Regency Wealth Management was founded in 2004 as Hudson Capital Management LLC and its principal owners
WEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVIC ES:
Regency Wealth Management (hereinafter Regency) provides Wealth Management Services, a combination of
Investment Advisory Services and Financial Planning Services described below. We typically work with clients having
investible assets in excess of $1,000,000.
IN VESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES:
Regency provides Investment Advisory Services, defined as giving continuous advice to a client or making investments
for a client based on the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which client attitude toward
risk, and their particular goals and objectives are explored, Regency develops a personalized investment policy statement
for that client. Regency then creates and manages an investment portfolio based on that policy. Regency may provide
this service to individuals, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, estates, foundations, charitable organizations, and
for- profit and not-for-profit corporations. Regency manages advisory accounts on a discretionary basis.
Regency creates investment portfolios consisting of one or all of the following: individual equities, bonds, no-load and
load-waived open- and closed-end mutual funds, structured products, exchange traded products, certificates of deposit,
preferred stocks, real estate investment trusts, publicly traded master limited partnerships, and other investments. Regency
allocates the client’s assets among various investments taking into consideration the overall objectives of the client. Funds
are selected on the basis of any or all of the following criteria: the fund’s performance history; the industry sector in
which the fund invests; the track record of the fund’s manager; the fund’s investment objectives; the fund’s management
style and philosophy; and the fund’s management fee structure. Portfolio weighting between funds and market sectors
will be determined by each client’s individual needs and circumstances. Clients have the opportunity to place reasonable
restrictions on the types of investments which will be made on the client’s behalf. Clients retain individual ownership of all
securities.
In performing its services, Regency 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, each client is advised that it remains their
responsibility to promptly notify Regency if there is ever any change in their financial situation or investment objectives for
the purpose of reviewing/evaluating/revising Regency’s previous recommendations and/or services.
Regulatory Assets Under Management total $642,604,901 as of February 28, 2026. Of the total client assets
managed, $614,802,173 is managed on a discretionary basis and $27,802,728 is managed on a non-discretionary basis.
FINANCIAL PLANNING:
Regency also offers advice in the form of a financial plan. Clients can receive a written report and online access providing
the client with a detailed financial plan designed to help clients achieve their stated financial goals and objectives.
In general, the financial plan may address any or all of the following areas of concern:
• PERSONAL: Family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information and
financial goals.
• TAX & CASH FLOW: Income tax and spending analysis and planning for past, current and
future years. Regency may illustrate the impact of various investments on a client’s current
income tax and future tax liability. Regency does not provide tax advice.
1
• DEATH & DISABILITY: Cash needs at death, income needs of surviving dependents, estate
planning and disability income analysis. Analysis of life insurance and estate plans. Regency
does not provide insurance products, nor legal advice.
• RETIREMENT: Analysis of current strategies and investment plans to help the client achieve
his or her retirement goals.
• INVESTMENTS: Analysis of investment alternatives and their effect on a client’s portfolio.
• PHILANTHROPY: Analysis of current and planned giving.
Regency gathers required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered includes a client’s
current financial status, future goals and attitudes towards risk. Related documents supplied by the client are carefully
reviewed, including a questionnaire completed by the client. Regency provides advice on non-securities matters generally
in connection with the rendering of estate planning advice. Should a client choose to implement the recommendations
contained in the plan, Regency suggests the client work closely with their attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or
stockbroker. Implementation of financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client’s discretion. Financial Planning
recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company. All
recommendations are of a generic nature.
In performing its services, Regency 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. If requested by the client, Regency may
also recommend the services of other professionals for implementation purposes. The client is under no obligation to
engage the services of any such recommended professional. Clients are encouraged to periodically review and update
information provided to Regency. Moreover, each client is advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify
Regency if there is ever any change in their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing/
evaluating/revising Regency’s previous recommendations and/or services.
RETIR EMENT PLAN C ONSULTING:
Regency provides retirement plan consulting services to select clients, pursuant to which it assists sponsors of self-
directed retirement plans with the selection and/or monitoring of investment alternatives (generally open-end mutual
funds and/or exchange traded funds) from which plan participants shall choose in self-directing the investments for
their individual plan retirement accounts. In addition, to the extent requested by the plan sponsor, Regency may also
provide participant education designed to assist participants in identifying the appropriate investment strategy for their
retirement plan accounts. The terms and conditions of the engagement shall generally be set forth in an Investment
Management Agreement between Regency and the plan sponsor.
F E E S A N D C O M P E N S AT I O N
Regency is a Fee-Only advisory firm and does not accept any transaction-based compensation. In certain
circumstances, Regency’s fees may be negotiable. The specific manner in which fees are charged by Regency is
established in a client’s written agreement with Regency. Client accounts will be charged in arrears in the first business
week following the end of each calendar quarter. In certain circumstances clients who are unable to have accounts charged
will be billed. Fees will be calculated based upon the average daily value (market value or fair market value in the absence
of market value) of the client’s assets under management for the period just ended. Relationships initiated or terminated
during a billing quarter will be charged a prorated fee. Upon termination of a relationship, any earned, unpaid fees will be
due and payable.
2
Regency makes available to the client, upon request, a billing statement, including the amount of the fee, the
value of the client’s assets on which the fee is based, and the specific manner in which the adviser’s fee was calculated.
Additionally, the custodian receives specific instructions from Regency as to the fees that are to be debited from the
client’s accounts. The custodians send statements to clients, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the
accounts including the amount of the advisory fees paid directly to Regency.
Given that client fees are calculated as a percentage of assets under management, Regency has a conflict of interest
whereby Regency has an incentive to encourage clients to move money from other managers/investments to Regency in
order to increase fees paid to Regency, rather than on a client’s needs. Additionally, Regency has incentive to retain assets
under our management instead of paying down debt or gifting/transferring assets outside of our management.
Retirement Plan Rollovers - No Obligation / 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 any 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 and penalties). If Regency recommends that a client roll over their retirement plan assets into an account
managed by Regency and Regency was not already advising on those assets, such a recommendation creates a conflict
of interest if Regency will earn an advisory fee on the rolled over assets. No client is under any obligation to roll over
retirement plan assets to an account managed by Regency.
Use of Aggregation Software Vendors: Regency uses a third-party online platform to assist with management of
clients’ “held-away” accounts, including 401(k)s, 403(b)s, annuities, and 529 education savings plans. The platform
permits advisers to manage held-away assets without having to reflect that it has custody of such assets on Part 1 of
Form ADV. The advisory fee charged by Regency for the management of held-away assets is established in the client’s
Investment Advisory Agreement. The vendor charges Regency an annual fee based upon the percentage of assets managed
in the held-away accounts. Other than Regency’s advisory fee, clients do not pay any additional fee to the vendor or to
Regency in connection with the use of the vendor’s platform.

Regency requires a minimum annual fee of $11,000 for Wealth Management and Investment Advisory clients, which
equates to our stated fees on a $1,000,000 portfolio. Regency will ensure that the quarterly fee charged does not exceed
3% annualized.
OT HER FEES INCURRED BY CLIENTS BUT NOT PAI D TO REG ENCY:
Regency’s fees do not include brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which may
be incurred by the client. Clients may also incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, and other third parties
such as fees charged by managers, 12b-1 fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer
3
and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds
and exchange traded products also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such
charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to the Regency fee, and Regency shall not receive any
portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services of
Regency. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by Regency which are designed, among other
things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund or 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 Regency to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory
services being provided.
Regency has engaged a third‐party service provider, Chicago Clearing Corporation (CCC), to monitor and file
securities claims class action litigation paperwork with claims administrators on behalf of the Firm’s clients. The
engagement requires we share client information, such as name, account number, and trading history with
CCC. Regency does not receive any fees or remuneration in connection with this service nor does it receive any
fees from the third‐party provider(s). CCC earns a fee based on a flat percentage of all claims it collects on behalf of
Regency’s clients. This fee is collected and retained by CCC out of the claims paid by the claim administrator. Clients
may opt out of this service at any time. If a client opts out, Regency does not have an obligation to advise or take any
action on behalf of a client with regard to class action litigation involving investments held in or formerly held in a
client’s account.
The Brokerage Practices section below further describes the factors that Regency considers in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g.,
commissions).
Termination of Relationship: A client agreement may be canceled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon
receipt of five days prior written notice. Upon termination of any relationship, any earned, unpaid fees will be due and
payable. The client has the right to terminate an agreement without penalty within five business days after entering into
the agreement.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STR ATEGIES & RISK OF LOSS
underlying economic factors, financial position, competitive environment and management performance relative to
Regency uses two primary methods of analysis: fundamental and technical. Fundamental analysis focuses on
competition and markets in an effort to identify undervalued opportunities. Technical analysis focuses on trading and
market trends in an effort to identify expected movements. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance,
and so the use of fundamental and technical analysis in selecting investment securities may not result in positive
performance in general, or versus benchmarks.
Investment strategies used to implement investment advice given to clients is primarily long-term purchases
(securities held at least one year) and is supplemented when market opportunities arise by short-term sales (securities
sold within one year) and trading (securities sold within 30 days). From time to time short sales or purchases of
securities that move in the opposite direction of an index may be utilized, as may option writing, including covered
options, uncovered options and option purchases.
Securities utilized are subject to market, economic and business risks that may cause their value to fluctuate over time,
sometimes rapidly. Generally, large company stocks are less volatile than small company stocks. Smaller companies can
be less seasoned, have smaller market share and weaker financial stability but often have greater potential for growth.
Domestic stocks are generally less volatile than international stocks. International investing poses additional risks such as
foreign currency exposure which may rise or fall relative to the US Dollar. International markets may also be subject to
more political risk than domestic markets, and they may not be as liquid or have as stringent accounting and corporate
governance rules as US companies.
In general, stocks are more volatile than bonds and other fixed income investments. The main risks taken on from fixed
income investments are interest rate risk (the risk that interest rates rise, reducing the value of fixed income investments),
duration risk (the risk that longer-term bonds fall further than shorter-term bonds in a rising rate environment) and default
risk (the risk that the issuer of the security is unable to make interest and principal payments as scheduled).
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Before investing, clients should
understand that their investments may not be insured by the FDIC, NCUSIF, or any other federal government agency.
Investments involve risk and may lose value.

Brokerage: Regency participates in the Fidelity Clearing and Custody Solutions (‘FCCS’) program, sponsored by
Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (‘Fidelity’), a FINRA registered broker-dealer. Regency has an arrangement with
Fidelity through which Fidelity provides Regency with Fidelity’s “platform” services. The platform services include,
among others, brokerage, custodial, administrative support, record keeping and related services that are intended to
support intermediaries like Regency in conducting business and in serving the best interests of their clients but that may
benefit Regency. Regency and Fidelity are not affiliates, and Regency has no broker-dealer affiliations. Although not a
material consideration when determining whether to recommend that a client utilize the services of a particular broker-
dealer/custodian, Regency may receive from custodians, in particular, Fidelity, without cost (and/or at a discount)
5
support services and/or products, which assist Regency to better monitor and service client accounts. More information
about this arrangement can be found under Brokerage Practices section below.
C O D E O F E T H I C S
Regency has adopted a Code of Ethics (Code) for all persons of the firm describing its high standard of business
conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client
information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition on rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of
significant gifts, and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. All persons at Regency must acknowledge
the terms of the Code annually, or more often as amended.
Regency anticipates that in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, it will cause
accounts over which Regency has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients
or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which Regency, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or
indirectly, have a position of interest. Regency’s employees and persons associated with Regency may also enter personal
securities transactions that may be inconsistent with investment advice given to clients. Subject to satisfying this policy
and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of Regency and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in
securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for Regency’s clients. The Code is designed to assure that the
personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of Regency will not interfere with (i) making
decisions in the best interest of advisory 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 have been designated as exempt
transactions, based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the best interest of Regency’s
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 after all anticipated client transactions
were completed, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held
by an employee. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest
between Regency and its clients.
Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an aggregated basis when
consistent with Regency’s obligation of best execution. In such circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts
will receive or sell securities at a total average price. Regency 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.
Regency’s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm’s Code of Ethics by contacting Mark Reitsma
at 201-447-5850.
It is Regency’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal or agency cross securities transactions for client
accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where an adviser, acting as principal for its own
account, buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. An agency cross transaction is defined as a transaction
where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation to a transaction in which the investment adviser, or any person
controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser, acts as broker for both the advisory client and
for another person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross transactions may arise where an adviser is dually
registered as a broker-dealer or has an affiliated broker-dealer, neither of which applies to Regency.

B R O K E R A G E P R A C T I C E S
Regency participates in the Fidelity Clearing and Custody Solutions (‘FCCS’) program, sponsored by Fidelity
Brokerage Services, Inc. (‘Fidelity’), a FINRA registered broker-dealer. Under certain circumstances, the need may
arise for clients to engage the services of a broker-dealer other than Fidelity. For example, this may be the case in certain
401(k) plans where Ascensus serves as custodian and for certain 529 college savings plans where American Funds serves
as broker-dealer.
As Regency does not have the discretion to choose the broker-dealer or the commission rates to be paid, clients must
direct the use of a particular broker-dealer. Regency has evaluated Fidelity and other broker-dealers and believes that the
broker-dealers recommended by Regency will provide Regency clients with a blend of execution services, commission
costs and professionalism that will assist Regency in obtaining best execution for transactions. While Regency has a
reasonable belief that the recommended broker-dealers are able to obtain best execution and competitive prices, Regency
will not be independently seeking lowest possible commission rates through other broker-dealers. While not all advisors
require clients to direct brokerage, Regency reserves the right to decline acceptance of any client account that directs the
use of a broker-dealer other than those recommended if Regency believes that this would adversely affect Regency’s duty
to obtain best execution.
Regency may combine (“block”) trades where possible and when advantageous to clients. This blocking of trades
permits the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple clients’ accounts. Block trading
allows Regency to execute trades in a timelier, equitable manner to clients. In the event that a client negotiates terms
and arrangements for an account at a non-recommended broker-dealer, Regency will not seek better execution services
or prices from other broker-dealers or be able to “block” the account transactions for execution through another broker-
dealer with orders for other accounts managed by Regency. 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 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 a broker-dealer’s services,
including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. Factors which
Regency considers in recommending broker-dealers to clients include financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing,
research, and service.
Although not a material consideration when determining whether to recommend that a client utilize the services of
a particular broker-dealer/custodian, Regency may receive from custodians, in particular Fidelity, without cost (and/
or at a discount) support services and/or products, which assist Regency to better monitor and service client accounts.
Regency has an arrangement with Fidelity through which Fidelity provides Regency with Fidelity’s “platform” services.
The platform services include, among others, brokerage, custodial, administrative support, record keeping and related
services that are intended to support intermediaries like Regency in conducting business and in serving the best interests
of their clients but that may benefit Regency. These brokerage services presently include services such as live securities
quotations, and are used by Regency to manage accounts. As a result of receiving such services for no additional cost,
Regency may have an incentive to continue to use or expand the use of Fidelity’s services. Regency examined this
potential conflict of interest when it chose to enter into the relationship with Fidelity and has determined that the
relationship is in the best interests of Regency’s clients and satisfies its client obligations, including its 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 Regency determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of
the brokerage services received. 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 a broker-
dealer’s services, including execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. Accordingly, although Regency
7
will seek competitive rates to the benefit of all clients, it may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission
rates for specific client account transactions. Regency and Fidelity are not affiliates, and Regency has no broker-dealer
affiliations.
Certain broker-dealers enable Regency to obtain many no-load mutual funds without transaction charges and other
no-load and load waived funds at nominal transaction charges. Broker-dealers and custodians, including Fidelity charge
commission rates which are generally considered discounted from customary retail commission rates. The commissions
and/or transaction fees charged by recommended broker-dealers may be higher or lower than those charged by other
broker-dealers. Regency will not receive any portion of the brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees charged to
clients. The brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees charged by broker-dealers are exclusive of, and in addition
to, Regency’s investment advisory fee.
From time to time Regency may engage in cross trading, more often in bonds. A cross trade is a prearranged
transaction between two different client accounts. Benefits include reduced transaction costs (spread as incorporated
into yield) and avoidance of potential market impact costs (i.e., adverse movements in market price caused by executing
the transactions in the open market). Regency engages in cross trades when it achieves best execution for the clients and
neither client account is disadvantaged by the transaction. Regency does not receive any fee for a cross trade.
F INANCIA L PLA N N ING:
Financial Planning clients will select their own broker-dealers and insurance companies for the implementation of
financial planning recommendations. Regency’s financial planning clients may use any broker or dealer of their choice.
Regency may recommend one or several brokers. Regency clients must independently evaluate these brokers before
transacting business. The factors considered by Regency when making such recommendation are the broker’s ability to
provide professional services, Regency’s experience with the broker, the broker’s reputation, and the broker’s financial
strength, among other factors.

All clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to advise Regency of any changes in their investment
objectives and/or financial situation. All clients (in person, via video or telephonically) are encouraged to review
financial planning issues, investment objectives and account performance with Regency on at least an annual basis.
REPORTING:
Regency expects to provide written reports on the portfolio at least annually as part of regular reviews with Investment
Advisory and Wealth Management clients. Typical content in these reports includes review of their investment policy
statement, asset allocation, and performance versus benchmarks. Regency will generally not provide regular written
reports to Financial Planning clients as those are available online.

Regency, as part of its written contract with clients, usually receives discretionary authority from the client at the
outset of an advisory relationship to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases,
however, such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular
client account as agreed upon in an Investment Policy Statement specific to each client. Any limitations on this
