Item 4: Advisory Business
Firm Description
Types of Advisory Services
Teeple Wealth Management, LLC dba Teeple Snyder Newsome Wealth & Tax Management
(here after TSN) is a firm engaged in the business of providing sound financial and
investment advice to its clients and has been doing so since its inception in May of 2008.
Matt Teeple is the primary owner.
ASSET MANAGEMENT FOR LIFTOFF CLIENTS
TSN offers discretionary asset management services to advisory clients using the Schwab
Institutional Intelligent Portfolios. Clients will complete a questionnaire to establish their
goals, risk tolerance and time horizon to determine the appropriate portfolio. This platform
is made up of diversified portfolios of Mutual Funds monitored daily and automatically
rebalanced as needed.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
TSN offers discretionary and non-discretionary asset management services to advisory
Clients. TSN will offer Clients ongoing asset management services through determining
individual investment goals, time horizons, objectives, and risk tolerance. Investment
strategies, investment selection, asset allocation, portfolio monitoring and the overall
investment program will be based on the above factors.
Discretionary
When the Client provides TSN discretionary authority the Client will sign a limited
trading authorization or equivalent. TSN will have the authority to execute transactions
in the account without seeking Client approval on each transaction.
Non-Discretionary
When the Client elects to use TSN on a non-discretionary basis, TSN will determine the
securities to be bought or sold and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold.
However, TSN will obtain prior Client approval on each and every transaction before
executing any transaction.
ASSETS HELD AWAY
TSN offers services to clients on assets not held with TSN’s custodian. For example, qualified
plans, variable annuity sub-account selection, etc. TSN will work with individuals on
determining their individual investment goals, time horizons, objectives, and risk tolerance.
Investment strategies, investment selection, and asset allocation are based on the above
factors. The accounts will be monitored on at least a quarterly basis. TSN reviews these
accounts by the client providing permission to have the account information fed to the firm
via data feeds. The Firm then provides advice to the Client regarding recommended trades
bases on the investment options available in the plan. TSN does not have access to execute
trades, the execution of trades is at the discretion of the client. If the client prefers, they can
meet with their advisor and login to their account and have their advisor assist them with the
trades. TSN does not have any relationship related to the recommendation of any product and
does not receive any direct or indirect compensation.
OINGOING FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES
TSN provides ongoing planning and consulting services. The services may include, but are not
limited to retirement planning, insurance and risk planning, tax planning, debt reduction,
budgeting, selecting group benefits, stock option planning and restricted stock option

planning. Ongoing services will remain in effect year over year unless cancelled in writing by
either party by giving the other party thirty (10) days written notice. TSN will then pro-rate
the fee that has been collected up to the effective termination date and issue the client a
refund based on the percentage of work TSN has completed.
LIMTED SCOPE FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES
TSN provides limited scope planning and consulting services for clients not in need of
ongoing comprehensive planning services. The services may include, but are not limited to
retirement planning, insurance and risk planning, tax planning, debt reduction, budgeting,

information has been provided to TSN by Client. The limited scope planning services are
considered complete upon delivery of the written plan/recommendations.

non-discretionary basis. As an investment advisor TSN has a fiduciary duty to act in the best
interest of the Client. The plan sponsor is still ultimately responsible for the decisions made
in their plan, though using TSN can help the plan sponsor delegate liability by following a
diligent process.

investment options for a particular participant or beneficiary under the Plan.

TSN
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule
ASSET MANAGEMENT FOR LIFTOFF CLIENTS
TSN charges a flat annualized fee of 1.3% of the assets under management. The fee shall be
split into quarterly installments to be paid in advance to Advisor on a quarterly basis. For
clients with less than $25,000 in asset under management, TSN will charge an initial $400
enrollment fee. Should the client desire to terminate the advisory relationship, they simply
need to provide written notice to the advisor with 10 days notice of their intent to terminate
the relationship. TSN will then pro-rate the fee that has been collected up to the effective
termination date and issue the client a refund for the remaining difference that had been
paid in advance. For Liftoff Clients, fees are automatically deducted from Client accounts.
ASSET MANAGEMENT AND ASSETS HELD AWAY
Client will pay Advisor a fee for its services. The fee shall be split into quarterly installments
to be paid in advance to Advisor on a quarterly basis with a minimum annual fee of $2,500.
If the amount of the fee is greater than the $2,500 annual minimum, the actual amount of the
annual fee will be determined as follows:
Client will pay a single fixed fee for asset management and assets held away. The fee shall
be split into quarterly installments to be paid in advance to Advisor on a quarterly basis as
follows:
- 9 -
Portfolio Value
First $1,500,000
Next $1,000,000
Over $2,500,000
Maximum Annual Fee
1.0%
.85%
.50%
The Portfolio Value for the initial year is based on the date of entry into the agreement or
account opening by combining the value of all accounts managed by TSN and any assets held
away. The Portfolio Value for all subsequent years is based on the 12/31 balance of the
combined value of all accounts managed by TSN for the previous year.
This is a blended fee schedule, the asset management fee is calculated by applying different
rates to different portions of the portfolios. TSN shall aggregate related Client accounts for
the purposes determining the annualized fee. Fees are negotiable at the discretion of TSN.
The calculation for determining the quarterly fee is based on the formula [(F1 x PV1) + (F2
x PV2) + (F3 x PV3)]/4.
F1 = Fee for first tier of fee schedule
PV1 = Portfolio Value at first tier
F2 = Fee for second tier of fee schedule
PV2 = Portfolio Value at second tier
F3 = Fee for third tier of fee schedule
PV3 = Portfolio Value at third tier
For example, the annual fee for a Portfolio Value of $3,500,000 would be:
[($1,500,000 x 1%) + ($1,000,000 x .85%) + ($1,000,000 x .50%)]= $28,500.
The quarterly fee for a Portfolio Value of $3,500,000 would be:
[($1,500,000 x 1%) + ($1,000,000 x .85%) + ($1,000,000 x .50%)]/4 = $7,125
Fees are calculated annually based upon the December 31st ending balance of the assets
under management and then invoiced quarterly and paid one quarter in advance. Should
the client desire to terminate the advisory relationship, they simply need to provide written
notice to the advisor with 10 days notice of their intent to terminate the relationship. TSN
will then pro-rate the fee that has been collected up to the effective termination date and
issue the client a refund for the remaining difference that had been paid in advance.
Clients who hold assets at T.D. Ameritrade, where Teeple Wealth Management is an
institutional client, have the option to have their fee directly debited from one of their
accounts or to pay the fee separately on their own.
ONGOING FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES
Fees for planning services are based on the scope of the project with a maximum annual fee
of $10,000 The final fee is negotiated and agreed upon on a case by case basis. Fees are due
in equal payments quarterly in advance. . Should the client desire to terminate the advisory
relationship, they simply need to provide written notice to the advisor with 10 days notice
of their intent to terminate the relationship. TSN will then pro-rate the fee that has been
- 10 -
collected up to the effective termination date and issue the client a refund based on the
percentage of work TSN has completed. TSN, at their sole discretion may waive all or part of
the planning and consulting fee at their discretion based on other services provided to the
Client.
LIMTED SCOPE FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES
Limited scope financial planning and consulting services are offered at an hourly rate of $250
per hour or a project fee up to $10,000. Prior to the commencement of services, Client will
be provided the estimated number of hours to complete the plan. Fees are due upon
execution the agreement. Should the client desire to terminate the advisory relationship,
they simply need to provide written notice to the advisor with 10 days notice of their intent
to terminate the relationship. TSN will then pro-rate the fee that has been collected up to
the effective termination date and issue the client a refund based on the percentage of work
TSN has completed.
Financial planning Clients have the option to have their planning fees directly debited from
one of their accounts managed by us or to pay the fee separately on their own.
ERISA PLAN SERVICES
An initial start up fee will be charged based on the number of participants and demographics
of the plan. This will be disclosed in Schedule A of the ERISA Agreement. Group enrollment
meetings will be billed at $1,500 per day. The ongoing annual fees are based on the market
value of the Included Assets and will not exceed 1%. The annual fee is negotiable and may be
charged as a percentage of the Included Assets or as a flat fee. Fees may be charged quarterly
or monthly in arrears or in advance based on the assets as calculated by the custodian or
record keeper of the Included Assets (without adjustments for anticipated withdrawals by
Plan participants or other anticipated or scheduled transfers or distribution of assets). If the
services to be provided start any time other than the first day of a quarter or month, the fee
will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the quarter or month. Should the
client desire to terminate the advisory relationship, they simply need to provide written
notice to the advisor with 10 days notice of their intent to terminate the relationship. TSN
will then pro-rate the fee that has been collected up to the effective termination date and
issue the client a refund for the remaining difference that had been paid in advance.
The fee schedule, which includes compensation of TSN for the services is described in detail
in Schedule A of the ERISA Plan Agreement. The Plan is obligated to pay the fees, however
the Plan Sponsor may elect to pay the fees. Client may elect to be billed directly or have fees
deducted from Plan Assets. TSN does not reasonably expect to receive any additional
compensation, directly or indirectly, for its services under this Agreement.
NON-ERISA PLAN SERVICES
The fees for these services are based on an initial fee based on $250 per hour. Prior to
executing an agreement, Client will be provided a fee estimate for services. Fees are due upon
execution of the agreement. Initial services are completed within 6 month of signing the
agreement. Clients may elect to hire us either for a one-time service or for ongoing services
year to year. Should the client desire to terminate the advisory relationship, they simply need
to provide written notice to the advisor with 10 days notice of their intent to terminate the
- 11 -
Client Payment of Fees
relationship. TSN will then pro-rate the fee that has been collected up to the effective
termination date and issue the client a refund based on the number of hours TSN has worked.
Investment management fees are usually deducted from the client account unless other
arrangements have been made.
Fees for specific planning and/or consulting when no asset management services are
provided are paid direct to TSN at the execution of the agreement.
Additional Client Fees Charged
Fees for ERISA plans are typically paid from plan assets.
While TSN never earns anything other than the fee it charges its clients, there are other fees
the client should expect to incur through the course of doing business which are charged by
3rd parties. These fees can include charges from the custodian holding the client's assets,
transaction fees, annual mutual funds expenses, etc. TSN makes every effort possible to
reduce these expenses on the client's behalf to the fullest extent possible including our policy
of never selling commission or load based investments in addition to diligently seeking out
custodians who are very competitively and reasonably priced.
Prepayment of Client Fees
For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure.
External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
TSN does not require any prepayment of fees of more than $1200 per Client and six months
or more in advance.
TSN does not receive any external compensation for the sale of securities to Clients, nor do
any of the investment advisor representatives of TSN.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Sharing of Capital Gains
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed
securities.
TSN does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of interest.
Performance based compensation may create an incentive for TSN to recommend an
investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the Client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
TSN generally provides investment advice to individuals, high net worth individuals, Pension
and profit sharing plans, corporations or business entities.
Account Minimums

Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
In formulating an investment strategy for its clients, Teeple Wealth Management will collect
information from each client related to their goals and risk tolerances in order to construct
a portfolio that is diversified across multiple asset classes and designed to meet the client's
objectives. This process is entirely goal focused and keeps the client's risk tolerance in mind.
This process will result in an investment strategy including allocation targets for each asset
class, unique to each client, which the portfolio can then be managed around. Most often,
this will mean regular rebalancing to these strategic targets as the market fluctuates.
Occasionally, however, the investment strategy may also include decisions to intentionally
become over or underweight a particular asset class as recommended by the advisor and
agreed upon by the client when the market seems to be presenting a unique opportunity.
The advice to do so is typically based upon the advisor's research of the market environment
which includes the following types of analysis:
Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and
expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in
stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that
the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value.
Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market
trends. The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns
can be identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not always follow
patterns and relying solely on this method may not take into account new patterns that
emerge over time.
Investment Strategy
Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified,
can be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are twofold: 1) the
markets do not always repeat cyclical patterns; and 2) if too many investors begin to
implement this strategy, then it changes the very cycles these investors are trying to exploit.
Security Specific Material Risks
The investment strategy for a specific Client is based upon the objectives stated by the Client
during consultations. The Client may change these objectives at any time by providing
written notice to TSN. Each Client executes a Client profile form or similar form that
documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy.
• Market Risk
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment
approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment
risks and should discuss these risks with TSN:
: The prices of securities held by mutual funds in which Clients invest
may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including
those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by a fund;
conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional
or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate and
- 13 -
•
commodity price fluctuations. Investors should have a long-term perspective and
Interest-rate Risk
be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines in market value.
•
: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become
Inflation Risk
less attractive, causing their market values to decline.
: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more
than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of
• Currency Risk
inflation.
• Reinvestment Risk
: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also
referred to as exchange rate risk.
• Liquidity Risk
: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may
have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This
primarily relates to fixed income securities.
• Management Risk:
: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties
are not.
• Equity Risk:
The advisor’s investment approach may fail to produce the
intended results. If the advisor’s assumptions regarding the performance of a
specific asset class or fund are not realized in the expected time frame, the overall
performance of the Client’s portfolio may suffer.
• Fixed Income Risk:
Equity securities tend to be more volatile than other investment
choices. The value of an individual mutual fund or ETF can be more volatile than
the market as a whole. This volatility affects the value of the Client’s overall
portfolio. Small- and mid-cap companies are subject to additional risks. Smaller
companies may experience greater volatility, higher failure rates, more limited
markets, product lines, financial resources, and less management experience than
larger companies. Smaller companies may also have a lower trading volume,
which may disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make them fall
more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies.
•
The issuer of a fixed income security may not be able to make
interest and principal payments when due. Generally, the lower the credit rating
of a security, the greater the risk that the issuer will default on its obligation. If a
rating agency gives a debt security a lower rating, the value of the debt security
will decline because investors will demand a higher rate of return. As nominal
interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities held by a fund is likely to
decrease. A nominal interest rate is the sum of a real interest rate and an expected
Investment Companies Risk:
inflation rate.
When a Client invests in open end mutual funds or
ETFs, the Client indirectly bears their proportionate share of any fees and
- 14 -
• REIT Risk:
expenses payable directly by those funds. Therefore, the Client will incur higher
expenses, which may be duplicative. In addition, the Client’s overall portfolio may
be affected by losses of an underlying fund and the level of risk arising from the
investment practices of an underlying fund (such as the use of derivatives). ETFs
are also subject to the following risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market
price that is above or below their net asset value or (ii) trading of an ETF’s shares
may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the
shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit
breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading
generally. Adviser has no control over the risks taken by the underlying funds in
which Client invests.
• Derivatives Risk:
To the extent that a Client invests in REITs, it is subject to risks
generally associated with investing in real estate, such as (i) possible declines in
the value of real estate, (ii) adverse general and local economic conditions, (iii)
possible lack of availability of mortgage funds, (iv) changes in interest rates, and
(v) environmental problems. In addition, REITs are subject to certain other risks
related specifically to their structure and focus such as: dependency upon
management skills; limited diversification; the risks of locating and managing
financing for projects; heavy cash flow dependency; possible default by
borrowers; the costs and potential losses of self-liquidation of one or more
holdings; the possibility of failing to maintain exemptions from securities
registration; and, in many cases, relatively small market capitalization, which may
result in less market liquidity and greater price volatility.
• Foreign Securities Risk:
Funds in a Client’s portfolio may use derivative instruments. The
value of these derivative instruments derives from the value of an underlying
asset, currency or index. Investments by a fund in such underlying funds may
involve the risk that the value of the underlying fund’s derivatives may rise or fall
more rapidly than other investments, and the risk that an underlying fund may
lose more than the amount that it invested in the derivative instrument in the first
place. Derivative instruments also involve the risk that other parties to the
derivative contract may fail to meet their obligations, which could cause losses.
Funds in which Clients invest may invest in foreign
securities. Foreign securities are subject to additional risks not typically
associated with investments in domestic securities. These risks may include,
among others, currency risk, country risks (political, diplomatic, regional
conflicts, terrorism, war, social and economic instability, currency devaluations
and policies that have the effect of limiting or restricting foreign investment or the
movement of assets), different trading practices, less government supervision,
less publicly available information, limited trading markets and greater volatility.
To the extent that underlying funds invest in issuers located in emerging markets,
the risk may be heightened by political changes, changes in taxation, or currency
controls that could adversely affect the values of these investments. Emerging
markets have been more volatile than the markets of developed countries with
more mature economies.
- 15 -
• Long-term purchases
• Short-term purchases
: Long-term investments are those vehicles purchased with
the intension of being held for more than one year. Typically the expectation of
the investment is to increase in value so that it can eventually be sold for a profit.
In addition, there may be an expectation for the investment to provide income.
One of the biggest risks associated with long-term investments is volatility, the
fluctuations in the financial markets that can cause investments to lose value.
• Trading risk
: Short-term investments are typically held for one year or
less. Generally there is not a high expectation for a return or an increase in value.
Typically, short-term investments are purchased for the relatively greater degree
of principal protection they are designed to provide. Short-term investment
vehicles may be subject to purchasing power risk — the risk that your
investment’s return will not keep up with inflation.
• Options Trading
: Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is
no assurance that the investment objective of any fund or investment will be
achieved.
• Trading on Margin:
: The risks involved with trading options are that they are very
time sensitive investments. An options contract is generally a few months. The
buyer of an option could lose his or her entire investment even with a correct
prediction about the direction and magnitude of a particular price change if the
price change does not occur in the relevant time period (i.e., before the option
expires). Additionally, options are less tangible than some other investments. An
option is a “book-entry” only investment without a paper certificate of ownership.
• Leveraged Risk
In a cash account, the risk is limited to the amount of money
that has been invested. In a margin account, risk includes the amount of money
invested plus the amount that has been loaned. As market conditions fluctuate,
the value of marginable securities will also fluctuate, causing a change in the
overall account balance and debt ratio. As a result, if the value of the securities
held in a margin account depreciates, the Client will be required to deposit
additional cash or make full payment of the margin loan to bring account back up
to maintenance levels. Clients who cannot comply with such a margin call may be
sold out or bought in by the brokerage firm.
• Equity Linked CD Risk:
: The risks involved with using leverage may include compounding
of returns (this works both ways – positive and negative), possible reset periods,
volatility, use of derivatives, active trading and high expenses.
Penalties may apply to early withdrawals. Fair market value
of CD’s when sold in the secondary market may be worth more or less than face
value. May or may not be FDIC insured. Returns are not based solely on market
returns, as there may be a maximum rate of interest the CD will earn. May be taxed
on income earned, but interest isn’t accrued (received) until the CD matures. Many
CDs may have “call” features, allowing the bank to close the contract early with no
penalty, paying back principle and any accrued interest.
- 16 -
• Structured Notes Risk:
• Hedge Funds Risk:
The risks involved with using structured notes are credit
risk of the issuing investment bank, illiquidity, and there is a risk to the pricing
accuracy as most structured notes do not trade after issuance.
• Private Equity/Placement Risk:
The risks involved with hedge funds are that they may invest in
unregistered investments that are not subject to the SEC's registration and
disclosure requirements. They may have risky investment strategies, which may
include speculative investment and trading strategies. Both unregistered and
registered hedge funds are illiquid investments and are subject to restrictions on
transferability and resale. The tax structure of investments in hedge funds may be
complex.
• Alternative Investments:
Because offerings are exempt from registration
requirements, no regulator has reviewed the offerings to make sure the risks
associated with the investment and all material facts about the entity raising
money are adequately disclosed. Securities offered through private placements
are generally illiquid, meaning there are limited opportunities to resell the
security. Risk of the underlying investment may be significantly higher than
publicly traded investments.
Alternative investments involve a high degree of risk and
can be illiquid due to restrictions on transfer and lack of a secondary trading
market. They can be highly leveraged, speculative and volatile, and an investor
could lose all or a substantial amount of an investment.

Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Criminal or Civil Actions
Administrative Enforcement Proceedings
TSN and its management have not been involved in any criminal or civil action.
Self- Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings
TSN and its management have not been involved in administrative enforcement
proceedings.
TSN and its management have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events that are
material to a Client’s or prospective Client’s evaluation of TSN or the integrity of its
management.
- 17 -
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration
Futures or Commodity Registration
TSN is not registered as a broker- dealer and no affiliated representatives of TSN are
registered representatives of a broker-dealer.
Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest
Neither TSN nor its affiliated representatives are registered or have an application pending
to register as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or a commodity
trading advisor.
Mark Olsen is also owner of Olsen Enterprises LLC where he provides financial compilation
statements and review engagements. He splits his time between TWM and Olsen
Enterprises. He will offer Clients services from those activities. As an accountant, he may
receive separate yet typical fees.
TSN Wealth & Tax Management also provides tax preparation and accounting services to
advisory clients. Clients will pay separate yet typical fees for these services.
These practices represent conflicts of interest because it gives an incentive to recommend
services based on the fee received. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures and
the firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first. Clients have the
Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of Interest
option to use an accountant of their choosing.
TSN does not select or recommend other investment advisors.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Description
TSN has adopted and abides by the Code of Ethics as set forth by the Certified Financial
Planner Board of Standards. This Code of Ethics holds TSN to high standards in integrity,
objectivity, competence, fairness, confidentiality, professionalism and diligence. This Code
of Ethics will be provided upon request.
As fiduciary to its clients, TSN has also, at every opportunity, gone to great lengths to ensure
the ethical treatment of its clients, even going beyond the requirements of the law with
regards to compensation and conflicts of interest. Whereas the law allows many types of
compensation and soft dollar arrangements so longs as they are disclosed, we believe a fee-
only model best aligns our interests with that of our clients. And whereas the law requires
any conflict of interest to be disclosed, we believe that all conflicts of interest should be
eliminated whenever possible.
TSN never buys or sells securities for a client's account where the firm, or any of its owners,
has a material interest. This potential conflict of interest has been eliminated.
TSN regularly maintains a list of Recommended Investments used in conjunction with
making client investment recommendations. We feel it is important for our owner to invest
"alongside" our clients, and as such, the owner of the firm invests in many of the same
recommended funds as our clients, which is yet another example of how we align our
interests with that of our clients. If there were a time when a sweeping change across all
- 18 -
clients would need to occur for a particular investment in which we were invested alongside
our clients, a conflict of interest arises that cannot be eliminated.
Because we are committed to being in the same boat as our clients with respect to the
investments we recommend, when such a situation presents itself, the conflict that can't be
eliminated with regards to the sweeping change is... who gets the first opportunity? The
owner or the clients? We see no way to simultaneously eliminate this conflict and invest
alongside our clients. However, if sweeping changes become necessary, our commitment is
- 19 -
that the client will have the benefit of getting the first opportunities. TSN will provide a copy
of the Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon request.
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of
Interest
TSN and its affiliated persons do not recommend to Clients securities in which we have a
material financial interest.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of
Interest
TSN and its affiliated persons may buy or sell securities that are also held by Clients. In order
to mitigate conflicts of interest such as trading ahead of Client transactions, affiliated persons
are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide TSN with
copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of TSN is Timothy Dukeman. He reviews all trades of the
affiliated persons each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal
trading of affiliated persons does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive
preferential treatment over associated persons’ transactions.
Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm
Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest
TSN does not maintain a firm proprietary trading account and does not have a material
financial interest in any securities being recommended and therefore no conflicts of interest
exist. However, affiliated persons may buy or sell securities at the same time they buy or sell
securities for Clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running, affiliated
persons are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide TSN
with copies of their brokerage statements.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
TSN may recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer such as Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian may utilize a
broker-dealer of the Client's choosing. TSN will select appropriate brokers based on a
number of factors including but not limited to their relatively low transaction fees and
reporting ability. TSN relies on its broker to provide its execution services at the best prices
available. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients
pay for any and all custodial fees in addition to the advisory fee charged by TSN.
Schwab is an independent SEC-registered broker-dealer and is not affiliated with TSN.
Schwab offers to independent investment Advisors services which include custody of
securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. TSN receives some
benefits from Schwab . (Please see the disclosure under Item 14)
Any TD Ameritrade account maintained on the Institutional platform that is under
transactional based pricing is subject to the same zero commissions as retail clients.
- 20 -
• Directed Brokerage
Although TD Ameritrade recently reduced their online equity trade commissions to zero, it
only applies to U.S. exchange listed stocks, ETFs and options trades. TD Ameritrade still
charges a per contract fee ($0.65) for options trades and transaction fees for Mutual Funds
• Best Execution
In circumstances where a Client directs TSN to use a certain broker-dealer, TSN still
has a fiduciary duty to its Clients. The following may apply with Directed Brokerage:
TSN's inability to negotiate commissions, to obtain volume discounts, there may be a
disparity in commission charges among Clients and conflicts of interest arising from
brokerage firm referrals.
• Soft Dollar Arrangements
Investment advisors who manage or supervise Client portfolios have a fiduciary
obligation of best execution. The determination of what may constitute best
execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves a
number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage selection
include the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with
which the transaction is effected, the ability to effect the transaction where a large
block is involved, the operational facilities of the broker-dealer, the value of an
ongoing relationship with such broker and the financial strength and stability of the
broker. The firm does not receive any portion of the trading fees.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as
arrangement under which products or services other than execution services are
obtained by TSN from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing Client
transactions to the broker-dealer. As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, TSN receives economic benefits as a result of commissions
generated from securities transactions by the broker-dealer from the accounts of
TSN. These benefits include both proprietary research from the broker and other
research written by third parties.
A conflict of interest exists when TSN receives soft dollars. This conflict is mitigated
by the fact that TSN has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of its
Clients and the services received are beneficial to all Clients.
Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts
TSN utilizes the services of custodial broker dealers. Economic benefits are received
by TSN which would not be received if TSN did not give investment advice to Clients.
These benefits include: A dedicated trading desk, a dedicated service group and an
account services manager dedicated to TSN's accounts, ability to conduct "block"
Client trades, electronic download of trades, balances and positions, duplicate and
batched Client statements, and the ability to have advisory fees directly deducted
from Client accounts.
TSN is authorized in its discretion to aggregate purchases and sales and other transactions
made for the account with purchases and sales and transactions in the same securities for
other Clients of TSN. All Clients participating in the aggregated order shall receive an average
share price with all other transaction costs shared on a pro-rated basis. If aggregation if not
- 21 -
allowed or infeasible and individual transactions occur (e.g., non-discretionary accounts,
withdrawal or liquidation requests, odd-late trades, etc.) an account may potentially be
assessed higher costs or less favorable prices than those where aggregation has occurred.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory
Persons Involved
Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis
Formal account reviews are conducted at least annually and on the same frequency as the
fee for service model described in section 7 under account minimums. A formal account
review includes allocation reviews, rebalancing, performance measurement and investment
manager assessments. Reviews may be constructed and delivered at the investment
associate level, but all recommendations are reviewed by an equity owner in the firm.
Informal, routine account reviews are also done regularly between the formal quarterly
reviews.
Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency
Other conditions that may trigger a review of Clients’ accounts are changes in the tax laws,
new investment information, and changes in a Client's own situation.
Clients receive written account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts.
Account statements are issued by TSN’s custodian. Client receives confirmations of each
transaction in account from Custodian and an additional statement during any month in
which a transaction occurs.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts
of Interest
Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals
As disclosed under Item 12 above, TSN may recommend Schwab to Clients for custody and
brokerage services. TSN receives economic benefits from Schwab that are typically not
available to Schwab retail investors. These benefits include the following products and
services (provided without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate Client statements and
confirmations; research related products and tools; consulting services; access to a trading
desk serving TSN participants; access to block trading (which provides the ability to
aggregate securities transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to
Client accounts); the ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from Client accounts;
access to an electronic communications network for Client order entry and account
information; access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and to certain institutional
money managers; and discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and
practice management products or services provided to TSN by third party vendors.
TSN does not compensate for Client referrals.
- 22 -
Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to Clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are urged
to compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to any
documentation or reports prepared by TSN.
TSN is deemed to have limited custody because advisory fees are directly deducted from
Client’s account by the custodian on behalf of TSN.
TSN is also deemed to have limited custody due to its Third-Party Standing Letters of
Authorization (“SLOA”).
TSN and its qualified custodian meet the following seven (7) conditions in order to avoid
maintaining full custody and be subject to the surprise exam requirement:
1.
The Client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes
the Client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or
the third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be
directed.
2.
The Client authorizes TSN, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or
separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from
time to time.
3.
The Client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction,
such as a signature review or other method to verify the Client’s authorization and
provides a transfer of funds notice to the Client promptly after each transfer.
4.
The Client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the Client’s qualified
custodian.
5.
TSN has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party,
the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the Client’s
instruction.
6.
TSN maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party nor located
at the same address as TSN.
7.
The Client’s qualified custodian sends the Client, in writing, an initial notice confirming
the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
If applicable, Client will authorize TSN discretionary authority, via the advisory agreement,
to determine, without obtaining specific Client consent, the securities to be bought or sold,
and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. If applicable, Client will authorize TSN
discretionary authority to execute selected investment program transactions as stated
within the Investment Advisory Agreement. If however, consent for discretion is not given,
TSN will obtain prior Client approval before executing each transaction.
- 23 -
TSN allows Client’s to place certain restrictions, as outlined in the Client’s Investment Policy
Statement or similar document. Such restrictions could include only allowing purchases of
socially conscious investments. These restrictions must be provided to TSN in writing.
The Client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the custodian.
TSN does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid by the Client
to the custodian.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
TSN does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies. The
Client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a
transfer agent.
TSN will not provide recommendations or assistance to the Client on voting proxies.
Item 18: Financial Information
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is not required to be provided because TSN does not serve as a custodian for
Client funds or securities and TSN does not require prepayment of fees of more than $1200
per Client and six months or more in advance.
Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet
Commitments to Clients
Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years
TSN has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual
commitments to our Clients.
Neither TSN nor its management has had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years.
