Item 4 - Advisory Business
A. Description of the Advisory Firm
Regimen Wealth, LLC (“Regimen” or the “Firm”) is a limited liability company organized in the State of
Georgia. Regimen is an investment advisory firm registered with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). Regimen has been in business since July 2020. The principal owners of the Firm are
Ian Alexandre Weinstein and Aiki Altmets.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Regimen primarily offers personalized financial planning and discretionary investment management
services to individuals and high-net-worth individuals. Regimen specializes in financial planning services
and utilizes its financial planning process, analysis, and tools as part of its overall advisory services to
clients; however, clients are under no obligation to engage Regimen for financial planning or to implement
any recommendations through Regimen.
Financial Planning Services
Regimen offers financial planning services to set forth goals, objectives, and implementation strategies for
the client over the long term. Regimen’s comprehensive financial planning analysis consists of two
components: Core Planning topics and Discretionary Planning topics. Unless otherwise stated, review and
analysis of Core Planning topics is generally incorporated into the financial planning process for all clients.
Additionally, depending upon individual client requirements and life-phase factors (e.g. employment status,
marital status, dependent children, retirement status, business professional/owner/executive, etc.), Regimen
may include one or more of the Discretionary Planning topics described below:
Income/Expense Analysis
Core Planning
• Net Worth Analysis
• Cash Reserve
• Cash Flow Analysis and Planning
•
• Goal Planning/Funding
• Retirement Planning
• Protection Planning
• Risk Profile Review and Goal Alignment
• Behavioral Finance Approach
• *Tax Planning Strategies
*Tax status is reviewed as part of the Core planning process,
however, the implementation of tax strategies depends upon the
complexity and needs of each client.
Discretionary Planning
• Life Insurance Needs Analysis
• Long Term Care Planning
• Education Planning
• Debt Management Strategies
• Pension Strategies
• Employee Benefits Review
• Compensation Package Review
• Executive Compensation Strategies
• Social Security Analysis
• Health Care in Retirement
• Small Business Owner Strategies
• Multigenerational Wealth Discussions
• Coordination with CPAs, attorneys, and
other relevant professionals
Regimen’s financial planning process involves an initial due diligence and data gathering process to create
a roadmap tailored to financial situation of each client. Core Planning will be provided to the client on an
initial and annual basis and may be tailored further based on client’s specific needs, wishes and/or
circumstances. This personalization may include, but is not guaranteed or limited to, adding or eliminating
4
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
topics, ad hoc conversations, multiple updates to the analysis due to major changes mid-process, calls and/or
meetings with clients and/or other professionals. Regimen typically conducts mid-year and annual reviews
with clients to collect updated information and discuss any changes to the client’s financial goals or
circumstances.
The specific services and level of analysis of Core and Discretionary Planning topics provided to each client
will vary depending on information received from the financial planning process. Clients should notify us
promptly anytime there is a change in their financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs and/or if there is
any change to the financial information provided to us either initially or between review cycles.
On an annual basis, Regimen provides clients with an executive summary detailing its financial planning
analysis and recommendations. Clients are under no obligation to implement any of the recommendations
provided by Regimen. However, should a client decide to proceed with the implementation of the
investment recommendations then the client can either have Regimen implement those recommendations
or utilize the services of any investment adviser or broker-dealer of their choice. Regimen cannot provide
any guarantees or promises that a client’s financial goals and objectives will be met.
Investment Management Services
Regimen offers investment management services on a discretionary basis. All investment advice provided
is customized to each client’s financial situation, investment objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, tax
considerations, liquidity needs, existing holdings, and any reasonable investment restrictions. The
information provided by the client, together with any other information relating to the client’s overall
financial circumstances, will be used by Regimen to determine the appropriate portfolio asset allocation and
investment strategy for the client.
The securities utilized by Regimen for investment in client accounts primarily consist of exchange traded
funds (ETFs), but we may also invest in equity securities, mutual funds, corporate bonds, REITS, fixed
and variable annuities, insurance products, and private investment vehicles, among others, if we determine
such investments fit within a client’s objectives and are in the best interest of our clients.
External Managers
Regimen may further recommend to clients that all or a portion of their investment portfolio be managed
on a discretionary basis by one or more unaffiliated money managers or investment platforms (“External
Managers”). The client may be required to enter into a separate agreement with the External Manager(s),
which will set forth the terms and conditions of the client’s engagement of the External Manager. Regimen
generally renders services to the client relative to the discretionary selection of External Managers. Regimen
also assists in establishing the client’s investment objectives for the assets managed by External Managers,
monitors and reviews the account performance and defines any restrictions on the account.
The investment management fees charged by the designated External Managers, together with the fees
charged by the corresponding designated broker-dealer/custodian of the client’s assets, are exclusive of,
and in addition to, the annual advisory fee charged by Regimen.
Note Regarding Tax or Legal Advice: In providing services, Regimen does not offer or otherwise
provide tax or legal advice. Regimen will, at a client’s direction and approval, work with a client’s
existing tax or legal professionals to assist in the provision of the services. Fees charged by any tax, legal,
5
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
or other third-party professionals are the responsibility of the client. Regimen may refer professionals;
however, there is no compensation to Regimen for these referrals, and clients are under no obligation to
use the referred service providers.
C. Client-Tailored Advisory Services
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their accounts if Regimen determines, in
its sole discretion, that the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management
strategy or prove overly burdensome for Regimen’s management efforts.
D. Information Received from Clients
Regimen will not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or the information provided by clients.
Regimen is not obligated to verify any information received from a client or other professionals (e.g.
attorney, accountant) designated by a client, and Regimen is expressly authorized by the client to rely on
such information provided. Under all circumstances, clients are responsible for promptly notifying Regimen
in writing of any material changes to the client’s financial situation, investment objectives, time horizon,
or risk tolerance.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, Regimen had $365,160,462 in assets under management, all of which were
managed on a discretionary basis.
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Regimen charges a fixed fee for financial planning services and fees based on a percentage of assets under
management for investment management services. Fees vary depending on the particular types of services
to be provided. The specific fees charged by Regimen for services provided will be set forth in each client
agreement.
A. Financial Planning and Investment Management Services
Fees for Financial Planning Services
Clients receiving financial planning services are charged a fixed annual fee of up to $50,000, depending on
the scope, complexity, and level of services provided, including to the extent the client engages Regimen
for review and analysis of Discretionary Planning topics described in Item 4. The specific fee and scope of
services will be set forth in a written financial planning agreement between Regimen and the client prior to
the commencement of services.
As a general policy, clients maintaining $3,250,000 or more in billable managed assets with Regimen have
the option to receive complimentary financial planning services at no additional charge.
• This benefit is subject to change at Regimen’s discretion and will be evaluated at least annually
during the client’s service renewal month for the purpose of determining any adjustments to the
financial planning fee.
6
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
• A financial planning agreement may still be maintained even if no separate financial planning fee
is charged.
Fees for Investment Management Services
Regimen charges an annual asset-based investment management services fee that is agreed upon with each
client and set forth in an agreement executed by Regimen and the client. The management fee varies with
breakpoints in accordance with the following schedule:
FEE SCHEDULE
Market Value of Assets*
Up to $1,000,000
$1,000,001 to $3,000,000
$3,000,001 to $5,000,000
$5,000,001 to $10,000,000
Above $10,000,000
Fee Rate**
1.25%
1.00%
0.85%
0.65%
0.50%
*Market Value of Assets includes the managed and billable assets of all related client
accounts, specifically the accounts of direct family members sharing the same residential
address.
**Fee Rate only applies to the Market Value of Assets within that range (e.g. for an account
with a market value of assets of $2,000,000 – the first $1,000,000 will be subject to a fee rate
of 1.25% and the remaining assets will be subject to a fee rate of 1.00%).
Regimen’s management fee is prorated and charged monthly, in advance, based upon the market value of
managed assets on the last day of the previous month as determined by an independent third party (including
the client’s custodian or other third-party source). However, the management fee for the initial month will
be paid, in arrears, based on the value of the assets on the date of deposit for the pro rata number of days
remaining in the month. Any partial billing periods will be prorated and refunded in the event of unearned
fee from account closure.
For purposes of fee calculation, the asset value of client accounts includes cash and cash equivalents.
Additionally, if cash or securities are deposited to or withdrawn from a client’s account on an individual
business day during any month, Regimen will (i) assess investment management services fees to the
deposited assets based on the value of the assets on the date of deposit for the pro rata number of days
remaining in the month, or (ii) refund unearned, prepaid investment management services fees based on the
value of the assets on the date of withdrawal for the pro rata number of days remaining in the month. No
additional investment management services fees or adjustments to previously assessed investment
management services fees will be made in connection with deposits or withdrawals that occur during the
last month of the month.
Note on Fee-based Annuities
Insurance products billed as part of fees based upon assets under management will be charged either
quarterly in advance or quarterly in arrears based on the individual insurance carrier. The fee is based upon
the market value of the assets being managed by Regimen on the last day of the previous quarter. If assets
are deposited into or withdrawn from an account after the inception of a billing period, the fee payable with
7
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
respect to such assets is adjusted to reflect the interim change in portfolio value as related to the
deposit/withdrawal and billed or charged not later than at the time of the next billing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Regimen and the client may choose to negotiate an annual financial
planning or investment management fee that varies from the schedule and ranges set forth above. Factors
upon which a different financial planning or management fee may be based include, but are not limited to,
the size and nature of the relationship, the services rendered, the nature and complexity of the products
and investments involved, time commitments, and travel requirements. The investment management
services fee charged by the Firm will apply to all of the client’s assets under management, unless
specifically excluded in the client agreement. Although Regimen believes that its fees are competitive,
clients should understand that lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources
and firms.
The investment advisory agreement between Regimen and the client may be terminated at will by either
Regimen or the client upon written notice. Regimen does not impose termination fees when the client
terminates the investment advisory relationship, except when agreed upon in advance.
B. Payment of Fees
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees are billed monthly in advance. Clients will receive invoices detailing the fee amount
due and payable. To the extent fees are paid in advance, unearned fees will be refunded as follows:
• The financial planning agreement may be terminated by either party at any time upon written notice.
• Upon termination, any unearned portion of prepaid fees will be promptly refunded on a pro rata
basis, based on the number of days remaining in the billing period.
• Regimen does not impose termination fees unless otherwise disclosed and agreed to in writing in
advance.
Investment Management Services
Regimen generally deducts its investment management services fee from a client’s investment account(s)
held at his/her custodian. Upon engaging Regimen to manage such account(s), a client grants Regimen this
limited authority through a written instruction to the custodian of his/her account(s). The client is
responsible for verifying the accuracy of the calculation of the investment management services fee; the
custodian will not determine whether the fee is accurate or properly calculated.
Unless otherwise agreed to, clients are generally required to have their investment management services
fees deducted from their accounts. The custodian of the client’s accounts provides each client with a
statement, at least quarterly, indicating separate line items for all amounts disbursed from the client's
account(s), including any fees paid directly to Regimen.
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to Regimen’s right
to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that the Firm reserves the right to
liquidate transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a client’s account. Clients may
withdraw account assets at any time on notice to Regimen, subject to the usual and customary securities
settlement procedures. However, the Firm generally designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the
8
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a client’s investment objectives. Regimen may consult
with its clients about the options and implications of transferring securities. Clients are advised that when
transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to transaction fees, short-term redemption fees,
fees assessed at the mutual fund level (e.g. contingent deferred sales charges) and/or tax ramifications.
C. Clients Responsible for Fees Charged by Financial Institutions and External Money
Managers
In connection with Regimen’s management of an account, a client will incur fees and/or expenses separate
from and in addition to Regimen’s advisory fee. These additional fees may include transaction charges and
the fees/expenses charged by any custodian, subadvisor, mutual fund, ETF, separate account manager (and
the manager’s platform manager, if any), limited partnership, or other advisor, transfer taxes, odd lot
differentials, exchange fees, interest charges, ADR processing fees, and any charges, taxes or other fees
mandated by any federal, state or other applicable law, retirement plan account fees (where applicable),
margin interest, brokerage commissions, mark-ups or mark-downs and other transaction-related costs,
electronic fund and wire fees, and any other fees that reasonably may be borne by a brokerage account. For
External Managers, clients should review each manager’s Form ADV 2A disclosure brochure and any
contract they sign with the External Manager (in a dual contract relationship). The client is responsible for
all such fees and expenses. Please see Item 12 of this brochure regarding brokerage practices.
D. Prepayment of Fees
As noted in Item 5(B) above, Regimen’s advisory fees generally are paid in advance. Upon the termination
of a client’s advisory relationship, Regimen will issue a refund equal to any unearned advisory services fee
for the remainder of the month.
E. Outside Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products to Clients
Regimen generally does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities
transactions in any client account, other than the financial planning and investment advisory fees noted
above.
In limited situations the Firm receives commission-based compensation for the implementation of fixed
insurance products (e.g. term life or disability insurance) stemming from financial planning
recommendations. This practice presents a conflict of interest because the Firm has an incentive to
recommend fixed insurance products to clients for the purpose of generating additional revenue rather than
solely based on a client’s needs. The Firm addresses this conflict by requiring its supervised persons to act
in the best interests of its clients when making such recommendations (e.g. insurance coverage gap
identified). However, clients are under no obligation to purchase insurance products through our Firm and
affiliated personnel.
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Regimen does not charge performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side management. Performance-
based fees are fees that are based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of a client’s account.
9
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged performance-based
fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees. Regimen’s
fees are calculated as described in Item 5 above.
Item 7 - Types of Clients
Regimen offers services primarily to individuals and high-net-worth individuals but may also provide
services to corporations and other business entities.
Regimen does not impose a minimum portfolio size or a minimum initial investment to open an account.
However, Regimen does reserve the right to accept or decline a potential client for any reason in its sole
discretion.
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis and Risk of Loss
A primary step in Regimen’s investment management process is to develop an understanding of each client.
The Firm works closely with clients to understand their financial condition, investment objectives, time
horizon, risk tolerance, tax considerations, liquidity needs, existing holdings, and any reasonable investment
restrictions. This information is used to assemble a picture of the client’s financial situation before
implementing any investment strategy.
Once client goals and constraints are identified, Regimen applies an evidence-driven investment approach
informed by academic research and widely accepted investment principles. The Firm seeks to construct
diversified portfolios designed to balance risk and return in a manner consistent with each client’s objectives
and comfort level. In developing investment strategies, the Firm considers the impact of taxes, fees, and
implementation costs on long-term outcomes and seeks to improve after-tax efficiency where appropriate.
Portfolio Structure and Implementation
Client portfolios are generally constructed using a model-based framework, which may include one or more
of the following components, depending on client circumstances:
• Core Allocation
The core of a portfolio is typically allocated to broadly diversified, low-cost investment vehicles,
such as mutual funds and ETFs, designed to provide exposure to domestic and global equity and
fixed income markets. This core allocation is intended to serve as the long-term foundation of the
portfolio.
• Factor-Based or Strategic Tilts
Where appropriate, portfolios may include allocations designed to tilt toward certain risk factors or
asset classes that academic research has shown may influence long-term returns, such as size, value,
quality, or profitability. The inclusion and sizing of such tilts are based on client risk tolerance,
time horizon, and ability to maintain the strategy through market cycles.
10
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
• Actively Managed Strategies
In certain cases, the Firm may incorporate actively managed mutual funds, ETFs, or separate
account strategies when it believes they may be appropriate for specific asset classes, market
environments, or client needs. Active strategies are evaluated using a combination of qualitative
and quantitative criteria, including investment process, risk management, cost, and consistency.
• Alternative or Diversifying Investments
For certain clients, and when appropriate based on objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and
net worth, portfolios may include alternative or diversifying investments. These investments are
typically intended to provide diversification benefits rather than to enhance short-term returns and
may involve higher risks, including liquidity constraints.
• Tax-Aware Implications
When applicable, the Firm seeks to implement portfolios in a tax-aware manner, which may include
asset location strategies, tax-efficient investment selection, and tax-loss harvesting. Tax strategies
are applied in coordination with the client’s broader financial and tax planning and are subject to
account type and applicable laws.
In general, Regimen employs a long-term investment approach designed to support the client’s stated goals
and planning horizons. However, the Firm may recommend shorter-term actions when warranted by client-
specific circumstances, risk management considerations, or tax planning opportunities.
Client portfolios with similar investment objectives and asset allocation goals may own different securities
and investments. The client’s portfolio size, tax sensitivity, desire for simplicity, income needs, long-term
wealth transfer objectives, time horizon and choice of custodian are all factors that influence Regimen’s
investment recommendations.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss. A client can lose all or a substantial portion of his/her
investment. A client should be willing to bear such a loss. Some investments are intended only for
sophisticated investors and can involve a high degree of risk.
B. Material Risks Involved
Investing in securities involves a significant risk of loss which clients should be prepared to bear. Regimen’s
investment recommendations are subject to various market, currency, economic, political and business
risks, and such investment decisions will not always be profitable. Clients should be aware that there may
be a loss or depreciation to the value of the client’s account. There can be no assurance that the client’s
investment objectives will be obtained and no inference to the contrary should be made.
Generally, the market value of equity stocks will fluctuate with market conditions, and small-stock prices
generally will fluctuate more than large-stock prices. The market value of fixed income securities will
generally fluctuate inversely with interest rates and other market conditions prior to maturity. Fixed income
securities are obligations of the issuer to make payments of principal and/or interest on future dates, and
include, among other securities: bonds, notes and debentures issued by corporations; debt securities issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or by a non-U.S.
11
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities; municipal securities; and mortgage-backed and
asset-backed securities. These securities may pay fixed, variable, or floating rates of interest, and may
include zero coupon obligations and inflation-linked fixed income securities. The value of longer duration
fixed income securities will generally fluctuate more than shorter duration fixed income securities.
Investments in overseas markets also pose special risks, including currency fluctuation and political risks,
and it may be more volatile than that of a U.S. only investment. Such risks are generally intensified for
investments in emerging markets. In addition, there is no assurance that a mutual fund or ETF will achieve
its investment objective. Past performance of investments is no guarantee of future results.
Additional risks involved in the securities recommended by Regimen include, among others:
• Stock market risk, which is the chance that stock prices overall will decline. The market value
of equity securities will generally fluctuate with market conditions. Stock markets tend to move
in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. Prices of equity securities
tend to fluctuate over the short term as a result of factors affecting the individual companies,
industries or the securities market as a whole. Equity securities generally have greater price
volatility than fixed income securities.
• Sector risk, which is the chance that significant problems will affect a particular sector, or that
returns from that sector will trail returns from the overall stock market. Daily fluctuations in
specific market sectors are often more extreme than fluctuations in the overall market.
•
Issuer risk, which is the risk that the value of a security will decline for reasons directly related
to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the
issuer's goods or services.
• Non-diversification risk, which is the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers,
industries or foreign currencies, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single
economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be.
• Value investing risk, which is the risk that value stocks not increase in price, not issue the
anticipated stock dividends, or decline in price, either because the market fails to recognize the
stock’s intrinsic value, or because the expected value was misgauged. If the market does not
recognize that the securities are undervalued, the prices of those securities might not appreciate
as anticipated. They also may decline in price even though in theory they are already undervalued.
Value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks but may lag behind growth stocks in
an up market.
• Smaller company risk, which is the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company
will go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held
securities. Investments in smaller companies are subject to greater levels of credit, market and
issuer risk.
• Foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, which is the risk that investing in foreign securities result
in the portfolio experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a portfolio that
invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies. Risks associated with investing in foreign
securities include fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies that may affect the
U.S. dollar value of a security, the possibility of substantial price volatility as a result of political
12
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
and economic instability in the foreign country, less public information about issuers of
securities, different securities regulation, different accounting, auditing and financial reporting
standards and less liquidity than in the U.S. markets.
•
Interest rate risk, which is the chance that prices of fixed income securities decline because of
rising interest rates. Similarly, the income from fixed income securities may decline because of
falling interest rates.
• Credit risk, which is the chance that an issuer of a fixed income security will fail to pay interest
and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make
such payments will cause the price of that fixed income security to decline.
• Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) risk, which is the risk of an investment in an ETF, including
the possible loss of principal. ETFs typically trade on a securities exchange and the prices of
their shares fluctuate throughout the day based on supply and demand, which may not
correlate to their net asset values. Although ETF shares will be listed on an exchange, there
can be no guarantee that an active trading market will develop or continue. Owning an ETF
generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities it is designed to track. ETFs
are also subject to secondary market trading risks. In addition, an ETF may not replicate
exactly the performance of the index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including
transaction costs incurred by the ETF, the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the
secondary market, or discrepancies between the ETF and the index with respect to weighting
of securities or number of securities held.
• Management risk, which is the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied
by Regimen may not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax
developments affect the investment techniques available to Regimen. There is no guarantee that
a client’s investment objectives will be achieved.
• Real Estate risk, which is the risk that an investor’s investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts
(“REITs”) or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the investor to risks similar to
those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or
condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest
rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. An
investment in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject the investor to
management and tax risks.
•
Investment Companies (“Mutual Funds”) risk, when an investor invests in mutual funds, the
investor will bear additional expenses based on his/her pro rata share of the mutual fund’s
operating expenses, including the management fees. The risk of owning a mutual fund generally
reflects the risks of owning the underlying investments the mutual fund holds.
• Cybersecurity risk, which is the risk related to unauthorized access to the systems and networks
of Regimen and its service providers. The computer systems, networks and devices used by
Regimen and service providers to us and our clients to carry out routine business operations employ
a variety of protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network
failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and
security breaches. Despite the various protections utilized, systems, networks or devices
13
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
potentially can be breached. A client could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity
breach.
Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks or devices; infection
from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow
or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality.
Cybersecurity breaches cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in
financial losses to a client; impediments to trading; the inability by us and other service providers
to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties,
reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or other compliance costs; as
well as the inadvertent release of confidential information.
Similar adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity breaches affecting issues of
securities in which a client invests; governmental and other regulatory authorities; exchange and
other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions; and other
parties. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred by those entities in order to prevent any
cybersecurity breaches in the future.
• Alternative Investments / Private Funds risk, investing in alternative investments is speculative,
not suitable for all clients, and intended for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing
to bear the high economic risks of the investment, which can include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling or other
speculative investment practices;
lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market for the investment and none
expected to develop;
volatility of returns;
restrictions on transferring interests in the investment;
potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading
authority when a single adviser is utilized;
absence of information regarding valuations and pricing;
delays in tax reporting;
less regulation and higher fees than mutual funds;
risks associated with the operations, personnel, and processes of the manager of the funds
investing in alternative investments.
There also are risks surrounding various insurance products that are recommended to Regimen clients from
time to time. Such risks include but are not limited to loss of premiums. Prior to purchasing any insurance
product, clients should carefully read the policy and applicable disclosure documents.
Clients are advised that they should only commit assets for management that can be invested for the long
term, that volatility from investing can occur, and that all investing is subject to risk. Regimen does not
guarantee the future performance of a client’s portfolio, as investing in securities involves the risk of loss
that clients should be prepared to bear.
Past performance of a security or a fund is not necessarily indicative of future performance or risk of loss.

Use of External Managers
Regimen may select certain External Managers to manage a portion of its clients’ assets. In these
situations, the success of such recommendations relies to a great extent on the External Managers’ ability
to successfully implement their investment strategies. In addition, Regimen generally may not have the
ability to supervise the External Managers on a day-to-day basis.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary
events that would be material to a client’s evaluation of the adviser and the integrity of the adviser’s
management. Regimen has no information applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Recommendation of External Managers
Regimen may recommend that clients use External Managers based on clients’ needs and suitability.
Regimen does not receive separate compensation, directly or indirectly, from such External Managers for
recommending that clients use their services. Regimen does not have any other business relationships with
the recommended External Managers.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Regimen has a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) which requires Regimen’s employees (“supervised persons”)
to comply with their legal obligations and fulfill the fiduciary duties owed to the Firm’s clients. Among
other things, the Code of Ethics sets forth policies and procedures related to conflicts of interest, outside
business activities, gifts and entertainment, compliance with insider trading laws and policies and
procedures governing personal securities trading by supervised persons.
Personal securities transactions of supervised persons present potential conflicts of interest with the price
obtained in client securities transactions or the investment opportunity available to clients. The Code
addresses these potential conflicts by prohibiting securities trades that would breach a fiduciary duty to a
client and requiring, with certain exceptions, supervised persons to report their personal securities holdings
and transactions to Regimen for review by the Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer. The Code also requires
supervised persons to obtain pre-approval of certain investments, including initial public offerings and
limited offerings.
Regimen will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker-Dealers
Regimen generally recommends that its investment management clients utilize the custody and brokerage
services of an unaffiliated broker/dealer custodian (a “BD/Custodian”) with which Regimen has an
institutional relationship. Currently, this includes National Financial Services LLC and Fidelity Brokerage
15
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
Services LLC (together with affiliates, “Fidelity”), which is a “qualified custodian” as that term is described
in Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act.
The BD/Custodian provides custody of securities, trade execution, and clearance and settlement of
transactions placed on behalf of clients by Regimen. If your accounts are custodied at Fidelity, Fidelity will
hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. Clients will
pay fees to Fidelity for custody and the execution of securities transactions in their accounts.
In making BD/Custodian recommendations, Regimen will consider a number of judgmental factors,
including, without limitation: 1) clearance and settlement capabilities; 2) quality of confirmations and
account statements; 3) the ability of the BD/Custodian to settle the trade promptly and accurately; 4) the
financial standing, reputation and integrity of the BD/Custodian; 5) the BD/Custodian’s access to
markets, research capabilities, market knowledge, and any “value added” characteristics; 6) Regimen’s
past experience with the BD/Custodian; and 7) Regimen’s past experience with similar trades.
Recognizing the value of these factors, clients may pay a brokerage commission in excess of that which
another broker might have charged for effecting the same transaction.
In exchange for using the services of Fidelity, Regimen may receive, without cost, computer software and
related systems support that allows Regimen to monitor and service its clients’ accounts maintained with
Fidelity. Fidelity also makes available to the Firm products and services that benefit the Firm but may not
directly benefit the client or the client’s account. These products and services assist Regimen in managing
and administering client accounts. These may include investment research, either Fidelity’s own and that
of third parties. Regimen may use this research to service all or some substantial number of client accounts,
including accounts not maintained at Fidelity. In addition to investment research, Fidelity may also make
available software and other technology that:
• provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements);
facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts;
•
• provide pricing and other market data;
•
•
facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and
assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
Fidelity may also offer other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business
enterprise. These services include:
educational conferences and events;
technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting;
•
•
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
•
access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers.
Fidelity may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, Fidelity will arrange for third-party
vendors to provide the services to the Firm. Fidelity may also discount or waive its fees for some of these
services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Fidelity may also provide the Firm with other benefits
such as occasional business entertainment of Firm personnel.

Regimen Wealth

In addition, Regimen receives financial support from Fidelity up to capped dollar amount to be used toward
qualifying marketing, technology, consulting and/or research expenses incurred by Regimen in registering
and launching the operations of Regimen. This financial support is available to Regimen during the first 12
months from the start of Regimen clients having assets custodied at Fidelity, and the ultimate amount
payable by Fidelity is dependent upon the amount of Regimen client assets custodied at Fidelity.
Furthermore, Fidelity has agreed to reimburse account termination fees charged to Regimen clients by the
former custodian of the clients’ accounts up to a capped dollar amount. This reimbursement is available
during an initial 12-month period.
The benefits received by Regimen through its participation in the Fidelity custodial platform does not
depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to Fidelity. In addition, there is no corresponding
commitment made by Regimen to Fidelity to invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in
any specific mutual funds, securities or other investment products as a result of participation in the
programs. While as a fiduciary, we endeavor to act in our clients’ best interests, our recommendation that
clients maintain their assets in accounts at Fidelity will be based in part on the benefit to Regimen of the
availability of some of the foregoing products and services and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of
custody and brokerage services provided by Fidelity. The receipt of these benefits creates a potential conflict
of interest and may indirectly influence Regimen’s choice of Fidelity for custody and brokerage services.
Regimen will periodically review its arrangements with the BD/Custodians and other broker-dealers against
other possible arrangements in the marketplace as it strives to achieve best execution on behalf of its clients.
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, but not limited to, the following:
•
•
•
•
•
a broker-dealer’s trading expertise, including its ability to complete trades, execute and
settle difficult trades, obtain liquidity to minimize market impact and accommodate
unusual market conditions, maintain anonymity, and account for its trade errors and correct
them in a satisfactory manner;
a broker-dealer’s infrastructure, including order-entry systems, adequate lines of
communication, timely order execution reports, an efficient and accurate clearance and
settlement process, and capacity to accommodate unusual trading volume;
a broker-dealer’s ability to minimize total trading costs while maintaining its financial
health, such as whether a broker-dealer can maintain and commit adequate capital when
necessary to complete trades, respond during volatile market periods, and minimize the
number of incomplete trades;
a broker-dealer’s ability to provide research and execution services, including advice as to
the value or advisability of investing in or selling securities, analyses and reports
concerning such matters as companies, industries, economic trends and political factors, or
services incidental to executing securities trades, including clearance, settlement and
custody; and
a broker-dealer’s ability to provide services to accommodate special transaction needs,
such as the broker-dealer’s ability to execute and account for client-directed arrangements
17
Regimen Wealth

and soft dollar arrangements, participate in underwriting syndicates, and obtain initial
public offering shares.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Regimen does not select or recommend BD/Custodians based solely on whether or not it may receive client
referrals from a BD/Custodian or third party.
Client Directed Brokerage
Generally, in the absence of specific instructions to the contrary, for brokerage accounts that clients engage
Regimen to manage on a discretionary basis, Regimen has full discretion with respect to securities
transactions placed in the accounts. This discretion includes the authority, without prior notice to the client,
to buy and sell securities for the client’s account and establish and affect securities transactions through the
BD/Custodian of the client’s account or other broker-dealers selected by Regimen. In selecting a broker-
dealer to execute a client’s securities transactions, Regimen seeks prompt execution of orders at favorable
prices. Regimen does not accept instructions to custody a client account at a specific BD/Custodian other
than Fidelity, or for the historical client accounts referenced above Pershing, and/or direct some or all of
his/her brokerage transactions to a specific broker/dealer.
Trade Errors
Regimen’s goal is to execute trades seamlessly and in the best interests of the client. In the event a trade
error occurs, Regimen endeavors to identify the error in a timely manner, correct the error so that the client’s
account is in the position it would have been had the error not occurred, and, after evaluating the error,
assess what action(s) might be necessary to prevent a recurrence of similar errors in the future.
Trade errors generally are corrected through the use of a “trade error” account or similar account at Fidelity,
or if applicable another B/D Custodian. In all cases, Regimen will take the appropriate measures to return
the client’s account to its intended position.
B. Trade Aggregation
To the extent that the Firm determines to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of securities,
including securities in which the Firm’s supervised persons may invest, the Firm will generally do so in a
fair equitable manner in accordance with applicable rules promulgated under the Advisers Act and guidance
provided by the staff of the SEC and consistent with policies and procedures established by the Firm.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Periodic Reviews
Financial Planning Services Account Reviews – Financial Planning Clients
Upon completion of the initial analysis and recommendations, any ongoing reviews and the frequency of
those reviews are established, if provided for in the client agreement. The nature of client reviews is to
evaluate the client’s progress during the period based on the provided recommendations / action items.
Regimen will collaborate with the financial planning services client to update their financial information
18
Regimen Wealth
Disclosure Brochure
(i.e. insurance, investments, assets, income, and expenses) and craft any additional or revised
recommendations.
Investment Management Account Reviews
Client portfolios are monitored on an ongoing basis and reviewed periodically in seeking to ensure
continued alignment with client objectives, risk tolerance, and financial circumstances. The Firm may
recommend portfolio rebalancing or other adjustments due to economic, market or security considerations,
changes in client goals, cash flows, tax considerations, or other material life events. Such adjustments are
intended to maintain appropriate risk exposure and alignment with the client’s overall strategy rather than
to respond to short-term market fluctuations.
Generally, Regimen’s investment adviser representatives seek to have at least one annual meeting with
clients to conduct a review of clients’ accounts. Accounts are reviewed for consistency with the investment
strategy and other parameters set forth for the account and to determine if any adjustments need to be made.
For certain clients, depending upon such factors as client account size or agreed upon service levels,
Regimen will provide written materials to the client including current portfolio information and the client
financial and related information provided. The client is instructed to review such materials and to contact
Regimen if there are any required changes or additions to the materials or if the client requests an in-person
meeting with a Regimen financial professional.
B. Other Reviews and Triggering Factors
In addition to the periodic reviews described above, reviews may be triggered by changes in an account
holder’s personal, tax, or financial status. Other events that may trigger a review of an account are material
changes in market conditions as well as macroeconomic and company-specific events. Clients are
encouraged to notify Regimen of any changes in his/her personal financial situation that might affect his/her
investment needs, objectives, or time horizon.
C. Regular Reports
Written brokerage statements are generated no less than quarterly and are sent directly from the qualified
custodian. These reports list the account positions, activity in the account over the covered period, and other
related information. Additionally, clients are sent confirmations following each brokerage account
transaction unless confirmations have been waived.
Regimen may also determine to provide account statements and other reporting to clients on a periodic
basis. Clients are urged to carefully review all custodial account statements and compare them to any
statements and reports provided by Regimen. Regimen statements and reports may vary from custodial
statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain
securities.

Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties for Advice Rendered to Clients
Regimen does not receive benefits from third parties for providing investment advice to clients.
B. Compensation to Non-Supervised Persons for Client Referrals
Regimen does not enter into agreements with individuals or organizations for the referral of clients.
Item 15 – Custody
All clients must utilize a “qualified custodian” as detailed in Item 12. Clients are required to engage the
custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct Regimen to utilize the custodian for the client’s
securities transactions. Regimen’s agreement with clients and/or the clients’ separate agreements with the
B/D Custodian may authorize Regimen through such BD/Custodian to debit the clients’ accounts for the
amount of Regimen’s fee and to directly remit that fee to Regimen in accordance with applicable custody
rules.
The BD/Custodian recommended by Regimen has agreed to send a statement to the client, at least quarterly,
indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the amount of management fees paid directly
to Regimen. Regimen encourages clients to review the official statements provided by the custodian, and
to compare such statements with any reports or other statements received from Regimen. For more
information about custodians and brokerage practices, see “Item 12 - Brokerage Practices.”
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Clients have the option of providing Regimen with investment discretion on their behalf, pursuant to a grant
of a limited power of attorney contained in Regimen’s client agreement. By granting Regimen investment
discretion, a client authorizes Regimen to direct securities transactions and determine which securities are
bought and sold, the total amount to be bought and sold, and the costs at which the transactions will be
effected. Clients may impose reasonable limitations in the form of specific constraints on any of these areas
of discretion with the consent and written acknowledgement of Regimen if Regimen determines, in its sole
discretion, that the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management strategy or
prove overly burdensome for Regimen. See also Item 4(C), Client-Tailored Advisory Services.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Regimen does not accept authority to and does not vote proxies on behalf of clients. Clients retain the
responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for all and any securities maintained in client portfolios.

Item 18 – Financial Information
Regimen is not required to disclose any financial information pursuant to this item due to the
following:
a) Regimen does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six months or
more in advance of rendering services;
b) Regimen is unaware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability
to meet its contractual commitments relating to its discretionary authority over certain client
accounts; and
c) Regimen has never been the subject of a bankruptcy petition.
