SAXWA uses investment and portfolio allocation software to evaluate alternative portfolio designs. objective and tax consequences, among other considerations. SAXWA will then continuously monitor the asset allocation strategy and hold regular review meetings with the client regarding the account as necessary. SAXWA will typically create a portfolio of no-load mutual funds or ETFs and may use model portfolios if 1 the models match the client's investment policy. SAXWA will allocate the client's assets among various investments taking into SAXWA primarily recommends portfolios consisting of passively managed asset class and index mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and, where appropriate, individual fixed income securities.

In certain circumstances, SAXWA will recommend including stock options and/or alternative investments in a client portfolio. In addition, when appropriate, SAXWA will also allocate client assets to separate accounts managed by independent third-party investment advisers.

These situations will be specifically identified by the client.

For clients with a significant fixed income allocation, SAXWA generally recommends customized, laddered bond portfolios to clients. In such situations, SAXWA will typically request discretionary authority from clients to manage their fixed income assets. Discretionary authority may be necessary to enable SAXWA to purchase such assets in a timely manner when they are available at quoted prices. Complete customized, laddered fixed income portfolios generally require a minimum level of assets allocated to fixed income. Low-cost, passively managed fixed income mutual funds may be used for smaller allocated amounts. SAXWA regularly monitors credit ratings of client account holdings as reported by Standard and Poor and/or Fitch. SAXWA may, at its discretion maintain or sell securities based on transaction costs and client portfolios until maturation absent a material change in credit quality or other investment decisions such as tax-loss harvesting opportunities. Additionally, for clients holding certificate of deposits (CDs), SAXWA will regularly monitor the total CD positions to ensure principal invested in CDs does not exceed FDIC insurance limits. For accounts linked by the same tax-payer identification number, SAXWA examines CD positions within accounts under SAXWA management to look for breaches of FDIC insurance limits on principal invested in CDs. The firm does not monitor for CD positions held away from SAXWA.

These are primarily 401(k) accounts, 529 Plans, Health Savings Accounts, and other assets which are held at third-party custodians. SAXWA regularly reviews the available investment options in these accounts, monitors and rebalances and implements our strategies in the same way we do other accounts, though using different tools as necessary. SAXWA is not affiliated with the platform in any way and receives no compensation from them for using their platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect a held-away account(s) to the platform. Once Client account(s) are connected to the platform, SAXWA will review the current account allocations. When deemed necessary, SAXWA will rebalance the account considering client investment goals and risk tolerance, and any change in allocations will consider current economic and market trends. The goal is to improve account performance over time, minimize loss during difficult markets, and manage internal fees that harm account performance. In limited circumstances, SAXWA utilizes a different third-party platform to facilitate the management of client accounts, including for asset allocation, model portfolios and investment strategies, as well as billing and administrative services. The client accounts managed on this platform were previously managed by an adviser that has been acquired by SAXWA. SAXWA does not use this platform for new client relationships.

These loans work differently than other loans and clients should thoroughly review the lending documents prior to obtaining any such loan and seek guidance from their accountant or tax professional. SyntheticFi uses box spreads to create the loan. The interest expenses are deductible as capital losses to the securities used to make the loan. This is different than other types of loans where interest is typically tax deductible from your income. A box spread is an options arbitrage strategy that combines buying a bull call spread with a matching bear put spread. Also referred to as a long box, it's like two vertical spreads that have the same strike prices and expiration dates. The price at expiration is the distance between the strikes involved. The price paid for today can be thought of as that of a zero-coupon bond. The lower the initial cost of the box, the higher its implied interest rate. This concept is known as a synthetic loan. SyntheticFi uses a combination of four exchange-listed S&P 500 Index options to create the synthetic loan.

Item 7 Types of Clients SAXWA provides services to families, individuals, qualified retirement plans, trusts, charitable organizations, corporations and small businesses. SAXWA generally requires a minimum annual fee of $15,000 and a minimum account size of $1,500,000 for individual fixed income portfolio management services. SAXWA retains the discretion to reduce or waive these minimums based upon individual client circumstances (e.g., the nature of current investments, future contributions by client to the account, etc.). Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategy SAXWA's services are based on long-term investment strategies incorporating the principles of Modern 8 Portfolio Theory. SAXWA's investment approach is firmly rooted in the belief that markets are "efficient" over periods of time and that investors' long-term returns are determined principally by asset allocation decisions, rather than market timing or stock picking. SAXWA recommends globally-diversified portfolios, principally through the use of passively managed, asset class mutual funds. SAXWA selects or recommends portfolios of securities, principally broadly-traded open end mutual funds or fixed income securities to implement this investment strategy. Although all investments involve risk, SAXWA's investment advice seeks to limit risk through broad diversification among asset classes and, as appropriate for particular clients the investment directly in fixed income securities to represent the fixed income class. SAXWA's investment philosophy is designed for investors who desire a buy and hold strategy. In the implementation of investment plans, SAXWA therefore primarily uses mutual funds, and, as appropriate, portfolios of fixed income securities. SAXWA may also utilize Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to represent an asset class. Clients may hold or retain other types of assets as well, and SAXWA may offer advice regarding those various assets as part of its services. Advice regarding such assets will generally not involve asset management services but may help to more generally assist the client. SAXWA may recommend public real estate investment trusts (REITs) and commodities index funds for certain clients who desire to include real estate or commodities in the asset allocation strategy. SAXWA will also evaluate insurance products such as annuities and various types of life insurance products. strategies do not recommend frequent trading, which can increase brokerage and other costs and taxes. Typically, mutual funds and exchange traded funds utilized by SAXWA follow a passive asset class investment philosophy with low holdings turnover. Analysis of a Financial Situation financial In the development of investment plans and wealth management planning for clients, including the recommendation of an appropriate asset allocation, SAXWA relies on an analysis of the objectives, current and estimated future resources, and tolerance for risk. To derive a recommended asset allocation, SAXWA may use a Monte Carlo simulation, a standard statistical approach for dealing with uncertainty. As with any other methods used to make projections into the future, there are several risks associated with this method, which may result in the client not being able to achieve their financial goals. They include: The risk that expected future cash flows will not match those used in the analysis The risk that future rates of return will fall short of the estimates used in the simulation The risk that inflation will exceed the estimates used in the simulation For taxable clients, the risk that tax rates will be higher than was assumed in the analysis 9 Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. All investments present the risk of loss of principal the risk that the value of securities (mutual funds, ETFs and individual bonds), when sold or otherwise disposed of, may be less than the price paid for the securities. Even when the value of the securities when sold is greater than the price paid, there is the risk that the appreciation will be less than inflation. In other words, the purchasing power of the proceeds may be less than the purchasing power of the original investment. The securities utilized by SAXWA may include funds invested in domestic and international equities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs), corporate, municipal and government fixed income securities and commodities. Equity securities may include large capitalization, medium capitalization and small capitalization stocks. Mutual funds and ETF shares invested in fixed income securities are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings. and International small capitalization and small capitalization value funds, emerging markets funds, and commodity futures funds. Conservative fixed income securities have lower risk of loss of principal, but most bonds (with the exception of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, or TIPS) present the risk of loss of purchasing power through lower expected return. This risk is greatest for longer-term bonds and bonds that are not investment-grade. Certain funds utilized by SAXWA may contain international securities. Investing outside the United States involves additional risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be greater with investments in developing countries. Interval Fund Risk An interval fund is a type of closed-end fund containing shares that do not trade on the secondary market. Instead, the fund periodically offers to buy back a percentage of outstanding shares at net asset value. The rules for interval funds, along with the types of assets held, make this investment largely illiquid compared with other funds. The primary reasons for investors to consider investing in interval funds SAXWA may utilize include, but are not limited to, gaining exposure to certain risk categories that provide diversified sources of expected returns, part of which may be in the form of illiquidity premiums. Access to the intended risk and expected return characteristics may not otherwise be available in more liquid, traditional investment vehicles. Where appropriate, SAXWA may utilize certain interval funds structured as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Investments in an interval fund involve additional risk, including lack of liquidity and restrictions on withdrawals. During any time periods outside of the specified repurchase offer window(s), investors will be unable to 10 sell their shares of the interval fund. There is no assurance that an investor will be able to tender shares when or in the amount desired, and the fund may suspend or postpone purchases. Clients should corresponding liquidity risks. Because these types of investments involve certain additional risk, these suitability, tolerance for risk and liquidity needs. Investment should be avoided where an investor has a short-term investing horizon and/or cannot bear the loss of some or all of the investment. More information about the risks of any particular market sector can be reviewed in representative mutual fund prospectuses managing assets within each applicable sector. Cybersecurity Risk The computer systems, networks and devices used by SAXWA 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 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 may 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 additional compliance costs, as well as the inadvertent release of confidential information. Similar adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity breaches affecting issuers 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 additional substantial costs may be incurred by these entities in order to prevent any cybersecurity breaches in the future. SyntheticFi Program Maintenance call risk they may receive a maintenance call and may be required to sell their investments. SyntheticFi Program Interest rate risk SyntheticFi uses box spreads in the underlying structure. It functions like a zero-coupon bond and with 11 the same interest rate risk as any other fixed-income investment, especially for longer-termed fixed rate products. Clients can choose the floating rate option and minimize the interest rate risk. Loans including those created by box spreads may magnify both gains and losses, can increase volatility, and may require the posting of collateral or margin. In adverse market conditions, losses may exceed the amount invested. In addition, SyntheticFi transactions are subject to counterparty risk, operational risk, and potential liquidity constraints. There is no guarantee that SyntheticFi will achieve its intended objectives, and clients should carefully consider the risks associated with leverage and synthetic exposures. SyntheticFi Program Execution risk In extreme market conditions (e.g. market closures), SyntheticFi might fail to roll over the box spreads loan and may need to pay the higher margin interest, until execution is restored.

An agency cross transaction is defined as a transaction where a person acts as an investment advisor in relation to a transaction in which the investment advisor, or any person controlled by or under common control with the investment advisor, acts as broker for both the advisory client and for another person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross transactions may arise where an advisor is dually registered as a broker-dealer or has an affiliated broker-dealer. Item 12 Brokerage Practices SAXWA participates in the Schwab Advisor Services (SAS) program offered to independent investment advisers by Charles Schwab & Company, Inc., the Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services (FIWS) program, sponsored by Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC ("Fidelity") and Altruist (f.k.a. Shareholder Services Group). Schwab, Fidelity, and Altruist are unaffiliated SEC-registered broker dealers and FINRA member broker dealers. Each offer to independent advisors services which include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement transactions. The Schwab, Fidelity and Altruist brokerage programs will generally be recommended to advisory clients for the execution of mutual fund and equity securities transactions. SAXWA regularly reviews these programs to ensure that its recommendations are consistent with its fiduciary duty. These trading platforms are essential to SAXWA's service arrangements and capabilities, and SAXWA may not accept clients who direct the use of other brokers. As part of these programs, SAXWA receives benefits that it would not receive if it did not offer investment advice (See the disclosure under Item 14 of this Brochure). As SAXWA will not request the discretionary authority to determine the broker dealer to be used or the commission rates to be paid for mutual fund and equity securities transactions, clients must direct SAXWA as to the broker dealer to be used. In directing the use of a particular broker or dealer, it should be understood that SAXWA will not have authority to negotiate commissions among various brokers or obtain volume discounts, and best execution may not be achieved. Not all investment advisers require clients to direct the use of specific brokers. SAXWA will not exercise authority to arrange client transactions in fixed income securities of individual bonds. Clients will provide this authority to a fixed income manager retained by SAXWA on client's behalf by designating the portfolio manager with trading authority over client's brokerage account. Clients will be provided with the Disclosure Brochure (Form ADV Part 2) of portfolio manager. Schwab, Fidelity and Altruist do not generally charge clients a custody fee and are compensated by account holders through commissions or other transaction-related fees for securities trades that are executed through the broker or that settle into the clients' accounts at the brokers. Trading client 14 accounts through other brokers may result in fees (including mark-ups and mark-downs) being charged by the custodial broker and an additional broker. While SAXWA will not arrange transactions through other brokers, the authority of the fixed income portfolio manager includes the ability to trade client fixed income assets through other brokers. SAXWA does not have any arrangements to compensate any broker dealer for client referrals. SAXWA does not maintain any client trade error gains. SAXWA makes clients whole with respect to any trade error losses incurred by clients caused by SAXWA. SAXWA generally does not aggregate any client transactions in mutual fund or other securities. Client accounts are individually reviewed and managed, and transaction costs are not saved by aggregating orders in almost all circumstances in which SAXWA arranges transactions. Employee Benefit Plan Services SAXWA does not arrange for the execution of securities transactions for plans as a part of this service. Transactions are executed directly through employee plan participation. Financial Planning Services SAXWA's financial planning practice, due to the nature of its business and client needs, does not include blocking trades, negotiating commissions with broker dealers or obtaining volume discounts, nor necessarily obtaining the best price. Clients will be required to select their own broker dealers and insurance companies for the implementation of financial planning recommendations. 15 Item 13 Review of Accounts Reviews: Investment Management Services Account assets are supervised continuously and reviewed periodically at the discretion of an investment professional of SAXWA. The review may include some of the following elements, among others: a. assessing client goals and objectives; b. evaluating the employed strategy(ies); c. monitoring the portfolio(s); and d. addressing the need to rebalance. Additional account reviews may be triggered by any of the following events: a. a specific client request; b. a change in client goals and objectives; c. an imbalance in a portfolio asset allocation; and d. market/economic conditions. For fixed income portfolios, certain account review responsibilities are delegated to a third-party investment manager as described above in Item 4.

Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation Other Compensation As indicated under the disclosure for Item 12, Schwab, Fidelity and Altruist each respectively provide SAXWA with access to services, which are not available to retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis at no charge to them. These services benefit SAXWA but may not benefit its clients' accounts. Many of the products and services assist SAXWA in managing and administering clients' accounts. These include software and other technology that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of SAXWA's fees from its clients' accounts, and assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or a substantial number of SAXWA's accounts. Recommended brokers also make available to SAXWA other services intended to help SAXWA manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, and marketing. SAXWA does not, however, enter into any commitments with the brokers for transaction levels in exchange for any services or products from brokers. While as a fiduciary, SAXWA endeavors to act in its clients' best interests, SAXWA's requirement that clients maintain their assets in 17 accounts at Schwab, Fidelity or Altruist may be based in part on the benefit to SAXWA 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 the brokers, which may create a potential conflict of interest. SAXWA also receives software from DFA, which SAXWA utilizes in forming asset allocation strategies and producing performance reports. DFA also provides continuing education for SAXWA personnel. These services are designed to assist SAXWA plan and design its services for business growth. Client Referrals When a client is introduced to SAWA by either an unaffiliated or an affiliated solicitor, SAXWA, at times, pays that solicitor (also known as a promotor) a referral fee in accordance with applicable state securities laws. Unless otherwise disclosed, any such referral fee is paid solely from SAXWA's investment management fee and does not result in any additional charge to the client. If the client is introduced to SAXWA by an unaffiliated solicitor, the solicitor is required to provide the client with SAXWA's written brochure(s) and a copy of a solicitor's disclosure statement containing the terms and conditions of the solicitation arrangement.

As referenced in Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations, individuals associated with SAXWA have invested in WealthRamp, Inc., a registered investment advisor. WealthRamp also serves as a promoter for SAXWA. This could be perceived as a conflict of interest because these individuals derive an economic benefit from payments made to WealthRamp by SAXWA. Harness Wealth also serves as a promoter for SAXWA. This could be perceived as a conflict of interest because these individuals derive an economic benefit from payments made to Harness Wealth by SAXWA. Item 15 Custody Investment Management and Employee Benefit Plan Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that holds assets. SAXWA urges you to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that we may provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. 18 Item 16 Investment Discretion SAXWA requests that it be provided with written authority to determine which securities and the amounts of securities that are bought or sold.
