Annual Update
The Material Changes section of this brochure will be updated annually when a material change
occurs after the previous release of the Firm Brochure.
Material Changes since the Last Update
Sculati Wealth Management (SWM) has one material change since March 22, 2024 when we last
updated ADV Form 2A.
Effective December 31, 2024, Sculati Wealth Management has updated its proxy voting policy.
Previously, SWM exercised discretionary authority to vote proxies on behalf of clients for securities
held in managed accounts, as outlined in our prior brochure. In response to recent SEC regulations,
including enhanced proxy voting disclosure requirements under Form N-PX (effective July 1, 2023,
with reporting obligations beginning in 2024), we will no longer vote proxies on your behalf. This
change reflects our assessment of the increased administrative and compliance responsibilities
associated with these regulations.
Going forward, proxy voting responsibility will reside with you, the client. For details on this change,
refer to Item 17 (Voting Client Securities) below. Please contact us at (248) 325-9947 if you have
questions or need assistance with proxy voting arrangements.
This brochure, updated as of March 27, 2025, reflects all material changes since our last annual

Item 4. Advisory Business
Firm Description
SWM was founded in 2011.
SWM provides personalized and confidential financial planning and wealth management to
individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and small
businesses. Advice is provided through consultation with the client and may include determination
of financial objectives, identification of financial problems, cash flow management, tax planning,
insurance reviews, wealth management, education funding, retirement planning, and estate
planning.
SWM is a fee-only wealth management firm. For all fee-only accounts, financial planning is included
at no cost to the client. For all prospective fee-only clients, financial planning is included at no cost
to the prospect. It is SWM’s standard practice to furnish a financial plan for all current and
prospective clients, unless the current or prospective client has opted to not complete the financial
planning process. The completion of a financial plan is at the discretion of the current or prospective
client, but it is highly encouraged by SWM.
There are no known conflicts of interest for providing a financial plan at no cost. SWM will seek to
provide clients with the best service and care. SWM will always work in the best interests of SWM’s
clients, both current and prospective.
Investment advice is an integral part of financial planning. In addition, SWM advises clients regarding
cash flow, college planning, retirement planning, tax planning and estate planning.
Investment advice is provided, with SWM making the final decision on investment selection. SWM
will provide general advice around cryptocurrencies and the risks associated with them but does not
have the ability to invest client money in cryptocurrencies. SWM does not act as a custodian of client
assets. The client always maintains asset control. SWM places trades for clients under a limited
power of attorney.
A written evaluation of each client's initial situation is provided to the client, often in the form of an
Investment Policy Statement. Periodic reviews are also communicated to provide reminders of the
specific courses of action that need to be taken. More frequent reviews occur but are not necessarily
communicated to the client unless immediate changes are recommended.
Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, etc.) are engaged directly by the
client on an as-needed basis. Conflicts of interest will be disclosed to the client in the unlikely event
they should occur.
The initial meeting, which may be by telephone, is free of charge and is considered an exploratory
interview to determine the extent to which financial planning and wealth management may be
beneficial to the client.

SWM has 6 employees, 4 of which provide investment advisory functions. These 4 employees are
registered with one or more state securities authorities as investment adviser representatives.
99% of clients of SWM are United States persons, with 1% being outside the United States.
Principal Owners
David J. Sculati is the sole member of the LLC.
Types of Advisory Services
SWM provides investment supervisory services, also known as asset management services and
furnishes investment advice through consultations.
On more than an occasional basis, SWM furnishes advice to clients on matters not involving
securities.
For Example: Financial planning matters; taxation issues; trust services that include estate planning,
etc.
Tailored Relationships
The goals and objectives for each client are documented in our Investment Policy Statements for each
client. Investment policy statements are created that reflect the stated goals and objectives.
Generally, these Investment Policy Statements are based around the Client’s financial plan. Clients
may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
Agreements may only be assigned with client consent.
Wrap Fee Programs
SWM does not participate in wrap fee programs.
Investment advice limitations & client asset reporting
SWM does not provide investment advice only with respect to limited types of investments. All
client assets that are reported are calculated using the same method.
Separately managed accounts
SWM offers Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) through third-party managers. These SMAs
consist of customized investment portfolios designed to meet clients' objectives and risk profiles.
Clients have the option to allocate a portion or all of their investment assets to SMAs. While SWM
does not directly manage the underlying investments in these SMAs, it acts as a discretionary advisor,
providing guidance on asset allocation and financial planning.
S c u l a t i W e a l t h M a n a g e m e n t
Page 2
Form ADV Part 2A
2025
Importantly, we do not receive any compensation or fees for using or recommending these SMAs,
and we have no affiliation with the providers. The fees associated with SMAs are determined by the
providers themselves and are separate from our firm's fees.
As of 12/31/2024, SWM manages total assets of $347,231,078 with total clients of 369. Of this
total, the value of $65,168,732 belongs to 272 individual clients, $280,993,000 to 97 high net worth
clients, and $1,069,346 to 2 charitable foundations.
Marketing Activities
SWM does not have any advertisements that include any of the following: performance results,
references to specific investment advice provided by SWM, testimonials, endorsements or third-
party ratings.
Assets Managed
Client regulatory assets under management for SWM as of December 31, 2024 are as follows:
Type of Management
US Dollar Amount
$347,231,078
Discretionary:
Non-Discretionary:
$0
Total:
$347,231,078
Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Description of Compensation
SWM bases its fees on a percentage of assets under management for investment management. The
asset amount on which the fee is calculated is the closing value of the last business day of the previous
quarter.
SWM uses the following fee schedule when generating bills:
Breakpoints
$0 to $1 Million
Next $1 Million
Next $1 Million
Above $3 Million
All Assets
1.00%
.80%
.60%
.40%
The minimum household account size is $500,000 and the minimum annual fee is $5,000.
Current client relationships may exist where the fees are higher or lower than the fee schedule above.
Clients are made aware that SWM is not the only investment adviser. Clients are made aware that
other investment advisers may have either higher or lower fees than SWM and these investment
S c u l a t i W e a l t h M a n a g e m e n t
Page 3
Form ADV Part 2A
2025
advisers provide comparable services. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from
other sources.
Fee Deduction
Fees are usually deducted from a designated client account to facilitate billing. Payment in full is
expected within 15 days of invoice presentation.
SWM has written authorization from the client to deduct advisory fees from the account held with
the qualified custodian, which can be found on all custodian account applications. The client gives
SWM this authorization when the client signs the account application.
Other Fees
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds and exchange-
traded funds. These transaction charges are usually small and incidental to the purchase or sale of a
security. The selection of the security is more important than the nominal fee that the custodian
charges to buy or sell the security. The maximum transaction fee a SWM client can incur is $49.95
if the client chooses to use Charles Schwab as the custodian. Clients can incur transaction fees larger
than $49.95 if the client chooses to use a different custodian.
Mutual funds generally charge a management fee for their services as investment managers. The
management fee is called an expense ratio. For example, an expense ratio of 0.50 means that the
mutual fund company charges 0.5% annually for their services. These fees are in addition to the fees
paid by you to SWM.
Performance figures quoted by mutual fund companies in various publications are after their fees
have been deducted.
Clients will incur brokerage and other transaction costs.
Payment in Advance
SWM will invoice clients quarterly and must pay in advance of the end of that quarter. The fee
structure is applied each quarter to determine the amount billed to each client.
SWM reserves the right to stop work on any account that is more than 30 days overdue. In addition,
SWM reserves the right to terminate any financial planning engagement where a client has willfully
concealed or has refused to provide pertinent information about financial situations when necessary
and appropriate, in SWM’s judgment, to providing proper financial advice. Any unused portion of
fees collected in advance will be refunded within 30 days.
If the relationship between Client and Advisor is terminated, Advisor’s management fees will be
charged through the end of the month in which the termination occurred. Any unearned fees paid
in advance will be refunded to the client on a pro-rata basis upon termination of the client’s
investment advisory contract and either credited to Client’s account or mailed via check.
S c u l a t i W e a l t h M a n a g e m e n t

Form ADV Part 2A
2025
New clients are not prorated an investment management fee. In other words, if a client opens an
account in the middle of a billing period, they will not pay a fee until the next billing is assessed.
For Example:
1. Client A has $500,000 in assets at SWM that are being managed. The client would pay
a total amount (if assets stayed at $500,000) $5,000 for the year assessed and paid each
quarter. In this scenario, Client A would pay $1,250 each quarter (1% divided by 4,
multiplied by $500,000).
2. Client B is a new client to SWM with $500,000 in assets. At the end of the first quarter
the assets amount to $500,000 for a bill totaling $1,250 (1.00% divided by 4, multiplied
by $500,000).
The next quarter, the client transferred $750,000 more assets to SWM. The client now
has total assets of $1.25 Million at SWM. This quarter the fee assessed on the value of
assets up to $1 Million was 1.00%, and the fee assessed on the value of assets over $1
Million was .80%. This amounts to a fee of $2,500 on the $1 Million (1.00% divided
by 4, multiplied by $1 Million), and $500 (.80% divided by 4, multiplied by $250,000)
on the $250,000. This client would have an effective fee of .24% for the quarter, or
.96% annualized ($500 added to $2,500, divided by $1.25 Million). The total bill for
this quarter was $3,000.
Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment
Products
SWM does not accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products.
Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side
Management
Sharing of Capital Gains
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed securities.
SWM does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the potential conflict of interest.
Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for the adviser to recommend an
investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the client.
There is no side-by-side management of accounts at SWM, meaning no accounts have performance-
based fees along with another type of fee. All fees are asset-based, as disclosed in the section labeled,
“Fees and Compensation”.

Item 7. Types of Clients
Description
SWM generally provides investment advice to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
or charitable organizations, corporations, or business entities.
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
SWM has a minimum account size of $500,000 and this is negotiable.
SWM does have a minimum annual fee of $5,000 and is negotiable. When this minimum annual fee
results in a fee charge that is greater than 3%, this fee charge is reduced so that this fee charge will
not exceed 3%.
When an account falls below $500,000 in value, the minimum annual fee of $5,000 is charged unless
this annual fee results in a fee charge that exceeds 3%. If the fee charge exceeds 3%, the annual fee
is reduced so that this fee charge will not exceed 3%.
SWM has the discretion to alter the account minimum.
Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk
of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods may include charting, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and cyclical
analysis.
Definitions:
Charting & Technical Analysis: Displaying several technical indicators of a single
security on a “chart”. This allows comparisons of technical measures using different charting
methods to analyze investments and performance. Security analysis focused around past
trends, price and volume. This is sometimes referred to as supply and demand analysis.
There are various statistical measures used to forecast a security’s future performance.
Fundamental Analysis: Determining a security’s true value (sometimes called the
intrinsic value) by focusing on factors that are measurable. This data is analyzed and
compared against other securities as well as future prospects. This analysis is used to evaluate
whether a security is overvalued or undervalued.
S c u l a t i W e a l t h M a n a g e m e n t
Page 6
Form ADV Part 2A
2025
Cyclical Analysis: Evaluation of the current economic cycle (sometimes referred to as
the business cycle) to help determine proper valuations of companies. This is seen as a
macro-economic analysis that helps identify opportunities/concerns in specific industries and
furthermore specific companies.
The main sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, inspections of
corporate activities, research materials prepared by others, corporate rating services, timing services,
annual reports, prospectuses, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and company
press releases.
Other sources of information that SWM may use include past and present articles found within
Barron’s and The Wall Street Journal; Morningstar Adviser Workstation; Schwab Institutional;
Charles Schwab & Company; Value Line; and the World Wide Web.
Investment Strategies
SWM will buy individual securities in most accounts but does invest client dollars in money market
funds, no-load mutual funds or load funds that allow investment advisers to buy their shares at net
asset value. These mutual funds are used to meet specific goals as outlined with the client in the
Investment Policy Statement. Diversification in a smaller account will often make buying a mutual
fund rather than individual securities necessary.
Based around either the client’s Investment Policy Statement, the client’s Financial Plan, either, or
both, SWM determines which securities and allocations are best fitted for the client. SWM does not
utilize a method of analysis or strategy with significant or unusual risks. SWM does not use a strategy
that involves frequent trading of securities.
There are risks regarding the creation of an Investment Policy Statement or a Financial Plan for a
client. The client may not provide adequate or accurate information. The client may not inform
SWM around changes in their personal or financial life which would impact either the Investment
Policy Statement or the Financial Plan.
SWM primarily recommends the following securities (see section “Asset Management” for
definitions) with the associated risks listed with them (see section “Risk of Loss” for definitions):
Individual Stocks: Interest-rate risk, market risk, inflation risk, currency risk, business risk, liquidity
risk, and financial risk
Individual Bonds: Interest-rate risk, market risk, inflation risk, currency risk, reinvestment risk,
business risk, liquidity risk, and financial risk
Mutual Funds: Interest-rate risk, market risk, inflation risk, currency risk, business risk, liquidity
risk, and financial risk
Money Market Funds: Interest-rate risk, inflation risk, and currency risk
S c u l a t i W e a l t h M a n a g e m e n t
Page 7
Form ADV Part 2A
2025
Risk of Loss
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment approach
constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment risks:
•
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less
attractive, causing their market values to decline.
• Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to
tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external
factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example,
political, economic and social conditions may trigger market events.
•
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much
as a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar
against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as
exchange rate risk.
• Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to
be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily
relates to fixed income securities.
• Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular
company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil
and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a
higher risk of profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from a
steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic
environment is like.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are
not.
• Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk
of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good
times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations
may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value.
Item 9. Disciplinary Information
Legal and Disciplinary
The firm and its employees have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events related to past or
present investment clients.

Other Investment Advisers
SWM utilizes Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) offered by Third-Party SMA Providers for client
investment purposes. Although we use their SMAs as an option for our clients, there are no affiliations
or compensation arrangements with the provider, and we do not receive any fees or financial
incentives for recommending these services. A conflict of interest may exist, as SWM may have an
incentive to recommend BlackRock SMAs if SWM receives indirect benefits, such as research or
marketing support.
Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
The employees of SWM have committed to a Code of Ethics that is available for review by clients
and prospective clients upon request. The Code of Ethics is a 3-page document found within SWM’s
Compliance Manual. This Compliance Manual is updated annually and signed in agreement by all
employees of SWM.
The Code of Ethics contains the following general principles, taken directly from the Compliance
Manual:
SWM has the duty always to place the interests of Clients first.
All personal securities transactions will be conducted in such a manner as to be consistent
with the code of ethics and to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse
of an employee’s position of trust and responsibility.
SWM will not take inappropriate advantage of our investment security positions.
SWM will uphold the fiduciary principle that information concerning the identity of security
holdings and financial circumstances of clients is confidential.
Total independence in the decision-making process is paramount.
Our code of ethics will apply to all Directors, Officers and Employees. It is important that
each person conducts themselves with the highest standards of honesty, integrity and
professionalism to protect the firm’s reputation as well as their own.
Failure to comply with this code of ethics may result in disciplinary action, including
termination of employment.
S c u l a t i W e a l t h M a n a g e m e n t
Page 10
Form ADV Part 2A
2025
The Code of Ethics contains the following sections: Scope of the Code, Standards of Business
Conduct, Compliance Procedures, and Record Keeping.
SWM does not recommend to clients, nor buys nor sells for client accounts, securities in which SWM
has a material financial interest. SWM and all employees of SWM do not have any material financial
interests related to any securities that could potentially be bought or sold for client accounts.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
SWM and its employees may buy or sell securities that are also held by clients. Employees may not
trade their own securities ahead of client trades. Employees comply with the provisions of the SWM
Compliance Manual.
Personal Trading
The Chief Compliance Officer of SWM is Nathan A. Hawrot. He reviews all employee trades each
quarter. His trades are reviewed by David J. Sculati. The personal trading reviews ensure that the
personal trading of employees does not affect the markets, and that clients of the firm receive
preferential treatment. Since most employee trades are small relative to the size of the market, the
trades do not affect the securities markets.
Item 12. Brokerage Practices
Selecting Brokerage Firms
SWM does not have any affiliation with product sales firms. Specific custodian recommendations are
made to clients based on their need for such services. SWM recommends custodians based on the
proven integrity and financial responsibility of the firm and the best execution of orders at reasonable
commission rates.
SWM recommends discount brokerage firm Charles Schwab & Co. Inc.
SWM does not receive fees or commissions from any of these arrangements.
Best Execution
SWM reviews the execution of trades at each custodian each quarter. The review is documented in
the SWM Compliance Manual. Trading fees charged by the custodians is also reviewed on a quarterly
basis. SWM does not receive any portion of the trading fees.
Soft Dollars
SWM is currently not engaged in any soft dollar arrangements.
Order Aggregation
SWM does aggregate client trades when it would be beneficial for clients.
S c u l a t i W e a l t h M a n a g e m e n t
Page 11
Form ADV Part 2A
2025
SWM has a Bunched Order Policy that governs the practice of aggregating trades.
The Bunched Order Policy states:
Transactions for each client account will occur independently unless SWM decides to
purchase or sell the same securities for several clients on the same day. SWM may combine
or “bunch” client orders.
When buying or selling, all clients will receive an average execution price for the security.
Not all accounts participating in a bunched order will receive a pro-rata commission. Each
account will be subject to the minimum ticket fee imposed by the broker dealer who has
custody of the account.
In cases where a partial fill arises with a buy or a sell order, accounts will be allocated based
first upon the quantity they are trading (high to low) and then alphabetically (A to Z).
Employees of SWM will not participate in bunched orders if there is a partial fill. Employees
of SWM will participate in bunched orders if a limit order is filled, or if a market order is
placed.
Any client that specifically directs us to use a custodian other than Charles Schwab & Co.,
Inc. will not be able to participate in bunched orders.
For Example: If SWM were to enter a limit order to buy or sell 10,000 shares of
XYZ Company at $10 per share and SWM was only able to purchase 7,000 shares,
then the above policy would be used to allocate this purchase.
Item 13. Review of Accounts
Periodic Reviews
Account reviews are performed quarterly by advisers: President David J. Sculati; CFP® and Chief
Compliance Officer, Nathan Hawrot; Michelle DiNardo and Alan Gildenberg. Account reviews are
performed more frequently when market conditions dictate. Along with account reviews, financial
plans are reviewed regularly when enacting trades in a client’s account.
Financial plans are reviewed when clients have a major life event such as: retirement, death of spouse
or relative, college costs, social security eligibility, pension eligibility, etc. These plans are reviewed
and updated at this time with the relevant information. Financial plans that have not been updated
within 3 to 5 years are also reviewed and a financial plan update is highly encouraged and the decision
to update is at the client’s discretion.
Review Triggers
Other conditions that may trigger a review are changes in the tax laws, new investment information,
and changes in a client's own situation.
S c u l a t i W e a l t h M a n a g e m e n t

Regular Reports
Account reviewers are members of the firm's Investment Committee. They are instructed to
consider the client's current security positions and the likelihood that the performance of each
security will contribute to the investment objectives of the client.
Clients receive periodic communications on at least an annual basis. Investment Advisory/Management
Agreement clients receive electronic or written quarterly updates. The electronic or written updates
may include individual performance reports as well as an aggregate report for all the clients’ accounts.
Annual ADV offer & Annual Privacy Policy or submitted in March after Form ADV has been updated.
Realized gain and loss report are sent electronically or written for the previous year and other reports
are also available upon request.
Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Incoming Referrals
SWM will receive client referrals. The referrals that come from current clients will not result in
client compensation.
SWM does not have any arrangements with an outside person or entities that provides investment
advice or other advisory services to clients that results in an economic benefit for SWM.
SWM engages in solicitation agreements with licensed or designated professionals who refer clients
to SWM. The compensation paid to these other professionals is from SWM. Clients will pay no
more than if they had not been directly referred.
Referrals Out
SWM does not accept referral fees or any form of remuneration from other professionals when a
prospect or client is referred to them.
Other Compensation
SWM does not receive any forms of other compensation.
Item 15. Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians. This means the custodians provide account statements
directly to clients at their address of record at least quarterly.
S c u l a t i W e a l t h M a n a g e m e n t
Page 13
Form ADV Part 2A
2025
Performance Reports
Clients are urged to compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to the
performance report statements provided by SWM. SWM does not provide SWM’s own account
statement to Client.
Advisory Fees
SWM has custody of the funds and securities solely because of its authority to make withdrawals from
client accounts to pay its advisory fee, along with the authority to move money electronically for
each client.
Item 16. Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
SWM accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients. SWM has
the authority to determine, without obtaining specific client consent, the securities to be bought or
sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. Since all SWM clients give discretionary
authority via the client’s account application and investment advisory agreement, SWM does not
consult with the client before each trade to obtain concurrence if a blanket trading authorization has
not been given.
The Client approves the custodian to be used. SWM negotiates the commission rates paid to the
custodian. SWM does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid by the
Client to the custodian on certain trades.
Discretionary trading authority facilitates placing trades in Client accounts on the behalf of clients so
that SWM may promptly implement the investment policy that clients of SWM have approved in
writing.
Limited Power of Attorney
A limited power of attorney is a trading authorization for this purpose. You sign a limited power of
attorney so that we may execute the trades that you have approved.
Item 17. Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
SWM does not vote proxies on behalf of its clients. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that they
receive, review, and respond to any proxy materials they receive from the issuers of the securities in
which they are invested
If clients seek assistance with proxy voting, SWM may provide general information to clients about
how to exercise their proxy voting rights, but the firm does not provide guidance or
recommendations on how to vote proxies as needed but will not directly vote on their behalf.
