Item 4 - Advisory Business
TD Capital is an investment advisory business located in Memphis, TN. Organized as a Limited Liability
Company, the firm was formed in 1996 and is owned by the Nimrod Gordon Thompson Revocable Trust
for Membership Interests, Jere Matthews Sights, Jr., John R. Harrell, CFP®, Christopher L. Lacy, CFP®,
Margaret C. Campbell, N. “Rod” Gordon Thompson, Jr., CFP®, Jere Matthews Sights, III, CPA, PFS,
Bryan James Koch, CPA, Jay M. McDonald. Please see Brochure Supplements, Appendix A, for
information on individuals who formulate investment advice and have direct contact with clients, or have
discretionary authority over client accounts.
The firm, TD Capital Management LLC, has been in continuous operation since its founding in 1996 and
(as of December 31, 2025) managed $1,244,462,431 of regulatory assets under management. All portfolio
management is performed under discretionary authority as granted by the clients of the firm.
At the outset of each client relationship, TD Capital spends time with the client, asking questions,
discussing the client’s investment experience and financial circumstances, and reviewing options for the
client. Based on its reviews, TD Capital generally develops with each client:
•
•
a financial outline for the client based on the client’s financial circumstances and goals, and the
client’s risk tolerance level (the “Financial Profile”); and
the client’s investment objectives and guidelines (the “Investment Plan”).
The Financial Profile is a reflection of the client’s current financial picture and a look to the future goals
of the client. The Investment Plan outlines the types of investments TD Capital will make on behalf of the
client in order to meet those goals. The Financial Profile and the Investment Plan are discussed regularly
with each client, but are not necessarily written documents.
Portfolio Management
As described above, at the beginning of a client relationship, TD Capital meets with the client, gathers
information, and performs research and analysis as necessary to develop the client’s Investment Plan. The
Investment Plan will be updated from time to time when requested by the client, or when determined to be
necessary or advisable by TD Capital based on updates to the client’s financial or other circumstances.
To implement the client’s Investment Plan, TD Capital manages the client’s investment portfolio on a
discretionary basis. As a discretionary investment adviser, TD Capital has the authority to supervise and
direct the portfolio without prior consultation with the client.
TD Capital may also recommend fixed income portfolios to investment management clients, which
consist of managed accounts of individual bonds. TD Capital will request discretionary authority within
the Investment Management Agreement from investment management clients to manage fixed income
portfolios, including the discretion to retain a third-party fixed income manager.
Pursuant to its discretionary authority granted by the Client in the Investment Management Agreement,
TD Capital may retain a fixed income securities manager. The fixed income securities manager will be
provided with the discretionary authority to invest client assets in fixed income securities consistent with
the client’s Financial Profile/Investment Plan. The manager will also monitor the account for changes in
credit ratings, security call provisions, and tax-loss harvesting opportunities (to the extent that the
manager is provided with cost basis information).
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, clients may impose certain reasonable restrictions on TD Capital
in the management of their investment portfolios, such as prohibiting the inclusion of certain types of
Page 3
investments in an investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments held in the account at
the commencement of the relationship. Each client should note, however, that restrictions imposed by a
client may adversely affect the composition and performance of the client’s investment portfolio. Each
client should also note that his or her investment portfolio is treated individually by giving consideration
to each purchase or sale for the client’s account. For these and other reasons, performance of client
investment portfolios within the same investment objectives, goals and/or risk tolerance may differ and
clients should not expect that the composition or performance of their investment portfolios would
necessarily be consistent with similar clients of TD Capital.
TD Capital does not participate in “wrap fees” accounts or arrangements, does not receive any form of
brokerage commissions or transaction fees, and does not participate in any “soft dollar” arrangements. All
fees are paid directly by the clients and adhere to the schedule noted in the next section.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
TD Capital also provides advice in the form of Financial Planning. Clients purchasing this service may
receive various written financial reports, providing the client with detailed financial information designed
to achieve their stated financial goals and objectives.
In general, the financial plan will address any or all of the following areas of concern:
• Personal: Family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information and financial goals.
• Education: Education IRAs, financial aid, state savings plans, grants and general assistance in
preparing to meet dependent’s continuing educational needs through development of an education
plan.
• Risk: Review of existing insurance policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health, disability,
long-term care, liability, home, and automobile.
• Tax & Cash Flow: Income tax and spending analysis and planning for past, current and future
years.
• Death & Disability: Cash needs at death, income needs of surviving dependents, estate planning
and disability income analysis.
• Retirement: Analysis of current strategies and investment plans to help the client achieve his or
•
her retirement goals.
Investments: Analysis of current and alternative investment holdings and costs, examining the
potential long-term effects on a client’s portfolio, recommending appropriate investment options,
allocations, or adjustments.
TD Capital gathers required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered
includes a client’s current financial status, future goals and attitudes towards risk. Related documents
supplied by the client are carefully reviewed and a written report is typically prepared. Should a client
choose to implement the recommendations in the plan, TD Capital suggest the client work closely with
his/her attorney, accountant or insurance agent. Implementation of financial plan recommendations is
entirely at the client’s discretion. Clients are encouraged to review their plan on a regular basis, especially
if there are any changes in their financial situation, goals, need, or investment objectives.
Pursuant to a separate, signed engagement letter, TD Capital also provides financial consulting services
on various topics for clients. Clients should refer to the engagement letter for specific topics, deliverables,
and terms.

Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
General Fee Information
The specific manner in which fees are charged by TD Capital is established in a client’s written agreement
(Investment Management Agreement) with TD Capital Management LLC. TD Capital generally bills its
fees on a quarterly basis. In most cases clients authorize TD Capital to directly debit fees from client
accounts. All fees are billed in arrears after each calendar quarter. Management fees are generally prorated
for material capital contributions made during the applicable calendar quarter. Accounts initiated or
terminated during a calendar quarter are charged a prorated fee. Upon termination of any account,
unearned fees will be due and payable.
Fees paid to TD Capital are exclusive of all custodial and transaction costs paid to the client’s custodian,
brokers or other third-party independent managers. Third-party independent managers will charge the
client directly for their advisory services. Please see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices for additional
information. Fees paid to TD Capital are also separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by
mutual funds, ETFs (exchange traded funds) or other investment pools to their shareholders (generally
including a management fee and fund expenses, as described in each fund’s prospectus or offering
materials). The client should review all fees charged by funds, brokers, TD Capital and others to fully
understand the total amount of fees paid by the client for investment and financial-related services.
Portfolio Management Fees
The annual fee schedule, based on a percentage of assets under management, is as follows:
Account Value
Less than $1 million
$1 million to $2 million
$2 million to $3 million
$3 million to $5 million
$5 million to $10 million
Greater than $10 million
Annual Fee
1.00%
0.90%
0.80%
0.65%
0.50%
0.40%
Accounts are billed quarterly according to the fee schedule above, subject to an annual minimum fee of
$3,000. The minimum quarterly fee is $750. If the quarterly fee calculated under the fee schedule above
is less than $750, the client will be charged the $750 minimum quarterly fee.
Fees may be negotiated for portfolio relationships greater than $20 million, or when the aggregation of
several accounts of related individuals or entities would result in lower total fees for the client(s).
This fee schedule became effective on August 26, 2026. Fees for clients who engaged TD Capital before
August 26, 2026 may vary from the fee schedule disclosed above. Other client specific circumstances may
dictate the need to negotiate a fee percentage different from the fee schedule above. Additionally, on a
case-by-case basis, TD Capital may or may not bill on legacy or restricted security positions for clients.
Financial Planning and Consulting Fees
TD Capital’s financial planning fees are determined based on the nature of the services being provided
and the complexity of each client’s circumstances. All fees are agreed upon prior to entering into a contract
with any client.
Page 5
Financial planning fees will be charged in one of two ways:
1. On an hourly basis ranging from $300 to $375 per hour.
2. As a fixed fee, typically ranging from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the nature and complexity
of the engagement, the number of financial planning topic analysis areas requested by the Client,
the amount of hours to complete the engagement and the different reports to be produced. Fixed
fees shall be mutually agreed upon with Client.
An estimate for total hours may be determined at the start of the advisory relationship. 50% of the
estimated fee may be due upon signing the advisory agreement, with the balance due upon presentation
of the plan to the client. TD Capital will never hold client funds greater than $500 for more than six (6)
months in advance of completion of the financial plan or services.
General:
Fees are computed and billed quarterly, in arrears, and are based on the average daily balance of the asset
value of the Client’s portfolio throughout the billing period. As set up by the client and agreed upon with
advisor, the account value and the applicable annual fee applied will include assets where advisor is
providing investment advice, but advisor does not have trading discretion. Fees will be prorated with
respect to new accounts opened during the quarter.
Individual accounts for immediate family members (such as husband, wife and dependent children) are
aggregated, and the fee is charged based on the total value of all family members’ accounts.
The fee schedule above may be amended from time to time by advisor upon at least forty-five (45) days
advance written notice to client, subject to client’s right to terminate the agreement before an increased
fee schedule takes effect upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to advisor.
Upon termination, advisor fees will be prorated to the effective date of termination.
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
TD Capital Management LLC does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of
capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). “Side by Side Management” refers to a
situation in which the same firm manages accounts that are billed based on a percentage of assets under
management and at the same time manages other accounts for which fees are assessed on a performance
fee basis. Because TD Capital has no performance-based fee accounts, it has no side-by-side
management.
Item 7 - Types of Clients
TD Capital provides advisory services to individuals, families, businesses, trusts, estates, charitable
institutions, pension and profit-sharing plans, and other organizations. There are no firm minimum asset
or income requirements to be a TD Capital client. However, we generally work with clients with
investable portfolios of greater than $250,000.
Page 6
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
In accordance with the Investment Plan, TD Capital will primarily invest in exchange traded funds
(ETFs), mutual funds, individual bonds, and individual stocks.
Methods of Analysis
Mutual Funds and ETFs are generally evaluated and selected based on a variety of factors, including, as
applicable and without limitation, past performance, fee structure, portfolio manager, fund sponsor, overall
ratings for safety and returns, and other factors.
Fixed income investments may be used as a strategic investment, as an instrument to fulfill liquidity or
income needs in a portfolio, or to add a component of capital preservation. TD Capital may evaluate and
select individual bonds or bond funds based on a number of factors including, without limitation, rating,
yield and duration.
Investment Strategies
TD Capital’s strategic approach is to invest each portfolio in accordance with the Plan that has been
developed specifically for each client. This means that the following strategies may be used in varying
combinations over time for a given client, depending upon the client’s individual circumstances.
Long Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those
securities will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year.
Short Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a
relatively short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities’
short-term price fluctuations.
Risk of Loss
While TD Capital seeks to diversify clients’ investment portfolios across various asset classes consistent
with their Investment Plan in an effort to reduce risk of loss, all investment portfolios are subject to risks.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that client investment portfolios will be able to fully meet their
investment objectives and goals, or that investments will not lose money. Investing in securities
involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
Below is a description of several of the principal risks that client investment portfolios face.
Management Risks. While TD Capital manages client investment portfolios based on TD Capital’s
experience, research and proprietary methods, the value of client investment portfolios will change daily
based on the performance of the underlying securities in which they are invested. Accordingly, client
investment portfolios are subject to the risk that TD Capital allocates assets to asset classes that are
adversely affected by unanticipated market movements, and the risk that TD Capital’s specific investment
choices could underperform their relevant indexes.
Risks of Investments in Mutual Funds, ETFs and Other Investment Pools. As described above, TD Capital
will invest client portfolios in mutual funds, ETFs and other investment pools (“pooled investment funds”).
Investments in pooled investment funds are generally less risky than investing in individual securities
because of their diversified portfolios; however, these investments are still subject to risks associated with
the markets in which they invest. In addition, pooled investment funds’ success will be related to the skills
of their particular managers and their performance in managing their funds. Pooled investment funds are
also subject to risks due to regulatory restrictions applicable to registered investment companies under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
Page 7
Equity Market Risks. TD Capital may invest portions of client assets directly into equity investments, most
often pooled investment funds that invest in the stock market. As noted above, while pooled investments
have diversified portfolios that may make them less risky than investments in individual securities, funds
that invest in stocks and other equity securities are nevertheless subject to the risks of the stock market.
These risks include, without limitation, the risks that stock values will decline due to daily fluctuations in
the markets, and that stock values will decline over longer periods (e.g., bear markets) due
to general
market declines in the stock prices for all companies, regardless of any individual security’s prospects.
Fixed Income Risks. TD Capital may invest portions of client assets directly into fixed income
instruments, such as bonds and notes, or may invest in pooled investment funds that invest in bonds and
notes. While investing in fixed income instruments, either directly or through pooled investment funds, is
generally less volatile than investing in stock (equity) markets, fixed income investments nevertheless are
subject to risks. These risks include, without limitation, interest rate risks (risks that changes in interest
rates will devalue the investments), credit risks (risks of default by borrowers), or maturity risk (risks that
bonds or notes will change value from the time of issuance to maturity).
Options. Options allow clients to buy or sell a security at a contracted “strike” price at or within a specific
period of time. Clients pay or collect a premium for buying or selling an option. Clients transact in
options to either hedge (i.e., limit) losses in an attempt to reduce risk or to speculate on the performance
of the underlying securities. Options transactions contain a number of inherent risks, including the partial
or total loss of principal in the event that the value of the underlying security or index does not
increase/decrease to the level of the respective strike price. Holders of options contracts are also subject to
default by the option writer which could result in the option writer being unable to perform its contractual
obligations.
Foreign Securities Risks. TD Capital may invest portions of client assets into pooled investment funds
that invest internationally. While foreign investments are important to the diversification of client
investment portfolios, they carry risks that may be different from U.S. investments. For example, foreign
investments may not be subject to uniform audit, financial reporting or disclosure standards, practices or
requirements comparable to those found in the U.S. Foreign investments are also subject to foreign
withholding taxes and the risk of adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations. Finally,
foreign investments may involve currency risk, which is the risk that the value of the foreign security will
decrease due to changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar and the security’s underlying foreign
currency.
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to evaluation of TD Capital or the integrity of TD Capital’s
management. TD Capital Management LLC has no history of any disciplinary action of any kind.
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
N. Gordon Thompson is a member of the Board of Directors of Evolve Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding
company headquartered in Memphis, TN. He also serves as trustee or co-trustee for several family
trusts unrelated to TD Capital Management LLC. As trustee, he oversees the investment management
of non-related Investment Advisors. N. Gordon Thompson devotes the majority of his professional
time working for TD Capital.
Page 8
As described above in Item 4, TD Capital may exercise discretionary authority provided by a client to
select an independent third-party investment manager for the management of portfolios of individual
fixed income securities.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
TD Capital Management LLC has adopted a Code of Ethics for the purpose of instructing personnel in
their ethical obligations and to provide rules for their personal securities transactions. We owe a duty of
loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards our clients and the obligation to adhere not only to the specific
provisions of the Code but to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code of Ethics covers a
range of topics that includes: general ethical principles, receipt and giving of gifts, reporting personal
securities trading, exceptions to reporting securities trading, reportable securities, initial public offerings
and private placements, reporting ethical violations, distribution of the Code of Ethics, review and
enforcement processes, amendments to Form ADV, and supervisory procedures. All supervised persons
of TD Capital must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended. We will
provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request.
Members and employees of TD Capital from time to time purchase stocks, mutual funds, exchange traded
funds, and/or bonds that TD Capital recommends or purchases under discretion for clients.
It is TD Capital’s policy that the firm will not effect any principal or agency cross securities transactions
for client accounts. TD Capital will also not cross trades between client accounts. Principal transactions
are generally defined as transactions where an adviser, acting as principal for its own account or the
account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. An agency
cross transaction is defined as a transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation to a
transaction in which the investment adviser, or any person controlled by or under common control with
the investment adviser, acts as broker for both the advisory client and for another person on the other side
of the transaction. Agency cross transactions may arise where an adviser is dually registered as a broker-
dealer or has an affiliated broker-dealer. TD Capital is not registered as a broker-dealer and does not have
an affiliated broker-dealer.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
Best Execution and Benefits of Brokerage Selection
When given discretion to select the brokerage firm that will execute orders in client accounts, TD Capital
seeks “best execution” for client trades, which is a combination of a number of factors, including, without
limitation, quality of execution, services provided and commission rates. Therefore, TD Capital may use
or recommend the use of brokers who do not charge the lowest available commission in the recognition of
research and securities transaction services, or quality of execution. Research services received with
transactions may include proprietary or third-party research (or any combination), and may be used in
servicing any or all of TD Capital’s clients. Therefore, research services received may not be used for the
account for which the particular transaction was effected.
TD Capital participates in the Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services (“FIWS”) program. While there is no
direct link between the investment advice TD Capital provides and participation in the FIWS program, TD
Capital receives certain economic benefits from the FIWS program. These benefits may include software
and other technology that provides access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account
statements), facilitates trade execution (and allocation of aggregated orders for multiple client accounts),
Page 9
provides research, pricing information and other market data, facilitates the payment of TD Capital’s fees
from its clients’ accounts, and assists with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many
of these services may be used to service all or a substantial number of TD Capital’s accounts, including
accounts not held at Fidelity. Fidelity may also make available to TD Capital other services intended to
help TD Capital manage and further develop its business. These services may include consulting,
publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession,
regulatory compliance and marketing. In addition, Fidelity may make available, arrange and/or pay for
these types of services to be rendered to TD Capital by independent third parties. Fidelity may discount or
waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services, pay all or a part of the fees of a third-
party providing these services to TD Capital, and/or Fidelity may pay for travel expenses relating to
participation in such training. Finally, participation in the FIWS program provides TD Capital with access
to mutual funds which normally require significantly higher minimum initial investments or are normally
available only to institutional investors.
The benefits received through participation in the FIWS program do not necessarily depend upon the
proportion of transactions directed to Fidelity. The benefits are received by TD Capital, in part because of
commission revenue generated for Fidelity by TD Capital’s clients. This means that the investment activity
in client accounts is beneficial to TD Capital, because Fidelity does not assess a fee to TD Capital for
these services. This creates an incentive for TD Capital to continue to recommend Fidelity to its clients.
While it may be possible to obtain similar custodial, execution and other services elsewhere at a lower
cost, TD Capital believes that Fidelity provides an excellent combination of these services.
Directed Brokerage
TD Capital does not allow directed brokerage accounts.
Aggregated Trade Policy
TD Capital typically directs trading in individual client accounts as and when trades are appropriate based
on the client’s Investment Plan, without regard to activity in other client accounts. However, from time to
time, TD Capital may aggregate trades together for multiple client accounts, most often when these
accounts are being directed to sell the same securities at the same time. If such an aggregated trade is not
completely filled, TD Capital will allocate shares received (in an aggregated purchase) or sold (in an
aggregated sale) across participating accounts on a pro rata or other fair basis; provided, however, that any
participating accounts that are owned by TD Capital or its officers, directors, or employees will be excluded
first.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
TD Capital’s financial planning practice, due to the nature of its business and client needs, does not include
blocking trades, negotiating commissions with broker dealers or obtaining volume discounts, nor
necessarily obtaining the best price. Clients will be required to select their own broker dealers and insurance
companies for the implementation of financial planning recommendations. TD Capital may recommend any
one of several brokers. TD Capital clients must independently evaluate these brokers before opening an
account. The factors considered by TD Capital when making this recommendation are the broker's ability
to provide professional services, TD Capital’s experience with the broker, the broker's reputation, and the
broker's financial strength, among other factors. TD Capital financial planning clients may use any broker
or dealer of their choice.
Item 13 - Review of Accounts
All Portfolio Management accounts are reviewed on a monthly basis for consistency with objectives set
forth by the client and such reviews are documented and dated. Any deviations from client objectives are
considered and dealt with in these reviews. Team members include: Managing Member, N. Gordon
Page 10
Thompson, Portfolio Services: John Harrell, Lee Lacy, Jay McDonald, Rod Thompson, Matt Sights III,
and Colin Prince; and Client Services: Peggy Campbell, Jessica Collier, Hope Crouch, and Whitney
Cruzen. The team works together to review client portfolios, make trades, and assist with client requests.
All portfolios and accounts receive monthly consideration. The level of the review and analysis of each
portfolio is determined each month based on the needs of that portfolio including stage of phasing
schedule, cash flow considerations, change in client needs, etc. Trades for portfolios are recommended
and executed by Messrs. N. Gordon Thompson, Harrell, Lacy, McDonald, R. Thompson, M. Sights III,
and Prince.
All accounts are reviewed on a monthly basis for consistency with objectives set forth by the client and
such reviews are documented and dated.
TD Capital encourages clients to review their monthly or quarterly statements and trade confirmations
received directly from their broker/custodian. Clients have the option (through Fidelity) to receive paper
statements or enroll in online access and/or delivery through Fidelity Investments. TD Capital prepares
and mails or emails quarterly reports of the accounts under management directly to the clients. These
reports also include explanations of the quarterly billings for investment management fees.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Financial planning and consulting clients will be reviewed as contracted for at the inception of the
relationship. Financial planning and consulting clients will receive reports as contracted for at the
inception of the relationship.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Employees of TD Capital will be compensated for successfully referring prospective clients to the Firm.
At the time of such referrals, prospects will be provided with a copy of this disclosure Brochure. The
referral of clients creates a potential conflict of interest, however prospects are not obligated to retain the
Firm for advisory services.
As noted above, TD Capital may receive some benefits from Fidelity based on the amount of client assets
held at Fidelity. Please see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices for more information. However, Fidelity is not
paid to refer clients to TD Capital. TD Capital does not use outside solicitors.
Item 15 - Custody
Fidelity is the custodian of nearly all client accounts at TD Capital. From time to time however, clients
may select an alternate broker to hold accounts in custody. In any case, it is the custodian’s responsibility
to provide clients with confirmations of trading activity, tax forms and at least quarterly account
statements. Clients are advised to review this information carefully, and to notify TD Capital of any
questions or concerns. Clients are also asked to promptly notify TD Capital if the custodian fails to provide
statements on each account held.
Based on the SEC definition of custody, TD Capital's management of certain client retirement accounts
(such as 401(k)s and annuities) held outside of Fidelity may cause TD Capital to be deemed to have
custody. TD Capital may also be deemed to have custody because it assists clients with depositing checks
into their brokerage accounts. As a result, TD Capital undergoes an annual surprise examination by an
independent public accountant.
Page 11
From time to time and in accordance with TD Capital’s agreement with clients, TD Capital will provide
additional reports. The account balances reflected on these reports should be compared to the balances
shown on the brokerage statements to ensure accuracy. At times there may be small differences due to the
timing of dividend reporting, pending trades or other similar issues.
Item 16 - Investment Discretion
As described above under Item 4 - Advisory Business, TD Capital manages portfolios on a discretionary
basis. This means that after an Investment Plan is developed for the client’s investment portfolio, TD
Capital will execute that plan without specific consent from the client for each transaction. For
discretionary accounts, a Limited Power of Attorney (“LPOA”) is executed by the client, giving TD
Capital the authority to carry out various activities in the account, generally including the following: trade
execution; the ability to request checks on behalf of the client; and, the withdrawal of advisory fees directly
from the account. TD Capital then directs investment of the client’s portfolio using its discretionary
authority. The client may limit the terms of the LPOA to the extent consistent with the client’s investment
advisory agreement with TD Capital and the requirements of the client’s custodian. The discretionary
relationship is further described in the agreement between TD Capital and the client.
Item 17 - Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, TD Capital does not have any authority to and does not vote proxies
on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and
all securities maintained in client portfolios. TD Capital may provide advice to clients regarding the clients’
voting of proxies.
Item 18 - Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information
or disclosures about TD Capital’s financial condition. TD Capital Management LLC has no financial
commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and has not
been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
TD Capital does not require nor solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or
more in advance and therefore has no disclosure required for this item.
