Item 4 – Advisory Business
4.1 Firm Overview
The Firm is an investment adviser registered with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Firm’s principal office is located in Laguna Beach,
California and it has been providing wealth management and investment advisory services
since 2008.
The Firm is wholly owned by Sagent Capital, LLC.
Registration with the SEC does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
4.2 Wealth Management Services
The Firm provides ongoing Wealth Management Services designed to help clients
organize, manage, and preserve their financial lives. Rather than focusing exclusively on
investment management, the Firm integrates financial planning, investment management,
and ongoing wealth management advice into a long-term advisory relationship tailored to
each client’s unique circumstances and objectives.
Depending upon a client’s needs, Wealth Management Services may include:
Investment management;
•
• Financial planning;
• Retirement planning;
• Estate planning coordination;
• Cash flow analysis;
• Education planning;
•
Insurance planning;
• Coordination with clients’ tax and legal advisers; and
• Other financial consulting services appropriate to the client’s circumstances.
The specific services provided to each client are determined by the client’s financial
circumstances, objectives, and the terms of the applicable advisory agreement.
The Firm's Wealth Management Services may be provided with respect to investment
accounts maintained with the Firm's recommended custodians, insurance companies,
and other financial institutions. In certain circumstances, the Firm may utilize third-party
technology platforms, such as Pontera, to facilitate the monitoring and management of
certain client investment accounts maintained outside of the Firm's primary custodial
relationships.
4.3 Complimentary Financial Checkup
The Firm’s advisory relationship typically begins with a Complimentary Financial Checkup
(“FC”), which serves as the foundation of the Firm’s wealth management process.
The purpose of the FC is to develop a comprehensive understanding of a prospective
client’s financial circumstances, goals, concerns, and planning opportunities before
investment recommendations are made.
Depending upon the prospective client’s circumstances, the FC may include an evaluation
of:
Income and cash flow;
Insurance needs;
• Assets and liabilities;
•
Investment holdings;
• Retirement planning;
•
•
• Estate planning considerations;
• Education funding;
• Risk tolerance; and
• Other financial matters relevant to the prospective client’s objectives.
The FC is intended to help prospective clients better understand their financial situation
while assisting both the prospective client and the Firm in determining whether an ongoing
advisory relationship would be appropriate.
For clients who engage the Firm, the FC becomes an ongoing Wealth Management
resource that is reviewed and updated as appropriate throughout the advisory relationship.
The Firm generally offers a Complimentary Financial Checkup to prospective clients whom
the Firm believes may benefit from its advisory services.
4.4 Investment Management
Investment management is provided as part of the Firm’s Wealth Management Services.
Based upon the information obtained during the client onboarding process, the Firm
develops investment recommendations designed to be consistent with each client’s
financial objectives, investment time horizon, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax
considerations, and other relevant factors.
Client portfolios may be managed on either a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, as
authorized by the client and described in the applicable advisory agreement.
The Firm utilizes a variety of investment approaches, including proprietary model
portfolios, customized portfolios, individual securities, and, when appropriate,
independent third-party investment managers. The Firm may modify its investment
strategies, model portfolios, or investment processes in response to changes in market
conditions, investment opportunities, or client needs.
4.5 Ongoing Wealth Management
Wealth Management is an ongoing process rather than a one-time engagement.
The Firm seeks to maintain long-term advisory relationships through periodic portfolio
reviews, financial planning discussions, and ongoing communication.
Clients are invited to participate in periodic review meetings, typically once or twice each
year, although additional meetings may be held whenever circumstances warrant or at the
client’s request.
Review discussions may include investment performance, portfolio allocation, progress
toward financial goals, changes in financial circumstances, retirement planning, estate
planning considerations, economic conditions, and other matters relevant to the client’s
overall financial well-being.
4.6 Assets Under Management
As of June 30, 2026, the Firm managed approximately $104,765,363 in regulatory assets
under management, consisting of approximately $103,034,838 managed on a
discretionary basis and $7,730,424 managed on a non-discretionary basis.
These amounts are updated annually in accordance with SEC requirements.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
5.1 Wealth Management Fee
The Firm is compensated through a fee for providing ongoing Wealth Management
Services. Wealth Management Services include investment management, ongoing
financial planning, periodic client reviews, and other advisory services provided under the
terms of the client’s advisory agreement.
The Firm’s annual advisory fee is generally based upon a percentage of the market value of
the assets under management in accordance with the following schedule:
Assets Under Management Annual Fee
$0 – $499,999
1.50%
$500,000 – $999,999
1.25%
$1,000,000 – $2,999,999
0.90%
$3,000,000 and above
0.65%
The specific fee applicable to each client is set forth in the client’s advisory agreement.
The Firm bills advisory fees quarterly in advance based upon the market value of the assets
under management as of the last business day of the preceding calendar quarter. Initial
fees are prorated based upon the date advisory services begin.
The Firm may negotiate advisory fees based upon factors such as the nature of the
advisory relationship, anticipated assets under management, related accounts,
complexity of the client’s circumstances, or other relevant considerations. Accordingly,
similarly situated clients may pay different advisory fees.
5.2 Billing Authorization
Clients generally authorize the Firm to deduct advisory fees directly from their custodial
accounts. The client’s qualified custodian reflects advisory fee deductions on the account
statements provided to the client.
Clients may revoke fee deduction authority upon written notice to the Firm. Alternative
billing arrangements may be available upon mutual agreement.
5.3 Other Fees and Expenses
The Firm’s advisory fee is separate from the fees and expenses charged by third parties.
Depending upon the investments selected and the services utilized, clients may incur
additional costs, including:
Independent third-party manager fees;
• Custodial fees;
• Brokerage or transaction costs;
• Mutual fund or exchange-traded fund operating expenses;
•
• Fees associated with annuities or other investment products;
• Wire transfer or electronic fund transfer fees;
• Taxes; and
• Other fees imposed by unaffiliated third parties.
Clients are encouraged to review applicable prospectuses, offering documents, and
custodial disclosures for additional information regarding these expenses.
5.4 Fee Refunds
If an advisory relationship terminates before the end of a billing period, the Firm will
calculate any refund of prepaid advisory fees in accordance with the terms of the client’s
advisory agreement.
5.5 Conflicts Related to Fees
Because the Firm’s compensation is generally based upon assets under management, the
Firm has a financial incentive to encourage clients to increase the assets managed by the
Firm. This creates a conflict of interest.
The Firm seeks to manage this conflict by acting as a fiduciary, disclosing material
conflicts of interest, and maintaining policies and procedures reasonably designed to
place clients’ interests ahead of the Firm’s own interests.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side
Management
A performance-based fee is a fee based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation
of a client’s assets.
The Firm does not charge performance-based fees. The Firm’s compensation is based
solely on the advisory fees described in Item 5 and is not dependent upon the investment
performance of client accounts.
Because the Firm does not charge performance-based fees, it does not engage in side-by-
side management involving both performance fee accounts and asset-based fee
accounts.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
The Firm offers Wealth Management Services to a variety of clients, including:
Individuals;
•
• Families;
• Trusts;
• Retirement plans;
• Businesses;
• Non-profit organizations;
• Family offices; and
• Other entities for whom the Firm’s services are appropriate.
The Firm generally determines whether a prospective client is an appropriate fit based
upon the client’s circumstances, financial planning needs, investment objectives, and the
Firm’s ability to provide meaningful value through its Wealth Management Services.
The Firm does not impose a general minimum account size or minimum asset
requirement. The Firm reserves the right to accept or decline prospective clients based
upon the nature of the requested services and other relevant considerations.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and
Risk of Loss
8.1 Investment Philosophy
The Firm believes that successful investing begins with a disciplined investment process
and a thorough understanding of each client’s financial circumstances, objectives, time
horizon, liquidity needs, and tolerance for risk.
The Firm’s investment process consists of two distinct but complementary functions.
First, the Firm evaluates investment opportunities and develops investment strategies
through its portfolio management process. Second, the Firm works with each client to
determine which investment strategy is most appropriate based upon the client’s financial
circumstances and objectives as identified through the Firm’s Wealth Management
process.
8.2 Methods of Analysis
In providing portfolio management services, the Firm utilizes various analytical methods to
evaluate investment opportunities, construct portfolios, select investments, evaluate
third-party investment managers, and make ongoing investment decisions. Depending
upon market conditions and the investment under consideration, the Firm may rely on the
following analytical methods.
8.3 Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis evaluates economic, financial, and other qualitative and
quantitative factors that may affect the value of an investment. The Firm considers factors
such as economic conditions, interest rates, corporate earnings, financial strength,
valuation, competitive position, and industry trends when evaluating investment
opportunities.
8.4 Technical Analysis
Technical analysis evaluates market activity, including price movements, trading volume,
and market trends, to assist in assessing investor sentiment and identifying potential
changes in market direction. The Firm may use technical analysis as a component of its
overall investment decision-making process.
8.5 Charting
Charting involves the graphical analysis of historical market data, including price and
trading volume, to assist in identifying trends, support and resistance levels, and other
technical characteristics of securities or markets. Charting is used as a supplemental
analytical tool and is not relied upon in isolation.
8.6 Cyclical Analysis
Cyclical analysis considers recurring economic and market cycles and their potential
impact on asset classes, industry sectors, and individual investments. The Firm may
consider economic, interest rate, business, and market cycles when making portfolio
management decisions.
8.7 Quantitative Analysis
Quantitative analysis utilizes measurable financial and statistical data to evaluate
investments and portfolios. Factors considered may include historical performance,
volatility, valuation metrics, correlations, portfolio diversification, and other objective
measures relevant to investment decision-making.
8.8 Qualitative Analysis
Qualitative analysis evaluates factors that may not be readily quantified, including
management quality, competitive advantages, corporate governance, regulatory
developments, and broader economic or industry considerations that may influence
investment performance.
No single analytical method is used exclusively, nor does any analytical method guarantee
investment success or eliminate the risk of loss. Investment decisions are based upon the
Firm’s professional judgment after considering those factors it believes are most relevant
under the circumstances.
8.9 Portfolio Management and Investment Strategies
The Firm employs the analytical methods described above to develop and maintain
investment strategies designed to address a range of investment objectives and risk
tolerances.
Depending upon a client’s circumstances, investment strategies may be implemented
using one or more of the following approaches:
• Proprietary Total Return model portfolios;
• Customized investment portfolios;
•
•
Individual securities;
Independent third-party investment managers; or
• A combination of these approaches.
The selection of an investment strategy is based upon the client’s financial circumstances,
investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax considerations, and other factors
identified through the Firm’s Wealth Management process.
The Firm generally emphasizes diversified, long-term investing and may periodically modify
portfolios or investment strategies in response to changes in market conditions, economic
outlook, investment opportunities, or changes in a client’s financial circumstances or
objectives.
8.10 Risk of Loss
All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.
Investment values may fluctuate due to changes in market conditions, economic events,
interest rates, inflation, company-specific developments, geopolitical events, and other
factors beyond the Firm’s control.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. No investment strategy, analytical
method, or portfolio management approach can guarantee investment success or prevent
investment losses. Clients should carefully consider their financial circumstances and
tolerance for risk before investing.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding certain
legal or disciplinary events that would be material to a client’s evaluation of the Firm or the
integrity of its management.
On September 22, 2017, Sagent Wealth Management, LLC and its Managing Member,
Marshall G. Eichenauer, Jr., entered into a settlement with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to alleged violations of the Investment Advisers Act of
1940.
Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, the Firm and Mr. Eichenauer consented to
the entry of the SEC’s order resolving the matter.
A copy of the SEC’s Order is available upon request.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and
Affiliations
Other Financial Industry Activities
Marshall G. Eichenauer, Jr., President and Chief Investment Officer of Sagent Wealth
Management, is licensed as a California insurance producer and a California real estate
broker. These activities are conducted separately from the Firm’s investment advisory
business.
10.1 Insurance Activities
From time to time, clients may request that Mr. Eichenauer assist them in evaluating or
purchasing insurance products.
If a client elects to purchase an insurance product through Mr. Eichenauer, he may receive
commissions or other compensation from the insurance company issuing the policy. This
compensation is separate from the advisory fees paid to the Firm.
This creates a conflict of interest because Mr. Eichenauer has a financial incentive to
recommend insurance products for which he may receive additional compensation.
Clients are under no obligation to purchase insurance products through Mr. Eichenauer
and are free to obtain insurance products from any insurance professional of their
choosing.
10.2 Real Estate Activities
Mr. Eichenauer is also licensed as a California real estate broker.
Although real estate brokerage services are not part of the Firm’s Wealth Management
Services, clients may occasionally request assistance with a real estate transaction.
If a client elects to engage Mr. Eichenauer in connection with a real estate transaction, he
may receive commissions or other compensation. This compensation is separate from the
advisory fees paid to the Firm.
This creates a conflict of interest because Mr. Eichenauer has a financial incentive to
recommend his own real estate brokerage services. Clients are under no obligation to
engage Mr. Eichenauer in connection with a real estate transaction and are free to use any
real estate professional of their choosing.
10.3 Management of Conflicts of Interest
The Firm recognizes that these outside financial activities present potential conflicts of
interest. The Firm seeks to manage these conflicts by acting in a fiduciary capacity,
providing full and fair disclosure of material conflicts of interest, and recommending
products or services only when the Firm believes they are in the client’s best interest.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
The Firm has adopted a Code of Ethics designed to support the Firm’s fiduciary duty to
place clients’ interests first, promote honest and ethical conduct, and ensure compliance
with applicable federal securities laws.
The Code of Ethics establishes standards of business conduct for the Firm and its
personnel and addresses matters including:
• Fiduciary responsibilities;
• Conflicts of interest;
• Protection of confidential client information;
• Personal securities transactions;
• Outside business activities;
• Gifts and entertainment; and
• Compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
The Firm permits its personnel to invest in securities that may also be recommended to or
purchased for clients, subject to the requirements of the Firm’s Code of Ethics.
Because employees may own or acquire the same securities as clients, potential conflicts
of interest may arise. The Firm’s Code of Ethics and related compliance policies are
designed to help ensure that employee trading does not disadvantage clients, that material
nonpublic information is not misused, and that client interests remain paramount.
The Firm’s Code of Ethics also establishes policies designed to:
Identify and manage conflicts of interest;
• Place client interests ahead of employee interests;
•
• Protect confidential client information;
• Promote fair and equitable treatment of all clients; and
• Encourage compliance with applicable securities laws and ethical standards.
A copy of the Firm’s Code of Ethics is available to any client or prospective client upon
request.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
12.1 Custodial Relationships
The Firm recommends that advisory accounts be maintained with custodians approved by
the Firm. The Firm recommends Altruist Financial, LLC and National Financial Services
LLC (“NFS”), a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, as the primary custodians through which
the Firm offers its Wealth Management Services.
Clients establish custodial accounts with custodians made available by the Firm and enter
into a separate custodial agreement governing the custodial relationship.
The Firm periodically evaluates its custodial relationships to determine whether they
continue to meet the needs of the Firm and its clients.
The Firm may utilize third-party technology platforms, such as Pontera, to facilitate the
monitoring and management of certain client investment accounts maintained outside of
the Firm's primary custodial relationships. The Firm pays the fees associated with these
platforms from its own revenues and does not receive compensation from the platform
provider in connection with their use.
12.2 Best Execution
The Firm has a fiduciary duty to seek best execution when placing transactions on behalf of
clients.
The Firm’s ability to seek best execution is necessarily influenced by the custodial
relationships available to the Firm and its clients. The Firm recommends custodians that it
believes are capable of providing high-quality custodial and brokerage services and
evaluates execution quality within those custodial relationships. The Firm does not
represent that it has access to every custodian or brokerage platform available in the
marketplace.
The Firm’s selection of custodial relationships is based upon numerous business,
operational, regulatory, and service-related considerations, including whether a custodian
is willing and able to provide custodial services to the Firm and its clients.
In evaluating execution quality, the Firm considers a variety of factors, including
transaction costs, execution capability, financial responsibility, responsiveness,
operational efficiency, and the overall quality of the custodial and brokerage services
provided.
The Firm recognizes that the lowest available commission or transaction cost does not
necessarily result in best execution.
12.3 Brokerage Benefits
Custodians may make available products and services that assist the Firm in managing
client accounts and operating its advisory business. These products and services may
include trading platforms, account access, research, technology, educational materials,
practice management resources, and other administrative support.
The availability of these services presents a conflict of interest because the Firm has an
incentive to recommend custodians that provide such benefits.
The Firm seeks to manage this conflict by recommending custodians based upon the
overall quality of the custodial and brokerage services provided to clients and not solely
upon the availability of brokerage benefits.
The Firm does not participate in soft-dollar arrangements.
12.4 Trade Aggregation
When consistent with its duty to seek best execution and the equitable treatment of
clients, the Firm may aggregate orders for multiple client accounts.
Aggregated transactions may enable participating accounts to receive more favorable
execution and, in some circumstances, lower transaction costs.
Participating accounts generally receive the average execution price for the aggregated
transaction. Certain accounts, including customized portfolios, accounts managed by
independent third-party investment managers, or accounts subject to client-imposed
investment restrictions, may not participate in aggregated transactions.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
13.1 Ongoing Reviews
As part of its Wealth Management Services, the Firm periodically reviews client accounts
and financial circumstances to determine whether investment strategies and financial
planning recommendations continue to be appropriate.
Reviews may include consideration of:
Investment objectives;
•
• Risk tolerance;
• Asset allocation;
• Portfolio performance;
• Changes in financial circumstances;
• Retirement planning;
• Estate planning considerations;
• Cash flow needs;
• Tax considerations; and
• Other matters relevant to the client’s financial objectives.
The scope and frequency of reviews vary depending upon the client’s circumstances, the
nature of the advisory relationship, changes in market conditions, and other relevant
factors.
Although clients are generally invited to participate in review meetings once or twice each
year, additional reviews may be conducted whenever the Firm or the client believes they
are appropriate.
13.2 Review Responsibility
Marshall G. Eichenauer, Jr., President and Chief Investment Officer, is responsible for
overseeing the review process and may delegate certain review activities to other qualified
advisory personnel. The Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer provides oversight of the Firm’s
compliance policies and procedures but is not responsible for making investment
recommendations solely by virtue of serving in that role.
13.3 Client Reports
Clients receive account statements directly from their qualified custodian, generally on a
monthly or quarterly basis depending upon account activity and the custodian’s reporting
practices.
The Firm also provides portfolio reports, performance reports, financial planning
information, or other reports as the Firm believes are appropriate to assist clients in
monitoring their advisory relationship.
Clients are encouraged to carefully review all custodial statements and compare them to
any reports received from the Firm. In the event of any discrepancy, clients should rely
upon the information contained in the custodial statement and promptly notify the Firm.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
14.1 Client Referrals
The Firm does not compensate third parties for client referrals and does not participate in
solicitor or promoter arrangements.
From time to time, the Firm may receive referrals from existing clients, professional
advisers, or other individuals who recommend the Firm based upon their personal
experience or professional relationship with the Firm. The Firm does not provide
compensation for these referrals.
Should the Firm enter into a compensated referral arrangement in the future, the Firm will
comply with all applicable federal securities laws, including providing any disclosures
required by the SEC’s Marketing Rule.
14.2 Other Compensation
Except as disclosed in Item 10 regarding Mr. Eichenauer’s insurance and real estate
activities, the Firm does not receive compensation from non-clients in connection with
providing Wealth Management Services.
The Firm may receive non-cash products and services from custodians as described in
Item 12. These arrangements do not alter the advisory fees paid by clients.
Item 15 – Custody
Except for custody arising solely from the Firm's authority to deduct advisory fees
directly from client accounts, the Firm does not take custody of client funds or securities.
Client assets are maintained by qualified custodians selected by the client from those
made available by the Firm. Clients receive account statements directly from their
qualified custodian, generally on a monthly or quarterly basis depending upon account
activity and the custodian's reporting practices.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Clients may authorize the Firm to manage their accounts on either a discretionary or non-
discretionary basis.
When discretionary authority is granted, the Firm is authorized to purchase and sell
securities and determine the amount and timing of transactions without obtaining the
client’s prior approval for each transaction. Discretionary authority is granted through the
client’s advisory agreement and may be limited by written investment restrictions agreed
upon by the Firm.
For non-discretionary accounts, the Firm provides investment recommendations, but the
client is responsible for approving each transaction before it is executed.
Clients may modify or revoke discretionary authority at any time by providing written notice
to the Firm, subject to the terms of the advisory agreement.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
The Firm does not accept authority to vote proxies on behalf of clients.
Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies relating to securities held in
their accounts.
Upon request, the Firm may provide clients with information or analysis regarding a
particular proxy matter; however, the Firm is under no obligation to provide such advice
and assumes no responsibility for monitoring proxy materials or corporate actions.
Clients should direct questions regarding proxy materials to their qualified custodian or
contact the Firm if they have questions concerning a particular proxy matter.

purchasing insurance products or in connection with a real estate transaction.

commissions or other compensation. This compensation is separate from the advisory
