Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
The following provides information about a variety of topics relating to SJHL Financial Services, LLC d/b/a SJHL
Financial Group (hereinafter referred to as "SJHL” or the “Advisor”), its business practices and conflicts of
interest.
SJHL is an SEC registered investment adviser with its principal office and place of business in Kansas. SJHL was
founded in October 2016 and is owned Chet Buchman, Stacie Wilson, Darren Anderson, Adam Grilliot, Jaymie
Rothrock, Justin Kaufman, and Deborah Coan. SJHL is affiliated with Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk & Loyd, LLC through
common ownership.
B. Advisory Services Offered
SJHL offers financial planning and investment advisory services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans,
trusts, estates, and small businesses (each referred to as a “Client”). Prior to engaging SJHL, each Client is
required to enter into an investment advisory agreement with SJHL that defines the terms, conditions, authority,
and responsibilities of SJHL and the Client.
SJHL hereby acknowledges that it is a "fiduciary" when the firm’s services are subject to the provisions of ERISA
of 1974, as amended. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The
way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires
us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours.
Investment Management Services
SJHL provides customized investment advisory solutions for its clients through continuous personal client contact,
interaction, and oversight while providing discretionary investment management, through its sub-advisor
(described further below), Focus Partners Advisor Solutions (“FPAS”) (formerly Buckingham Strategic Partners,
LLC). SJHL works with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and
financial situation to create a portfolio allocation.
SJHL, in connection with the Client, will identify the Client’s investment goals and objectives, and, with FPAS, will
identify the broad strategy[ies] to be employed and develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet
the identified investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each 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 SJHL.
At times, SJHL will provide clients with financial planning recommendations as part of its investment management
services. These services range in nature and scope depending upon the Client’s needs. When financial planning
recommendations are provided, these are done as a part of the investment management services at no additional
cost.
SJHL, with FPAS, will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s account using a
portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the
Client’s investment goals. Initial public offerings (IPOs) and non-traded REITS are not available through SJHL.
Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis. SJHL will be responsible for selecting funds for the account, and
their amounts.
4
At no time will SJHL accept or maintain physical custody of a client’s funds or securities. The firm does have
constructive custody due to the direct deduction of SJHL’s fees and due to the use of Standing Letters of
Authorization for third-party money movement with the client’s custodian.
Limited Scope, Project-Based Financial Planning
SJHL provides Limited-Scope, Project-Based Financial Planning Services to clients in financial planning areas
identified by the client. Depending on the client’s needs, the scope of SJHL’s Financial Planning Services may
include, but are not limited to, the following areas: tax planning, retirement planning, investment planning,
charitable giving, insurance analysis and risk management, goal setting, business succession and exit planning,
and legacy planning. Clients understand that the responsibility for all financial decisions is theirs alone, and that
they are under no obligation to follow, either wholly or partially, any recommendations or suggestions provided
by SJHL. SJHL’s Limited Scope, Project-Based Financial Planning Services, begin when the client enters into an
agreement with the firm and terminate upon delivery of the firm’s recommendations to the client. The services
provided in SJHL’s Limited-Scope, Project-Based Financial Planning engagement do not include ongoing or
continuous supervision or management of a client’s securities, cash, or other assets. Clients who wish for SJHL
to implement the recommendations that they have received and to manage their securities, cash, or other assets
will necessarily enter into another agreement with the firm.
Use of Sub-Adviser
SJHL has contracted with Focus Partners Advisor Solutions (“FPAS”) (formerly Buckingham Strategic Partners,
LLC), for services including trade processing, collection of management fees, record maintenance, report
preparation, marketing assistance, and research. SJHL has also contracted with FPAS as its sub-advisor to provide
portfolio management to clients’ accounts. SJHL pays a fee for these FPAS services based on management fees
paid to SJHL on accounts that use FPAS services. These fees will not be separately charged to advisory clients.
The fee paid by SJHL to FPAS varies based on the total amount of client assets administered and/or sub advised
by FPAS through SJHL, and as FPAS acts as subadvisor for more client funds, the rate it charges to SJHL
decreases; therefore, SJHL has a conflict in that it has an incentive to recommend more clients work with FPAS,
which is mitigated by the fact that recommendations that clients work with FPAS are only made when in the best
interests of clients and the decision to work with FPAS is ultimately the client’s.
For investment management services, SJHL will request authority from the client to delegate discretion to trade
in the client’s account, and to receive quarterly payments directly from the client's account held by an independent
custodian. Clients may provide written limited authorization to SJHL or its sub-advisor, FPAS, to withdraw fees
from the account. Clients will receive custodial statements showing the advisory fees debited from their
account(s). Certain third-party administrators will calculate and debit SJHL’s fee and remit such fee to SJHL.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
We offer services to both plan sponsors and participants of retirement benefit plans.
Plan Design and Provider Consulting. We may assist with various aspects of the plan design. We evaluate bundled
or unbundled retirement plan service providers, including record keepers, third party administrators, trustees,
custodians, investment companies and legal and accounting professionals.
Investment Services. We offer assistance in creating and establishing a plan’s asset allocation and in evaluating
and monitoring investment options. This may include reviewing appropriate investment options for the plan,
asset classes and investment styles, evaluating and recommending investment managers, types, and selection of
investment options. We may also conduct periodic reviews of the plan’s investments to evaluate performance,
risk characteristics and expenses and recommend changes where appropriate.
Employee Education Services. We provide services to help plan participants choose an appropriate deferral rate
and investment selection by holding enrollment meetings and providing online or printed educational materials to
encourage participation and help employees choose appropriate deferral rates and investment elections. We may
5
also work directly with plan participants to help them evaluate their retirement savings goals and implement
appropriate contribution amounts and investments available in the plan.
To assist plan sponsors in fulfilling their ERISA fiduciary responsibilities, we may compare a plan’s services,
investments, features, and fees against those of comparable plans in similar-sized organizations, provide
educational resources to help plan sponsors understand and meet their fiduciary obligations and provide detailed
listings and explanations of all fees paid by the plan and participants to service providers and identify appropriate
opportunities for cost savings.
All recommendations of investment options and portfolios are submitted to the client for ultimate approval or
rejection. Therefore, it is always the client’s responsibility to make changes to the plan itself.
In the event a client contracts with SJHL for one-on-one consulting services with plan participants, those services
are consultative in nature and do not involve SJHL implementing recommendations in individual participant
accounts. It is the responsibility of each participant to implement changes in the participant’s individual accounts.
We can also meet with individual participants to discuss their specific investment risk tolerance, investment time
frame and investment selections. Although we do not implement any transactions in a retirement plan or
participant’s account; we can assist participants with adjusting the allocation percentage of their contributions for
investment options available within their plan upon request.
SJHL does not serve as an administrator or trustee of the plan nor does SJHL act as custodian for any client
account or have access to client funds or securities (with the exception of some accounts having written
authorization from the client to deduct our fees and in connection with Standing Letters of Authorization on file
with clients’ custodian).
For retirement plan consulting services, the retirement plan or the plan participant who elects to implement any
recommendations made by us is solely responsible for implementing all transactions.
C. Termination of Agreements
Although investment management contemplates an ongoing agreement, the length of service is at the client’s
discretion. The Client or SJHL may terminate the agreement at any time by written notice to the other party upon
advance written notice.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
SJHL does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, SJHL managed $174,548,564 in assets on a discretionary basis.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
A. Fees for Advisory Services
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by SJHL.
The specific way fees are charged by SJHL is established in a client’s written agreement with SJHL. Fees may be
waived in certain circumstances and are negotiable based on the complexity of the client’s situation, the
composition of the client’s account, the relationship of the client with SJHL, and the total amount of assets under
management for the client.
Investment Management and Retirement Plan Consulting Fees
SJHL's investment management fee is generally not negotiable and is charged according to the fee schedule
below applied on a cumulative basis. Generally, fees are charged against each respective account or from a
taxable account, if available.
6
Fees are charged quarterly, in advance. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate
divided by 4) to the market value of the total assets under management with SJHL on the last day of the prior
quarter. Fees on accounts opened mid-quarter are prorated and charged in arrears. These prorated fees are then
added to the first full quarter’s fees which are charged in advance for the first full quarter.

Limited-Scope, Project-Based Financial Planning Fees
SJHL charges a flat fee based on the scope, complexity, and extent of the services needed by the client for its
Limited-Scope, Project-Based Financial Planning Services. One half of the fee is due at the beginning of the
engagement, and the remainder of the fee is due upon the presentation of the recommendations. If the scope
of the work changes after commencement of the project requiring more time than originally estimated,
additional fees will be charged at an hourly rate agreed upon by the client in the original agreement subject to
the consent of the client before the additional work commences.
The client or SJHL can choose to terminate the agreement for Limited-Scope, Project-Based Financial Planning
Services at any time with written notice. Terminations will not affect the liabilities or obligations of either the
client or SJHL prior to the termination or the client’s obligation to pay the firm through the date of termination
for the services performed prior to termination except that clients have five (5) business days from the date
they execute the agreement for these services to terminate the agreement without penalty. In the event of a
termination prior to the completion of the services or delivery of the recommendations, SJHL will provide the
client with a prorated refund of any unearned, prepaid fees based on SJHL’s determination, in its sole discretion,
of the services completed as of the date of the termination.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management fee
Clients provide written authorization permitting SJHL to be paid directly from their account held by the
Custodian as part of the Investment Advisory Agreement and separate account forms provided by the
Custodian. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian, reflecting
deductions of the investment management fee. In addition, each time the fee is deducted from a client's
account SJHL will concurrently provide the Client with an invoice itemizing the fee, including the calculation
period covered by the fee, and the account value used to calculate the fee.
As noted above, SJHL has contracted with FPAS for certain sub-advisory services, and SJHL pays a fee for
these FPAS services based on management fees paid to SJHL on accounts that use FPAS services. These fees
will not be separately charged to advisory clients. The fee paid by SJHL to FPAS varies based on the total
amount of client assets administered and/or sub advised by FPAS through SJHL, and as FPAS acts as subadvisor
for more client funds, the rate it charges to SJHL decreases; therefore, SJHL has a conflict in that it has an
incentive to recommend more clients work with FPAS, which is mitigated by the fact that recommendations
that clients work with FPAS are only made when in the best interests of clients and the decision to work with
FPAS is ultimately the client’s.
7
Limited-Scope, Project-Based Financial Planning Fee
Clients may pay the fee for Limited-Scope, Project-Based Financial Planning Services via check.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than SJHL, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custodial and securities
execution fees charged by the custodian and executing broker-dealer. The Investment Advisory Fee charged
by SJHL is separate and distinct from these custodian and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to SJHL for investment advisory services 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. A Client could invest in these products directly, without the
services of SJHL, but would not receive the services provided by SJHL 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 SJHL to fully understand the total fees to be paid.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management
SJHL is compensated for its investment management services in advance of the quarter in which investment
advisory services are rendered. Clients may request to terminate their Investment Advisory Agreement with
SJHL, in whole or in part, by providing advance written notice. The Client shall be responsible for Investment
Advisory Fees up to and including the effective date of termination. Upon termination, the Advisor will promptly
refund any unearned, prepaid investment management fee from the effective date of termination to the end
of the quarter.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
SJHL does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any
Client account, other than the Investment Advisory Fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
SJHL does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
SJHL provides investment advisory services to the following types of Clients:
Individuals, Non-Profits, Personal Trusts, and Estates – private investors, investing their personal assets
Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans – retirement plan sponsors or company plans
Charitable Organizations
SJHL does not have a minimum requirement to open, maintain an account, or to receive advisory services from
us.
8
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
SJHL, through FPAS, will primarily employ fundamental analysis methods in developing investment strategies for
its clients’ accounts. Research and analysis 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. These criteria are generally 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 evaluate 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.
B. Investment Strategies
SJHL, by using FPAS, generally employs a long-term investment strategy, but may hold securities for shorter
periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio. At times, securities may be bought that are more short-term
in nature, depending on the security, sector, or asset class. SJHL will monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the
goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client.
SJHL 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 Client, generating cash to meet Client
needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
C. 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. SJHL 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. 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.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
SJHL will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process.
However, all investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. 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 value 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.
• 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.
9
• 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 times. 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
SJHL is required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to
your evaluation of our firm or the integrity of our management. SJHL nor any of its management persons have
information applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Certified Public Accountant (“CPA”) Affiliation
SJHL has arrangements with their affiliate, a separately owned CPA business, Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk & Loyd,
LLC to provide administrative support to SJHL. Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk & Loyd, LLC provides tax and accounting
services to some clients that are also investment clients of SJHL. Both firms have common ownership. This may
cause a conflict of interest in recommending certain services provided by Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk & Loyd, LLC
such as tax and accounting services. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made
by SJHL in their capacity as an Advisor or to use the accounting services of Swindoll, Janzen, Hawk & Loyd, LLC.
As previously disclosed under Advisory Business, SJHL has engaged Focus Partners Advisor Solutions (“FPAS”)
(formerly Buckingham Strategic Partners, LLC), an SEC registered investment adviser, as sub-advisor for its clients,
and to provide certain back-office services. FPAS provides SJHL with trade processing, collection of management
fees, record maintenance, report preparation, marketing assistance and research.
Timothy Kliewer is a licensed insurance agent. Approximately 5% of Mr. Kliewer’s time is spent on this practice.
From time to time, he will offer clients insurance products and/or services. This presents a conflict of interest
because he has an incentive to recommend products and services based on the commission and/or fee amount
received. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Mr. Kliewer has a fiduciary responsibility to place the interest
of the client first and the clients are not required to purchase any products or services from him. Clients have the
option to purchase these products or services at a higher or lesser cost through another insurance agent.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
SJHL has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code of Ethics
applies to all persons associated with SJHL. The Code of Ethics was developed to provide general ethical guidelines
and specific instructions regarding our duties to you, our client. SJHL and its personnel owe a duty of loyalty,
fairness, and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of SJHL associates to adhere not only to the
specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code of Ethics covers
10
a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of our Code of Ethics,
please contact us at (620) 241-1826, or by email at: tkliewer@sjhl.com.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
SJHL does not act as the general partner of a fund or advise an investment company. SJHL does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
SJHL allows our employees to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased
on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities, we recommend (purchase or sell) to you presents a potential
conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate through policies and procedures. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its clients can potentially 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 the fact that most trades in a client’s account are mutual funds and ETFs that present little to no
likelihood of a material conflict when purchasing the same securities.
At no time will SJHL, or any associated person of SJHL, transact in any security to the detriment of
any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Directed Brokerage
SJHL does not require or engage in directed brokerage involving our client's accounts. Clients may direct our firm to
use another broker-dealer to execute some or all transactions for their account. In these circumstances, SJHL will not
have authority to negotiate commissions or to obtain volume discounts or participate in block trades. Clients will be
responsible for negotiating, in advance, the terms and/or arrangement for their account with their selected broker
dealer. As a result, Clients may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs, experience greater spreads, or
receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for their account than would otherwise be the case.
Recommendation of Custodian[s]
SJHL does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custodial and execution
services. The Client retains the right to select the broker-dealer or custodian (herein the "custodian") to safeguard
client assets and authorize SJHL to direct trades to this custodian as agreed to in the Investment Advisory
Agreement. Further, SJHL does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of our
clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Any custodial recommendations are based on the client's need for such services.
Unless otherwise directed, the client's account will be opened and maintained at a discount brokerage firm(s)
recommended by SJHL. SJHL primarily recommends discount brokerage firms and uses Charles Schwab & Co.
Inc. as a third-party custodian for client accounts.
B. Soft Dollars
Through its relationship with FPAS, SJHL participates in Charles Schwab & Co, Inc.’s (“Schwab”) institutional
customer program and may recommend Schwab to Clients for custody and brokerage services. There is no direct
link between SJHL's participation in the program and the investment advice it gives to its clients, although SJHL
receives economic benefits through its participation in the program that are typically not available to Schwab’s
retail investors. These benefits include the following products and services (provided without cost or at a
discount): receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations; research related products and tools:
consulting services; access to a trading desk; access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate
securities transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts); the ability to
have advisory fees deducted directly from client accounts; access to an electronic communications network for
11
client order entry and account information; access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and to certain
institutional money managers; and discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice
management products or services provided to SJHL by third party vendors. Some of the products and services
made available by Schwab through the program may benefit SJHL but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These
products or services may assist SJHL in managing and administering client accounts, including accounts not
maintained at Schwab. The benefits received by SJHL or its personnel through participation in the program do
not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to Schwab. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients,
SJHL endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the
receipt of economic benefits by SJHL or its related persons in and of itself creates a conflict of interest and may
indirectly influence SJHL and FPAS’s choice of Schwab for custody and brokerage services.
Neither SJHL nor FPAS receives fees or commissions from these arrangements, nor does it derive any special
benefit (any more than any other investment adviser).
C. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
Most trades are mutual funds or exchange-traded funds where trade aggregation does not garner any client
benefit.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Investment management accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis. Reviews of clients' accounts
are generally conducted no less than annually. Reviews may be performed more frequently depending upon 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 or less 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. The client is encouraged to notify SJHL if changes occur in
the client’s personal 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 account statements no less than quarterly from the account’s custodian. These 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 statements will include all
positions, transactions and fees relating to the client’s account[s]. The Advisor will also provide clients with
periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Clients are responsible for reviewing their
accounts. Clients are urged to compare the information contained in the account statements from the custodian
with the information in any report from SJHL.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by SJHL
SJHL does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any
unrelated third party. SJHL may refer clients to various third parties to provide certain financial services necessary
to meet the goals of its clients. Likewise, SJHL may receive referrals of new clients from a third party.
B. Client Referrals
Some supervised persons of SJHL receive compensation from SJHL for referring clients to the firm.
12
Item 15 – Custody
SJHL does not accept or maintain physical custody of any client accounts. All client assets are held by an
independent qualified custodian. We may provide you with periodic reports from our firm that include investment
performance information. You are urged to carefully review and compare your account statements that you have
received directly from your custodian with any report you receive from our firm. SJHL is deemed to have
"constructive" custody of client assets because it has the authority to deduct management fees directly from
client accounts and have them paid to the Firm. Since the Firm directly debits its fees and follows the SEC's
Custody Rule safeguards, the Firm is not subject to the additional requirements of an adviser with custody.
The Firm also has constructive custody of assets to the extent it uses Standing Letters of Authorizations (“SLOAs”)
for third-party money movement. The Firm follows the SEC No Action guidance and maintains records to avoid
the need for a surprise annual audit.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
SJHL has discretion over the selection and the amount of securities to be bought or sold in client accounts without
obtaining prior consent or approval from the client. 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 an investment
advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by SJHL
will be in accordance with each client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
SJHL does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any client but will assist in answering questions relating to
proxies. However, the client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting. You will receive
proxies or other similar solicitations directly from your selected custodian or transfer agent.
Further, SJHL will have no power, authority, responsibility, or obligation to take any action with regard to any
claim or potential claim in any bankruptcy proceeding, class action securities litigation or other litigation or
proceeding relating to securities held at any time in a client account, including, without limitation, to file proofs
of claim or other documents related to such proceeding, or to investigate, initiate, supervise or monitor class
action or other litigation involving client assets.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither SJHL, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability
of SJHL to meet all obligations to its clients. Neither SJHL, nor any of its advisory persons, have been subject to
bankruptcy or financial compromise. SJHL is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure
Brochure as the Advisor does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1200 in fees per client for services
to be performed six months or more in advance.
