Item 4. Advisory Business
Smithbridge Asset Management, Inc, (“Smithbridge”) established in January,1997, is an independent
investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) based in Chadds
Ford, Pennsylvania. As an SEC registered advisor, Smithbridge is subject to a fiduciary standard in
our relationship with clients. This means that we are obligated to put the interests of our clients first
and that investment decisions must be in our client’s best interest. Smithbridge has been registered
with the SEC since 1997. The firm is organized as a Sub-chapter S corporation formed under the laws
of the State of Delaware. Jonathan F. Kolle, CFA® and Shawn R. Keane, CFP® are the principal
shareholders.
Our primary focus is providing financial planning and managing investments for individuals, trusts,
estates, charitable organizations, profit sharing and pension plans and endowment funds. Smithbridge
is committed to disciplined investment management, financial planning, and personalized service. We
manage each client’s account individually, according to the client’s particular goals and guidelines.
Client portfolios may include individual stocks, bonds, real estate investment trusts (REITS), mutual
funds, master limited partnerships (MLPs), certificates of deposit (CD’s) and exchange traded funds
(ETFs). As of December 31, 2024, we managed a total of $665,788,590 in client assets of which
$649,996,677 were discretionary assets and $15,791,913 were nondiscretionary assets.
Financial Planning
Financial planning is a comprehensive evaluation of a client’s current and future financial state by
using currently known variables to predict future cash flows, asset values and withdrawal plans.
The key defining aspect of financial planning is the consideration of all questions, information, and
analysis as they impact and are impacted by the entire financial and life situation of the client.
Clients purchasing this service will receive a written or an electronic report, providing the client
with a detailed financial plan designed to achieve his or her stated financial goals and objectives.
The client always has the right to decide whether to act upon our recommendations. If the client
elects to act on any of the recommendations, the client always has the right to affect the transactions
through anyone of their choosing.
In general, the financial plan may address any of the following areas of concern. The client and
advisor will work together to select the specific areas to cover.
• Business Planning: We provide consulting services for clients who currently operate their
own businesses, are considering starting a business, or are planning for an exit from their
current business. Under this type of engagement, we work with you to assess your current
situation, identify your objectives, and develop a plan aimed at achieving your goals.
• Cash Flow and Debt Management: We will conduct a review of your income and
expenses to determine your current surplus or deficit along with advice on prioritizing how
any surplus should be used or how to reduce expenses if they exceed your income. Advice
may also be provided on which debts to pay off first based on factors such as the interest
rate of the debt and any income tax ramifications. We may also recommend what we believe
to be an appropriate cash reserve that should be considered for emergencies and other
financial goals, along with a review of accounts (such as money market funds) for such
reserves, plus strategies to save desired amounts.
4 | P a g e
• College Savings: Includes projecting the amount that will be needed to achieve college or
other post-secondary education funding goals, along with advice on ways for you to save
the desired amount. Recommendations for savings strategies are included, and, if needed,
we will review your financial picture in relation to financial aid eligibility or assess the best
way to contribute to plans for children or grandchildren (if appropriate).
• Employee Benefits Optimization: We will provide review and analysis as to whether you,
as an employee, are taking the maximum advantage possible of your employee benefits. If
you are a business owner, we will consider and/or recommend the various benefit programs
that can be structured to meet both business and personal retirement goals.
• Estate Planning: This usually includes an analysis of your exposure to estate taxes and your
current estate plan, which may include whether you have a will, powers of attorney, trusts,
and other related documents. Our advice typically includes ways for you to minimize or
avoid future estate taxes by implementing appropriate estate planning strategies such as the
use of applicable trusts. We always recommend that you consult with a qualified attorney
when you initiate, update, or complete estate planning activities. We may provide you with
contact information for attorneys who specialize in estate planning when you wish to hire an
attorney for such purposes. From time-to-time, we will participate in meetings or phone calls
between you and your attorney with your approval or request.
• Financial Goals: We will help clients identify financial goals and develop a plan to reach
them. We will identify what you plan to accomplish, what resources you will need to make
it happen, how much time you will need to reach the goal, and how much you should
budget for your goal.
• Insurance: We will review existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health,
disability, long-term care, liability, home, and automobile.
• Investment Analysis: This may involve developing an asset allocation strategy to meet
clients’ financial goals and risk tolerance, providing information on investment vehicles
and strategies, reviewing employee stock options, as well as assisting you in establishing
your own investment account at a selected broker/dealer or custodian. The strategies and
types of investments we may recommend are further discussed in Item 8 of this brochure.
• Retirement Planning: Our retirement planning services typically include projections of
your likelihood of achieving your financial goals, with focusing on financial independence
as the primary objective. For situations where projections show less than the desired results,
we may make recommendations, including those that may impact the original projections
by adjusting certain variables (e.g., working longer, saving more, spending less, taking
more risk with investments). If you are near retirement or already retired, advice may be
given on appropriate distribution strategies to minimize the likelihood of running out of
money or having to adversely alter spending during your retirement years.
• Risk Management: A risk management review includes an analysis of your exposure to
major risks that could have a significantly adverse effect on your financial picture, such as
premature death, disability, property and casualty losses, or the need for long‐term care
5 | P a g e
planning. Advice may be provided on ways to minimize such risks and about weighing the
costs of purchasing insurance versus the benefits of doing so and, likewise, the potential
cost of not purchasing insurance (“self‐insuring”).
• Tax Planning Strategies: Advice may include ways to minimize current and future
income taxes as a part of your overall financial planning picture. For example, we may
make recommendations on which type of account(s) or specific investments should be
owned based in part on their “tax efficiency,” with consideration that there is always a
possibility of future changes to federal, state, or local tax laws and rates that may affect
your situation.
We recommend that you consult with a qualified tax professional before initiating any tax
planning strategy, and we may provide you with contact information for accountants or
attorneys who specialize in this area if you wish to hire someone for such purposes. We
will participate in meetings or phone calls between you and your tax professional with your
approval.
Portfolio Management
Individual Portfolio Management
Smithbridge is an investment advisor that utilizes individual stocks, bonds, real estate investment
trusts (REITS), mutual funds, master limited partnerships (MLPs), certificates of deposit (CD’s) and
exchange traded funds (ETFs). We believe in mitigating risk through diversified portfolios of
high-quality securities and carefully considered asset allocation for each client. In managing
equities, discipline and continuity are key concepts. The same process of equity evaluation is always
used, and that process is heavily influenced by fundamental factors. The investment process for
equity portfolios concentrates on large capitalization stocks primarily of U.S. corporations. These
companies tend to have global business models and long operating
track records. Shares of
foreign companies listed on U.S. exchanges (ADRs) are also used and may be up to 25% of
the portfolio. Smithbridge may also include actively managed mutual funds in the portfolio if it
serves the client’s interest. Individual bonds and bond ETFs are utilized, with various maturities
and usually relatively short average duration. Bonds of investment grade are emphasized.
Depending on the tax status of the client or type of account, municipal bonds may be utilized. ETFs
are used for further diversifying the portfolios and exposure to additional asset classes.
Comprehensive ETF portfolios are used to provide extensive diversification for clients who do not
need or want individual stocks or bonds. Multiple combinations of equity and fixed income ETFs
are used to match the client’s risk tolerance and liquidity needs with the expected performance of
the portfolio.
We work with individual clients to determine their proper risk tolerance and asset allocation.
Smithbridge manages taxable client portfolios in a tax efficient manner. Clients may impose
restrictions on investments in specific securities and types of
securities. Each client has an
individualized written investment goals and guidelines statement that is reviewed annually. We
encourage personal meetings with clients at least once a year.
6 | P a g e
MODEL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Our firm also provides portfolio management services to clients using model asset allocation
portfolios. Each model portfolio is designed to invest in a specific strategy using a defined
investment style to mirror the investment strategies offered to clients in individual investment
accounts.
These model portfolio management services are offered through unaffiliated brokerage or advisor-
based investment platforms under separate contract in which Smithbridge Asset Management
participates.
Unaffiliated Investment Consultants and Financial Advisors use these platforms to offer the model
portfolios provided by Smithbridge Asset Management and other investment managers to their
clients. These consultants and advisors tailor the selection of the model portfolios through personal
discussions with the client in which the client's goals and objectives are established. The consultant
or advisor determines if the model portfolio is suitable to the client's circumstances, and once they
determine the suitability of the portfolio, the portfolio is managed based on the portfolio's goal,
rather than on each client's individual needs. Clients, nevertheless, have the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their account at the individual
account level. Clients retain individual ownership of all securities.
MUTUAL FUND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Smithbridge Asset Management also provides investment services to Manor Investment Funds (the
"Mutual Funds"), a series of mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Smithbridge Asset Management serves as the investment manager to the Mutual Fund, and
continuously manages the fund assets based on the investment goals and objectives as outlined in
the Mutual Fund's prospectus.
Interested investors should refer to the Mutual Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information ("SAI") for important information regarding objectives, investments, time-horizon,
risks,
fees, and additional disclosures. These documents are available on-line at
https://smithbridgeasset.com/manor-fund.
Prior to making any investment in the funds, investors and prospective investors should carefully
review these documents for a comprehensive understanding of the terms and conditions applicable
for investment in the Mutual Funds.
7 | P a g e
Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Smithbridge is compensated for our advisory services by clients paying a fee based on a percentage
of assets under management. Management fees are negotiable and may vary depending on
individual client circumstances. Clients are invoiced quarterly, based on the market value of their
assets under management, as of the end of the previous quarter. Clients may be billed in advance
or quarterly in arrears depending on their original contract. Previous clients of Morris Capital
Advisors, LLC (Morris) are generally billed in arrears. Clients will receive a quarterly statement from
their custodian showing the deduction of the management fees.
Smithbridge typically charges fees on a tiered schedule, and it is generally our practice to aggregate
individual client accounts for the purpose of fee calculation if total assets exceed one million dollars.
For example, if a client has both a retirement account and an individual non-qualified investment
account, we will combine the two for billing purposes. Our standard fee schedule starts at one percent
(1.00%) for he first one million dollars of assets under management and is charged according to the
following schedule:
Assets Under Management
Fee
First $1,000,000
Second $1,000,000
Next $3,000,000
Over $5,000,000
1.00%
0.75%
0.60%
Negotiable
Smithbridge purchased the assets of Morris as of December 31 2021. Fees charged to Morris’s clients
may differ from other Smithbridge clients based on their original contract. Clients previously managed
by Morris are typically charges fees in arrears. Smithbridge fees also differ based on the individual
strategy the client’s assets are invested in as well as the total assets in the account. Former Morris fees
are based on the following schedule:
INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES ("ISS")
INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT FEES
The annualized fee for Investment Supervisory Services is typically charged as a percentage of
assets under management, according to the following schedule:
For portfolios invested in individual equity securities:
1.250% annually on assets up to $250,000
1.125% annually on assets from $250,000 to $500,000
1.000% annually on assets over $500,000.
For portfolios invested in the Diversified Income Strategy of mutual funds, ETF’s,
REITs, and MLP’s:
0.25% annually on assets under management.
For portfolios invested in individual bonds, or mutual funds:
0.625% annually on assets under management.
8 | P a g e
MODEL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT FEES
Our annual fees for Model Portfolio Management Services are based upon a percentage of assets
under management and generally range from 0.25% to 0.75%, contingent upon the model portfolio
strategy and the offering investment platform.
Individual clients are invoiced in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter based upon the value
(market value or fair market value in the absence of market value, plus any credit balance or minus
any debit balance), of the client's account at the end of the previous quarter. Fees on accounts managed
for periods of less than a full quarter will be prorated based on the actual number of days managed.
MUTUAL FUND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT FEES
Smithbridge Asset Management charges an asset-based fee for this service. The fee arrangement,
termination, and refund policies are described in the Mutual Fund's prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information ("SAI").
Portfolio management clients of our firm who also invest in mutual funds offered through Manor
Investment Funds, Inc. will pay only those fees charged to investors by the Mutual Fund, i.e., the
value of the client's investment in the Mutual Fund is excluded from our quarterly portfolio
management fee calculation.
General Information
While it is the general policy of Smithbridge to charge fee to its clients in accordance with the fee
schedules stated above, all fees are subject to negotiation and may differ from the stated schedule due
to specific client circumstances or factors specific to an individual account. For example, fees may
differ from the stated schedule because of length of relationship, complexity of the client, additional
fees charged to the account by outside parties, anticipated changes in amounts managed for the client,
employee related accounts, specific account investment restrictions or investment strategy, changing
market conditions or other reasons related to individual accounts.
Clients are also advised that certain securities held in their portfolios may have their own internal
charges which are in addition to the management fee charged by Smithbridge. Examples of securities
with internal expenses are mutual funds, closed end mutual funds, ETFs, and Real Estate Investment
Trusts (REITs). Also, custodians such as banks and brokerage firms, may charge fees for their services.
Costs for these services will also be in addition to Smithbridge’s management fee and will be charged
by the custodian in accordance with the agreements between the client and the custodian.
Clients participating in separately managed account and wrap fee programs may be charged various
program fees in addition to the advisory fee charged by our firm. Such fees may include the
investment advisory fees of the independent advisers, which may be charged as part of a wrap fee
arrangement. In a wrap fee arrangement, clients pay a single fee for advisory, brokerage and
custodial services.
Client’s portfolio transactions may be executed without commission charge in a wrap fee
arrangement. In evaluating such an arrangement, the client should also consider that, depending
upon the level of the wrap fee charged by the broker-dealer, the amount of portfolio activity in the
9 | P a g e
client’s account, and other factors, the wrap fee may or may not exceed the aggregate cost of such
services if they were to be provided separately.
We will review with clients any separate program fees that may be charged to clients.
At the election of the client, we may either invoice their custodian to have the fee paid directly
from the client’s account or we will invoice the client. When the management fee is paid directly
from the client’s account, we remind the client to verify the accuracy of the fee calculation since
their custodian may not.
Upon written termination by the client of advisory services provided by Smithbridge, any prepaid,
unearned fees will be promptly refunded. The dollar amount of the fee refunded is the product of
the fee charged for the calendar quarter in which the client terminates the relationship times the
percentage of the days left in the calendar quarter from the termination date to the end of the quarter.
Financial Planning Fixed Fee
Financial Planning will generally be offered on a fixed fee basis. The fixed fee will be agreed
upon before the start of any work. The fixed fee can range between $500.00 and $10,000.00. The
fee is negotiable. If a fixed fee program is chosen, half of the fee is due at the beginning of process
and the remainder is due at completion of work, however, Smithbridge will not bill an amount
above $500.00 more than 6 months in advance. In the event of early termination, before the
delivery of the financial plan, the client will be given a full refund, minus any hours worked at the
rate of $150.00 per hour.
Other Financial Activities
Associated persons of Smithbridge are licensed to sell insurance products and are entitled to receive
commissions, bonuses and sales incentives based on the sale of these products. Smithbridge does not
receive any fees for these specific products.
Additional Fees and Expenses
Smithbridge does not accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products,
including asset-based sales charges or service fees for the sale of mutual funds. Mutual fund fees
generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and possibly a distribution fee. These
fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. If the fund also imposes sales charges,
a client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge.
Clients should be aware that they will be responsible for additional fees and expenses incurred
from custodians and brokerages, such as, custodian and transaction fees, and commissions. For
more discussion of commissions and brokerage expenses please see Item 12.
All fees paid to Smithbridge for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
fees and expenses charged by mutual funds, brokerage firms and custodians.
Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-By Side Management
Smithbridge does not charge performance-based fees.
10 | P a g e
Item 7. Types of Clients
Smithbridge has experience in managing accounts for individuals (both high net worth and non-high
net worth, retirement plans, state or municipal government agencies, corporate assets, investment
companies (including mutual funds) charitable organizations, foundations, and endowments. While
we have no set minimum account size, the size of the account may determine the type of securities
held in that account.
Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing
client assets:
Fundamental Analysis. We attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security by looking at
economic and financial factors (including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the
financial condition and management of the company itself) to determine if the company is
underpriced (indicating it may be a good time to buy) or overpriced (indicating it may be time to
sell).
Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents a potential
risk, as the price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market regardless of the
economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the stock.
Quantitative Analysis. We use mathematical models in an attempt to obtain more accurate
measurements of a company’s quantifiable data, such as the value of share price or earnings per
share and predict changes to that data.
A risk in using quantitative analysis is that the models used may be based on assumptions that prove
to be incorrect.
At Smithbridge, stock portfolios are invested in high quality issues with well established businesses.
Portfolios are diversified, not only in terms of the number of stocks, but also of economic sectors.
Typically, a portfolio will hold between 25 and 30 stocks, with representation in eight to ten different
economic sectors. The primary methodology that Smithbridge uses to select securities is fundamental
analysis. This includes an in-depth review of the company’s financial statements and the evaluation
of its businesses and product lines. Only stocks that, in the estimation of the portfolio managers,
represent acceptable risk, offer the opportunity for capital gains, provide dividend income, and
increase portfolio diversification, are eligible for purchase. Holdings typically exhibit records of
historic earnings growth and profitability, as well as a high degree of consistency. Stocks which are
extremely expensive relative to the overall market in the opinion of the portfolio managers are
generally avoided. Stocks are continuously monitored and are eliminated when the fundamental
reasons for owning them no longer exist. Smithbridge portfolios usually have lower turnover than
typical managed portfolios. We believe that this not only lowers costs but also minimizes tax
liabilities.
Bond holdings are selected with safety and liquidity in mind, in addition to return. Bonds with
11 | P a g e
investment grade ratings are heavily emphasized. Maturities are selected in accordance with
client objectives, but with a bias toward short and intermediate maturities. Selections are
influenced by the structure of the yield curve at any point in time, as well as the differential in
yields between various market sectors.
In most portfolios both equities and bonds are purchased. The target of the mix is the product of
an assessment of the client’s needs in terms of risk averseness, need for capital growth or
preservation, and income. These factors are reviewed with the client periodically to determine if
the asset allocation is still appropriate. Smithbridge believes that asset allocation is the key to the
investment process and that adding bonds, even in relatively small amounts, significantly reduces
portfolio risk.
Smithbridge may use exchange traded funds (ETFs) in portfolios to increase diversification or obtain
exposure to certain stock market sectors or asset classes. Overall, this reduces risk in the portfolios by
adding diversification even though ETFs are subject to the same market risks as other investment
classes. ETFs issued and managed by large and experienced managers are emphasized. Some
portfolios may hold only ETFs. The EFTs used are selected and monitored by the Investment Policy
Committee of Smithbridge Asset Management.
Investing in stocks and bonds can involve substantial risks. Even though Smithbridge’s investment
strategy attempts to minimize the risks of investing, the risk of capital loss is still significant.
Individual stocks are subject to not only the business performance of the issuing company, but
also the economic climate in general. At any time, stock prices may vary by large amounts due
to various factors. Bonds, even though they carry lower risk than stocks due to their contractual
obligations, also involve investment risk. Bond prices may change dramatically due to changes in
interest or inflation or a change in the financial health of the issuer, among other things.
Item 9. Disciplinary Information
Smithbridge, or any of its’ owners, officers or employees has never had any legal or disciplinary
events.
Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
No Smithbridge employee is registered, or has an application pending to register, as a broker-dealer
or a registered representative of a broker-dealer. No Smithbridge employee is registered, or has an
application pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator or a
commodity trading advisor. Smithbridge only receives compensation directly from clients.
Shawn Richard Keane and Cynthia De Sainte Maresville are licensed to sell fixed annuities and life
and health insurance and may engage in product sales with our clients, for which they will receive
additional compensation. Any commissions received through life or health insurance sales do not
offset advisory fees the client may pay for advisory services under Smithbridge Asset Management,
Inc.
Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors
Smithbridge refers clients to other investment advisers to manage their accounts. In such
12 | P a g e
circumstances, Smithbridge may share in the other investment adviser’s asset management fee.
This situation could create a conflict of interest. However, when referring clients to another
investment adviser, the client’s best interest and suitability of the other investment advisers will be
the main determining factors for Smithbridge. The Investment Policy Committee of Smithbridge
Asset Management reviews performance, costs, adherence to investment goals and risk assessment
of any third-party adviser. This relationship is disclosed to the client at the commencement of
the advisory relationship. Clients are not obligated, contractually or otherwise, to use the services
of any other investment advisers we recommend. Additionally, Smithbridge will only recommend
another investment adviser who is properly licensed or registered as an investment advisor. These
other investment advisers currently include, but not limited to, Morningstar Investment Services
LLC, and Brinker Capital, Inc. For these relationships, the Smithbridge fee that is agreed to by the
client is charged to the client account at that institution and then remitted to Smithbridge from that
advisor.
Mutual Fund:
Smithbridge is the investment adviser to Manor Investment Funds, an investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We are related to the Mutual Fund through common
control. Please refer to these items for a detailed explanation of this relationship and important
conflict of interest disclosures.
For additional information, the Fund Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information are
available on-line at: https://smithbridgeasset.com/manor-fund. Prospective investors should review
these documents carefully before making any investment in the Mutual Fund.
Affiliations
As of December 31, 2024, Smithbridge Asset Management, Inc. purchased the assets of Bassett
Hargrove Investment Counsel, LLC, LLC (“Bassett Hargrove’) an independent registered investment
advisor. David Hargrove is the sole owner of Bassett Hargrove which was formed in 2011by the
merger of two independent investment advisory firms, The Bassett Group, LLC and Tucker Hargrove
Management, Inc. Bassett Hargrove had roughly 35 client relationships and $95 million in assets
under management as of year-end 2024. Bassett Hargrove will operate as a separately registered
investment advisory firm during 2025..
Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
Smithbridge has established a Code of Ethics requiring all supervised persons to comply with all
applicable federal and state securities laws. The code requires that all employees comply with all
the firm’s policies and procedures, which were developed to prevent violations of securities laws.
The code expresses our fundamental duty, as an investment advisor, as fiduciary to our clients,
and the obligation of always placing the interest of the clients first. It also covers client
confidentiality, conflicts of interest, insider trading and personal securities transactions. Each
Smithbridge employee certifies that they have received and reviewed the Code of Ethics.
13 | P a g e
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available upon request.
Investment Advice Relating to Retirement Accounts
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. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investments recommendations (give
prudent advice),
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice),
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments,
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest,
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
In addition, and as required by this rule, we provide information regarding the services that we
provide to you, and any material conflicts of interest, in this brochure and in your client agreement.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Smithbridge and its related persons do not recommend to or invest for its clients in securities in which
we have any material financial interests.
Smithbridge and its related persons, however, may invest in securities identical to those
recommended to our clients. Smithbridge concludes, since the vast majority of our clients’
holdings are broadly held and widely traded, that most of our trading, personal and for clients,
has a minimal impact on markets, resulting in a negligible possibility for conflict of interest.
Even so, it is our policy that no one shall prefer his or her own interest to that of a client or buy or
sell any security where the employee would benefit from transactions placed on behalf of client
accounts. Additionally, communication of and access to firm research and trading information is
restricted. To further minimize the chance for conflicts of interests, employees and related persons
may not trade their own holdings in the same securities while Smithbridge is trading in those
securities in client accounts. Among other things, our Code of Ethics also requires employees to
receive prior approval before submitting buy-or-sell orders of individual securities. Employees and
related persons submit copies of statements on a quarterly and annual basis, for covered securities,
which are available for review at any point in time by Jonathan Kolle, CFA®, President and CCO.
Gift & Entertainment Policy
Our employees may occasionally give or receive gifts, meals or entertainment of moderate value,
subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and rules of self-regulatory
organizations. Smithbridge Asset Management has adopted a policy to address the conflicts of
14 | P a g e
interest related to gifts and entertainment, such as the appearance of having given or received
something of value that influenced our business decisions or the business decisions of our clients.
The policy requires the reporting and pre-clearance of gifts, meals and entertainment given or
received which exceed certain thresholds. In addition, our employees are prohibited from soliciting
the receipt of gifts, meals or entertainment. All gifts are reported to management and disclosed and
recorded in the firm’s Quarterly Compliance Meeting documentation.
Item 12. Brokerage Practices
Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between Smithbridge and the individual client,
Smithbridge provides investment advisory services and has authority to determine, without obtaining
specific client consent, the securities to be bought and sold for client accounts. This authority shall
also include the amounts of such securities and the price at which to transact.
Clients may grant Smithbridge the discretionary authority to select broker-dealers and determine
the commission rates paid by clients for securities transactions. In those circumstances in which
clients grant Smithbridge with discretionary authority to select broker-dealers, we will evaluate
brokers-dealers based on their financial soundness,
reputation, experience and quality of trade
execution, trade settlement, and overall service. We determine the reasonableness of their
commissions by comparison to the commission rates of other available brokers for transactions
that are similar in type, size, and quantity. Smithbridge’s overall ability to negotiate commissions
and achieve volume discount pricing may be adversely affected by our policy of accepting clients’
direction for Smithbridge to use a specific broker-dealer.
Suggestion of Brokerage for Clients
Smithbridge generally recommends clients to use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) an
unaffiliated SEC registered broker dealer as a qualified custodian and for brokerage services. Schwab
offers independent investment advisors services which include custody of securities, trade execution,
and settlement of transactions. Schwab also sends statements to clients on at least a quarterly basis.
Smithbridge does receive economic benefits at little or no cost by utilizing Schwab’s
custodial/brokerage services not typically available to Schwab retail customers. These may include
but are not limited to; duplicate client statements and confirmations, consulting services, investment
research and screening tools, access to trading services, the ability to directly bill a client account,
and training seminars on compliance, firm management, and other business services.
Smithbridge does not direct transactions to any broker in return for client referrals. However,
Smithbridge currently has clients who were referred to Smithbridge by their existing registered
representative, or broker-dealer. For these clients, Smithbridge executes trades with that broker-
dealer. See the following “Client Directed Brokerage” commentary.
Client Directed Brokerage
While Smithbridge accepts the written direction by clients to use a particular broker- dealer for
trade execution it is not a requirement. We have a conflict of interest between the referred clients’
interest in obtaining best execution and Smithbridge’s interest in retaining the relationship with
that client from the referring registered representative. We mitigate this conflict by informing
our clients of this conflict of interest in their investment management agreement, and
this
brochure.
15 | P a g e
When clients direct Smithbridge to use a particular broker-dealer, they should understand that we
will not have the authority to negotiate commissions and best execution may not be achieved. A
disparity of commissions charged may exist between the commissions charged to other clients.
In addition, clients could pay lower commissions if they did not direct Smithbridge to trade using
a specific broker-dealer.
Soft Dollar Practices
Smithbridge does utilize any soft dollar arrangements or receive any soft dollar benefits.
Trade Aggregation
We will aggregate trades when we are able, and it is in the best interest of our clients.
Smithbridge Asset Management will block trades where possible and when advantageous to clients.
This blocking of trades permits the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets
from multiple client accounts, so long as transaction costs are shared equally and on a pro-rated
basis between all accounts included in any such block.
Block trading may allow us to execute equity trades in a timelier, more equitable manner, at an
average share price. Smithbridge will typically aggregate trades among clients whose accounts can
be traded at a given broker, and generally will rotate or vary the order of brokers through which it
places trades for clients on any particular day.
Smithbridge Asset Management has an arrangement with National Financial Services LLC, and
Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (together with all affiliates, "Fidelity") through which Fidelity
provides our firm with their "platform" services. The platform services include, among others,
brokerage, custodial, administrative support, record keeping and related services that are intended
to support intermediaries like Smithbridge in conducting business and in serving the best interests
of our clients, but that may also benefit us.
Fidelity charges brokerage commissions and transaction fees for effecting certain securities
transactions (i.e., transactions fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds, commissions are
charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions). Fidelity enables Smithbridge to
obtain many no-load mutual funds without transaction charges and other no-load funds at nominal
transaction charges.
Fidelity’s commission rates are generally considered discounted from customary retail commission
rates. However, the commissions and transaction fees charged by Fidelity may be higher or lower
than those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers. As part of the arrangement, Fidelity also
makes available to our firm, at no additional charge to us, certain research and brokerage services,
including research services obtained by Fidelity directly from independent research companies, as
selected by Smithbridge Asset Management (within specified parameters). Smithbridge does not
currently use these research and brokerage services to manage accounts for which we have
investment discretion.
16 | P a g e
Smithbridge may also receive additional services from Fidelity. Without this arrangement, we might
be compelled to purchase the same or similar services at our own expense. Smithbridge does not
currently receive any additional services from Fidelity.
As a result of the opportunity to receive such services for no additional cost, we may have an
incentive to continue to use or expand the use of Fidelity's services. We examined this potential
conflict of interest when we chose to enter into the relationship with Fidelity and have determined
that the relationship is in the best interests Smithbridge’s clients and satisfies our client obligations,
including our duty to seek best execution. A client may pay a commission that is higher than another
qualified broker-dealer might charge to affect the same transaction where we determine in good
faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but
whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full
range of services from a particular broker- dealer, including the value of research provided,
execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. Accordingly, while Smithbridge will
seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all clients, we may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible
commission rates for specific client account transactions. Although the investment research
products and services that may be obtained by us will generally be used to service all of our clients,
a brokerage commission paid by a specific client may be used to pay for research that is not used in
managing that specific client’s account. Smithbridge Asset Management and Fidelity are not
affiliated.
Item 13. Review of Accounts
Individual Portfolio Management
Smithbridge provides all advisory clients with comprehensive written reports on a quarterly basis.
In addition to quarterly reports, clients will receive periodic updates during regular client
meetings in person, electronically or by telephone. Reviews of the portfolios are continuously
performed by the Portfolio Managers, and Advisors. All accounts are reviewed to ensure compliance
with Smithbridge’s long-term investment policy, current investment strategies and individual
client goals and objectives. Additional periodic reviews of all accounts are performed by Mr.
Kolle. In addition, the Smithbridge Investment Policy Committee will meet at least quarterly to review
investment positions, asset allocation and performance to ensure client accounts are being invested
according to firm policy and client goals. The administrative staff reviews all account activity and
market values and reconciles each portfolio to an independent custody statement for most accounts
daily and at least monthly.
In addition to individual client requests, portfolios are reviewed for a variety of circumstances
such as bond rating changes, stock price movements or fundamental changes in an industry or
company’s competitiveness and general market changes.
Clients receive quarterly reports which provide investment performance results for various time
periods for the portfolio and appropriate benchmarks. The report includes a summary of holdings
by asset class, and an appraisal of securities with a breakdown by economic sector and a profile
of equity characteristics.
MODEL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICE
17 | P a g e
REVIEWS: While the underlying securities within Model Portfolio Management Services accounts
are continually monitored, these accounts are reviewed at least quarterly.
Accounts are reviewed in the context of the investment objectives and guidelines of each model
portfolio. More frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes in variables such as the
market, political, or economic environment.
These accounts are reviewed by:
Daniel A. Morris, Portfolio Manager
REPORTS: In addition to the monthly statements and confirmations of transactions that clients
receive from their broker-dealer, we provide quarterly reports summarizing account performance,
balances and holdings. These reports will also remind the Investment Consultant or Financial
Advisors to notify us if there have been changes a client's financial situation or investment objectives
and whether the client wishes to impose investment restrictions or modify existing restrictions.
MUTUAL FUND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
REVIEWS: Smithbridge Asset Management continually reviews and monitors the Mutual Fund's
holdings in accordance with the investment objectives as detailed in the Fund Prospectus.
REPORTS: Clients should refer to the Fund Prospectus for information regarding regular reports to
the fund by Smithbridge Asset Management, Inc.
Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Smithbridge Asset Management, Inc. does not engage solicitors or pay-related or non-related
persons for referring potential clients to our firm. If Smithbridge Asset Management did engage
solicitors it would comply with Marketing Rule 206(4)-1(b), which requires that Smithbridge Asset
Management, Inc. receive from the client, prior to, or at the time of, entering into any written or
oral investment advisory contract with such client, a signed and dated acknowledgment of receipt
of the investment adviser's written disclosure statement and the solicitor's written disclosure
document.
Smithbridge Asset Management acts as a promoter and receives referral compensation from third-
party adviser, MML Investor Services LLC. MML will pay Smithbridge a referral fee no greater
than one half of 0.45% of the assets in retirement plans services by, or account with, MML.
It is Smithbridge Asset Management, Inc's policy not to accept or allow our related persons to accept
any form of compensation, including cash, sales awards or other prizes, from a non-client in
conjunction with the advisory services we provide to our clients.
Item 15. Custody
We previously disclosed in the "Fees and Compensation" section (Item 5) of this Brochure that
Smithbridge Asset Management, Inc. directly debits advisory fees from client accounts.
18 | P a g e
As part of this billing process, the client's custodian is advised of the amount of the fee to be
deducted from that client's account. On at least a quarterly basis, the custodian is required to send
to the client a statement showing all transactions within the account during the reporting period.
Because the custodian does not calculate the amount of the fee to be deducted, it is important for
clients to carefully review their custodial statements to verify the accuracy of the calculation, among
other things. Clients should contact us directly if they believe that there may be an error in their
statement.
In addition to the periodic statements that clients receive directly from their custodians, we also
send account statements directly to our clients on a quarterly basis. We urge our clients to carefully
compare the information provided on these statements to ensure that all account transactions,
holdings and values are correct and current.
Standing Letters of Authorization: Smithbridge Asset Management does maintain a standing letter
of authorization (SLOA) where the funds or securities are being sent to a third party, and the following
conditions are met:
a. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes
the client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the
third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
b. The client authorizes Smithbridge Asset Management, in writing, either on the
qualified custodian’s form or separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on
a specified schedule or from time to time.
c. The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction,
such as a signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization and
provides a transfer of funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
d. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified
custodian.
e. Smithbridge Asset Management has no authority or ability to designate or change the
identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party
contained in the client’s instruction.
f. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming
the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
g. Smithbridge Asset Management maintains records showing that the third party is not
a related party of Smithbridge Asset Management or located at the same address as
Smithbridge Asset Management.
Item 16. Investment Discretion
Smithbridge accepts discretionary authority to manage clients’ investment portfolios. This
discretion is authorized in the written client agreement and, in addition, typically, by a limited
trading authority statement required by their custodian and or broker. Clients may place
reasonable restrictions on the specific securities and or types of securities purchased, sold or
held on their behalf. Clients have written investment goals and guidelines (stating restrictions)
which the portfolio manager adheres to when exercising this discretionary authority.
19 | P a g e
Item 17. Voting Client Securities
Smithbridge Asset Management has not historically voted proxies. However, some Smithbridge
clients request or require that the firm vote proxies. When we vote proxies, we vote in the best
interests of clients and in accordance with our established policies and procedures. Smithbridge will
retain all proxy voting books and records for the requisite period of time, including a copy of each
proxy statement received, a record of each vote cast, a copy of any document created by us that was
material to making a decision on how to vote proxies, and a copy of each written client request for
information on how the adviser voted proxies. If our firm has a conflict of interest in voting for a
particular action, we will notify the client of the conflict and retain an independent third-party to
cast a vote.
Clients may obtain a copy of our complete proxy voting policies and procedures by contacting
Smithbridge Asset Management by telephone, email, or in writing. Clients may request, in writing,
information on how proxies for his/her shares were voted. If any client requests a copy of our
complete proxy policies and procedures or how we voted proxies for his/her account(s), we will
promptly provide such information to the client.
We will neither advise nor act on behalf of the client in legal proceedings involving companies
whose securities are held in the client’s account(s), including, but not limited to, the filing of "Proofs
of Claim" in class action settlements. If desired, clients may direct us to transmit copies of class
action notices to the client or a third party. Upon such direction, we will make commercially
reasonable efforts to forward such notices in a timely manner.
With respect to ERISA accounts, if requested or required, we will vote proxies unless the plan
documents specifically reserve the plan sponsor's right to vote proxies. To direct us to vote a proxy
in a particular manner, clients should contact Smithbridge Asset Management by telephone, email,
or in writing.
A client can instruct us to vote proxies according to particular criteria (for example, to always vote
with management, or to vote for or against a proposal to allow a so-called "poison pill" defense
against a possible takeover). These requests must be made in writing. A client can also instruct us
on how to cast your vote in a particular proxy contest by contacting us at Smithbridge Asset
Management, 166 Commons Court, Chadds Ford, PA 19317.
Item 18. Financial Information
Smithbridge Asset Management, Inc is in sound financially and has no condition which is
reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet our contractual commitments to our clients. We do
not require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1,200 per client more than six months of services
rendered. Smithbridge has never been the subject of a bankruptcy petition.
As an advisory firm that maintains discretionary authority for client accounts, we are also required
to disclose any financial condition that is reasonable likely to impair our ability to meet our
contractual obligations. Smithbridge Asset Management has no additional financial circumstances
to report.

Professional Designations, Licensing & Exams
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional
I am certified for financial planning services in the United States by Certified Financial Planner
Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”). Therefore, I may refer to myself as a CERTIFIED
FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional or a CFP® professional, and I may use these and CFP
Board’s other certification marks (the “CFP Board Certification Marks”). The CFP® certification is
voluntary. No federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners to hold the CFP®
certification. You may find more information about the CFP® certification at www.cfp.net.
23 | P a g e
CFP® professionals have met CFP Board’s high standards for education, examination, experience,
and ethics. To become a CFP® professional, an individual must fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Earn a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university and
complete CFP Board-approved coursework at a college or university through a CFP Board
Registered Program. The coursework covers the financial planning subject areas CFP Board
has determined are necessary for the competent and professional delivery of financial
planning services, as well as a comprehensive financial plan development capstone course.
A candidate may satisfy some of the coursework requirement through other qualifying
credentials.
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination
is designed to assess an individual’s ability to integrate and apply a broad base of financial
planning knowledge in the context of real-life financial planning situations.
• Experience – Complete 6,000 hours of professional experience related to the personal
financial planning process, or 4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience that meets additional

of Ethics and Standards of Conduct (“Code and Standards”), which sets forth the ethical
and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics
requirements to remain certified and maintain the right to continue to use the CFP Board Certification
Marks:
• Ethics – Commit to complying with CFP Board’s Code and Standards. This includes a
commitment to CFP Board, as part of the certification, to act as a fiduciary, and therefore,
act in the best interests of the client, at all times when providing financial advice and
financial planning. CFP Board may sanction a CFP® professional who does not abide by
this commitment, but CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP® professional's services. A client
who seeks a similar commitment should obtain a written engagement that includes a
fiduciary obligation to the client.
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years to
maintain competence, demonstrate specified levels of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and
keep up with developments in financial planning. Two of the hours must address the Code
and Standards.
