transaction. Under this authority, Client shall allow Advisor to purchase and sell securities and

objective is considered generally the most conservative. Emphasis is placed on generation of current
income with minimal risk of capital loss. Lowering the risk generally means lowering the potential
income and overall return.

with a secondary focus on moderate capital growth.
• Growth with Income. This investment objective emphasizes modest capital growth with some focus on
generation of current income.
• Growth. This investment objective emphasizes achieving high long-term growth and capital
appreciation.

appreciation, with no focus on generation of current income. This objective has an extremely high level
of risk and is for investors with a longer timer horizon.

securities. All Client assets will be managed within their designated brokerage account or pension account,
pursuant to the Client investment advisory agreement on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis.

LPL Financial Sponsored Platforms
Strategic Wealth Management (SWM)
Strategic Wealth Management is the name of the custodial account offered through LPL to support investment
advisory services provided by TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC. Within a SWM account, Investment
Advisor Representatives provide advice on the purchase and sale of various types of investments, such as
mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and equities. The advice is tailored to the individual needs of
the Client based on the investment objective chosen by the Client to help assist Clients in attempting to meet
their financial goals. Accounts are reviewed on a regular basis and rebalanced as necessary according to each
Client’s investment profile. More specific account information and acknowledgements are further detailed in
the account opening documents. Investment Advisor Representatives can offer SWM I or SWM II. The
accounts offer the same investment choices and are managed in the same manner, but the fee structure is
different. For SWM I, Clients are charged transaction fees in addition to the advisory fee whereas for SWM II,
the transactions fees are sponsored by TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC.
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC Wrap Fee Program
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC offers SWM II as a wrap fee program where the firm acts as the sponsor
and portfolio manager. A wrap fee program is an advisory account with a single fee that covers a bundle of
Page 6 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
services; such as, portfolio management, advice, and investment research as well as trade execution, custody,
and reporting fee. Please see Appendix 1 –Wrap Fee Program Brochure, which is included as a supplement to
this Disclosure Brochure. The advisory fee for SWM II accounts may be higher than SWM I to account for the
transaction fees. Depending on the anticipated level of trading, Investment Advisor Representatives of
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC will work with each Client to determine the most cost-effective fee
structure.
LPL Sponsored Wrap Fee Programs
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC also offers a wrap fee program where LPL serves as the sponsor and
portfolio manager. While LPL serves as the wrap fee sponsor and portfolio manager, TrueWealth Financial
Partners, LLC manages the allocation of funds between the different portfolios and available fund selections.
Model Wealth Portfolios Program (MWP)
MWP offers Clients a professionally managed mutual fund asset allocation program. TrueWealth
Financial Partners, LLC will obtain the necessary financial data from the Client, assist the Client in
determining the suitability of the MWP program and assist the Client in setting an appropriate
investment objective. TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC will initiate the steps necessary to open an
MWP account and have discretion to select a model portfolio designed by LPL’s Research Department
consistent with the Client’s stated investment objective. LPL’s Research Department, a third-party
portfolio strategist and/or Advisor, through its Investment Advisor Representative, may act as a portfolio
strategist responsible for selecting the mutual funds or ETFs within a model portfolio and for making
changes to the mutual funds or ETFs selected.
The Client will authorize LPL to act on a discretionary basis to purchase and sell mutual funds and ETFs
and to liquidate previously purchased securities. The Client will also authorize LPL to effect
rebalancing for MWP accounts. MWP requires a minimum asset value for a program account to be
managed. The minimums vary depending on the portfolio(s) selected and the account’s allocation
amongst portfolios.
Manager Access Select Program
Manager Access Select provides clients access to the investment advisory services of professional
portfolio management firms for the individual management of client accounts. Advisor will assist client
in identifying a third-party portfolio manager (Portfolio Manager) from a list of Portfolio Managers
made available by LPL. The Portfolio Manager manages client’s assets on a discretionary basis.
Advisor will provide initial and ongoing assistance regarding the Portfolio Manager selection process.
LPL serves as program sponsor, investment advisor and broker-dealer for the LPL advisory programs.
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC and LPL may share in the account fee and other fees associated
with program accounts. TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC is responsible to:
Page 7 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
• obtain the necessary financial data from each client;
• select the proper advisory program;
• determine the investment allocation; and,
• provide tailored investment advice based on a client’s investment objectives.
Accounts are reviewed on a regular basis and rebalanced as necessary according to each client’s
investment profile. Depending on the anticipated level of trading, positions held and account size,
investment advisor representatives of TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC will work with each client to
determine the most cost-effective fee structure.
Retirement Plan Rollovers
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field
Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where applicable, we are providing the
following acknowledgment to you.
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.
Client Account Management

required to enter into an investment advisory agreement that defines the terms, conditions, authority, and
responsibilities.

Financial Planning Services
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC, through its Investment Advisor Representatives, generally provides
financial planning as part of a comprehensive asset management engagement. However, financial planning is
available separately for a separate fee. The type of planning can vary greatly depending on the scope and
complexity of an individual’s financial situation. Examples of the type of planning available include but are
not limited to the following:
• Retirement – Planning an investment strategy to provide inflation-adjusted income for life.
• College / Education – Planning to pay the future college/education expenses of a child or
grandchild.
• Insurance Needs – Planning for the financial needs of survivors to satisfy such financial obligations
as housing, dependent child-care and spousal arrangements as well as education.
• Estate Planning – Planning that focuses on the most efficient and tax-friendly option to pass on an
estate to a spouse, other family members or a charity.
• Investment Planning – Planning an investment strategy consistent with objectives, time horizons
and risk tolerances.
Prior to engaging the firm to provide stand-alone planning or consulting services, Clients are required to enter
into an Agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement (including termination), describing
the scope of the services to be provided, and the portion of the fee that is due from the Client prior to the firm
commencing services.
Hourly Consulting Services
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC, through its Investment Adviser Representatives, can provide hourly
consulting services instead of a comprehensive financial planning when a narrower scope of services is
appropriate. Hourly consulting considers information collected from the client such as financial status,
Page 9 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
investment objectives and tax status, among other data. The Investment Adviser Representatives may or may
not deliver a written analysis or report as part of the services. The engagement terminates upon final
consultation with the client.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Investment Management
Fees are paid quarterly in advance and will generally not exceed 2.00% of assets under management unless the
scope, complexity, amount of time or expertise required warrant a higher fee. The account custodian
calculates the advisory fee based on the prior quarter end value, multiplied by the advisory fee divided by 360
and then multiplied by 90. The fee is deducted based on a separate written authorization between the custodian
and the Client.
• Clients will receive quarterly statements from the Custodian that provides details of the advisory fees.
• The investment advisory fee in the first period of service is pro-rated from the inception date of the
account[s] to the end of the first quarter.
•
If the advisory agreement is terminated before the end of the quarterly period, Client is entitled to a pro-
rated refund of any pre-paid quarterly advisory fee based on the number of days remaining in the quarter
after the termination date.
• Asset management fees are exclusive of and in addition to, brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other
related costs and expenses.
• The firm will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities.
Financial Planning
The fee for financial planning can be based on an hourly or a fixed rate depending on the nature of the planning.
Fixed fees are generally paid 100% in advance. Hourly fees are generally charged as they are incurred.
• Hourly Fee: $150 to $350
• Fixed Fee: $1,000 to $4,000
The applicable fee is determined by the scope and complexity of a particular Client’s financial situation as well
as the amount of time and expertise required. In some cases, a fee greater or lesser then the typical fee range
may be warranted.
Mutual Fund Share Class Disclosures
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC strives to select the lowest cost share class available; however, certain mutual
Page 10 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
fund share classes charge a 12b-1 fee that generally amounts to an additional .25% expense ratio or more. The
purpose of 12b-1 fees, as approved by the SEC, are to cover marketing expenses and shareholder services such
as support services and “other expenses” such as legal, accounting and the administrative functions of the
custodian. When selecting a mutual fund, Investment Advisor Representatives have a fiduciary duty to choose
the share class that helps manage the overall fee structure of the account. The entire fee structure includes such
fees as the asset management fee, the expense ratio and ticket charges.
• Mutual funds typically offer multiple share classes, including lower-cost share classes that do not
•
charge 12b-1 fees and are therefore usually less expensive.
Investment Advisor Representatives will consider investing Client funds in 12b-1 fee-paying share
classes even when a lower-cost share class is available as appropriate to account for the overall fee
structure and tax considerations as well as attributes of a fund not available for lesser fees.
Compensation for Sales of Securities
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC does not receive commission compensation for advisory services.
Cash Holdings
Cash balances invested in LPL’s multi-bank insured cash account (ICA) program are invested in Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured deposit accounts at one or more bank or other participating depository
institutions. However, clients receive the same interest rate across all ICA deposit accounts taken in the aggregate
based on a percentage of the average daily deposit balance. LPL receives a fee from the institutions participating
in the ICA program based on the value of advisory assets held in the ICA program. This fee could be higher than
the interest rate received by clients and/or could reduce the rate a client could receive elsewhere.
Other Fees and Expenses
Clients will incur transaction charges for trades executed in a non-Wrap Fee account. These transaction fees are
separate from our fees. Also, Clients will pay the following separately incurred expenses, which we do not
receive any part of: charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund which shall
be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e., fund management fees and other fund expenses). If a Client’s assets
are invested in mutual funds or other pooled investment products, Clients should be aware that there will be two
layers of advisory fees and expenses for those assets. Client will pay an advisory fee to the fund manager and
other expenses as a shareholder of the fund. Client will also pay Advisor the advisory fee with respect to those
assets. Most of the mutual funds available in the program may be purchased directly. Therefore, Clients could
generally avoid the second layer of fees by not using the management services of TrueWealth Financial Partners,
LLC and by making their own investment decisions. Further information regarding fees assessed by a mutual
fund is available in the appropriate prospectus.
Page 11 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
Termination
This Agreement may be terminated, at any time, by either party, by written notice to the other party and billing
will be stopped as soon as reasonable efforts allow. In addition, the Client may terminate within five (5) business
days of signing this Agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for
bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the
Client. If fees are billed in advance, any un-earned, prepaid fees will be promptly refunded by the Advisor.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC does not accept performance-based fees, fees based on a share of capital
gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a Client (such as a Client that is a hedge fund or other pooled
investment vehicle).
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC also does not participate in side-by-side management, where an advisor
manages accounts that are both charged a performance-based fee and accounts that are charged another type of
fee, such as an hourly or flat fee or an asset-based fee.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
The advisory services offered by TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC are available for individuals and high net
worth clients.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC emphasizes continuous and regular account supervision. As part of our
asset management service, we generally create a portfolio, consisting of individual stocks or bonds, exchange
traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds and other public and private securities or investments. The
Client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may include some or all of the
previously mentioned securities. Each portfolio will be initially designed to meet a particular investment goal,
which we determine to be suitable for the Client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been
determined, it is subject to review and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the Client’s individual needs, stated
goals and objectives. Each Client can place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the
portfolio.
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC uses multiple forms of research to analyze financial data and market
conditions such as the general financial health of a company, and/or the analysis of management or competitive
advantages, past market data (primarily price and volume), business cycles as well as patterns and trends. The
firm also conducts the following types of analysis to make investment decisions.
Page 12 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
• Behavioral Analysis - Behavioral analysis involves an examination of conventional economics as
well as behavioral and cognitive psychological factors. Behavioral analysis seeks to combine a
qualitative and quantitative approach to provide explanations for why individuals may, at times,
make irrational financial decisions. Where conventional financial theories have failed to explain
certain patterns, the behavioral finance methodology investigates the underlying reasons and biases
that cause some people to behave against their best interests. The risks relating to behavior analysis
are that it relies on spotting trends in human behavior that may not predict future trends.
• Charting Analysis - Charting analysis utilizes various market indicators as investment selection
criteria. These criteria are generally pricing trends that may indicate movement in the markets.
Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment
with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the firm in evaluating a
potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting
the investment criteria utilized in the technical and charting analysis may lose value and may have
negative investment performance. The firm monitors these market indicators to determine if
adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
• Cyclical Analysis - Cyclical analysis is like technical analysis in that it involves the analysis of
market conditions at a macro (entire market/economy) or micro (company specific) level, rather than
the overall fundamental analysis of the health of the company. The risks with cyclical analysis are
like those of technical analysis.
• Fundamental Analysis - Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as
investment selection criteria. These criteria consist generally of ratios and trends that may indicate
the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable
if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with a value discounted by
the market. While this type of analysis helps the firm in evaluating a potential investment, it does
not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria
utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance.
The firm monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are
appropriate.
• Technical Analysis - Technical analysis is a trading discipline employed to evaluate investments
and identify trading opportunities by analyzing statistical trends gathered from trading activity, such
as price movement and volume. The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting
historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually
reoccur, there is no guarantee that the firm will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
Page 13 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities can fluctuate in value or lose value up to the
entire principal amount invested. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. TrueWealth
Financial Partners, LLC will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for
risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment
goals. While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee
that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of
analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. Investment Advisor Representatives
monitor economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the
provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial
condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis. The risks associated with a particular strategy are
provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to
determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process.
The firms’ methods of analysis and investment strategies do not represent any significant or unusual risks
however all strategies have inherent risks and performance limitations. However, Clients should be aware of
the following types of risks that apply to investing and are encouraged to discuss the specific risks applicable to
their account holdings:
• Business Risk – the measure of risk associated with a particular security. It is also known as
unsystematic risk and refers to the risk associated with a specific issuer of a security. Generally
speaking, all businesses in the same industry have similar types of business risk. More specifically,
business risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a particular company stock or a bond may go
bankrupt or be unable to pay the interest or principal in the case of bonds.
• Call Risk – the risk specific to bond issues and refers to the possibility that a debt security will be
called prior to maturity. Call risk usually goes hand in hand with reinvestment risk because the
bondholder must find an investment that provides the same level of income for equal risk. Call risk is
most prevalent when interest rates are falling, as companies trying to save money will usually redeem
bond issues with higher coupons and replace them on the bond market with issues with lower interest
rates.
Page 14 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
• Credit Risk – the risk that an investor could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income
security is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations.
• Currency/Exchange Rate Risk – the risk of a change in the price of one currency against another.
• ETF Risks (Net Asset Valuations and Tracking Error) - ETF performance may not exactly match
the performance of the index or market benchmark that the ETF is designed to track because:
1. the ETF will incur expenses and transaction costs not incurred by any applicable index or
market benchmark;
2. certain securities comprising the index or market benchmark tracked by the ETF may,
from time to time, temporarily be unavailable; and,
3. supply and demand in the market for either the ETF and/or for the securities held by the
ETF may cause the ETF shares to trade at a premium or discount to the actual net asset
value of the securities owned by the ETF.
Certain ETF strategies may from time to time include the purchase of fixed income, commodities,
foreign securities, American Depositary Receipts, or other securities for which expenses and
commission rates could be higher than normally charged for exchange-traded equity securities, and
for which market quotations or valuation may be limited or inaccurate.
•
Inflationary Risk – the risk that future inflation will cause the purchasing power of cash flow from an
investment to decline.
•
Interest Rate Risk – the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase
in interest rates; a bond or a fixed income fund with a longer duration will be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than a bond or bond fund with a shorter duration.
• Legislative Risk – the risk of a legislative ruling resulting in adverse consequences.
• Liquidity Risk – the possibility that an investor may not be able to buy or sell an investment as and
when desired or in sufficient quantities because opportunities are limited.
• Margin Risk – the risk of losing more money than initially invested due to the amplified effect of
losses when investing with borrowed money.
• Market Risk – the risk that the value of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or
unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.
Page 15 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
• Pandemic Risk – Large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease that can greatly increase morbidity and
mortality over a wide geographic area, crossing international boundaries, and causing significant
economic, social, and political disruption.
• Reinvestment Risk – the risk that falling interest rates will lead to a decline in cash flow from an
investment when its principal and interest payments are reinvested at lower rates.
•
Social/Political – the possibility of nationalization, unfavorable government action or social changes
resulting in a loss of value.
• Taxability Risk – the risk that a security that was issued with tax-exempt status could potentially lose
that status prior to maturity. Since municipal bonds carry a lower interest rate than fully taxable bonds,
the bond holders would end up with a lower after-tax yield than originally planned.
• Transparency Risk – the risk of not having ready access to required financial information about a
company, such as price levels, market depth, and audited financial reports.
All investments involve varying degrees of risk, and it should not be assumed that future performance of any
specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s). Investing
in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to
bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Types of Investments
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC generally manages Client portfolios that consist of mutual funds, Exchange
Traded Equities (ETFs) and limited individual securities.
• Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) – An ETF is a portfolio of securities invested to track a market index
similar to an index mutual fund, but the shares are traded on an exchange like an equity. An ETF share
price fluctuates intraday depending on market conditions instead of having a net asset value (NAV) that
is calculated once at the end of the day. The shares may trade at a premium or discount; and as a result,
investors pay more or less when purchasing shares and receive more or less than when selling shares.
The supply of ETF shares is regulated through a mechanism known as creation and redemption that
involves large, specialized investors, known as authorized participants (APs). Authorized participants
are large financial institutions with a high degree of buying power, such as market makers, banks or
investment companies that provide market liquidity. When there is a shortage of shares in the market,
the authorized participant creates more (creation). Conversely, the authorized participant will reduce
shares in circulation (redemption) when supply falls short of demand. Multiple authorized participants
help improve the liquidity of a particular ETF and stabilize the share price. To the extent that authorized
participants cannot or are otherwise unwilling to engage in creation and redemption transactions, shares
Page 16 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
of an ETF tend to trade at a significant discount or premium and may face trading halts and delisting
from the exchange. The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the complete loss of
principal. ETFs also have a trading risk based on cost inefficiency if the ETFs are actively traded and a
liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large price spread and low trading volume. In addition, investors buying
or selling shares in the secondary market pay brokerage commissions, which may be a significant
proportional cost not incurred by mutual funds.
• Mutual Funds – a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities
such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and similar assets.
o Open-End Mutual Funds – a type of mutual fund that does not have restrictions on the amount of
shares the fund will issue and will buy back shares when investors wish to sell. Investing in mutual
funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus Clients may lose money investing in mutual funds.
All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of bond “fixed
income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature.
o Closed-End Mutual Funds – a type of mutual fund that raises a fixed amount of capital through
an initial public offering (IPO). The fund is then structured, listed, and traded like a stock on a
stock exchange. Clients should be aware that closed-end funds available within the program are
not readily marketable. In an effort to provide invest or liquidity, the funds may offer to repurchase
a certain percentage of shares at net asset value on a periodic basis. Thus, Clients may be unable to
liquidate all or a portion of their shares in these types of funds.
o Alternative Strategy Mutual Funds – Certain mutual funds available in the program invest
primarily in alternative investments and/or strategies. Investing in alternative investments and/or
strategies may not be suitable for all investors and involves special risks, such as risks associated
with commodities, real estate, leverage, selling securities short, the use of derivatives, potential
adverse market forces, regulatory changes, and potential illiquidity. There are special risks
associated with mutual funds that invest principally in real estate securities, such as sensitivity to
changes in real estate values and interest rates and price volatility because of the fund’s
concentration in the real estate industry.
• Equity – An investment that generally refers to buying shares of stocks in return for receiving a future
payment of dividends and/or capital gains if the value of the stock increases. The value of equity securities
may fluctuate in response to specific situations for each company, industry conditions and the general
economic environment.
• Municipal Bonds - debt securities issued by states, cities, counties and other governmental entities to fund
day-to-day obligations and to finance capital projects such as building schools, highways or sewer systems.

Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines our fiduciary
commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with the firm (our “Supervised
Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our
duties to you, our Client. The firm and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith
towards each Client. It is the obligation of the firm’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific
provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of
topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of our Code, please contact us at
(425) 615-7360 or by email at Patrick.severson@truewealthfp.com.
Personal Trading with Material Interest
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the firm does not
act as the general partner of a fund or advise an investment company. TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC does
not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that
may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities, we recommend
(purchase or sell) to you presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate
through policies and procedures. As noted above, we have adopted a Code of Ethics to address insider trading
(material non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal
securities reporting.
Page 18 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
Supervised Persons may not purchase or sell any security immediately prior to or immediately after a
transaction being implemented for an advisory account, thereby preventing an employee from benefiting from
transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC will recommend that Clients establish a brokerage account with LPL
Financial to maintain custody of assets and to effect trades. LPL Financial provides brokerage and custodial
services to independent investment advisory firms, including TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC. LPL
Financial is compensated by Clients through commissions, trails, or other transaction-based fees for trades that
are executed through LPL Financial or that settle into LPL accounts. For IRA accounts, LPL Financial
generally charges an account maintenance fee. In addition, LPL Financial also charges Clients miscellaneous
fees, such as account transfer fees. LPL Financial charges TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC an asset-based
administration fee for administrative services. Such administration fees are not directly borne by Clients but are
considered when TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC negotiates its advisory fee with Clients. Clients should
also be aware that for accounts where LPL Financial serves as the custodian, the firm is limited to offering
services and investment that are approved by LPL Financial.
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker/dealers whereby an advisor enters
into an agreement to place security trades with the broker in exchange for research and other services.
LPL Financial makes available various products and services designed to assist the firm in managing
and administering Client accounts. These services include software and other technology that provide
access to Client account data (such as trade confirmation and account statements); facilitation of trade
execution (and research reports or other information about particular companies or industries; economic
surveys, data and analyses; financial publications; portfolio evaluation services; financial database
software and services; computerized news and pricing services; quotation equipment for use in running
software used in investment decision-making. These support services are provided based on the overall
relationship without a minimum production level or value of assets held with the custodian.
Consequently, it is not the result of soft dollar arrangements or any other express arrangements that
involve the execution of Client transactions as a condition to receive the services.
2. Brokerage Referrals - TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC does not receive any compensation from
any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing a brokerage account.
3. Transaction Fees -The Custodian charges brokerage commissions and transaction fees for effecting
certain securities transactions (i.e., transaction fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds,
commissions are charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions). The Custodian enables
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC to obtain many no-load mutual funds without transaction charges
Page 19 of 31
ADV 2A – Firm Disclosure Brochure
and other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges. The Custodian’s commission rates are generally
discounted from customary retail commission rates. However, the commission and transaction fees
charged by the Custodians may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians and
broker/dealers.
4. Best Execution - In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible 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, and responsiveness. Accordingly, although we will seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all
Clients, we may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for specific Client account
transactions.
5. Aggregating and Allocating Trades - The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale
of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such
factors as price, size of order and difficulty of execution. TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC does not
aggregate purchases and sales for various Client accounts, but orders can be aggregated by the
custodian.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
For those Clients to whom TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC provides investment advisory services, account
reviews are conducted on an ongoing basis by the Investment Advisor Representative. All Clients (in person or
via telephone) are encouraged to review financial planning issues (to the extent applicable), investment
objectives and account performance with their Investment Advisor Representative. In addition, each Client
relationship shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at the
Client’s request. Accounts may also be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known
changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account. The
Client is encouraged to notify TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC if changes occur in the Client’s personal
financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered
by material market, economic or political events.
Clients will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements
are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client can also establish electronic access to the
Custodian’s website so they can view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will
include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s].

Item 4 – Services, Fees and Compensation
TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC provides investment advisory services where the asset management fee
and ticket charges are "wrapped" into a single payment. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided as a
supplement to the firm’s Disclosure Brochure (Form ADV 2A) to provide further details of the business
practices and fee structure. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure references back to the firm’s Form ADV 2A in
which this Wrap Fee Program Brochure serves as an Appendix. Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the
Form ADV 2A for details on the firm’s investment philosophy and related services.
• TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program and
receives investment advisory fees paid by Clients and pays the Custodian for the costs associated with
the regular trading activity.
•
Investment advisory fees will be calculated and deducted from the Client’s account by direct agreement
between the Client and LPL Financial. Client will receive independent statements from the Custodian.
The amount due is calculated based on the following formula: (Quarter End Value x Advisory Fee) / 360)
x 90 = Advance Billing.
Participation in this wrap fee program may cost more or less than purchasing such services separately. For
example, a Client account with a high volume of trading is likely to benefit from the fee structure of a wrap fee
program whereas a Client with a low volume of trading is likely to benefit more from a fee structure that charges
a transaction fee per trade with a lower asset management fee or a brokerage account that does not charge an asset
management fee for active management.
Other Fees and Expenses
Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds have separate operating costs that are described in each fund's
prospectus. These fees and costs will generally be used to pay management fees, account administration (e.g.,
custody, brokerage, and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC
does not receive any of the fees charged by a mutual fund or ETF. A Client could invest in these products
directly, without the services of TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC , but would not receive the advisory
services to assist in determining which products or features are most appropriate for their financial situation and
objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by the
firm to fully understand the total costs. Only advisory fees are retained by TrueWealth Financial Partners, LLC.
Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients

reuirements.

statements and performance reports prepared by LPL Financial.
