Jamie Sledge, the firm’s principal and managing member has been in the industry for over 25 years. Sledge and Company provides personalized wealth management and financial planning services. The firm provides financial advice to individuals, trusts, foundations, and corporations. Investment Advisory Services Investment advisory services are designed to meet the desires, objectives and needs of a particular client or entity. This process includes determining risk tolerance and an in-depth understanding of the client’s investment objectives. An investment objectives and suitability questionnaire may be used in determining the investment parameters. From the investment questionnaire, an Investment Policy Statement and/or investment directive may be compiled based on the questionnaire and discussion results. From this process an appropriate investment advisory strategy will be determined. Depending on the client’s desires, objectives and needs, we will determine which stocks, bonds, exchange- traded funds, and/or mutual funds to be utilized. Investment advisory services will generally be provided on a “discretionary” basis. When Sledge and Company is engaged to provide wealth management services on a discretionary basis, we will monitor your accounts to ensure that they are meeting your asset allocation requirements. If any changes are needed to your investments, we will make the changes. You may at any time place restrictions on the types of investments we may use on your behalf, or on the allocations to each security type. You will receive written or electronic confirmations from your account custodian after any changes are made to your account. You will also receive statements at least quarterly from your account custodian. In limited circumstances and as a courtesy to some clients, Sledge and Company may provide investment advisory services on a non-discretionary basis. When a client engages us to provide investment advisory services on a non-discretionary basis, we monitor the accounts in the same way as for discretionary services. The difference is that changes to your account will not be made until we have confirmed with you (either verbally or in writing) that our proposed change is acceptable to you. Financial Planning Financial Planning Services are based on: financial goals and objectives, cash flow, income tax liability, retirement, educational needs, estate tax and insurance requirements. After careful review, compilation and analysis of the data supplied by the client, Sledge and Company prepares a plan which includes alternative recommendations for future investment. Actual implementation is entirely at the discretion of the client which may require professional assistance. Recommendations may be in both generic and specific form. The specific recommendations may include products offered by an associated brokerage firm depending on the particular goals and objectives of the client. 4  Assets Under Management As of the date of this brochure, Sledge and Company has $183,444,585 in assets under management across 429 accounts, all of which is managed on a discretionary basis. Item 5: Fees and Compensation A. Fees Charged Investment Advisory Services All investment management clients will be required to execute an Investment Advisory Agreement that will describe the type of management services to be provided and the fees, among other items. The fee range stated is a guide. Fees are negotiable, and may be higher or lower than this range, based on the nature of the account. Factors affecting fee percentages include the size of the account, complexity of asset structures, and other factors. Please note that same or similar services may be available for a lower cost from other investment advisers. Fee schedule is as follows: Assets Under Management Annual Rate Quarterly Rate Up to $500,000 1.40% .35% $500,001 to $1,000,000 1.25% .3125% $1,000,001 to $3,000,000 1.00% .25% $3,000,001 to $10,000,000 .90% .225% $10,000,001 and above Negotiated Financial Planning Services Financial Planning services are billed on an hourly basis ranging between $125 and $300 per hour plus direct expenses incurred. The total fee is calculated by the number of hours times the hourly rate of the team member providing the service plus direct cost. Planning services may also be provided on a flat fee basis negotiated prior to providing the service. Full payment is due upon presentation of the plan. A client may terminate an agreement within five (5) business days after signing, without penalty. After the five (5) day period expires, a client may terminate a contract by written notice to adviser and will be billed for services to the date of notification. 5  B. Fee Payment Investment Advisory Services Investment Advisory fees will generally be debited directly from each client’s account. As of the date of this brochure, the advisory fees may be paid quarterly, in arrears, and the fees shall be calculated quarterly based upon the fair market value of the portfolio (priced as of the trade date, not the settlement date) of the client assets under management by Sledge and Company as of the last business day of the month of the quarter ended to be billed, applying the appropriate percentage and dividing the resulting amount by four. Clients whose fees are directly debited will provide written authorization to debit advisory fees from their accounts held by a qualified custodian chosen by the client. The client will also receive a statement from their account custodian showing all transactions in their account, including the fee. C. Other Fees There are a number of other fees that can be associated with holding and investing in securities. You will be responsible for fees including transaction fees for the purchase or sale of a mutual fund or Exchange Traded Fund, or commissions for the purchase or sale of a stock. Expenses of a fund will not be included in management fees, as they are deducted from the value of the shares by the mutual fund manager. For complete discussion of expenses related to each mutual fund, you should read a copy of the prospectus issued by that fund. Sledge and Company can provide or direct you to a copy of the prospectus for any fund that we recommend to you. Sledge and Company may utilize external money managers, exchange traded funds, mutual funds and other investment options. These investment options have related expenses which are not included in the advisory fee. Please make sure to read Item 12 of this informational brochure, where we discuss broker-dealer and custodial issues. D. Pro-rata Fees If you become a client during a billing cycle you will pay a management fee for the number of days left in that cycle. You may terminate the Investment Management Agreement by providing written notice to Sledge and Company Once your notice of termination is received, we will charge the fee through the date of transfer of your assets. Sledge and Company will cease to perform services, including processing trades and distributions, upon termination. Assets not transferred from terminated accounts within 30 (thirty) days of termination may become a retail account with the custodian. E. Compensation for the Sale of Securities To permit Sledge and Company clients to have access to as many investment solutions as possible, certain professionals of Sledge and Company are registered representatives Capital Investment Group, Inc. (CIG) a FINRA member broker-dealer. The relationship with CIG allows these professionals to provide additional products to clients’ portfolios that would not otherwise be available. Because CIG supervises the activities of 6  these professionals as registered representatives of CIG, the relationship may be deemed material. However, CIG is not affiliated with Sledge and Company or considered a related party. CIG does not make investment decisions for client accounts. Registered representative status enables these professionals to receive customary commissions for the sales of various securities, including those he recommends to clients. Commissions charged for these products will not offset management fees owed to Sledge and Company. Receipt of commissions for investment products that are recommended to clients gives rise to a conflict of interest for the representative, in that the individual who will receive the commissions is also the individual that is recommending that the client purchase a given product. This conflict is disclosed to clients verbally and in this brochure. Clients are advised that they may choose to implement any investment recommendation through another broker-dealer that is not affiliated with Sledge and Company. Sledge and Company attempts to mitigate this conflict by requiring that all investment recommendations have a sound basis for the recommendation, and by requiring employees to acknowledge their fiduciary responsibility toward each client. Item 6: Performance Based Fees Fees will not be based upon a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of your accounts (otherwise known as “performance-based fees”). Item 7: Types of Clients Clients advised may include individuals, families, retirement accounts, trusts, foundations, and corporations. Sledge and Company requires each client seeking investment management services to place at least $500,000 with us. We may waive this account minimum under certain circumstances, in our discretion. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss It is important for you to know and remember that all investments carry risks. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. The specific securities we recommend for your account will depend on market conditions and our research at the time. Generally, we recommend a mix of mutual funds, index funds, exchange traded funds, stocks, bonds and options. Specific funds are chosen based on where its investment objective fits into the asset allocation recommended by Sledge and Company, its risk parameters, past performance, peer rankings, fees, expenses, and any other aspects of the fund Sledge and Company deems relevant to that particular fund. We base our conclusions on predominantly publicly available research, such as regulatory filings, press releases, competitor analyses, and in some cases research we receive from our custodian or other market analyses, including Monte Carlo analysis. We will also utilize technical analyses, which means that we will review the past behaviors of the security and the markets in which it trades for signals as to what might happen in the future. 7  Each client’s portfolio will be invested according to that client’s investment objectives. We determine these objectives by interviewing the client and/or asking the client to put these objectives in writing. Once we ascertain your objectives for each account, we will develop a set of asset allocation guidelines. Because we develop an investment strategy based on your personal situation and financial goals, your guidelines may be similar to or different from another client’s. We will periodically recommend securities transactions in your portfolio to meet the guidelines of the asset allocation strategy. It is important to remember that because market conditions can vary greatly, your guidelines are not necessarily strict rules. Rather, we review accounts individually, and may deviate from the guidelines as we believe necessary. There are always risks to investing. Clients should be aware that all investments carry various types of risk including the potential loss of principal that clients should be prepared to bear. It is impossible to name all possible types of risks. Among the risks are the following: • Political Risks. Most investments have a global component, even domestic stocks. Political events anywhere in the world may have unforeseen consequences to markets around the world. • General Market Risks. Markets can, as a whole, go up or down on various news releases or for no understandable reason at all. This sometimes means that the price of specific securities could go up or down without real reason, and may take some time to recover any lost value. Adding additional securities does not help to minimize this risk since all securities may be affected by market fluctuations. • Currency Risk. When investing in another country using another currency, the changes in the value of the currency can change the value of your security value in your portfolio. • Regulatory Risk. Changes in laws and regulations from any government can change the value of a given company and its accompanying securities. Certain industries are more susceptible to government regulation. Changes in zoning, tax structure or laws impact the return on these investments. • Tax Risks Related to Short Term Trading: Clients should note that Sledge and Company may engage in short-term trading transactions. These transactions may result in short term gains or losses for federal and state tax purposes, which may be taxed at a higher rate than long term strategies. Sledge and Company endeavors to invest client assets in a tax efficient manner, but all clients are advised to consult with their tax professionals regarding the transactions in client accounts. • Risks Related to Investment Term. Securities do not follow a straight line up in value. All securities will have periods of time when the current price of the security is not an accurate measure of its value. If you require us to liquidate your portfolio during one of these periods, you will not realize as much value as you would have had the investment had the opportunity to regain its value. • Purchasing Power Risk. Purchasing power risk is the risk that your investment’s value will decline as the price of goods rises (inflation). The investment’s value itself does not decline, but its relative value does, which is the same thing. Inflation can happen for a variety of complex reasons, including a growing economy and a rising money supply. • Business Risk. This can be thought of as certainty or uncertainty of income. Management comes under business risk. Cyclical companies (like automobile companies) have more business risk because of the less steady income stream. On the other hand, fast food chains tend to have steadier income streams and therefore, less business risk. • Financial Risk. The amount of debt or leverage determines the financial risk of a company. • Default Risk. This risk pertains to the ability of a company to service their debt. Ratings provided by 8  several rating services help to identify those companies with more risk. Obligations of the U.S. government are said to be free of default risk. • REITs: A REIT is an entity, typically a trust or corporation that accepts investments from a number of investors, pools the money, and then uses that money to invest in real estate through either actual property purchases or mortgage loans. While there are some benefits to owning REITs, which include potential tax benefits, income, and the relatively low barrier to invest in real estate as compared to directly investing in real estate, REITs also have some increased risks as compared to more traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. First, real estate investing can be highly volatile. Second, the specific REIT chosen may have a focus such as commercial real estate or real estate in a given location. • MLPs: An MLP is a publicly traded entity that is designed to provide tax benefits for the investor. In order to preserve these benefits, the MLP must derive most, if not all, of its income from real estate, natural resources, and commodities. While MLPs may add diversification and tax favored treatment to a client’s portfolio, they also carry significant risks beyond more traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. One such risk is management risk-the success of the MLP is dependent upon the manager’s experience and judgment in selecting investments for the MLP. Another risk is the governance structure, which means the rules under which the entity is run. • International Investing: Investing outside of the United States, especially in emerging markets, can have special or enhanced risks. The most obvious are political risk (changes in local politics can have a vast impact on the markets in that country as well as regulations affecting given issuers) and currency risk (changes in exchange rates between the dollar and the local denominations can materially affect the value of the security even if the underlying fundamentals and market price are stagnant). There are other risks, including enhanced liquidity risk, meaning that while domestic equities and mutual funds are generally easily liquidated (though there may be a risk of loss due to the timing of the sale), equities in other jurisdictions may be subject to the circumstances of lower overall market volume and fewer companies on an emerging exchange. In addition, there may be less information and less transparency in a foreign market or from a foreign company. Foreign markets impose different rules than domestic markets, which may not be to an investor's advantage. Also, companies in foreign jurisdictions are generally able to avail themselves of local laws and venues, meaning that legal remedies for U.S. investors may not be as easily obtained as in the U.S. • Annuities: Annuities can have many complex features and clauses. In particular, annuity values and income may be impacted by the financial condition of the issuer. Item 9: Disciplinary Information There are no disciplinary items to report. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations A. Broker-dealer Neither the principal of Sledge and Company nor any related persons are registered, or have an application pending to register, as a broker dealer. As more fully discussed in Item 5E, certain professionals associated with Sledge and Company are registered representatives of a broker-dealer. 9  B. Futures Commission Merchant/Commodity Trading Advisor Neither Mr. Sledge nor any related persons are registered, or have an application pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities. C. Relationship with Related Persons Certain professionals of Sledge and Company are separately licensed as independent insurance agents. As such, these professionals may conduct insurance product transactions for Sledge and Company clients, in their capacity as licensed insurance agents, and will receive customary commissions for these transactions in addition to any compensation received in their capacity as employees of Sledge and Company. Commissions from the sale of insurance products will not be used to offset or as a credit against advisory fees. These professionals therefore have incentive to recommend insurance products based on the compensation to be received, rather than on a client’s needs. The receipt of additional fees for insurance commissions is therefore a conflict of interest, and clients should be aware of this conflict when considering whether to engage Sledge and Company or utilize these professionals to implement any insurance recommendations. Sledge and Company attempts to mitigate this conflict of interest by disclosing the conflict to clients, and informing the clients that they are always free to purchase insurance products through other agents that are not affiliated with Sledge and Company, or to determine not to purchase the insurance product at all. Sledge and Company also attempts to mitigate the conflict of interest by requiring employees to acknowledge in the firm’s Code of Ethics, their individual fiduciary duty to the clients of Sledge and Company, which requires that employees put the interests of clients ahead of their own. The Managing Member of Sledge and Company (Jamie Sledge) is also the Senior Partner of an accounting firm, Sledge and Company, PLLC (CPA Firm). The CPA Firm may recommend Sledge and Company to accounting clients in need of investment advisory and financial planning services. Sledge and Company may recommend the CPA Firm to advisory clients in need of accounting services. Accounting services provided by the CPA Firm are separate and distinct from the advisory services of Sledge and Company and are provided under a separate engagement and for typical compensation. No Sledge and Company client is obligated to use the CPA Firm for any accounting services. The CPA Firm accounting services do not include the authority to sign checks or otherwise disburse funds on the behalf of any Sledge and Company advisory clients. The CPA Firm provides certain administrative and clerical services to Sledge and Company, and receives reasonable compensation related to the cost of such services. D. Recommendations of Other Advisers We may recommend that you use a third party adviser or money manager based on your needs and suitability. We do not, however, receive compensation from the money manager for recommending that you use their services. You are not obligated, contractually or otherwise, to use the services of any money manager we may recommend. 10  Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A copy of our Code of Ethics is available upon request. Our Code of Ethics includes discussions of A. our fiduciary duty to clients, political contributions, gifts, entertainment, and trading guidelines. Not applicable. Sledge and Company does not recommend to clients that they invest in any security B. in which Sledge and Company, or any principal thereof has any financial interest. C. On occasion, an employee of Sledge and Company may purchase for his or her own account securities which are also recommended for clients. Our Code of Ethics details rules for employees regarding personal trading and avoiding conflicts of interest related to trading in one’s own account. To avoid placing a trade before a client (in the case of a purchase) or after a client (in the case of a sale), all employee trades must be reviewed by the Compliance Officer. All employee trades must either take place in the same block as a client trade or sufficiently apart in time from the client trade so the employee receives no added benefit. Employee statements are reviewed to confirm compliance with the trading procedures. D. On occasion, an employee of Sledge and Company may purchase for his or her own account securities which are also recommended for clients at the same time the clients purchase the securities. Our Code of Ethics details rules for employees regarding personal trading and avoiding conflicts of interest related to trading in one’s own account. To avoid placing a trade before a client (in the case of a purchase) or after a client (in the case of a sale), all employee trades must be reviewed by the Compliance Officer. All employee trades must either take place in the same block as a client trade or sufficiently apart in time from the client trade so the employee receives no added benefit. Employee statements are reviewed to confirm compliance with the trading procedures. Item 12: Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Broker-Dealer Sledge and Company utilizes SEI Private Trust Company ("SEI") as its primary custodian and generally recommend this custodian to clients. SEI offers to independent investment advisors services which include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance, and settlement of transactions. We receive some benefits through participation in these programs. Benefits provided to our firm may include, but are not limited to, market information and administrative services that help our firm manage your account(s). We believe that the recommended custodians and broker- dealers provide quality execution services for our clients at competitive prices. Price is not the sole factor we consider in evaluating best execution. We also consider the quality of the services provided by recommended custodians, including the value of the firm's reputation, execution capabilities, custodial fees, and responsiveness to our clients and our firm. In recognition of the value of the services recommended custodians provide, you may pay higher custodial fees than those that may be available elsewhere. In selecting or recommending a custodian and broker-dealer, we will consider the value of research and additional brokerage products and services a broker-dealer has provided or will provide to our clients and our firm. Receipt of these additional brokerage products and services are not considered to have been paid for 11  with "soft dollars." Directed Brokerage Sledge and Company allows clients to direct brokerage in most circumstances. Sledge and Company may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of client transactions if clients choose to direct brokerage. This may cost clients money because without the ability to direct brokerage Sledge and Company may not be able to aggregate orders to reduce transactions costs resulting in higher brokerage commissions and less favorable prices. Not all investment advisers allow their clients to direct brokerage. Item 13: Review of Accounts All accounts will be reviewed by a senior professional on at least an annual basis. However, it is expected that market conditions, changes in a particular client’s account, or changes to a client’s circumstances will trigger a review of accounts. All clients will receive statements directly from SEI, please refer to Item 15 regarding custody. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Economic Benefit Provided by Third Parties for Advice Rendered to Client. Please refer to Item 12, where we discuss recommendation of Broker-Dealers. B. Compensation to Non-Advisory Personnel for Client Referrals. We may engage independent solicitors to provide client referrals. When a client is referred to us by a solicitor, this practice is disclosed to the client in writing by the solicitor and the Advisor pays the solicitor out of its own funds—specifically, the Advisor generally pays the solicitor a portion of the advisory fees earned for managing the capital of the client or investor that was referred. The use of solicitors is strictly regulated under applicable federal and state law. The Advisor’s policy is to fully comply with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-3, under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and similar state rules, as applicable. Item 15: Custody There are two avenues through which Sledge and Company may have custody of client funds; by directly debiting its fees from client accounts pursuant to applicable agreements granting such right, and potentially by permitting clients to sign standing letters of authorization (“SLOAs”). SLOAs permit a client to sign one document that directs Sledge and Company to make distributions out of the client’s account(s). Clients whose fees are directly debited will provide written authorization to debit advisory fees from their accounts held by a qualified custodian chosen by the client. The client will also receive a statement from their account custodian showing all transactions in their account, including the fee. 12  We encourage clients to carefully review the statements and confirmations sent to them by their custodian. Please alert us of any discrepancies. Item 16: Investment Discretion Asset management services will generally be provided on a “discretionary” basis. When Sledge and Company is engaged to provide asset management services on a discretionary basis, we will monitor your accounts to ensure that they are meeting your asset allocation requirements. If any changes are needed to your investments, we will make the changes. These changes may involve selling a security or group of investments and buying others or keeping the proceeds in cash. You may at any time place restrictions on the types of investments we may use on your behalf, or on the allocations to each security type. You will also receive statements at least quarterly from your account custodian. Clients engaging us on a discretionary basis will be asked to execute a Limited Power of Attorney (granting us the discretionary authority over the client accounts) as well as an Investment Management Agreement that outlines the responsibilities of both the client and Sledge and Company. Item 17: Voting Client Securities Copies of our Proxy Voting Policies are available upon request. From time to time, shareholders of stocks, mutual funds, exchange traded funds or other securities may be permitted to vote on various types of corporate actions. Examples of these actions include mergers, tender offers, or board elections. Clients are required to vote proxies related to their investments, or to choose not to vote their proxies. Sledge and Company will not accept authority to vote client securities. Clients will receive their proxies directly from the custodian for the client account. Sledge and Company will not give clients advice on how to vote proxies. Item 18: Financial Information A. Sledge and Company does not require the prepayment of fees more than six (6) months or more in advance and therefore has not provided a balance sheet with this brochure. B. There are no material financial circumstances or conditions that would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to meet our contractual obligations to our clients. C. Sledge and Company has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years. 13
