Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
River Crescent Advisors, LLC (“RCA” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia. RCA was founded in November 2024 and is owned and operated by Roy A. Runyon
(President and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications,
business practices, and the advisory services provided by RCA.
B. Advisory Services Offered
RCA offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, businesses, and
retirement plans (each referred to as a “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. RCA'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.
Wealth Management Services
RCA provides customized wealth management services for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal
Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management services and a broad range of
comprehensive financial planning. These services are listed below.
Investment Management Services – RCA provides discretionary investment management services. RCA works
closely with each Client to identify their investment goals, objectives, risk tolerance and financial situation in order to
create an overall portfolio strategy. RCA will then construct a model portfolio to achieve the Client’s investment goals.
The model portfolios primarily consist of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and
option contracts. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from a Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the
overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
RCA’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. RCA 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.
RCA evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence
process. RCA may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. RCA 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.
RCA 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.
At no time will RCA 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 – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts
or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws
River Crescent Advisors, LLC
800 W Riverview Drive, Suffolk, VA 23434
Phone: (757) 651-9305 | Website: www.rivercrescentadvisors.com
Page 4
governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment
advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or
recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another
IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a
recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a
result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by
the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services – RCA will provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients as
part of its wealth management services. RCA also provides standalone financial planning services as per the terms
of the financial planning agreement. Financial planning services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial
situation, depending on their goals and objectives. 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. RCA may also refer Clients to an
accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase
the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made
by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the
Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging RCA 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 – RCA, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks
to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – RCA 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 – RCA will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals
and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – RCA will provide investment management and ongoing oversight
of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
RCA includes securities transaction costs and other securities transaction service fees (herein “Covered Costs)
together with its wealth management fees. Including these fees into a single asset-based fee is considered a “Wrap
Fee Program”. The Advisor customizes its wealth management services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the
RCA 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.

E. Assets Under Management
As of June 29, 2025, RCA manages $122,675,074 in Client assets, all of which are managed on a discretionary
basis. Clients may request more 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 a written
agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly in advance 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 quarter.
Wealth management fees range up to 1.50% annually based on several factors, including: the scope and complexity of
the services to be provided; the level of assets to be managed; and the overall relationship with the Advisor.
Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may
be charged a higher fee.
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. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
RCA will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s
valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee includes securities transaction costs, custody fees, and other related costs and expenses described
in Item 5.C below. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
RCA offers financial planning services as part of its wealth management fees. RCA also offers standalone financial
planning services at an hourly rate of $300 or fixed engagement fee ranging up to $2,000. 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 hours and overall costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor 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 RCA at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided
with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the wealth management 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 RCA 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.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees for standalone services may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon
execution of the financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon
deliverable[s]. Standalone financial planning fees are paid via check.
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]. RCA includes Covered Costs as part of its overall wealth management fee through the RCA
River Crescent Advisors, LLC

Phone: (757) 651-9305 | Website: www.rivercrescentadvisors.com
Page 6
Wrap Fee Program. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may be charged back to the Client. The
Client will be responsible for certain costs through the custodian including margin interest, cashiering fees (ie.
Electronic funds and wire transfer fees), custody fees for non-publicly traded securities, and administrative fees (ie.
Transfer taxes, odd-lot differentials, certificate delivery fees, reorganization fees). Please see Item 4.D. above as well
as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
In addition, all fees paid to RCA 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 RCA, but would not receive the
services provided by RCA 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 RCA 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
Wealth Management Services
RCA is compensated for its wealth management services in advance of the quarter in which services are rendered.
Either party may terminate the investment advisory 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 charges for bona fide
advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon
termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid wealth management fees from the effective date of
termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable
without the Client’s prior consent.
Financial Planning Services
RCA requires an advance deposit as described above for its standalone financial planning services. Either party may
terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The
Client may also terminate the financial planning 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 charges for bona fide advisory services
rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client
shall be billed for actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate or in the case of a fixed
fee engagement, the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. The Advisor will refund any
unearned, prepaid planning fees from the effective date of termination. The Client’s financial planning agreement with
the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
RCA 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 wealth management fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
RCA does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by RCA are as
described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any
Client.
RCA 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
RCA offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, businesses, and
retirement plans. RCA generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
RCA primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research
and analysis from RCA 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.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria consists
generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed.
Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with a value
discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps 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 the
fundamental 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.
As noted above, RCA generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. RCA 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 Clients. At times, RCA 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. RCA 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.
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:

800 W Riverview Drive, Suffolk, VA 23434
Phone: (757) 651-9305 | Website: www.rivercrescentadvisors.com
Page 8
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 Risks
Bonds 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.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts are
leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock. This
leverage can compound gains or losses.
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 RCA or Mr. Runyon. RCA 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#
334629.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The sole business of RCA and Mr. Runyon is to provide investment advisory services to its Clients. Neither RCA nor
its Advisory Persons are involved in other business endeavors. RCA does not maintain any affiliations with other
firms, other than contracted service providers to assist with the servicing of its Client’s accounts.

Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
RCA 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 RCA (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide
general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each Client. RCA and its
Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of RCA’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 (757) 651-9305.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
RCA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased
on behalf of Clients. RCA 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. RCA does not have a material interest in any securities
traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
RCA 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 RCA requiring
reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)
or delegate. 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 RCA 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 RCA, or any Supervised Person of RCA, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
RCA 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
RCA to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, RCA does not
have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where RCA 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 RCA. However,
the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. RCA 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.
RCA 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”. RCA
maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Schwab.

Trade-Away Arrangements – RCA may obtain limited one-time ability to execute trades through other broker-
dealers when placing securities transactions on behalf of Clients with assets custodied at Schwab. In such instances
where RCA trades away from Schwab, the account will often incur a trade-away fee from Schwab for each transaction
that is executed on a trade-away basis. The fee is separate from the commission/transaction fee or mark-up/mark-
down imposed by the broker-dealer through which the trade was executed.
Trading away may be advantageous for the Client because: the broker-dealer may have expertise in a particular
security or market; the broker-dealer makes a market in a particular security; a particular security is thinly traded; or
the broker-dealer can identify a counter-party for a trade. A Client may pay higher net execution costs than would
have paid if the transaction were placed through the Custodian holding his or her assets. RCA will periodically review
its arrangements with the Custodian against other possible arrangements in the marketplace as it strives to achieve
best execution on behalf of its Clients.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. 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. RCA 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.
2. Brokerage Referrals - RCA does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the
recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where RCA will place trades within
the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within
their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from
or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one
Client account from another Client’s account[s]). RCA will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities
transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are
determined by the Custodian.
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. RCA will execute its transactions through the Custodian as
authorized by the Client. RCA 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 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 Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by the Chief Compliance Officer of
RCA. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs 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 RCA if changes occur in the Client’s personal
River Crescent Advisors, LLC

Phone: (757) 651-9305 | Website: www.rivercrescentadvisors.com
Page 11
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 RCA
RCA is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment product. RCA
does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any un-related third
party. RCA 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, RCA may receive
non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
RCA has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division
of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like RCA. As a registered investment advisor participating
on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, RCA 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 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 RCA 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. RCA believes, however, that the
selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
River Crescent Advisors, LLC
800 W Riverview Drive, Suffolk, VA 23434
Phone: (757) 651-9305 | Website: www.rivercrescentadvisors.com
Page 12
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client
referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
RCA 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 RCA 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 RCA 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.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
RCA 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. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to
specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by RCA.
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 RCA will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and
goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
RCA 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.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither RCA, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of
RCA to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither RCA, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a
bankruptcy or financial compromise. RCA 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.

Item 4 – Services Fees and Compensation
A. Services
RCA provides customized investment advisory services for its Clients. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided
as a supplement to the RCA 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
RCA as your investment advisor.
As part of the wealth management fees noted in Item 5 of the Disclosure Brochure, RCA includes securities
transaction costs and other securities transaction service fees (herein “Covered Costs”) as part of the overall wealth
management 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 certain mutual funds and other types of investments. The
Advisor sponsors the RCA 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 RCA 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 RCA’s investment philosophy and related
services.
B. Program Costs
Advisory services provided by RCA are offered in a wrap fee structure whereby Covered Costs are included in the
overall wealth management fee paid to RCA. As the level of trading 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.
C. Fees
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly in advance 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 quarter.
Wealth management fees range up to 1.50% annually based on several factors, including: the scope and complexity of
the services to be provided; the level of assets to be managed; and the overall relationship with the Advisor.
Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may
be charged a higher fee.
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. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
RCA will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s
valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor includes securities transaction costs and other securities transaction service fees (herein “Covered
Costs) together with its wealth management fees. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these
commissions, fees, and costs.

Phone: (757) 651-9305 | Website: www.rivercrescentadvisors.com
Page 16
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor 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 RCA at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided
with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the wealth management 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 RCA 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.
As noted above, the Wrap Fee Program includes Covered Costs incurred in connection with the discretionary wealth
management services provided by RCA, as part of its overall wealth management fee.
In addition, all fees paid to RCA for wealth management 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 wealth management services provided by RCA, the
Client will incur other costs assessed by the Custodian or other third parties, other than the Covered Costs noted
above, such as margin interest, cashiering fees (ie. Electronic funds and wire transfer fees), custody fees for non-
publicly traded securities, and administrative fees (ie. Transfer taxes, odd-lot differentials, certificate delivery fees,
reorganization 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 RCA 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).
D. Compensation
RCA is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program. RCA receives wealth management fees paid
by Clients for participating in the Wrap Fee Program and pays the Covered Costs associated with the management
of the Client’s account[s].
Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients
RCA offers wealth management services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, businesses, and
retirement plans. RCA generally does not impose a minimum relationship size. Please see Item 7 – Types of Clients
in the Disclosure Brochure for additional information.
Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
Portfolio Manager Selection
RCA serves as sponsor and as portfolio manager for the services under this Wrap Fee Program.
Related Persons
RCA personnel serve as portfolio managers for this Wrap Fee Program. RCA does not serve as a portfolio manager
for any third-party Wrap Fee Programs.
Performance-Based Fees
RCA does not charge performance-based fees for its wealth management services. The fees charged by RCA are
as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any
Client.
RCA 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.

Supervised Persons
RCA Advisory Persons serve as portfolio managers for all accounts, including the services described in this Wrap
Fee Program Brochure. Details of the advisory services provided are included in Item 4.A. of the Disclosure Brochure.
Methods of Analysis
Please see Item 8 of the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for details on the
research and analysis methods employed by the Advisor.
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. RCA 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.
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 Risks
Bonds 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 18
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.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts are
leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock. This
leverage can compound gains or losses.
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
RCA 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.
Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
RCA 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
RCA Privacy Policy (included after this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
RCA is a full-service investment management advisory firm. Clients always have direct access to the Portfolio
Managers at RCA.
Item 9 – Additional Information
A. Disciplinary Information and Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations

place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service

Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD#

Ethics applies to all persons subject to RCA’s compliance program (our “Supervised Persons”). Complete details on

Personal Trading in the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).

Investments in
Review of Accounts
Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of RCA under the supervision
of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). Details of the review policies and practices are provided in Item 13 of the
Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure.
Other Compensation
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform - RCA has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through
its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like RCA.
As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, RCA 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 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 RCA 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. RCA believes, however, that the
selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
Please se
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 RCA 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.
Client Referrals from Solicitors
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client
referrals.
Financial Information
Neither RCA, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of
RCA to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither RCA, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a
bankruptcy or financial compromise. RCA 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.

plan development capstone course. A candidate may satisfy some of the coursework requirement through
other qualifying credentials. CFP Board implemented the bachelor’s degree or higher requirement in 2007
