Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account,
we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal
Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some
conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not
put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
•
•
•
•
Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice).
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice).
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments.
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; •
Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
•
Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
C. Client Tailored Services
TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC first conducts initial interviews and data gathering to determine the client's
individual needs, goals, time horizons and risk tolerance. The advisers will then prepare analyses of the financial
data and present a summary to the client. TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC will implement and monitor the plan.
Periodic financial check-ups will be conducted to make sure the plan is on track and to see if there are any changes
in the client’s situation. If clients do not want TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC to invest in a certain security or
type of security, we take their request into consideration.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC does not offer wrap fee programs.
E. Client Assets Under Management
TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC manages assets on a discretionary basis.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation A. Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule

services, as follows:
PORTFOLIO VALUE ANNUAL FEE

within five (5) business days after entering into the contract.”
B. Client Payment of Fees

of mutual fund shares by mutual funds, or by the investment advisor managing the portfolios. A complete
explanation of these fees and expenses is provided in each mutual fund prospectus. Clients are encouraged to read
the fund prospectus carefully before investing. Clients may also pay transaction fees to the broker/dealers and

Certain of the Registrant’s Advisory Affiliates, in their individual capacities, are also licensed insurance agents with
various insurance companies, and in such capacity, may recommend, on a fully disclosed commission basis, the
purchase of certain insurance products. While the Registrant does not sell such insurance products to its investment
advisory clients, the Registrant does permit its Advisory Affiliates, in their individual capacities as licensed insurance
agents, to sell insurance products to its investment advisory clients. A conflict of interest exists to the extent that the
Registrant recommends the purchase of insurance products where the Registrant’s Advisory Affiliates receive
insurance commissions or other additional compensation. The Registrant’s Advisory Affiliates currently devote
approximately ten percent (10%) of their time to insurance sales.

estates, charitable organizations, corporations and business entities.
The minimum amount to open an account is $250,000. Minimum can be waived by TreeTop Wealth Management,
LLC.
Item 7 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC measures investors’ goals, risk tolerance and time horizon through an interview
process and questionnaire to determine investment strategies or a financial plan that, according to the Advisor's
judgment, are best suited to fit the client's profile. Advice is individualized and tailored to meet the unique needs of
each client. After TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC evaluates the client's financial needs, the Advisor will design
investment and risk-management strategies to help the client achieve his or her financial goals.
If the Advisor provides specific investment strategies, this information may be based upon several concepts and
determined by the type of investor. Investment strategies may include long-term and short-term purchases
depending upon the individual needs of the client. The concept of asset allocation or spreading investments among
several asset classes (domestic stocks, foreign stocks, bonds, foreign bonds, alternatives) is in the forefront of our
strategies.
Asset allocation seeks to achieve the most efficient diversification of assets, to lessen risk while not sacrificing the
effectiveness of the portfolio to yield the client's objectives. Since TreeTop Wealth Management LLC believes that
risk reduction is a key element to long-term investment success, asset allocation principles are a key part of the
firm's overall approach in preparing advice for clients.
Recommendations for purchases or selling of investments will be based on publicly available reports and analysis.
In the case of mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds, recommendations will be based on reports and analysis of
performance and managers, and certain computerized and other models for asset allocation.
TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC utilizes many sources of public information including financial newspapers and
magazines, research papers, corporate rating services, annual reports, prospectuses and company press releases.
TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC gives advice on mutual funds, exchange traded funds, corporate debt, certificates
of deposit, United States government securities, municipal securities, options contracts and equity securities.
B. Investment Strategy and Method of Analysis and Analysis Material Risks

Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that the client should be prepared to bear.

Item 10 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics Description
TreeTop Wealth Management, LLC adheres to the CFP Board adopted Code of Ethics to establish the highest
principles and standards. The seven principles include:
Principle 1 – Integrity: Provide professional services with integrity.
Integrity demands honesty and candor which must not be subordinated to personal gain or advantage. Certificants
are placed in positions of trust by clients, and the ultimate source of that trust is the certificant’s personal integrity.
Allowance can be made for innocent error and legitimate differences of opinion, but integrity cannot co-exist with
deceit or subordination of one’s principles.
Principle 2 – Objectivity: Provide professional services objectively.
Objectivity requires intellectual honesty and impartiality. Regardless of the service rendered or the capacity in which
a certificant functions, certificants should protect the integrity of their work, maintain objectivity and avoid
subordination of their judgment.
Principle 3 – Competence: Maintain the knowledge and skill necessary to provide professional services competently.
Competence means attaining and maintaining an adequate level of knowledge and skill, and application of that
knowledge and skill in providing services to clients. Competence also includes the wisdom to recognize the
limitations of that knowledge and when consultation with other professionals is appropriate or referral to other
professionals necessary. Certificants make a continuing commitment to learning and professional improvement.
Principle 4 – Fairness: Be fair and reasonable in all professional relationships. Disclose conflicts of interest. Fairness
requires impartiality, intellectual honesty and disclosure of material conflicts of interest. It involves a subordination
of one’s own feelings, prejudices and desires to achieve a proper balance of conflicting interests. Fairness is treating
others in the same fashion that you would want to be treated.
Principle 5 – Confidentiality: Protect the confidentiality of all client information.
Confidentiality means ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to have access. A relationship
of trust and confidence with the client can only be built upon the understanding that the client’s information will
remain confidential.
Principle 6 – Professionalism: Act in a manner that demonstrates exemplary professional conduct.
Professionalism requires behaving with dignity and courtesy to clients, fellow professionals, and others in business
related activities. Certificants cooperate with fellow certificants to enhance and maintain the profession’s public
image and improve the quality of services.
Principle 7 – Diligence: Provide professional services diligently.
Diligence is the provision of services in a reasonably prompt and thorough manner, including the proper planning
for, and supervision of, the rendering of professional services.
B. Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflicts of Interest Patrick
Ryan Nord, David J. Pedley and Kevin M. Yeoman do not recommend any securities in which he or any related
persons have a material financial Interest.
C. Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of Interest
None of the Registrant’s Access Persons may affect for themselves or for their immediate family (i.e., spouse, minor
children, and adults living in the same household as the Access Person) any transactions in a security which is being
actively purchased or sold, or is being considered for purchase or sale, on behalf of any of the Registrant's clients.
D. Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm Securities Transactions and
Conflicts of Interest
When the Registrant is purchasing/ selling or considering for purchase any security on behalf of a client, no Access
Person may affect a transaction in that security prior to the completion of the purchase or until a decision has been
made not to purchase such security.
