ADVISORY BUSINESS (ITEM 4)
Advisory Firm Description
SpringVest Wealth Management, LLC dba Fireside Capital Advisors (“FCA,” “Fireside,”
or the “Firm”), a Texas corporation, was established in November 2023. Timothy Dwight
and Rebecca Wynne are equal owners. The Firm provides wealth management and
portfolio management services.
Types of Advisory Services
FCA was established to serve as a personal family office for both family and friends.
FCA’s vision was to offer independent, fee-only, professional investment advice to family
members and close personal friends. FCA uses professional investment managers via
publicly traded mutual funds and other investment vehicles to implement individual
investment strategies that are client specific. FCA provides financial planning as needed
for clients. There is no extra fee for this service. FCA’s business has ultimately grown
to include institutional clients.
FCA believes it is different from the usual fee-only advisory firm in that:
1. FCA has no other income other than the fees paid by the clients.
2. FCA has no affiliation or monetary connection with any bank, insurance
company, or investment manager.
3. FCA does not have a minimum size client limitation, as small clients need
financial advice too.
4. FCA places client’s interests above the Firm’s own by serving as a fiduciary.
5. FCA does not sell products, including annuities.
6. FCA does not use “one size fits all” models to manage clients’ assets. Each
client portfolio is designed to meet that particular client’s needs.
7. FCA expects its business to grow but is not focused on gathering assets.
8. FCA is committed to helping clients meet their long-term investment objectives.
Tailored Advisory Services
Each client’s portfolio is managed to meet his or her particular goals and objectives,
within risk parameters determined during the initial interview and questionnaire process.
Clients are allowed to impose restrictions on investing in certain securities.
Client Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, the Firm had $206,335,083 of discretionary assets under
management and $0 of non-discretionary assets under management.
FEES AND COMPENSATION (ITEM 5)
FCA’s annual portfolio management fees are based on a percentage of assets under
management in each of a client’s accounts. Fees are charged quarterly in advance
based on the total market value of the account, including cash, as provided by the
1
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure
Fireside Capital Advisors
September 2025
custodian as of the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter. For accounts with
which our management begins during a calendar quarter, fees will be prorated for the
number of days remaining in the initial quarterly period. Fees are deducted from
accounts with client authorization. The fee schedule for assets under management is as
follows:
1.0% of the first $1,000,000*
0.8% of the next $2,000,000
0.6% of the next $2,000,000
0.4% of the amount over $5,000,000
Negotiated for assets over $20,000,000.
* Portfolios with a total value of less than $1,000,000 across all household
accounts combined may be charged a flat rate of 1.5%.
Under certain circumstances, services are provided under an hourly arrangement.
FCA’s customary hourly fee is $300. Examples of services which may be billed at an
hourly rate include:
• Financial planning without coinciding asset management and
• Valuation analysis or financial modeling of specific investments or other outside
assets not currently advised by FCA.
Fees are negotiable depending on a client’s particular needs for our services and
therefore will vary from client to client.
Other Fees
Client accounts pay directly for fees assessed by the custodian, such as transaction,
wire, exchange, or custodial fees. For more language on the custodian relationship,
please refer to the section below “Brokerage Practices” for more details.
Exchange traded funds, mutual funds, and money market funds all have internal
management fees and other expenses. More detail regarding internal fund expenses
can be found in the prospectus for each investment as provided by the custodian.
Termination
An Investment Management Agreement (IMA) outlines the rights and responsibilities of
both FCA and the client, and states that the agreement is continuous until terminated by
either party which will be effective immediately after receipt of such notice.
Within five business days of the effective date of the IMA, a client can terminate the
agreement without any fee or penalty. If an agreement is terminated during a calendar
quarter, FCA will return pro-rata any fees collected in advance based on the number of
days remaining in the quarter.

PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT (ITEM 6)
FCA does not charge any performance-based fees or engage in side-by-side
management.
TYPES OF CLIENTS (ITEM 7)
We provide investment advisory services to:
Individuals
•
• High net worth individuals
• Pension and profit-sharing plans
• Trusts, estates and charitable organizations
FCA does not have a minimum requirement for account size.
METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
(ITEM 8)
Methods of Analysis
When selecting professional managers, mutual funds, and exchange traded funds to
manage a portion of clients’ portfolios, FCA evaluates the funds’ objectives, strategies,
historical performance, risk profile, management tenure, team structure, compensation,
turnover, incentives, legal structure, and tax characteristics among other items.
Investment performance and the fund’s adherence to its stated investment strategy are
monitored on an ongoing basis. Fundamental changes at a fund (e.g., a change in lead
portfolio manager), deviation from strategy, or lack of performance can be cause for
removal of a fund from clients’ portfolios.
Evaluation of individual stocks, bonds, and options will include fundamental analysis,
technical analysis, and cyclical analysis.
Investment Strategies
Our investment strategy incorporates a globally diversified portfolio across multiple asset
classes as appropriate for a particular client’s needs. Our investment strategies can be
implemented with:
• Long-term purchases (securities held at least a year)
• Short-term purchases (securities held less than one year)
• Trading (securities sold within 30 days)
• Option strategies (covered and uncovered, puts and calls)
• Short sales
Risk of Loss
FCA does not guarantee the future performance of the account(s), or any specific level
of performance, the success of any investment decision or strategy that the Firm uses,
3

or the success of the Firm’s overall management of the account(s). The client
understands that investment decisions made for the client’s account(s) by the Firm are
subject to various market, economic, political, and business risks, and that those
investment decisions will not always be profitable. Clients are reminded that investing in
any security entails risk of loss, which they should be willing to bear.
DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION (ITEM 9)
There have been no disciplinary actions against FCA or Mr. Dwight.
OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS (ITEM 10)
FCA has no other financial industry activities or affiliations.
CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS
AND PERSONAL TRADING (ITEM 11)
Code of Ethics
FCA has adopted a Code of Ethics which describes the general standards of conduct
that the Firm expects of all Firm personnel (collectively referred to as “employees”) and
focuses on three specific areas where employee conduct has the potential to adversely
affect the client:
• Misuse of nonpublic information
• Personal securities trading
• Outside business activities
Failure to uphold the Code of Ethics will result in disciplinary sanctions, which could
include termination with the Firm. Any client or prospective client can request a copy of
the Firm’s Code of Ethics which will be provided at no cost.
The following basic principles guide all aspects of the Firm’s business and represent the
minimum requirements to which the Firm expects employees to adhere:
• Clients’ interests come before employees’ personal interests and before the
Firm’s interests.
• The Firm must fully disclose all material facts about conflicts of interest of which it
is aware between itself and clients as well as between Firm employees and
clients.
• Employees must operate on the Firm’s behalf, and on their own behalf,
consistently with the Firm’s disclosures to manage the impact of any conflict.
• The Firm and its employees must not take inappropriate advantage of their
positions of trust with or responsibility to clients.
4
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure
Fireside Capital Advisors
September 2025
• The Firm and its employees must always comply with all applicable securities
laws.
Misuse of Nonpublic Information
The Code of Ethics contains a policy against the use of nonpublic information in
conducting business for the Firm. Employees cannot convey nonpublic information nor
depend upon it in placing personal or recommending clients’ securities trades.
Personal Securities Trading
FCA or individuals associated with the Firm can buy, sell or hold in their personal
accounts the same securities the Firm recommends to its clients. However, no FCA
employee can trade in any security at the same time there is an open order pending in
the same security of a FCA client. This mitigates a potential conflict of interest. The
Firm does not allow front running.
Employees are required to submit reports of personal securities trades on a quarterly
basis, and securities holdings annually. These are reviewed by the Chief Compliance
Officer to ensure compliance with the Firm’s policies.
Outside Business Activities
Employees are required to report any outside business activities generating revenue. If
any are deemed to be in conflict with clients, such conflicts will be fully disclosed or the
employee will be directed to cease this activity.
BROKERAGE PRACTICES (ITEM 12)
Selecting Custodians and Broker/Dealers
The Firm recommends Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. FCA recognizes its responsibility to
attain best execution and recognizes that limiting its custodial relationships could affect
its ability to provide best execution on a trade-by-trade basis. However, the Firm
evaluates its entire custodial relationship in assessing best execution on a client-by-
client basis.
Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits
FCA currently has no formal soft-dollar arrangements, where specific products or
services are paid for with soft dollars generated for the Firm by individual trades the Firm
places in client accounts. However, the custodian provides the Firm with certain
brokerage and research products and services that qualify as "brokerage or research
services" under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").
Brokerage for Client Referrals
The Firm does not receive referrals from a broker/dealer or third party providing service
to FCA.
5
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure
Fireside Capital Advisors
September 2025
Directed Brokerage
Clients do not direct FCA to execute trades through broker/dealers not used by the Firm.
Order Aggregation
FCA does not participate in block trading.
REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS (ITEM 13)
Mr. Tim Dwight, President, and Mr. J. Stephen Penner, Investment Advisor
Representative, review all accounts on an on-going basis. These reviews entail
comparing the client’s investment objective to the portfolio holdings, cash flows, changes
in the client’s financial position, and often a discussion with the client.
Either Mr. Dwight or Mr. Penner will meet with each client periodically or on an as-
needed basis to review their account. The frequency of these reviews can be impacted
by several factors including:
• The size and complexity of the client's accounts
• The complexity of the client’s financial situation
• Excess cash balances
• Unexpected changes in the client’s goals or objectives
• Changes in political and economic circumstances
• Market conditions
• Other lifestyle changes warranting a review of the client’s financial situation
Clients with managed accounts will periodically receive written portfolio evaluations from
FCA. The reports are delivered in-person, electronically, or by mail.
CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION (ITEM 14)
FCA engages a promoter to refer clients and compensates such promoter for those
services as a form of marketing. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from the
advisory fees earned by the Firm and shall not result in any additional charge to the
client. FCA will ensure that all regulatory requirements are met.
CUSTODY (ITEM 15)
Custody is defined as having any access to client funds or securities. Because FCA
generally has the authority to instruct the account custodian to deduct the investment
management fee directly from the client’s account, FCA is considered to have “custody”
of client assets. This limited access is monitored by the client through receipt of account
statements directly from the custodian. These statements all show the deduction of the
management fee from the account. Otherwise, FCA only directs the movement of funds
from one account in the client’s name to another such titled account but has no other
access to funds.
6
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure
Fireside Capital Advisors
September 2025
When clients receive their statements from the account custodian, clients should
carefully review those statements and take the time to compare them with those they
receive from FCA. If the client finds significant discrepancies, the custodian and FCA
should be notified.
FCA has standing letters of authorization to third parties to withdraw client funds or
securities maintained with a qualified custodian upon its instruction to the qualified
custodian. According to the SEC, this means that FCA has custody of those clients’
assets and is required to comply with the Custody Rule. Because the SEC’s seven
conditions have been met, a surprise exam is not required.
INVESTMENT DISCRETION (ITEM 16)
For discretionary accounts, the Firm has full trading authority under a limited power of
attorney assigned to FCA. As a result, FCA will determine both the investments, and
how much of each, should be purchased or sold on each client’s behalf. The Firm
follows the investment strategy as set forth in the investment management agreement.
Clients can place restrictions on the Firm’s discretion in writing.
Nondiscretionary accounts are managed for clients not willing or unable to provide
limited power of attorney to FCA.
VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES (ITEM 17)
FCA does not vote proxies for securities held in clients’ accounts. Clients receive proxy
material directly from their account custodian by either email or U.S. mail. Clients can
address questions concerning a proxy matter to Firm personnel via email or phone.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION (ITEM 18)
There is no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair the Firm’s ability to meet
its contractual commitments to its clients.
