Item 4 – Advisory Business Introduction
Our Advisory Business
Swan Capital is a Florida domiciled investment adviser, currently registered with the States of Florida and
Alabama. The Adviser was founded in 2012 by its principal owner, Andrew McNair, and registered in 2019.
Services
Swan Capital offers asset management, financial planning, private placement consulting, and consulting
services, with an emphasis on building portfolios designed to meet the needs of our clients. Our focus is
on helping you develop and execute plans that are designed to build and preserve your wealth. We are
available during normal business hours either by telephone, fax, email, or in person by appointment to
answer your questions.
Active Asset Management
Model Portfolios
We will meet with you to discuss your financial circumstances, investment goals and objectives, and to
determine your risk tolerance. We will ask you to provide statements summarizing current investments,
income and other earnings, recent tax returns, retirement plan information, other assets and liabilities,
wills and trusts, insurance policies, and other pertinent information.
Based on the information you share with us, we will analyze your situation and will recommend one or
more of our model portfolios. Please note that due to our investment strategies in our models, you shall
not have the ability to impose restrictions on the management of your account. Refer to Item 8 below for
a description of each model and the risks associated with the analysis methods and products involved
with the models.
Under certain conditions, securities from outside accounts may be transferred into your advisory account;
however, we may recommend that you sell any security if we believe that it is not suitable for the current
recommended investment strategy. Additionally, trading may be required to meet initial allocation
targets, after substantial cash deposits that require investment allocation, and/or after a request for a
withdrawal that requires liquidation of a position.
Periodically, your account will need to be rebalanced or reallocated in order to reestablish the targeted
percentages of your initial asset allocation. This rebalancing or reallocation will occur as dictated by the
model.
You will be responsible for all tax consequences resulting from the sale of any security, rebalancing or
reallocation of the account. You are responsible for any taxable events in these instances. We are not tax
professionals and do not give tax advice. However, we will work with your tax professionals to assist you
with tax planning.
You will be notified of any purchases or sales through trade confirmations and statements that are
provided by the custodian. These statements list the total value of the account, itemize all transaction
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 4 of 23
activity, and list the types, amounts, and total value of securities held. You will at all times maintain full
and complete ownership rights to all assets held in your account, including the right to withdraw securities
or cash, proxy voting and receiving transaction confirmations.
Your custodian will provide you with quarterly performance statements. These statements give you
additional feedback regarding performance, educate you about our long-term investment philosophy, and
describe any changes in current strategy and allocation along with the reasons for making these changes.
Tailored Portfolio Services
As part of the active asset management process, we do not offer tailored portfolios.
Financial Planning and Consulting
Financial Planning
Swan Capital also offers comprehensive and modular financial planning. Comprehensive and modular
financial planning may cover one or all of the following:
a. Retirement Income Planning;
b. Legacy Planning with beneficiary review;
c. Tax Planning in regard to investment decisions;
d. Review of their insurance needs (life insurance and long-term care);
e. Review of client’s investment allocations and diversification among asset classes.
Fee based financial planning is a comprehensive relationship which incorporates many different aspects
of your financial status into an overall plan that meets your goals and objectives. The financial planning
relationship consists of face-to-face meetings and ad hoc meetings with you and/or your other advisors
(attorneys, accountants, etc.) as necessary.
In performing financial planning services, we typically examine and analyze your overall financial situation,
which may include issues such as taxes, insurance needs, overall debt, credit, business planning,
retirement savings and reviewing your current investment program. Our services may focus on all or only
one of these areas depending upon the scope of our engagement with you.
It is essential that you provide the information and documentation we request regarding your income,
investments, taxes, insurance, estate plan, etc. We will discuss your investment objectives, needs and
goals, but you are obligated to inform us of any changes. We do not verify any information obtained from
you, your attorney, accountant or other professionals.
If you engage us to perform these services, you will receive a written agreement detailing the services,
fees, terms and conditions of the relationship. You will also receive this Brochure. You are under no
obligation to implement recommendations through us. You may implement your financial plan through
any financial organization of your choice.

We obtain information from a wide variety of publicly available sources. We do not have any inside private
information about any investments that are recommended. All recommendations developed by us are
based upon our professional judgment. We cannot guarantee the results of any of our recommendations.
Choosing which advice to follow is your decision.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services
We use a third-party platform to manage “held away” accounts. A held away account is an account that
you maintain that is not held with a broker-dealer or custodian where we do not have a custodial
relationship. For example, a 401(k)-account sponsored by your employer is a held away account. Prior to
us managing any held away account, you will be provided with a link allowing you to connect one or more
accounts to the platform. Once an account is connected to the platform, we will review the current
allocations, and when deemed necessary, we will rebalance the account to the target asset allocation.
When clients engage Swan Capital in this capacity, they are responsible for keeping the Pontera platform
link active so that we will be able to access and manage the respective accounts without delay. If Swan
Capital determines that an Order Management System link has become inactive, we will use our best
efforts to notify the client to resolve the issue.
Consulting
We can also work with you in a project based or ongoing consulting capacity. Based upon your needs, we
may also provide consultations throughout the year to advise and counsel you about other financial
issues. Financial consulting services can include any or a combination of the following:
• Review of current portfolio
•
Income tax planning
•
Life and disability insurance needs
• Budgeting
• Retirement needs
• Estate planning needs
Project based consulting may include but is not limited to the purchase of a new home, household
budgeting, business transition, etc. Ongoing consulting may include but is not restricted to ongoing
reviews of portfolio held away from Swan Capital, ongoing reviews of household budgeting and spending,
educational savings, etc.
Consulting services will be provided on an ongoing basis for a period of time determined between Swan
Capital and the client. Some consulting services will result in a written report while others will be handled
through ongoing consultations between the Adviser and Client.
Educational Seminars
We offer no charge educational seminars which go over the importance of preparing for the financial
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A

future. Our seminars focus on common retirement topics, including how to prepare for unexpected
medical expenses and ways to create income to help support your desired lifestyle.
Recommendations
If you decide to implement our recommendations, we will help you open a custodial account(s). The funds
in your account will generally be held in a separate account, in your name, at an independent custodian,
and not with us.
While Swan Capital endeavors at all times to put the interest of our clients first as part of our fiduciary
duty, the possibility of receiving additional compensation based on the recommendations made creates a
conflict of interest and may affect Swan Capital’s judgment when making recommendations. We require
that all investment adviser representatives disclose this conflict of interest when such recommendations
are made, and that the client is not obligated to implement the recommendations made within the plan
through Swan Capital.
Private Equity Real Estate Fund Management
Swan Capital is the general partner and investment adviser for the Cygnet Series of limited partnerships
formed as private funds (“Cygnet”). Cygnet funds operate as private equity real estate funds in
accordance with the investment objective and investment strategy described in the fund’s offering
documents. Cygnet currently relies on an exemption from registration under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. Swan Capital does not receive any compensation (outside of its
management and performance fee as set forth in Item 5) if a client invests in Cygnet. While Cygnet is
generally Swan Capital’s client, the term “client(s)” sometimes refers to the investors in Cygnet.
Participation as an investor in the Cygnet Fund is restricted to investors who are “qualified clients”
pursuant to Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act, as well as those who are “accredited investors” as
defined under Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and “qualified purchasers” as
defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. To the extent certain of Swan
Capital’s individual wealth management clients qualify, they will be eligible to participate as limited
partners of Cygnet. Investment in Cygnet as a limited partner involves a significant degree of risk.
Investors should review relevant information, terms and conditions relative to Cygnet, including but
not limited to suitability, limited rights of redemption, risk factors and potential conflicts of interest,
which are set forth in the confidential private placement memorandum, Partnership Agreement, and
Subscription Agreement (together, the “Offering Documents”), which each investor is required to
receive and/or execute prior to being accepted as an investor in Cygnet. For additional information
regarding the Cygnet Fund, please refer to the Offering Documents.
SWAN Nest Fund
Swan Capital is also the general partner and investment adviser for the SWAN Nest series of funds.
limited partnerships formed as private funds (“Swan Nest”). Swan Nest funds operate as private
equity funds invested in non-correlated income-producing assets in accordance with the investment
objective and investment strategy described in the fund’s offering documents. Swan Nest is invested
in 4 non-correlated income-producing assets at minimum. Swan Nest currently relies on an
exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Swan Capital
does not receive any compensation (outside of its management and performance fee as set forth in
Item 5) if a client invests in Swan Nest. While Swan Nest is generally Swan Capital’s client, the term

“client(s)” sometimes refers to the investors in Swan Nest. Participation as an investor in the Swan
Nest Fund is restricted to investors who are “qualified clients” pursuant to Rule 205-3 under the
Advisers Act, as well as those who are “accredited investors” as defined under Rule 501 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and “qualified purchasers” as defined under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. To the extent certain of Swan Capital’s individual wealth
management clients qualify, they will be eligible to participate as limited partners of Swan Nest.
Investment in Swan Nest as a limited partner involves a significant degree of risk. Investors should
review relevant information, terms and conditions relative to Swan Nest, including but not limited to
suitability, limited rights of redemption, risk factors and potential conflicts of interest, which are set
forth in the confidential private placement memorandum, Partnership Agreement, and Subscription
Agreement (together, the “Offering Documents”), which each investor is required to receive and/or
execute prior to being accepted as an investor in Swan Nest. For additional information regarding
Swan Nest, please refer to the Offering Documents.
Estate Planning
Swan Capital offers estate planning services to clients via the Wealth.com platform, an unaffiliated
third party. We use the platform to create and update legal estate planning documents including wills,
power of attorney, and other estate documents. We encourage you to review all estate planning
documents with a licensed attorney. We may have administrative access to the Wealth.com platform
to help monitor your estate plan and align those documents with your financial plan. Clients are
under no obligation to use Swan Capital for estate planning services.
Wrap Fee
The Adviser does not sponsor or participate in a third-party sponsored wrap fee program.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, we have $315,424,782 in discretionary assets under management.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Asset Management Fee Schedule
Swan Capital does not impose a minimum account balance for the opening of an account with the Adviser.
Clients will pay 1.2% annually. Fees are charged monthly in arrears based on your end of month balance,
i.e. End of Month Balance x (Fee%)/ 12.
The fees shown above are annual fees. The fee paid to Swan Capital may be negotiable based upon certain
circumstances. No increase in the annual fee shall be effective without prior written notification. Swan
Capital believes the advisory fee is reasonable considering the fees charged by other investment advisers
offering similar services/programs.
Automatic Payment of Fee
The Client agrees to authorize the Custodian to pay directly to Swan Capital upon receipt of notice, the
Account's investment advisory services fee. Fee withdrawals will occur no more frequently than monthly
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 8 of 23
from the Client's Account, unless specifically instructed otherwise by the Client.
The Custodian will send to the Client a statement, at least monthly, indicating all amounts disbursed from
the Account, including the fee paid directly to Swan Capital. Swan Capital's access to the Assets of the
Account will be limited to trading and the withdrawals authorized above. Additionally, Swan Capital will
send to the Client an invoice reflecting the amount of the fee, the [previous month/quarter average daily,
quarter or month ending balance] for the Client's Account on which the fee was based, and the specific
manner in which the fee was calculated.
Financial Planning
Swan Capital charges $250 per hour for financial planning services. Please refer to the Consulting
Agreement for the fee you will pay for the services to be provided. All fees are negotiable at the Adviser’s
discretion.
Under no circumstances will we accept prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or
more in advance. The financial planning agreement will terminate once you receive the final plan.
If the plan is implemented through us, we may receive compensation from the sale of insurance products
or advisory services recommended in the financial plan. This compensation would be in addition to the
financial planning fee you pay. The fees and expenses you pay for the purchase of these products may be
more or less than the expenses you would pay should you decide to implement our recommendations
through another investment advisory firm or broker-dealer and are typically determined by the broker-
dealer or investment company sponsoring the product. Therefore, a conflict of interest may exist between
our interests and your interests since we may recommend products that pay us compensation. We may
have an incentive to recommend particular products based upon the potential compensation rather than
your needs. This potential conflict is addressed in our Code of Ethics.
Consulting
Consulting services will be billed at a rate of $250 per hour. Please refer to the Consulting Agreement for
the fee you will pay for the services to be provided. All fees are negotiable at the Adviser’s discretion.
We do not accept prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. All
recommendations developed by us are based upon our professional judgment. We cannot guarantee the
results of any of our recommendations.
All recommendations developed by us are based upon our professional judgment. We cannot guarantee
the results of any of our recommendations.
Retirement Consulting & Held Away Assets
Fees for held away account management will not exceed 1.2% annually and may be negotiated at our
discretion. Fees are calculated and billed quarterly in arrears based on the account value at the end of the
billing period, except for accounts onboarded during a billing quarter, which will be charged a prorated
fee based on the number of days the account was managed during the billing period.
Fees are generally debited from your taxable accounts or if you do not have a taxable account, or the
assets in that account are insufficient to bill, you will receive an invoice to be paid with 30 days. Since fees
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 9 of 23
are paid in arrears, no rebate will be issues upon termination of our service and you will remain
responsible for fees up through the date of termination.
Third-party Fees
You may incur certain charges imposed by custodians and other third parties. These include custodial
fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees,
and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds, money market
funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in the
fund’s prospectus. These fees may include, but are not limited to, a management fee, upfront sales
charges, and other fund expenses. Certain strategies offered by us may involve investment in mutual
funds and/or ETFs. Load and no-load mutual funds may pay annual distribution charges, sometimes
referred to as “12(b)(1) fees”. These 12(b)(1) fees come from fund assets, and thus indirectly from clients’
assets. We do not receive any compensation from these fees. All of these fees are in addition to the
management fee you pay us. You should review all fees charged to fully understand the total amount of
fees you will pay. Services similar to those offered by us may be available elsewhere for more or less than
the amounts we charge. Our brokerage practices are discussed in more detail under Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices.
Cygnet Fund, LP and SWAN Nest Fund
For our services as investment adviser to Cygnet Funds and Swan Nest Funds, we charge between 1.00%
and 3.00% per annum of the value of the fund's assets, depending upon the share class of investor. We
are also entitled to receive a performance fee of up to 40% (forty percent) from investors who qualify as
“Qualified Clients” if such investor’s capital accounts exceed the performance high water mark, as
described in the fund's Offering Documents. Please refer to the Offering Documents for a more complete
discussion of the fee for Cygnet Fund LP and Swan Nest Fund. We do not include the value of any assets
invested in this fund when calculating our separately managed account fee.
Estate Planning
For our estate planning services, fees will vary but will generally not exceed $5000 for the year. Fees will
be paid via a direct invoice unless the client has a non-qualified account with Swan Capital and elects to
have Estate Planning fees debited directly from that account.
Other Compensation
Andrew McNair may receive additional compensation from sales of insurance products. Andrew McNair
may be eligible to receive incentive awards (including prizes such as trips or bonuses) for recommending
certain types of insurance policies or other investment products that he recommends.
While Mr. McNair endeavors at all times to put the interest of our clients first as part of our fiduciary duty,
the possibility of receiving incentive awards creates a conflict of interest and may affect [his] judgment
when making recommendations. We require that all IARs disclose this conflict of interest when such
recommendations are made. Also, we require IARs to disclose that Clients may purchase recommended
insurance products from other insurance agents not affiliated with us.
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 10 of 23
Item 6 – Performance Based Fee and Side by Side Management
Performance based fees can only be assessed to “Qualified Clients” with at least $1,100,000 under
management with our firm or a net worth of at least $2,200,000. A performance fee is a fee based on a
share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the managed assets of a client.
In connection with Swan Capital’s management of the private funds Cygnet Fund, LP and Swan Nest Fund
(“Funds”), Swan may charge investors who satisfy the “Qualified Client” definition stated above a
performance fee in addition to the advisory fee charged in Item 5 of this brochure. Swan Capital charges
up to 40% of the net profits (i.e., profits after our management fee have been deducted) achieved for the
previous year. The performance fee is payable only if the net profits in the Funds investor’s capital
account(s) exceed the performance calculation of the previous year (a “high water mark”). At our
discretion, Swan Capital may waive all or any portion of the performance fee or may agree with a client
to other changes to the performance fee by written agreement only.
In charging performance fees to some Funds investor’s capital accounts, Swan Capital faces a conflict of
interest as our firm can potentially receive greater fees from client accounts having a performance-based
compensation structure than from accounts only charged an advisory fee. As a result, there exists an
incentive to direct the best investment ideas to, or to allocate or sequence trades in favor of, the account
that pays a performance fee. Our firm has taken important steps to ensure that our performance-based
accounts are not favored over our client’s non-performance fee-based accounts. Moreover, Funds
investment objectives are alternative assets such as real estate, energy assets, other private funds, etc...
and are not in competition with the investments selected for separately managed account customers.
Performance based and non-performance based accounts are periodically reviewed and compared. In the
event that our firm finds performance-based accounts are being unduly (i.e., consistently) favored over
non-performance based accounts, our firm would take action to address the situation on a case-by-case
basis. This could include allowing non-performance based accounts to trade before performance based
accounts to the extent practicable, or if the problem persists, not allowing new performance based
accounts, waiving our performance based fees or cancelling our performance based fee arrangements
altogether and in some cases, termination of firm personnel.
Item 7 – Types of Client(s)
We provide investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
private equity real estate funds and pooled investment vehicles.
We generally have no minimum account opening balance.
• Our firm requires a minimum account balance of $1,100,000 for our performance-based fee
services. Generally, this minimum account balance requirement is not negotiable and would
be required throughout the course of the client’s relationship with our firm.
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 11 of 23
For private equity real estate funds and pooled investment vehicles, the investment minimum is $100,000,
however, at its sole discretion, Swan may accept lower investment amounts. Nonetheless, all investors in
private funds, including Cygnet Fund LP and Swan Nest, must be at least “accredited investors” as defined
above in Item 4.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We use fundamental analysis methods as part of our overall investment management discipline:
Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis is a technique that attempts to determine a security’s value by focusing on the
underlying factors that affect a company's actual business and its future prospects. Fundamental analysis
is about using real data to evaluate a security's value. It refers to the analysis of the economic well-being
of a financial entity as opposed to only its price movements.
The end goal of performing fundamental analysis is to produce a value that we can compare with the
security's current price, with the aim of figuring out what sort of position to take with that security
(underpriced = buy, overpriced = sell or short).
In order to perform this analysis, we use many resources, such as:
• Financial newspapers and magazines (e.g., Wall Street Journal, Forbes, etc.)
• Annual reports
• Prospectuses, filings
• Company press releases and websites
Investment Strategies
We employ four (4) model portfolios in the management of our client accounts. The models are made up
of mutual funds, Exchange traded funds (ETF), Stocks and Bonds:
• Aggressive Model Portfolio - 100% equity makeup with a focus for long term growth;
• Growth Model Portfolio - Majority of equities with broad diversification that are focused for long
term growth;
• Balanced Model Portfolio - Mix of bond and equity ETFs that is focused on growth
• Dividend Model Portfolio - Mix of dividend and dividend appreciation ETFs and bonds focused on
income generation
Risk of Loss
We cannot guarantee our analysis methods will yield a return. In fact, a loss of principal is always a risk.
Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. You need to understand
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 12 of 23
that investment decisions made for your account by us are subject to various market, currency, economic,
political and business risks. The investment decisions we make for you will not always be profitable nor
can we guarantee any level of performance.
Analysis Methods
Fundamental Analysis Risk
Fundamental analysis, when used in isolation, has a number of risks:
• There are an infinite number of factors that can affect the earnings of a company, and its stock
price, over time. These can include economic, political and social factors, in addition to the
various company statistics.
• The data used may be out of date.
•
It is difficult to give appropriate weightings to the factors.
•
It assumes that the analyst is competent.
•
It ignores the influence of random events such as oil spills, product defects being exposed,
and acts of God and so on.
Product Risk
Equity Securities Risk
Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and mutual funds
that invest in these securities. Equity markets can be volatile. Stock prices rise and fall based on
changes in an individual company’s financial condition and overall market conditions. Stock prices can
decline significantly in response to adverse market conditions, company-specific events, and other
domestic and international political and economic developments.
Fixed Income Risk
Fixed income securities include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, other debt instruments and mutual
funds that invest in these securities. Issuers generally pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate, and
must repay the amount borrowed at maturity. Some debt instruments, such as zero-coupon bonds, do
not pay current interest, but are sold at a discount from their face value. Prices of fixed income
securities generally decline when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Longer- term
debt and zero-coupon bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes than debt instruments with
shorter maturities.
Fixed income securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the chance that an issuer will fail to pay
interest or principal on time. Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from Nationally
Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs). These NRSROs assign ratings to securities by
assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Changes in the credit strength of an issuer may reduce the
credit rating of its debt investments and may affect their value. High-quality debt instruments are
rated at least AA or its equivalent by any NRSRO or are unrated debt instruments of equivalent quality.
Issuers of high-grade debt instruments are considered to have a very strong capacity to pay principal
and interest. Investment grade debt instruments are rated at least Baa or its equivalent by any NRSRO
or are unrated debt instruments of equivalent quality. Baa rated securities are considered to have
adequate capacity to pay principal and interest, although they also have speculative characteristics.
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 13 of 23
Lower rated debt securities are more likely to be adversely affected by changes in economic
conditions than higher rated debt securities.
U.S. Government securities include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury; issued by a
U.S. Government agency; or issued by a Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE). U.S. Treasury
securities include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, (i.e., Treasury bills, notes and bonds). U.S.
Government agency bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury (such as securities of the Government National Mortgage Association
(GNMA or Ginnie Mae)). GSE bonds are issued by certain federally chartered but privately-owned
corporations, but are neither direct obligations of, nor backed by the full faith and credit of, the U.S.
Government. GSE bonds include bonds issued by Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB), Federal Farm
Credit Banks (FCS), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) and the
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae).
Bond Fund Risk
Bond funds generally have higher risks than money market funds, largely because they typically
pursue strategies aimed at producing higher yields of the risks associated with bond funds include:
• Call Risk - The possibility that falling interest rates will cause a bond issuer to redeem—or
call—its high-yielding bond before the bond's maturity date.
• Credit Risk — the possibility that companies or other issuers whose bonds are owned by the
fund may fail to pay their debts (including the debt owed to holders of their bonds). Credit
risk is less of a factor for bond funds that invest in insured bonds or U.S. Treasury bonds. By
contrast, those that invest in the bonds of companies with poor credit ratings generally will
be subject to higher risk.
•
Interest Rate Risk — the risk that the market value of the bonds will go down when interest
rates go up. Because of this, you can lose money in any bond fund, including those that invest
only in insured bonds or Treasury bonds.
• Prepayment Risk — the chance that a bond will be paid off early. For example, if interest rates
fall, a bond issuer may decide to pay off (or "retire") its debt and issue new bonds that pay a
lower rate. When this happens, the fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in an
investment with as high a return or yield.
Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) Risk
Most ETFs are passively managed investment companies whose shares are purchased and sold on a
securities exchange. An ETF represents a portfolio of securities designed to track a particular market
segment or index. ETFs are subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional funds:

Insurance Product Risk
The rate of return on variable insurance products is not stable, but varies with the stock, bond and
money market subaccounts that you choose as investment options. There is no guarantee that you
will earn any return on your investment and there is a risk that you will lose money. Before you
consider purchasing a variable product, make sure you fully understand all of its terms. Carefully read
the prospectus. Some of the major risks include:
•
Liquidity and Early Withdrawal Risk – There may be a surrender charges for withdrawals
within a specified period, which can be as long as six to eight years. Any withdrawals before
a client reaches the age of 59 ½ are generally subject to a 10 percent income tax penalty in
addition to any gain being taxed as ordinary income.
• Sales and Surrender Charges – Asset-based sales charges or surrender charges. These charges
normally decline and eventually are eliminated the longer you hold your shares. For example,
a surrender charge could start at 7 percent in the first year and decline by 1 percent per year
until it reaches zero.
• Fees and Expenses – There are a variety of fees and expenses which can reach 2% and more
such as:
o Mortality and expense risk charges
o Administrative fees
o Underlying fund expenses
o Charges for any special features or riders.
• Bonus Credits – Some products offer bonus credits that can add a specified percentage to the
amount invested ranging from 1 percent to 5 percent for each premium payment. Bonus
credits, however, are usually not free. In order to fund them, insurance companies typically
impose high mortality and expense charges and lengthy surrender charge periods.
• Guarantees – Insurance companies provide a number of specific guarantees. For example,
they may guarantee a death benefit or an annuity payout option that can provide income for
life. These guarantees are only as good as the insurance company that gives them.
• Market Risk – The possibility that stock fund or bond fund prices overall will decline over short
or even extended periods. Stock and bond markets tend to move in cycles, with periods when
prices rise and other periods when prices fall.
• Principal Risk – The possibility that an investment will go down in value, or "lose money," from
the original or invested amount.
Mutual Funds Risk
The following is a list of some general risks associated with investing in mutual funds.
• Country Risk - The possibility that political events (a war, national elections), financial
problems (rising inflation, government default), or natural disasters (an earthquake, a poor
harvest) will weaken a country's economy and cause investments in that country to decline.
• Currency Risk -The possibility that returns could be reduced for Americans investing in foreign
securities because of a rise in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. Also

called exchange-rate risk.
•
Income Risk - The possibility that a fixed-income fund's dividends will decline as a result of
falling overall interest rates.
•
Industry Risk - The possibility that a group of stocks in a single industry will decline in price
due to developments in that industry.
•
Inflation Risk - The possibility that increases in the cost of living will reduce or eliminate a
fund's real inflation-adjusted returns.
• Manager Risk -The possibility that an actively managed mutual fund's investment adviser will
fail to execute the fund's investment strategy effectively resulting in the failure of stated
objectives.
• Market Risk -The possibility that stock fund or bond fund prices overall will decline over short
or even extended periods. Stock and bond markets tend to move in cycles, with periods when
prices rise and other periods when prices fall.
• Principal Risk -The possibility that an investment will go down in value, or "lose money," from
the original or invested amount.
Stock Fund Risk
Overall "market risk" poses the greatest potential danger for investors in stocks funds. Stock prices
can fluctuate for a broad range of reasons, such as the overall strength of the economy or demand
for particular products or services.
Overall Risks
Clients need to remember that past performance is no guarantee of future results. All funds carry some
level of risk. You may lose some or all of the money you invest, including your principal, because the
securities held by a fund goes up and down in value. Dividend or interest payments may also fluctuate,
or stop completely, as market conditions change.
Before you invest, be sure to read a fund's prospectus and shareholder reports to learn about its
investment strategy and the potential risks. Funds with higher rates of return may take risks that are
beyond your comfort level and are inconsistent with your financial goals.
While past performance does not necessarily predict future returns, it can tell you how volatile (or stable)
a fund has been over a period of time. Generally, the more volatile a fund, the higher the investment risk.
If you'll need your money to meet a financial goal in the near-term, you probably can't afford the risk of
investing in a fund with a volatile history because you will not have enough time to ride out any declines
in the stock market.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or

disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of us or the integrity of our management.
We do not have any information to disclose concerning Swan Capital or any of our IARs. We adhere to
high ethical standards for all IARs and associates.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither Swan Capital nor any of its management persons are registered as a broker-dealer or registered
as a representative of a broker-dealer, nor does it have any pending application to register. In addition,
neither Swan Capital nor its management persons are affiliated with any broker-dealer.
Swan Capital and its management persons are not registering as a commodity pool operator, futures

Other Financial Industry Affiliations
Andrew McNair, the Managing Member and Chief Compliance Officer for Swan Capital, is a licensed
insurance agent/broker with various companies. In this capacity he may recommend insurance products
and may also, as independent insurance agent, sell those recommended insurance products to clients.
When such recommendations or sales are made, a conflict of interest exists as the insurance licensed IARs
earn insurance commissions for the sale of those products, which may create an incentive to recommend
such products. We require that all IARs disclose this conflict of interest when such recommendations are
made. Also, we require IARs to disclose that clients may purchase recommended insurance products from
other insurance agents not affiliated with us.
Swan Capital, LLC is the investment adviser and general partner of Cygnet Fund, LP, a private pool
established to invest in real estate, operating companies and other private pools. Swan Capital is also the
investment adviser and general partner of Swan Nest Fund, a private pool established to invest in non-
correlated income-producing assets. A conflict of interest arises where Swan Capital recommends clients
invest in Cygnet Fund or Swan Nest, which may provide Swan Capital and its principals higher management
fees, performance fees and capital gains than would be available from servicing separately managed
accounts.
In such situation, Swan Capital is obligated to act in its client’s best interest and only
recommend investments that are suitable for the client given the client’s investment profile regardless of
the financial interests of Swan Capital and its supervised persons.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Accounts and
Personal Trading
General Information
We have adopted a Code of Ethics for all IAR’s of the firm describing its high standards of business conduct,
and fiduciary duty to you, our client. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality
of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition of rumor mongering, restrictions on
the acceptance of significant gifts, the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and

personal securities trading procedures. All of our IAR’s must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics
annually, or as amended.
Participation or Interest in Client Accounts
Our Compliance policies and procedures prohibit anyone associated with Swan Capital from having an
interest in a client account or participating in the profits of a client’s account without the approval of the
CCO.
The following acts are prohibited:
• Employing any device, scheme or artifice to defraud
• Making any untrue statement of a material fact
• Omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make a statement, in light of the
circumstances under which it is made, not misleading
• Engaging in any fraudulent or deceitful act, practice or course of business
• Engaging in any manipulative practices
Clients and prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting the CCO.
Personal Trading
We may recommend securities to you that we will purchase for our own accounts. We may trade
securities in our account that we have recommended to you as long as we place our orders after your
orders. This policy is meant to prevent us from benefiting as a result of transactions placed on behalf of
advisory accounts.
Neither Swan Capital nor any of its related persons recommend securities (or other investment products)
to advisory clients in which we or any related person has some other proprietary (ownership) interest,
other than those mentioned above.
Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with your accounts on an aggregated basis
when consistent with our obligation of best execution. When trades are aggregated, all parties will share
the costs in proportion to their investment. We will retain records of the trade Order (specifying each
participating account) and its allocation. Completed Orders will be allocated as specified in the initial
trade order. Partially filled Orders will be allocated on a pro rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained
on the Order.
Swan Capital has a personal securities transaction policy in place to monitor the personal securities
transactions and securities holdings of “Access Persons”. The policy requires that an Access Person of the
firm provide the Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee with a written report of their current
securities holdings within ten (10) days after becoming an Access Person. Additionally, each Access Person
must provide the Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee with a written report of the Access Person’s
current securities holdings at least once each twelve (12) month period thereafter on a date the Adviser
selects; provided, however that at any time that the Adviser has only one Access Person, he or she shall
not be required to submit any securities report described above.

We have established the following restrictions in order to ensure our fiduciary responsibilities regarding
insider trading are met:
• No securities for our personal portfolio(s) shall be bought or sold where this decision is
substantially derived, in whole or in part, from the role of IARs of Swan Capital, unless the
information is also available to the investing public on reasonable inquiry. In no case, shall we put
our own interests ahead of yours.
Privacy Statement
We are committed to safeguarding your confidential information and hold all personal information
provided to us in the strictest confidence. These records include all personal information that we collect
from you or receive from other firms in connection with any of the financial services they provide. We
also require other firms with whom we deal with to restrict the use of your information. Our Privacy Policy
is available upon request.
Conflicts of Interest
Swan Capital’s IARs may employ the same strategy for their personal investment accounts as it does for
its clients. However, IARs may not place their orders in a way to benefit from the purchase or sale of a
security.
We act in a fiduciary capacity. If a conflict of interest arises between us and you, we shall make every
effort to resolve the conflict in your favor. Conflicts of interest may also arise in the allocation of
investment opportunities among the accounts that we advise. We will seek to allocate investment
opportunities according to what we believe is appropriate for each account. We strive to do what is
equitable and in the best interests of all the accounts we advise.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Custodians
We typically recommend Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a registered broker-dealer, member
SIPC, as the qualified custodian.
Swan Capital is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold
your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. While we
recommend that you use Schwab as a custodian, you will decide whether to do so and will open your
account with Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with them. We do not open the
account for you, although we may assist you in doing so.
Products and services available to the Firm from Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services™ is Schwab's business serving independent investment advisory firms like us.
Schwab provides Swan Capital and our clients with access to institutional brokerage – trading, custody,
reporting and related services – many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers.
Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or
administer our clients’ accounts while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s support
services described below are generally available on an unsolicited basis (i.e., we do not have to request
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 19 of 23
them) and at no charge to us. Here is a more detailed description of Schwab’s support services:
Services that Benefit Clients Directly
Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available
through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a
significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this
paragraph generally benefit each client.
Services that May Not Directly Benefit Clients
Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly
benefit a specific client. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our
clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We
use this research to service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts. In addition to investment
research, Schwab also makes available software and other technology that:
• Provides access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account
statements);
• Facilitates trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client
accounts;
• Provides pricing and other market data;
• Facilitates payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and
• Assists with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Services that Generally Benefit Only Us
Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business
enterprise. These services include (among others) the following:
• Educational conferences and events
• Technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance
providers
Schwab will provide some of these services itself or will arrange for third-party vendors to provide the
services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay all or a part
of a third-party’s fees. Schwab may also provide us with other benefits, such as occasional business
entertainment of our personnel.
Our Interest in Schwab's Services
The availability of the services described above from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to
produce or purchase them. They are not contingent upon Swan Capital committing any specific amount
of business to Schwab in trading commissions or assets in custody. The fact that we receive these benefits
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 20 of 23
from Schwab is an incentive for us to recommend the use of Schwab rather than making such a decision
based exclusively on your interest in receiving the best value in custody services and the most favorable
execution of your transactions. This is a conflict of interest. We believe, however, that taken in the
aggregate our recommendation of Schwab as a custodian and broker is in the best interest of our clients.
Our selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality and price of Schwab’s services, and not Schwab’s
services that benefit only us.
Best Execution
We have an obligation to seek best execution for you. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor
is not the lowest possible commission cost but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative
execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services, including the value of
research provided, execution capability, commission rates, reputation and responsiveness. Therefore, we
will seek competitive commission rates, but we may not obtain the lowest possible commission rates for
account transactions.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
In selecting and recommending broker-dealers, we do not take into consideration whether or not we will
receive client referrals from the broker-dealer or third-party.
Directed Brokerage
Adviser does not accept directed brokerage. Clients must utilize Adviser’s recommended custodian.
Trading
Transactions for each client account generally will be affected independently, unless we decide to
purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. We may (but are
not obligated to) combine or “batch” such Orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate more favorable
commission rates or to allocate equitably among our clients’ differences in prices and commission or other
transaction costs. Under this procedure, transactions will be price-averaged and allocated among our
clients in proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account on any given day.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Reviews
Discretionary Portfolio Services
Reviews are conducted at least annually or as agreed to by Swan Capital and the client. Reviews will be
conducted by your adviser . You may request more frequent reviews and may set thresholds for triggering
events that would cause a review to take place. Generally, we will monitor for changes and shifts in the
economy, changes to the management and structure of a mutual fund or company in which client assets
are invested, and market shifts and corrections.

Financial planning and consulting
As part of the financial planning process, there will be an initial review of the information provided by the
client for the purposes of preparing for the planning process. Subsequent reviews may be scheduled as
needed by the client and/or Swan Capital up and until the final, written plan is provided to the client. Once
the plan has been provided the agreement will terminate.
As stated under Item 4, ongoing consulting services may include ongoing reviews of portfolios held away
from Swan Capital, ongoing reviews of household budgeting and spending, educational savings, etc.
Reports
You will be provided with account summary statements reflecting the transactions occurring in the
account and account performance on at least a monthly basis. These statements will be written or
electronic depending upon what you selected when you opened the account. You will be provided with
paper confirmations for each securities transaction executed in the account by the custodian. You are
obligated to notify us of any discrepancies between the statements provided by Swan Capital and the
custodian(s) or any concerns you have about the account(s).
Financial planning and consulting
As part of the financial planning process a written plan will be provided. Outside of the written plan, no
other report will be generated or provided to the client.
As stated under Item 4, some consulting services will result in a written report while others will be handled
through ongoing consultations between the Adviser and Client. Any written reports to be provided will be
dictated by the services needed by the client.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We do not receive any economic benefit from someone who is not a client for providing investment advice
or other advisory services to our clients nor do we directly or indirectly pay any compensation to another
person if they refer clients to us.
Item 15 – Custody
We do not have physical custody of any client’s separately managed accounts or assets. However, we are
be deemed to have constructive custody of your account(s) if we have the ability to instruct the custodian
to deduct your advisory fees from your custodial account. You should receive at least quarterly
statements from the broker-dealer or custodian that holds and maintains your investment assets. We
urge you to carefully review such statements and compare this official custodial record to the account
statements that we may provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on
accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. If you notice
any discrepancies, please contact Swan Capital.
March 31, 2026
Swan Capital
ADV Part 2A
Page 22 of 23
Additionally, where the adviser has the authority to hold or obtain possession of a client's funds or
securities, Swan Capital will be deemed to have custody of such funds or securities. Because Swan
Capital is the managing member of Cygnet Fund, LP, and Swan Nest Fund, which have investors who
are clients of Swan Capital, Swan Capital may be deemed to have custody of such client funds.
Consequently, Swan Capital has engaged an independent certified public accountant to conduct an audit
of Cygnet Fund and Swan Nest on a no less than annual basis. The results of the audit will be distributed
to investors in Cygnet Fund and Swan Nest annually.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
We manage assets on a discretionary basis. If you provide discretion authority, which will be evidenced
via the written, discretionary agreement between the client and the Adviser, we will have the authority
to determine the following without your consent:
• Securities to be bought or sold for your account
• Amount of securities to be bought or sold for your account
In all cases this discretion is exercised in a manner consistent with your stated investment objectives
for your account [and in accordance with any restrictions placed on the account(s) (if restrictions
allowed by the Adviser)].
When active asset management services are provided on a discretionary basis the client will enter into
a separate custodial agreement with the custodian. The custodian agreement will include a limited
power of attorney to trade in the client’s account(s) which authorizes the custodian to take instructions
from us regarding all investment decisions for your account.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
We do not vote proxies.
Item 18 – Financial Information
We are required to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about our financial
condition. We have no financial commitment that would impair our ability to meet any contractual and
fiduciary commitments to you, our client. We have not been the subject of any bankruptcy proceedings.
In no event shall we charge advisory fees that are both in excess of twelve hundred dollars and more
than six months in advance of advisory services rendered.
