s account[s] by the Independent Manager.
Financial Planning Services
ReFrame Wealth offers financial planning services for an annual subscription fee or a fixed fee engagement
ranging up to $10,000. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided
and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total costs will be determined prior to establishing the
advisory relationship.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at
the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted
from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with ReFrame Wealth at the end of
the quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of
the investment advisory fee. Clients are urged to also review and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to
the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients
provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by ReFrame Wealth to be paid directly from
their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms
provided by the Custodian. Advisor will adjust its fee based upon any intra-quarter additions or withdrawals.
Financial Planning Services
The entire balance of the financial plan will be invoiced at the beginning of the engagement. We do not bill more than
$1,200, more than six months in advance.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on behalf
of the Client’s account[s]. ReFrame Wealth includes Covered Costs as part of its overall investment advisory fee
through the ReFrame Wealth Wrap Fee Program. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may be
charged back to the Client. Please see Item 4.D. above as well as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
In addition, all fees paid to ReFrame Wealth for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees
for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of ReFrame
Wealth, but would not receive the services provided by ReFrame Wealth which are designed, among other things,
to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial
situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees
charged by ReFrame Wealth to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
ReFrame Wealth is compensated for its wealth management services at the end of the quarter after services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth management agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur

Phone: (571) 354-8471 | https://www.reframewealth.com/
Page 11
charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable
by the Client. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s
prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers
In the event that a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with the Independent Manager, the terms for
termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client and that Independent Manager.
ReFrame Wealth will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
ReFrame Wealth does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
ReFrame Wealth does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged
by ReFrame Wealth are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds
or securities held by any Client.
ReFrame Wealth does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a
mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its
Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
ReFrame Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates.
ReFrame Wealth generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.
As noted above at Item 5, ReFrame Wealth generally imposes a minimum fee of $6,000 for new clients.
ReFrame Wealth, in its discretion, may charge a lesser or higher investment advisory fee, charge a flat fee,
waive its $6,000 minimum fee requirement, waive its fee entirely, or charge fee on a different interval, based
upon certain criteria (i.e. anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar
amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, complexity of the engagement,
anticipated services to be rendered, grandfathered fee schedules, employees and family members, courtesy
accounts, competition, negotiations with client, etc.). Please Note: As result of the above, similarly situated
clients could pay different fees. In addition, similar advisory services may be available from other investment
advisers for similar or lower fees.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
ReFrame Wealth primarily employs the principles of Modern Portfolio Theory in developing investment strategies
for its Clients. Research and analysis from ReFrame Wealth are derived from numerous sources, including
financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities,
including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
ReFrame Wealth generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. The Advisor’s investment strategy is based upon long-term investment objectives that incorporate
the principles of Modern Portfolio Theory. The Advisor’s investment approach is firmly rooted in the belief that
markets are “efficient,” and that investors’ returns are determined principally by asset allocation decisions, not
market timing or stock picking. ReFrame Wealth will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a
year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of
ReFrame Wealth, LLC
3251 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 502, Fairfax, VA 22030
Phone: (571) 354-8471 | https://www.reframewealth.com/
Page 12
Clients. At times, ReFrame Wealth may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending
on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. ReFrame Wealth will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no
guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. Please see Item 8.B. for risks associated with the
Advisor’s investment strategies as well as general risks of investing.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction
process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short
time later.
Bond ETFs
Bond ETFs are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e., the risk that bond prices
will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the
coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e., the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate
than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e., the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate
that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e., the
risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its
repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e., the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity
Risks, i.e., the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.

Page 13
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving ReFrame Wealth or its management
persons. ReFrame Wealth values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to
perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of
the Advisor or Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 313386.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither ReFrame Wealth, nor its representatives, are registered or have an application pending to register, as
a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
Neither ReFrame Wealth, nor its representatives, are registered or have an application pending to register, as a
futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or a representative of the
foregoing.
Savant Wealth Management - As detailed in Item 4, Savant has been engaged as an investment sub-advisor.
ReFrame Wealth pays the sub-advisor from its wealth management fee. ReFrame Wealth does not receive any
compensation from Savant. Please see Item 4.
The Advisor does not receive, directly or indirectly, compensation from investment advisors that it
recommends or selects for its clients.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
ReFrame Wealth has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment
to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with ReFrame Wealth (“Supervised Persons”). The
Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties
to each Client. ReFrame Wealth and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith
towards each Client. It is the obligation of ReFrame Wealth’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the
specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range
of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the
Advisor at (571) 354-8471.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
ReFrame Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. ReFrame Wealth does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the
Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. ReFrame Wealth does
not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.

Phone: (571) 354-8471 | https://www.reframewealth.com/
Page 14
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
ReFrame Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to
Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through
policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material
non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities
reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the
same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are
made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information.
This risk is mitigated by ReFrame Wealth requiring reporting of personal securities trades by conducting a
coordinated review of personal accounts and the accounts of the Clients. The Advisor has also adopted written
policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While ReFrame Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or
traded afterwards. At no time will ReFrame Wealth, or any Supervised Person of ReFrame Wealth, transact
in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
ReFrame Wealth does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and
execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client
assets and authorize ReFrame Wealth to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the wealth
management agreement. Further, ReFrame Wealth does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate
commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where ReFrame Wealth does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian
recommended by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not
recommended by ReFrame Wealth. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. ReFrame Wealth may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such
as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client,
and its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. ReFrame Wealth will generally recommend that
Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and
member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. ReFrame Wealth maintains an institutional
relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Schwab. Please see Item 14
below. Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
Factors that ReFrame Wealth considers in recommending Schwab include historical relationship with the ReFrame
Wealth, financial strength, reputation, execution capabilities, pricing, research, and service. Although the
commissions and/or transaction fees paid by ReFrame Wealth's clients shall comply with the ReFrame Wealth's duty
to seek best execution, a client may pay a commission that is higher than another qualified broker-dealer might
charge to effect the same transaction where the ReFrame Wealth determines, in good faith, that the
commission/transaction fee is reasonable. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest
possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full
range of broker-dealer services, including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates,
and responsiveness. Accordingly, although ReFrame Wealth will seek competitive rates, it may not necessarily
obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client account transactions. The brokerage commissions or
transaction fees charged by the designated broker-dealer/custodian are exclusive of, and in addition to, ReFrame
Wealth's investment management fee. ReFrame Wealth’s best execution responsibility is qualified if securities that it
purchases for client accounts are mutual funds that trade at net asset value as determined at the daily market close.

Page 15
Research and Additional Benefits
Although not a material consideration when determining whether to recommend that a client utilize the services
of a particular broker-dealer/custodian, ReFrame Wealth may receive from Schwab (or another broker-
dealer/custodian, investment platform, fund sponsor, or vendor) without cost (and/or at a discount) support
services and/or products, certain of which assist the ReFrame Wealth to better monitor and service client
accounts maintained at such institutions. Included within the support services that are obtained by ReFrame
Wealth may be proprietary investment-related research, market and economic research, pricing information and
market data, software and other technology that provide access to client account data, customizable reporting
technology, quarterly fee calculations, no account fees, negotiated trading fees for stocks and exchange traded
funds, compliance and/or practice management-related publications, discounted or gratis consulting services,
discounted and/or gratis attendance at conferences, meetings, and other educational and/or social events,
marketing support, computer hardware and/or software and/or other products used by ReFrame Wealth in
furtherance of its investment advisory business operations.
As indicated above, certain of the support services and/or products that are received may assist the ReFrame
Wealth in managing and administering client accounts. Others do not directly provide such assistance, but rather
assist ReFrame Wealth to manage and further develop its business enterprise.
There is no corresponding commitment made by ReFrame Wealth to Schwab or any other entity to invest any
specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual funds, securities or other investment products
as a result of the above arrangement.
Soft Dollars. Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters
into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other
services. ReFrame Wealth does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item
14 below.
Brokerage Referrals. ReFrame Wealth does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection
with the recommendation for establishing an account.
Directed Brokerage. Advisor does not generally accept directed brokerage arrangements (when a client requires
that account transactions be effected through a specific broker-dealer). In such client directed arrangements, the
client will negotiate terms and arrangements for their account with that broker-dealer, and Advisor will not seek
better execution services or prices from other broker-dealers or be able to “batch” the client's transactions for
execution through other broker-dealers with orders for other accounts managed by ReFrame Wealth. As a result,
client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net
prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case.
In the event that the client directs Advisor to effect securities transactions for the client's accounts through a
specific broker-dealer, the client correspondingly acknowledges that such direction may cause the accounts to
incur higher commissions or transaction costs than the accounts would otherwise incur had the client determined
to effect account transactions through alternative clearing arrangements that may be available through ReFrame
Wealth. Higher transaction costs adversely impact account performance.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. ReFrame Wealth will execute its transactions
through the Custodian as authorized by the Client. ReFrame Wealth may aggregate orders in a block trade or
trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the
same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually
purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the
ReFrame Wealth, LLC
3251 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 502, Fairfax, VA 22030
Phone: (571) 354-8471 | https://www.reframewealth.com/
Page 16
initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage
or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in wealth management Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by the CCO of
ReFrame Wealth. Formal reviews are generally offered at least annually or more frequently depending on the
needs or requests of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a
result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large
deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify ReFrame Wealth if changes
occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional
reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also
provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by ReFrame Wealth
ReFrame Wealth is a fee-based advisory firm that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any
investment product. ReFrame Wealth does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors,
broker-dealers or any un-related third party. ReFrame Wealth may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory
professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet
the goals of its Clients. Likewise, ReFrame Wealth may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from
various third-parties.
Use of Independent Managers
The Advisor may be indirectly compensated by an Independent Manager as described in Item 5 above and does not
receive any other forms of compensation with such arrangements.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
ReFrame Wealth has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services”
unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like ReFrame Wealth. As a registered
investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, ReFrame Wealth receives access to
software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients
that maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but
not all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at
all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic
benefits from a custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's
recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be
ReFrame Wealth, LLC
3251 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 502, Fairfax, VA 22030
Phone: (571) 354-8471 | https://www.reframewealth.com/
Page 17
able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds
and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were
to directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but
may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial support to ReFrame
Wealth that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start- up support,
consulting services and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial
incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. ReFrame Wealth
believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
ReFrame Wealth does not accept or maintain custody of any Client accounts, except for the authorized deduction
of the Advisor’s fees. All Clients must place their assets with a “qualified custodian”. Clients are required to engage
the Custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct ReFrame Wealth to utilize that Custodian for the
Client’s security transactions. Clients should review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any
reports provided by ReFrame Wealth to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more
information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may
have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian and the Advisor
have adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s
instructions.
Certain clients have established asset transfer authorizations that permit the qualified custodian to rely upon
instructions from ReFrame Wealth to transfer client funds or securities to third parties. These arrangements are
disclosed at Item 9 of Part 1 of Form ADV. However, in accordance with the guidance provided in the SEC’s
February 21, 2017 Investment Adviser Association No-Action Letter, the affected accounts are not subject to an
annual surprise CPA examination.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
ReFrame Wealth generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in
Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. Savant, in its capacity as sub-advisor,
will discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts. These
purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth
by the Client and agreed to by ReFrame Wealth. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full
disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of a wealth
management agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by
ReFrame Wealth will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.

Item 4 – Services Fees and Compensation
A. Services
ReFrame Wealth provides customized investment advisory services for its Clients. This Wrap Fee Program
Brochure is provided as a supplement to the ReFrame Wealth Disclosure Brochure (Form ADV 2A). This Wrap
Fee Program Brochure is provided along with the complete Disclosure Brochure to provide full details of the
business practices and fees when selecting ReFrame Wealth as your investment advisor.
As part of the investment advisory fees noted in Item 5 of the Disclosure Brochure, ReFrame Wealth includes, in
addition to securities transaction fees [for certain mutual funds], (herein “Covered Costs”) as part of the overall
investment advisory fee. Securities regulations often refer to this combined fee structure as a “Wrap Fee
Program”. The Advisor’s recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for exchange-
traded fund (“ETF”) and equity trades in Client accounts, but typically charges for mutual funds and other types of
investments. The Advisor sponsors the ReFrame Wealth Wrap Fee Program.
The sole purpose of this Wrap Fee Program Brochure is to provide additional disclosure relating the combination
of Covered Costs into a single “bundled” investment advisory fee. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure references
back to the ReFrame Wealth Disclosure Brochure in which this Wrap Fee Program Brochure serves as an
Appendix. Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the Disclosure Brochure for details on ReFrame
Wealth’s investment philosophy and related services.
In addition to the advisory services, the wrap fee program includes certain brokerage services of Charles Schwab
& Col, Inc. (“Schwab” a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of
FINRA and SIPC. We are independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will act
solely as a broker-dealer and not as an investment advisor to you. It will have no discretion over your account and
will act solely on instructions it receives from us [or you]. Schwab has no responsibility for our services and
undertakes no duty to you to monitor our management of your account or other services we provide to you.
Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities and execute other transactions
when we [or you] instruct them to. We do not open the account for you.
ReFrame Wealth provides investment advisory services specific to the needs of each client. Before providing
investment advisory services, an investment adviser representative will ascertain each client’s investment
objectives. Thereafter, ReFrame Wealth will allocate and/or recommend that the client allocate investment assets
consistent with the designated investment objectives. ReFrame Wealth primarily allocates client investment
assets among various individual equity (stocks), debt (bonds) and fixed income securities, and mutual funds,
exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), on a discretionary basis in accordance with the client’s designated investment
objective(s). Once allocated, ReFrame Wealth provides ongoing monitoring and review of account performance,
asset allocation and client investment objectives.
B. Program Costs
Advisory services provided by ReFrame Wealth are offered in a wrap fee structure whereby Covered Costs are
included in the overall investment advisory fee paid to ReFrame Wealth. As the level of activity in a Client’s
account[s] may vary from year to year, the annual cost to the Client may be more or less than engaging for
advisory services where the Covered Costs are borne separately by the Client. The cost of the Wrap Fee Program
varies depending on services to be provided to each Client, however, the Client is not charged more if there is
higher trading activity or other Covered Costs. A Wrap Fee structure presents a conflict of interest as the Advisor
is incentivized to limit the number of trades placed in the Client’s account[s] or to utilize securities that do not have
transaction fees. As noted above, the Advisor’s recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction
fees for ETF and equity trades in Client accounts, but typically charges for mutual funds and other types of
investments. As such, the Advisor is incentivized to utilize ETFs and other equity securities to limit the overall cost
to the Advisor. The Advisor will only place Client assets into a Wrap Fee Program when it is believed to be in the
Client’s best interest. Please see Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure for complete
details on fees.

A wrap fee is not based directly on the number of transactions in your account. Various factors influence the
relative cost of our wrap fee program to you, including the cost of our investment advice, custody and brokerage
services if you purchased them separately, the types of investments held in your account, and the frequency, type
and size of trades in your account. The program could cost you more or less than purchasing our investment
advice and custody/brokerage services separately.
C. Fees
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the wealth
management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management
at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Wealth management fees range from 0.40% to 1.00% annually. ReFrame
Wealth generally imposes a minimum fee of $6,000 for new clients. ReFrame in its discretion, may charge a lesser
or higher investment advisory fee, charge a flat fee, waive its $6,000 minimum fee requirement, waive its fee entirely,
or charge fee on a different interval, based upon certain criteria (i.e. anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated
future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, complexity
of the engagement, anticipated services to be rendered, grandfathered fee schedules, employees and family
members, courtesy accounts, competition, negotiations with client, etc. Please Note: As result of the above, similarly
situated clients could pay different fees. In addition, similar advisory services may be available from other investment
advisers for similar or lower fees.
The wealth management fee includes sub-advisory fees paid to Savant. The wealth management fee in the first
quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be
negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Certain Clients may be offered a fixed rate fee schedule. The
Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities
held in accounts managed by ReFrame Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. ReFrame Wealth will
conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations.
As noted above, the Wrap Fee Program includes Covered Costs incurred in connection with the discretionary
investment management services provided by ReFrame Wealth, as part of its overall investment advisory fee.
In addition, all fees paid to ReFrame Wealth for investment advisory services or part of the Wrap Fee Program are
separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to their
shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and
expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account
administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. Securities
transaction fees for Client-directed trades will be charged back to the Client. In connection with the discretionary
investment management services provided by ReFrame Wealth, the Client will incur other costs assessed by the
Custodian or other third parties, other than the Covered Costs noted above, such as [wire transfer fees, fees for
trades executed away from the Custodian and other fees]. The Advisor does not control nor share in these fees.
The Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by ReFrame Wealth to fully
understand the total fees to be paid. Please see Item 5.C. – Other Fees and Expenses in the Disclosure Brochure
(included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
In addition to compensating ReFrame for advisory services, the wrap fee you pay ReFrame allows us to pay for
brokerage and execution services provided by Schwab.
We do not charge our clients higher advisory fees based on their trading activity, but you should be aware that we
have an incentive to limit our trading in your account(s) because we are charged for executed trades.
Fee Dispersion: ReFrame Wealth shall receive an investment advisory fee based upon a percentage (%) of
the market value of the assets placed under management (range is negotiable to a maximum of 1.25%).
However, fees shall vary depending upon various objective and subjective factors, including but not limited to: the
representative assigned to the account, the amount of assets to be invested, the complexity of the engagement,
the anticipated number of meetings and servicing needs, related accounts, future earning capacity, anticipated

future additional assets, and negotiations with the client. As a result, similar clients could pay different fees, which
will correspondingly impact a client’s net account performance. Moreover, the services to be provided by
ReFrame Wealth to any particular client could be available from other advisers at lower fees. All clients and
prospective clients should be guided accordingly. Since ReFrame Wealth’s representative shall receive a portion
of the advisory fee charged to the client, a material conflict of interest arises, because an increase in the
management fee paid by the client may result in increased compensation received by ReFrame Wealth’s
representative.
D. Compensation
ReFrame Wealth is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program. ReFrame Wealth receives
investment advisory fees paid by Clients for participating in the Wrap Fee Program and pays the Custodian for the
Covered Costs associated with the normal trading activity in the Client’s account[s].

Performance-Based Fees

or securities held by any Client.

research and analysis methods employed by the Advisor.
Risk of Loss

should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. ReFrame Wealth will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no
guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. Please see Item 8.B. for risks associated with the
Advisor’s investment strategies as well as general risks of investing.

While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction
process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short
time later.
Bond ETFs
Bond ETFs are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e., the risk that bond prices
will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the
coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower
rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a
rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e.
the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on
its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6)
Liquidity Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the
bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor. Please see Item 8.B. – Risk of Loss in the Disclosure Brochure for
details on investment risks.

Proxy Voting
ReFrame Wealth does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements
directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client
retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
ReFrame Wealth generally does not offer to its clients investment advisory services on a non-wrap fee basis.
Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
ReFrame Wealth is the sponsor and sole portfolio manager for the Program. The Advisor does not share Client
information with other portfolio managers because it is the sole portfolio manager for this Wrap Fee Program.
Please also see the ReFrame Wealth Privacy Policy (included after this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
ReFrame Wealth is a full-service investment management advisory firm. Clients always have direct access to the
Portfolio Managers at ReFrame Wealth.
Item 9 – Additional Information
A. Disciplinary Information and Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving ReFrame Wealth or its management
persons. ReFrame Wealth values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to
perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds
of the Advisor or Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 313386.

Program Brochure).
B. Code of Ethics, Review of Accounts, Client Referrals, and Financial Information

Phone: (571) 354-8471 | https://www.reframewealth.com/
Page 7
Clients that maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and
many, but not all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor
endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits from a custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the
Advisor's recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or
services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be
able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds
and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were
to directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to
technology, research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for
Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its
relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for
its Clients, but may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial support to ReFrame
Wealth that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start- up support,
consulting services and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial
incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. ReFrame Wealth
believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
Please see Item 14 – Other Compensation in the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure (included with this
Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for details on additional compensation that may be received by ReFrame Wealth or
its Advisory Persons. Each Advisory Person’s Brochure Supplement (also included with this Wrap Fee Program
Brochure) provides details on any outside business activities and the associated compensation.
Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Financial Information
Neither ReFrame Wealth, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably
impair the ability of ReFrame Wealth to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither ReFrame Wealth, nor any of its
Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. ReFrame Wealth is not required
to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of
$1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
