Item 4: Advisory Business
Firm Description
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services LLC (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Stewardship
Concepts”, “Stewardship Concepts Financial Services), originally began an
advisory business in 1998 as a sole proprietorship, Edwin R Hill. Stewardship
Concepts Financial Services’ principal owner is SCFS LLC which in turn is
owned by Noah Schwab and Amy Drury. Stewardship Concepts Financial
Services LLC conducts advisory business under the dba Stewardship
Concepts.
Stewardship Concepts provides personal financial planning and investment
management services to individuals, families and their related entities, trusts
and estates, family businesses, corporations, and other business entities, and
charitable organizations. Stewardship Concepts works with clients to define
financial objectives and to develop strategies for reaching those objectives,
some of which may include: identification of financial problems, cash flow and
budget management, tax planning, risk exposure review and management,
investment management, education funding, retirement planning, estate
planning, charitable goals, special needs planning, family business
succession issues, fringe benefits, and/or other issues specific to the client.
The firm’s compensation is solely from fees paid directly by clients. The firm
and its employees are no longer insurance licensed and, therefore, do not
receive any commission from client’s purchase of any form of insurance,
including life insurance and long-term care insurance. No other commissions
in any form are received or accepted. No referral fees are paid or accepted.
No benefits are received from custodians/broker-dealers based on client
securities transactions (also known as “soft dollar benefits”). The firm is purely
fee-only.
Assets under the direct management of Stewardship Concepts Financial
Services are held by independent custodians (ie: Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.)
in the client’s name. Stewardship Concepts Financial Services does not act
as a custodian of client assets.
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services may recommend other
professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, real estate
agents, etc.) at the request of the client. Other professionals are engaged
directly by the client on an as-needed basis even when recommended by the
Advisor. Stewardship Concepts Financial Services receives no compensation,
direct or indirect, for any referral. Conflicts of interest, if any, will be disclosed
to the client and managed in the best interest of the client.
The initial meeting, which may be by telephone or Web conference, is free of
charge and is considered an exploratory interview to determine the extent to
TOC - 1 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
which financial planning and investment management may be beneficial to
the client.
Principal Owners
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services LLC is owned 90% by SCFS LLC
which in turn is owned 65% by Noah Schwab and 35% by Amy Drury. The
other 10% of Stewardship Concepts Financial Services LLC is owned 6.5%
by Noah Schwab and 3.5% by Amy Drury.
Types of Advisory Services
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC, provides comprehensive
financial planning services, investment advisory and management services.
We operate in a fiduciary capacity, placing client needs above its own.
In performing its services, Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, is not
required to verify any information received from the client or from the client's
other professionals. Each client is advised that it remains his/her
responsibility to promptly notify Stewardship Concepts Financial Services
when there is any material or significant change in his/her financial situation
and/or financial objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising
previous recommendations and/or services.
The following are typical financial planning services we offer to clients:
Financial Planning
We provide comprehensive financial planning services and condensed
financial reviews, depending upon the needs of the client. Financial planning
services may include, but are not limited to:
Cash Management and Budgeting: Includes a review of Client’s
income and expenses to provide advice and guidance on a variety of
cash management issues, as applicable, including how to prioritize any
surplus and/or reduce expenses, debt pay-off options, existing cash
reserves and strategies for saving.
Insurance Review: Includes a review of existing policies for proper
coverage of life, health disability, long-term care, liability, home and/or
automobile.
College Savings: Includes projecting the amount needed for college or
other post-secondary education funding goals, savings options,
eligibility for financial aid, and options for contributions to education
funding for grandchildren or others.
Retirement Planning: Typically includes discussion of financial goals
with financial independence often seen as a primary objective; includes
options for working towards reaching those goals; recommendations
will be made based on review and discussions with Client. If retired or
TOC - 2 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
near retirement, includes discussion of distribution strategies, if
applicable.
Investment Analysis: Includes recommendations of a suitable asset
allocation strategy, 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.
Tax Planning: Recommendations for overall tax efficiency with
consideration of existing and possible changes to federal, state and
local tax laws and rates that may impact Client; recommended
questions and options to discuss with Client’s tax professional; may
include participation in meetings with Client’s accountant, attorney, or
other professionals.
A written evaluation of the client's current situation and their goals is provided
to the client. The engagement also includes implementation of
recommendations accepted by client, telephone support, meetings as
required, on-going financial planning services, and reminders of the specific
courses of action that need to be taken. The actual scope of planning services
is dependent solely upon the needs and circumstances of each client, and
therefore differs which each client.
A financial plan is designed to help the client with all aspects of financial
planning without ongoing investment management after the financial plan is
completed. The client may choose to enter into an investment management
agreement upon the completion of the financial plan. If a client does so during
the original financial planning 12-month contract, the initial financial planning
fee will be offset if the client implements an investment management contract
for the managed accounts assets and no additional financial planning fee will
be charged for further incidental investment planning or consulting account
assets. Our financial planning fee is negotiable.
The financial plan may include, but is not limited to: a net worth statement; a
cash flow statement; a review of investment accounts, including reviewing
asset allocation and providing repositioning recommendations; strategic tax
planning; a review of retirement accounts and plans including
recommendations; death planning and a review of insurance policies and
recommendations for changes, if necessary; one or more retirement
scenarios; estate planning review and recommendations; and education
planning with funding recommendations.
Detailed investment advice and specific recommendations are provided
typically as part of a financial plan. Implementation of the recommendations
is at the discretion of the client.
TOC - 3 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
Investment Management Services
We provide complete investment management and advisory services. Most
financial planning clients choose to have Stewardship Concepts Financial
Services manage their assets in order to obtain ongoing in-depth advice
which is specific to the client’s needs. Stewardship Concepts Financial
Services will not enter into an investment management relationship until they
have a thorough understanding of a client’s financial situation, needs and
objectives.
A diversified investment portfolio is constructed for the client based upon
specific risk and return goals, and other client-specific factors. Depending
upon the total size of the portfolio, the portfolio may include but may not be
limited to any of the following securities: equities (stocks – both US and
foreign), government bonds (both US and foreign), corporate bonds (both US
and foreign),mutual fund shares, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), certificates
of deposit, municipal securities, U. S. government securities, real estate
investment trusts (REITs), options contracts, futures contracts, and interests
in master limited partnerships. The material risks involved with our
investments and recommendations are as follows: interest-rate risk, market
risk, inflation risk, currency risk, reinvestment risk, business risk, liquidity risk,
and financial risk. These are detailed below in risk of loss section.
Special Projects
Projects may be undertaken that are not described in the above agreements,
including periodic investment portfolio review, assistance with tax planning, or
other services specifically described in an engagement letter.
Tailored Relationships
We tailor planning and advisory services to the individual needs of clients.
Client goals and objectives are clarified in meetings and via correspondence
and are used to determine the course of action for each individual client. The
goals and objectives for each client are documented in our client relationship
management system and in client files, either in hard copy or in electronic
files.
Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities. These restrictions will be outlined in writing in an Investment Policy
Statement to be signed by the client and Stewardship Concepts Financial
Services.
Important Information for Retirement Investors
When we recommend that a client rollover retirement assets, or transfer
existing retirement assets (such as a 401(k) or an IRA), to our management,
TOC - 4 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
we have a conflict of interest. This is because we will generally earn
additional revenue when we manage more assets. In making the
recommendation, however, we do so only after determining that the
recommendation is in the client’s best interest. Further, in making any
recommendation to transfer or rollover retirement assets, we do so as a
“fiduciary,” as that term is defined in ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, or
both. We also acknowledge we are a fiduciary under ERISA or the Internal
Revenue Code with respect to our ongoing investment advisory
recommendations and discretionary asset management services, as
described in the advisory agreement we execute with you. To the extent we
provide non-fiduciary services to you, those will be described in the advisory
agreement.
Managed Assets
As of January 1st 2026, the firm managed approximately $174,620,530 in
assets under management.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Description
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services charges fees on a fixed basis or an
hourly basis for consultations in financial planning. For clients that request
and require comprehensive financial planning services, a flat fee of $3,000 is
charged, reflecting approximately ten hours of our time. For our clients who
have already completed a comprehensive financial plan under our fixed fee
engagement, and later request additional planning services or updates
outside the original 12-month engagement, the firm offers planning services
on an hourly basis at a rate of $300.00 per hour. Financial planning fees are
paid after the consultation and upon completion of work.
We also charge fees for investment management services. Fees are charged
as an annual percentage of assets under management. We use a tiered fee
schedule, which means that different portions of client’s assets are billed at
different rates as asset levels increase rather than applying a single rate to
the entire account balance. Annual fees for the management of client assets
in a diversified portfolio including stocks and bonds are subject to the
following maximum fee schedule:
Assets Under Management Annual Fee
$0–$2M: 1.0%
$2M–$4M: 0.8%
$4M–$6M: 0.6%
$6M+: 0.5%
TOC - 5 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
Fees are calculated by applying the applicable rate to each tier of assets. For
example, a client with $3,000,000 under management would be charged
1.00% on the first $2,000,000 and 0.80% on the remaining $1,000,000.
We charge a minimum investment management fee of $750 per quarter,
which will result in a higher percentage rate than our stated fee maximum any
given calendar quarter where your fees would otherwise be below the
minimum.
Your fees are negotiable and will be determined by your Investment Advisor
Representative subject to our stated fee schedule and quarterly minimum fee.
Your management agreement with Stewardship Concepts will specify your
exact fee to be paid.
This management fee is in addition to all other customary fees and expenses
(e.g., brokerage commissions, mutual fund expenses and fees) inherent in
the overall management of an investment portfolio. No brokerage
commissions in any form will be paid to or received by Stewardship Concepts
Financial Services. Investment management fees are negotiable. We
discount management fees for certain types of clients as follows: a 25%
discount off the base fee for family members and friends, and for non-profit
organizations. Stewardship Concepts Financial Services reserves the right to
waive fees at its sole discretion.
In no event shall a management fee be based on the performance of the
Client’s Portfolio; neither shall it depend on the investment return of the
assets or any share of capital gains or appreciation thereof.
In the event of termination of our services by either party, the annual
management fee will be calculated based on the average daily balance of the
client’s portfolio for the number of days the agreement remained in effect
during the terminated quarter.
Fee Billing
For all client engagements in which fees are being billed on an hourly basis or
flat fee financial plan, fees will be billed to the client as the work is completed.
Forms of payment accepted for flat fee or hourly financial plans are check,
credit card, and ACH from bank. ACH and credit card payments are
processed through Square. Square is a third-party payment processor in
which the client can securely input their banking information and the advisory
fees are paid through “one-time payment” requests for each billing period.
For investment management engagements for which fees are being billed as
an annual percentage of assets under management, the management fee will
be charged on a cumulative household account basis and will take into
consideration the total market value of all assets under management for the
client. Some exceptions apply and will be outlined in the investment advisory
agreement. The management fee will be paid quarterly and will be paid in
arrears based on the average daily balance of the client’s total portfolio for
TOC - 6 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
calendar quarter. The first quarterly fee will commence on the last day of the
calendar quarter in which this agreement was executed.
If the client consents in advance to direct debiting of their investment
management fees from the brokerage accounts at a qualified custodian, then
the quarterly fee will be automatically deducted from the client’s investment
accounts held by the custodian. We strongly encourage our clients to
compare the information on any statement we provide with the fees listed on
the account statements issued by the custodian.
If the client does not agree to direct debiting of fees from their brokerage
accounts, then the client will receive an invoice, payable upon receipt, for the
amount of the fees following the end of the quarter. The following are the
forms of payment we accept for investment management: check, credit card,
and ACH from bank account. ACH and credit card payments are processed
through Square. Square is a third-party payment processor in which the client
can securely input their banking information and the advisory fees are paid
through “one-time payment” requests for each billing period.
Other Fees
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain
mutual funds, stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds, options, and other
marketable securities. These transaction charges are usually relatively small
and are incidental to the purchase or sale of a security. In limited cases,
custodians also charge monthly, quarterly or annual custody fees. Fees for
custody are disclosed to clients when this type of arrangement is
recommended.
Mutual funds and exchange traded funds generally charge a management fee
for their services as investment managers. The management fee is included
in the expense ratio. Mutual fund fees also include transaction charges for the
purchase or sale of securities within the fund and may charge other fees as
disclosed in the fund prospectus. These fees are in addition to the fees paid
by the client to Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC.
Please see the section entitled “Brokerage Practices” for more information.
Past Due Accounts and Termination of Agreement
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services reserves the right to stop work on
any account that is more than 60 days overdue. In addition, we reserve the
right to terminate any financial planning engagement where a client has
willfully concealed or has refused to provide pertinent information about
financial situations when necessary and appropriate to providing proper
financial advice, per our judgment. Clients may terminate their agreement at
any time by providing written notice. Adviser will deliver completed portions of
the plan to the client.
TOC - 7 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
Terminated clients being billed at an hourly rate will receive an itemized bill
based on hourly rates for work completed to the date of termination. In the
unlikely case of fees being collected in advance, any unused portion of fees
will be refunded within 30 days. In the event of termination of an investment
advisory agreement where the fees are being billed as an annual percentage
of assets under management, the annual management fee will be calculated
using the average daily balance of the assets in the client’s portfolio based
upon the number of days the agreement was in effect during the quarter in
which the termination occurs.
Compensation for Sales of Insurance Products
Neither Stewardship Concept Financial Services nor its IARs receive
insurance sale compensation. When providing comprehensive financial
planning services, we may make general recommendations concerning
property/casualty insurance, life insurance, annuities, and/or long-term care
insurance. However, if the client elects to pursue and possibly purchase any
insurance products, those will always be done with a licensed insurance
producer, not through us. We may recommend clients to insurance producers
and will never receive compensation for such referrals.
Other Investment Compensation
We do not accept commission for the sale of securities or other investment
products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of
mutual funds.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees
Sharing of Capital Gains
Performance-based compensation creates an incentive for us to recommend
investments that carries a higher degree of risk to the client. Stewardship
Concepts Financial Services does not use a performance-based fee structure
because of this potential conflict of interest. In other words, in no event shall a
management fee be based on the performance of the client’s portfolio; neither
shall it depend on the investment return on the assets or any share of capital
gains or appreciation thereof. However, the nature of asset-based fees
allows us to participate in the growth of the client’s wealth. This also means
that our fees can decline when the client’s portfolio declines in value.
TOC - 8 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services provides personal financial
planning and investment management to individuals, families and their related
entities, trusts and estates, family businesses, corporations and other
business entities, and charitable organizations. Client relationships vary in
scope and length of service.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk
of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Our investment analysis methods include fundamental analysis and technical
analysis. We analyze and recommend a variety of individual securities,
mutual funds, and money management services to clients. In analyzing
investment options, sources of information may include financial newspapers
and magazines, investment advisory newsletters, economic newsletters,
economic and financial books, corporate rating services like Value Line,
Morningstar, S&P Global, Argus and Thomson Reuters, annual reports,
prospectuses, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, current
financial news, and company press releases. Stewardship Concepts Financial
Services employees also attend financial industry conferences on a regular
basis and utilize conference calls with various economists, mutual fund
managers, and other asset managers. The material risks involved in our
method(s) of analysis are risk of incomplete analysis and inaccurate given
data.
Investment Strategies
The primary investment strategy we use for client accounts is broad portfolio
diversification incorporating strategic asset allocation. Portfolios are globally
diversified to help control risk and also to better reflect the global nature of
current economies and financial markets. We also utilize tactical allocation
changes which means overweighting or underweighting exposure to various
investment classes at various times as deemed appropriate to enhance return
or to reduce risk. The material risks involved with our investments and
recommendations are as follows: interest-rate risk, market risk, inflation risk,
currency risk, reinvestment risk, business risk, liquidity risk, and financial risk.
These are detailed below in risk of loss section.
The investment strategy for a specific client is primarily centered on the
client’s overall risk tolerance and risk capacity. The strategy is further tailored
based upon the planning objectives, income and cash flow needs, and tax
situation stated by the client during consultations. It is understood that the
TOC - 9 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
client may change these objectives at any time and that both risk tolerance
and risk capacity will change over time. Each client executes an Investment
Policy Statement (IPS) that documents their risk, their overall objectives and
the resulting appropriate investment strategy. The IPS provides an important
platform to build mutual understanding of the client’s investment needs and
objectives, and to provide open dialogue.
We may employ other strategies to enhance returns or hedge risk including
long-term purchases, short-term purchases, and option strategies (restricted
to covered options writing and the purchase of protective Put options).
Risk of Loss
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our
investment approach keeps the risk of loss as a primary focus. However, as
with all investments, clients face investment risks which can lead to a
temporary decline in or permanent loss to the value of an investment portfolio.
These investment risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Market Risk, or systematic risk, is the risk associated with the overall
decline in value of all securities in a specific investment market.
Interest-rate Risk is the possibility that a debt security (i.e., bond) will
decline in value as a result of a rise in interest rates.
Inflation Risk is the risk of a decline (or erosion) of the purchasing
power of both the value of an investment asset and the fixed income
generated by it over time due to inflation.
Currency Risk effects foreign investments and is the potential for a
decline in the value of a foreign security due to changes in the price of
one currency relative to another.
Re-investment Risk, which is the risk of reinvesting the principal and
interest from one investment at a lower rate due to declining interest
rates, leading to an overall decline in cash flow.
Business Risk is the risk that the specific issuer of a security (i.e., stock
or bond) may become financially insolvent, thereby losing the ability to
pay principal and interest on its bonds and causing its stock to become
worthless.
Liquidity Risk is the risk that a specific investment cannot be readily
bought or sold due to a limited market for the investment.

Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Legal and Disciplinary
The firm and its employees have not been involved in legal or disciplinary
events related to past or present investment clients.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Financial Industry Activities
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services does not participate in any other
industry business activities outside of its investment advisory business.
Stewardship Concepts is a trade name of Stewardship Concepts Financial
Services, LLC and is not a separate legal entity.
Affiliations
We do not have any arrangements that are material to its advisory business
or its clients with any related person who is a broker-dealer, investment
company, other investment advisor, financial planning firm, commodity pool
operator, commodity trading adviser or futures commission merchant,
banking or thrift institution, accounting firm, law firm, pension consultant, real
estate broker or dealer, or an entity that creates or packages limited
partnerships.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
We have committed to adhering to the Code of Ethics and Professional
Responsibility as developed by the Certified Financial Planner Board of
Standards. This Code of Ethics is centered on the following seven principles:
Integrity, Objectivity, Competence, Fairness, Confidentiality, Professionalism,
and Diligence. The firm will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any client
or prospective client upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, its employees, and owners may
not hold a material financial interest in securities in which a client is
recommended or buys and sells in client accounts. Employees and owners
may buy or sell securities that are held by clients. Employees and owners
may not trade their own securities ahead of client trades. Employees and
owners must comply with the provisions of the Stewardship Concepts
TOC - 11 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
Financial Services Code of Ethics, Prevention of Insider Trading, and other
policies.
Our Chief Compliance Officer, Amy Drury, reviews all employee trades. The
personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of employees do
not conflict with or receive preferential treatment over client trades. Our
employees’ trades are generally not of a sufficient size or value to affect the
securities markets.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Selecting Brokerage Firms
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services does not have any affiliation with
product sales firms. Specific custodian recommendations are made to Clients
based on their need for such services. We recommend custodians based on
the proven integrity and financial responsibility of the custodial firm, the best
execution of orders at reasonable commission rates, the level of other
transactional costs, the access to a broad array of investment options for the
benefit of clients, and the quality of customer service. We do not permit the
client to direct brokerage because they may not be able to achieve the most
favorable execution of client transactions and may lead to higher transactional
costs.
We do not receive fees or commissions from any custodial platform, although
we benefit from electronic delivery of client information, electronic trading
platforms, and other services provided by the custodial platform for the benefit
of clients. We may also benefit from other services provided by the custodian,
such as research, continuing education, and practice management advice.
These benefits are standard for an investment advisor using an institutional
custodial platform and are not in return for client recommendations or
transactions.
We review the execution of trades at each custodian annually. Trading fees
charged by the custodians are also reviewed on an ongoing basis We do not
receive any portion of the trading fees.
Soft Dollars
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services does not have any soft dollar
arrangements. However, we do participate in the institutional advisor
program (the "Program") offered by Schwab. Schwab offers services to
independent investment advisors which include custody of securities, trade
execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. We receive benefits
through product and services from Schwab through our participation in the
Program. Some of these products and services benefit Stewardship
Concepts Financial Services, but do not benefit Clients accounts directly,
although these benefits often assist us in managing and administering
TOC - 12 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
Client accounts. We consider the value of various services, including
research or additional brokerage products a broker-dealer has provided or
may be willing to provide to us. Because many of the services or products
are considered a benefit to us, we have a conflict of interest in allocating
client brokerage business: we receive valuable benefits when clients
choose to custody their assets and execute client transactions at Schwab.
Schwab’s fees might not be the lowest we might otherwise be able to
negotiate. There is no direct link between our participation in the Program
and the investment advice we give our Clients, although the economic
benefits we receive through our participation in the Program are not
typically available to retail investors who use those same custodians.
Benefits we receive from Schwab include: receipt of duplicate Client
statements and confirmations; research-related products and tools;
consulting services; access to a trading desk serving Program
participants; access to block trading and other trading tools; direct debit
of advisory fees from client accounts; access to an electronic
communications network for client order entry and account information; and
discounts on third-party vendor compliance, marketing, research,
technology, and practice management products or services. Services made
available through the Program are intended to help Stewardship Concepts
Financial Services manage and further develop our business enterprise.
The benefits that we receive through participation in the Program do not
depend on the number of brokerage transactions directed to any one
particular custodian. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits by Stewardship Concepts Financial Services or our
supervised persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and
may indirectly influence our recommendation to you for custody and
brokerage services. As part of our fiduciary duty to clients, we endeavor at
all times to put the interests of our clients first.
Order Aggregation
Where possible, we enter stock and bond block trades so that all clients
receive the same price execution for the trade. Once executed, the trade is
then allocated to the individual client accounts for which the trade applied.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Periodic Reviews
Account reviews for investment management clients are performed by the
advisory staff at Stewardship Concepts Financial Services. The frequency of
reviews is individually negotiated with each client, but occurs no less than
annually. An annual financial review is frequent and sufficient to review any
material changes in a client’s goals and objectives in their financial situation.
TOC - 13 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
Account reviews are performed more frequently when market conditions
dictate it.
Financial planning clients are given the option to return annually at their
expense for an update of their financial plan.
Review Triggers
Other conditions that may trigger a review are changes in the tax laws, new
investment information, changes in a client's own situation, or a review or
update at the client’s request.
Regular Reports
Written reports are sent to investment management clients on a quarterly
basis. The reports may consist of a market commentary summarizing the
results of the review and our general thoughts on the economy, a statement
of holdings from our portfolio accounting software, asset allocation analysis,
tax-related information, updates to financial plan reports, portfolio graphs, or
other reports as needed. Portfolio rates of return shown in these reports are
calculated using third party software that is believed to be accurate and
reliable.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Incoming Referrals
We have been fortunate to receive many client referrals over the years. The
referrals came from current clients, estate planning attorneys, accountants,
employees, personal friends of employees and other similar sources. The
firm does not compensate the parties listed above for referrals.
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services receives client referrals from
SmartAsset, a third-party vendor that identifies prospective clients who may
be interested in our advisory services. We pay a fee for each client referred to
us through SmartAsset; the fee is not based on whether the client chooses to
work with us or on the client’s assets under our management. The leads are
sent out to three different investment advisors and the client chooses the
investment advisor that they wish to work with.
Referrals Out
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services does not accept referral fees or any
form of remuneration from other professionals when a prospect or client is
referred to them.

Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, who provide account statements
directly to clients at least quarterly. Clients are encouraged to carefully review
the statements provided by their custodians.
Statements Provided by Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
At times we provide portfolio statements generated from our portfolio
accounting and financial planning software Clients are urged to compare any
statements they receive from us to those they receive from their qualified
custodians.
Direct Fee Deduction
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services is deemed to have custody when
we have written authorization from the client to deduct our management fees
directly from the client’s account(s) through instructions delivered to the
custodian. We urge clients to review their custodian account statements,
which will reflect all activity during the statement time period, including fee
deductions, and to let us know if there is a discrepancy.
3rd Party SLOA’s
Clients at times provide us with signed standing letters of authorization
(SLOAs) to send money to third parties. These are written and signed
directives from the client authorizing us to initiate payments from their
custodial accounts to specified third parties. This authority is considered
“custody” under current regulations and requires us to report that we have
custody over these account assets on our Form ADV, Part 1A. To the extent
the SLOAs comply with certain conditions, however, including that clients
have the right to terminate the SLOA, and that the qualified custodian will
confirm the status of the SLOA annually directly with the client, we are not
subject to the surprise custody audit of those assets.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services accepts discretionary authority to
manage securities accounts on behalf of clients. Clients must sign a limited
power of attorney before we are given discretionary authority. The limited
power of attorney is included in the account application of our qualified
custodians. Discretionary authority means Stewardship Concepts Financial
Services has the authority to determine, without obtaining specific client
consent, the securities to be bought or sold, and the amount of the securities
TOC - 15 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
to be bought or sold. However, if discretionary authority or a limited power of
attorney has not been given, we would need to consult with the client prior to
each trade to obtain concurrence. Discretionary trading authority facilitates
placing trades in clients’ accounts on their behalf so that we may promptly
implement the investment policy that they have approved. In most cases,
clients are provided with an opportunity for review and discussion prior to
implementation of recommendations.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services does not vote proxies on securities.
Clients are expected to vote their own proxies and will receive proxies
directly.
When assistance on voting proxies is requested, we will provide
recommendations to the Client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be
disclosed to the Client.
Item 18: Financial Information
Financial Condition
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services does not have any financial
impairment that will preclude the firm from meeting contractual commitments
to clients.
A balance sheet is not required to be provided because we do not require
prepayment of fees of more than $1,200 per client, and six months or more in
advance.

Certified Financial Planner™
The Certified Financial Planner™, CFP® and federally registered CFP (with
flame design) marks (collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional
certification marks granted in the United States by Certified Financial Planner
Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or
regulation requires financial planners to hold CFP® certification. It is
recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1)
high standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and
standards of practice; and (3) ethical requirements that govern professional
engagements with clients. Currently, more than 94,000 individuals have
obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily
fulfill the following requirements:
Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study
addressing the financial planning subject areas that CFP Board’s
studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a
Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally accredited United States college
or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP Board’s
financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk
management, employee benefits planning, investment planning,
income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification
Examination. The examination, administered in 10 hours over a two-
- 1 -
Stewardship Concepts Financial Services, LLC
day period, includes case studies and client scenarios designed to test
one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues and apply
one’s knowledge of financial planning to real world circumstances;
Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial
planning-related experience (or the equivalent, measured as 2,000
hours per year); and
Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional
Conduct, a set of documents outlining the ethical and practice
standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing
education and ethics requirements in order to maintain the right to continue to
use the CFP® marks:
Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education
hours every two years, including two hours on the Code of Ethics and
other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning
field; and
Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of
Professional Conduct. The Standards prominently require that CFP®
professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary
standard of care. This means CFP® professionals must provide
financial planning services in the best interests of their clients.
CFP® professionals who fail to comply with the above standards and
requirements may be subject to CFP Board’s enforcement process, which
could result in suspension or permanent revocation of their CFP® certification.
