Advisory Business - Item 4
Turner Capital Investments, LLC (“TCI" or “the firm”) is a registered investment adviser based in Austin, Texas. The
firm has been providing investment advisory services since 2007. Michael Turner is the owner and managing
member of TCI having experience in trading, investing, and risk management in the securities industry since 1997.
How We Advise Clients in their Selection of which strategy to have their investment capital follow:
Advisory services offered to TCI clients is predicated on specific strategies. Clients can select from the current list
of strategies that best fit the client’s investment objectives. We review the client’s financial situation, goals,
investment acumen and financial condition to assist the client in his/her selection of which of our strategies best
fit the client’s financial goals and objectives. This includes taking into account various aspects of the client's
personal circumstances, particularly the client's investment goals, time horizon, age and risk tolerance based on
information and investment criteria provided to TCI by the client. The client risk profile that TCI has on file must
support the level of downside risk associated with the TCI strategy that the client desires to follow. Our strategies
are not diversified and we quantify the downside potential for risk and discuss that with the client to confirm the
level of downside risk is within the tolerance the client can absorb.
Each client will receive individualized investment treatment, as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Each client account can follow one of the TCI strategies.
Each client account is managed according to the TCI strategy that the client has chosen to follow. The
client can elect to move out of a strategy and into cash at any time, but it is important to understand
that even when a client’s account is in cash, there is no change in TCI’s management fee collection
process.
TCI obtains sufficient client information to be able to provide individualized investment advice to the
client, but generally, this is limited to the client’s investment objectives and the TCI strategies that the
client desires to follow;
TCI is reasonably available to consult with the client;
Each client is able to impose reasonable investment restrictions on the management of their account(s);
Each client has on-line access to a monthly statement from the custodian of his or her account(s), with a
description of all account activity; and
Each client retains ownership of the securities and funds in the client’s account(s), e.g. the ability to
withdraw securities, vote securities, among others.
TCI client strategies are generally non-diversified since the strategy that the client has selected to follow is
generally non-diversified. TCI takes a focused approach to asset allocation and we focus exclusively on stocks and
ETFs, depending on the TCI strategy that the client desires to follow. We do not attempt to keep client accounts
balanced within asset classes, bonds or mutual funds. Investors who seek a more diversified approach to investing
in the stock market should not consider TCI for money management services.
TCI serves as a sub-advisor to other RIAs. The services include providing buy/sell signals for the RIAs assets under
management following one or more of TCI’s strategies. TCI conducts due diligence.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not sponsor, manage, or participate in any wrap fee programs.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, TCI had discretionary assets under management of approximately $107,167,153, and
non-discretionary assets under management of approximately $0.

Fees and Compensation - Item 5
Strategy Management Fees
For strategy management services, TCI charges a non-negotiable annual fee based on a percentage of assets
under management.
TCI charges the following annualized strategy management fees for household assets under management
(AUM):
TCI Strategies
•
•
•
2.0% for household AUM (under $2.5 million).
1.5% for household AUM ($2.5 million-up to $5 million)
1.0% for household AUM ($5million and above).
The fees and expenses in connection with these advisory services may be higher or lower than the cost of
similar services offered through other financial firms, or the fees associated with other financial services.
1/12th of the “annual management fee” is processed at the beginning of each calendar month for the upcoming
month from each client account. TCI does not prorate management fees for partial months when accounts are
opened. Likewise, TCI does not prorate management fees for the exit month in which the client discontinues to
use TCI for account management.
Sub-Advisory Services and Fees
TCI receives fees as a sub-advisor of assets under advisement from RIAs. The fees are either paid directly to TCI
by the sub-advisor, or TCI collects fees directly from the RIAs linked client accounts via Schwab Alliance as per
the sub-advisory agreement.
Promoter Services and Fees
TCI engages promoters. Promoter fees are paid by TCI to the promoter per the promoter agreement.
Additional Fees and Expenses
TCI management fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other
related costs and expenses. Clients are responsible for brokerage costs incurred. However, TCI will not receive
any portion of the commissions, fees, and costs. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for further information
on brokerage arrangements.
Billing on Cash Positions: The firm treats cash and cash equivalents as an asset class. Accordingly, unless
otherwise agreed in writing, all cash and cash equivalent positions (e.g., money market funds, etc.) are included
as part of assets under management for purposes of calculating the firm’s advisory fee. At any specific point in
time, depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no guarantee that such
anticipated market conditions/events will occur), the firm may maintain cash and/or cash equivalent positions for
defensive, liquidity, or other purposes. While assets are maintained in cash or cash equivalents, such amounts
could miss market advances and, depending upon current yields, at any point in time, the firm’s advisory fee could
exceed the interest paid by the client’s cash or cash equivalent positions.
Periods of Strategy Inactivity: The firm has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best
interest. As part of its investment advisory services, the firm will review client account strategies on an ongoing
basis to determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including but not limited to
investment performance, fund manager tenure, style drift, account additions/withdrawals, the client’s financial
Turner Capital Investments, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Page 6
circumstances, and changes in the client’s investment objectives. Based upon these and other factors, there may
be extended periods of time when the firm determines that changes to a client’s account strategy are neither
necessary nor prudent. Notwithstanding, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the firm’s annual investment
advisory fee will continue to apply during these periods, and there can be no assurance that investment decisions
made by the firm will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).
All fees paid to TCI for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged
to shareholders by exchange traded funds. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus.
These fees generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund
also imposes sales charges, you may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in such funds
directly, without the services of TCI. In which case, the client would not receive the services provided by TCI, which
are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which fund or funds are most appropriate to
their financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, clients should review the fees charged by the funds and the
fees charged by TCI to fully understand the total amount of fees charged and to evaluate the cost of advisory
services being provided.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management - Item 6
TCI does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation
of the assets of a client). TCI is compensated from the fees based on assets under management.
Types of Clients – Item 7
TCI intends to provide advice and services to affluent individuals, and corporations and other business entities. A
minimum of $250,000 of assets under management is generally required to open a relationship with TCI. The
minimum investment amount may be negotiable under certain circumstances, including the total relationship
with TCI and the size of the account(s).
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss - Item 8
TCI's investment strategies are very actively managed and market directional. TCI may change investment strategy
based on market trends. TCI uses the following approach to trading and managing client portfolios:
•
Trading decisions and investments (including, but may not be limited to, equities, exchange traded funds,
cash, and cash equivalents) held in client accounts are at the complete discretion of the strategy manager
but, in general, follow the profile and objectives of the TCI strategy that the client has selected to follow.
Turner Capital Strategy Overviews
Below is a list of strategies that TCI manages on behalf of individual clients. Each strategy is distinctly unique. All
clients, except for special situations more typically found in high-net-worth client accounts, follow one or more
of these strategies.

Clients should keep in mind that depending on when the client’s account was funded and TCI began investing the
capital, the client’s account(s) results may vary from other TCI clients who are in the same mode solely due to the
basis in holdings that are time-sensitive to the time opening trades were made.
A client should not place his/her funds into a TCI managed account unless the client understands the extent of
the strategy selected by the client to follow and its associated potential exposure to risk. Trading in the stock
market is not suitable for all investors. Clients should carefully consider whether trading in the stock market is
appropriate in light of the client’s experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.
Generally, the strategy used by TCI are not appropriate for someone of limited resources and limited investment
or trading experience and low risk tolerance.

Risk of Loss
There are always risks to investing. Clients should be aware that all investments carry various types of risk,
including the potential loss of principal that clients should be prepared to bear. It is impossible to name all possible
types of risks. Among the risks are the following:
Political Risks. Most investments have a global component, even domestic stocks. Political events anywhere in
the world may have unforeseen consequences to markets around the world.
General Market Risks. Markets can, as a whole, go up or down on various news releases or for no understandable
reason at all. This sometimes means that the price of specific securities could go up or down without real reason
and may take some time to recover any lost value. Adding additional securities does not help to minimize this
risk since all securities may be affected by market fluctuations.
Strategy Risk. When investments are made through a strategy, rather than individualized investment
considerations, there is always the possibility that individualized investment choices would have produced a more
positive result for a client than an approach where investments are made for a group of individuals with common
characteristics.
Tax Risks Related to Short Term Trading. Clients should note that TCI may engage in short-term trading
transactions. These transactions may result in short term gains or losses for federal and state tax purposes, which
may be taxed at a higher rate than long term strategy. TCI does not make trading decisions based on tax
consequences. All clients are advised to consult with their tax professionals regarding the transactions that TCI
executes in client accounts.
Purchasing Power Risk. Purchasing power risk is the risk that the client investment’s value will decline as the price
of goods rises (inflation). The investment’s value itself does not decline, but its relative value does, which is the
same thing. Inflation can happen for a variety of complex reasons, including a growing economy and a rising
money supply.
Information Risk. All investment professionals rely on research in order to make conclusions about investment
options. This research is always a mix of both internal (proprietary) and external (provided by third parties) data
and analyses. Even an adviser who says they rely solely on proprietary research must still collect data from third
parties. This data, or outside research is chosen for its perceived reliability, but there is no guarantee that the
data or research will be completely accurate. Failure in data accuracy or research will translate to a compromised
ability by the adviser to reach satisfactory investment conclusions.
Risks Related to Investment Term & Liquidity. Securities do not follow a straight line up in value. All securities
will have periods of time when the current price of the security is not an accurate measure of its value. If a client
requires us to liquidate their portfolio during one of these periods, the client will not realize as much value as the
client would have had the investment had the opportunity to regain its value. Further, some investments are
made with the intention of the investment appreciating over an extended period of time. Liquidating these
investments prior to their intended time horizon may result in losses.
Algorithms and Strategies. When the TCI investment manager utilizes Turner Enterprises, Inc.’s proprietary
mathematical algorithms that identify trigger points for the purpose of indicating a “buy” or “sell” signal, these
trigger points are limited in that they are based on solely the data input into the algorithm. There is an unlimited
amount of data that can be considered in making any given decision as to whether to buy or sell any given security.
An algorithm, by design, ignores some data in favor of others. There is a risk that the data selected for the
algorithm will not create a positive result, whereas other data, had it been considered, may do so.
Concentrated Position Risk: At times, an account may hold a relatively small number of securities positions, each
representing a relatively large portion of assets in the account. As a result, the account will be subject to greater
Turner Capital Investments, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Page 9
volatility than a more sector diversified strategy. Investments in issuers within an industry or economic sector
that experiences adverse economic, business, political conditions or other concerns will impact the value of such
a portfolio more than if the portfolio’s investments were not so concentrated. A change in the value of a single
investment within the strategy will affect the overall value of the strategy and will cause greater losses than it
would in a strategy that holds more diversified investments.
Exchange Traded Funds: The shares of an ETF commonly represent an interest in a group of securities that track
an underlying benchmark or index. A leveraged ETF generally seeks to deliver multiples of the daily performance
of the index or benchmark that it tracks. An inverse ETF generally seeks to deliver the opposite of the daily
performance of the index or benchmark that it tracks. Inverse ETFs often are marketed as a way for investors to
profit from, or at least hedge their exposure to, downward-moving markets. Some ETFs are both inverse and
leveraged, meaning that they seek a return that is a multiple of the inverse performance of the underlying index.
To accomplish their objectives, leveraged and inverse ETFs use a range of investment strategies, including swaps,
futures contracts and other derivative instruments. Most leveraged and inverse ETFs reset each day, which means
they are designed to achieve their stated objective on a daily basis. With the effects of compounding, over longer
timeframes the results can differ significantly from their objective. Because inverse ETFs reset each day, leveraged
and inverse ETFs typically are sometimes considered inappropriate as an intermediate or long-term investment
by traditional investment models and/or firms. They may be appropriate, however, if recommended as part of a
sophisticated trading or hedging strategy that will be closely monitored by a financial professional.
Environment, Social, and Governance Investment Criteria Risk: If a portfolio is subject to certain environmental,
social and governance (ESG) investment criteria it may avoid purchasing certain securities for ESG reasons when
it is otherwise economically advantageous to purchase those securities or may sell certain securities for ESG
reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to hold those securities. In general, the application of
the portfolio’s ESG investment criteria may affect the portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors
and geographic areas, which may affect the financial performance of the portfolio, positively or negatively,
depending on whether these issuers, industries, sectors or geographic areas are in or out of favor. An adviser can
vary materially from other advisers with respect to its methodology for constructing ESG portfolios or screens,
including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and evaluates as part of its process. As a result, an
adviser’s ESG portfolio or screen may materially differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by other ESG
advisers concerning the same issuers. Further, ESG criteria are dependent on data and are subject to the risk that
such data reported by issuers or received from third-party sources may be subjective, or it may be objective in
principle but not verified or reliable.
Cybersecurity Risks: Our firm and our service providers are subject to risks associated with a breach in
cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a generic term used to describe the technology, processes, and practices designed
to protect networks, systems, computers, programs, and data from cyber-attacks and hacking by other computer
users, and to avoid the resulting damage and disruption of hardware and software systems, loss or corruption of
data, and/or misappropriation of confidential information. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate; however,
unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks may cause losses to clients by interfering with the
processing of transactions, affecting the ability to calculate net asset value or impeding or sabotaging trading.
Clients may also incur substantial costs as the result of a cybersecurity breach, including those associated with
forensic analysis of the origin and scope of the breach, increased and upgraded cybersecurity, identity theft,
unauthorized use of proprietary information, litigation, and the dissemination of confidential and proprietary
information. Any such breach could expose our firm to civil liability as well as regulatory inquiry and/or action. In
addition, clients could be exposed to additional losses as a result of unauthorized use of their personal
information. While our firm has established a business continuity plan and systems designed to prevent cyber-
attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have
not been identified. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities, investment
companies and other investment advisers in which we invest, which could result in material adverse
consequences for such entities and may cause a client's investment in such entities to lose value.

Risks Associated with Investing in Inverse and Leveraged Funds: Leveraged mutual funds and ETFs generally seek
to deliver multiples of the daily performance of the index or benchmark that they track. Inverse mutual funds and
ETFs generally seek to deliver the opposite of the daily performance of the index or benchmark that they track.
Inverse funds often are marketed as a way for investors to profit from, or at least hedge their exposure to,
downward-moving markets. Some Inverse funds are both inverse and leveraged, meaning that they seek a return
that is a multiple of the inverse performance of the underlying index. To accomplish their objectives, leveraged
and inverse funds use a range of investment strategies, including swaps, futures contracts, and other derivative
instruments. Leveraged, inverse, and leveraged inverse funds are more volatile and riskier than traditional funds
due to their exposure to leverage and derivatives, particularly total return swaps and futures. At times, we will
recommend leveraged and/or inversed funds, which may amplify gains and losses.
Most leveraged funds are typically designed to achieve their desired exposure on a daily (in a few cases, monthly)
basis, and reset their leverage daily. A "single day" is measured from the time the leveraged fund calculates its
net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the leveraged fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the leveraged fund
for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day's returns compounded over the period. Due to
the effect of this mathematical compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ
significantly from the performance (or inverse performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the
same period of time. For periods longer than a single day, the leveraged fund will lose money when the level of
the Index is flat, and the leveraged fund may lose money even if the level of the Index rises. Longer holding
periods, higher index volatility, and greater leverage all exacerbate the impact of compounding on an investor's
returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the leveraged fund's return
as much as or more than the return of the Index itself. Therefore, holding leveraged, inverse, and leveraged
inverse funds for longer periods of time increases their risk due to the effects of compounding and the inherent
difficulty in market timing. Leveraged funds are riskier than similarly benchmarked funds that do not use leverage.
Non-traditional funds are highly volatile and not suitable for all investors. They provide the potential for significant
losses.
Pandemic Risk: Large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease can greatly increase morbidity and mortality over a
wide geographic area, crossing international boundaries, and causing significant economic, social, and political
disruption. It is difficult to predict the long-term impact of such events because they are dependent on a variety
of factors including the global response of regulators and governments to address and mitigate the worldwide
effects of such events. Workforce reductions, travel restrictions, governmental responses and policies and
macroeconomic factors will negatively impact investment returns.
All securities trading is speculative in nature and involves the potential for substantial risk of loss. For that reason,
the client should understand that they should only place funds into a TCI managed account that the client can
afford to lose. All trading decisions made in the client’s TCI managed account could result in a substantial loss of
value of the client’s account.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE SYSTEMS, INDICATORS, OR TRADING SIGNALS OR STRATEGIES USED BY TCI
WILL RESULT IN PROFITS OR THAT SAID INVESTMENT STRATEGIES WILL NOT RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES IN
THE CLIENT’s ACCOUNT.
Disciplinary Information - Item 9
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events
that would be material to the client’s evaluation of TCI or the integrity of TCI’s management.
A. A criminal or civil action in a domestic, foreign or military court of competent jurisdiction.
TCI does not have anything to report for this item.

C. A self-regulatory organization proceeding.

Other Financial Industry Activities or Affiliations - Item 10
TCI and Mr. Turner do not have any other industry affiliations and are not registered with nor have an application
pending to register as a broker-dealer or registered representative of a broker-dealer; as a futures commission
merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, or an associated person with any of the
foregoing entities; or with another investment adviser.
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading - Item 11
Code of Ethics
TCI has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) to address investment advisory conduct. The Code focuses primarily
on fiduciary duty, personal securities transactions, insider trading, gifts, and conflicts of interest. The Code
includes TCI’s policies and procedures developed to protect client’s interests in relation to the following topics:
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
The duty at all times to place the interests of clients first;
The requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted in such a manner as to be
consistent with the Code;
The responsibility to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or misuse of an employee’s
position of trust and responsibility;
The fiduciary principle that information concerning the identity of security holdings and financial
circumstances of clients is confidential; and
The principle that independence in the investment decision-making process is paramount.
A copy of TCI’s Code of Ethics is available upon request to our firm at 1-855-678-8200.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
TCI, its affiliates, or its associated persons may buy or sell securities identical to those recommended to customers
for their personal accounts. In addition, any related person(s) may have an interest or position in a certain
security(ies) which may also be recommended to a client. TCI, its affiliates, or its associated persons may purchase
or sell securities for their own account that may be materially different from those recommended to clients.
At the present time, no officers, directors, or employees participate as board members or service providers of
publicly traded companies. At such time as any officers, directors, and employees of TCI participate as board
members or service providers of publicly traded companies and may be compensated by such companies for their
services, TCI will revise this Brochure to so indicate. At that time, TCI may recommend the purchase or sale of
securities of these companies as appropriate. TCI has policies and procedures in place to ensure the interests of
its clients are placed above those of TCI, its affiliates and its associated persons. For example, there are: (i)
restrictions as to when TCI and its associated persons may purchase or sell securities recommended by TCI; (ii)
policies in place to prevent the misappropriation of material non-public information; (iii) policies and procedures
Turner Capital Investments, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A
Page 12
to manage conflict of interest; and (iv) such other policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with
federal and state securities laws.
It is the expressed policy of TCI that no person employed by it may purchase or sell any security prior to a
transaction(s) being implemented for a client account, and therefore preventing such employees from benefitting
from transactions placed on behalf of client accounts.
As these situations represent a conflict of interest, TCI has established the following restrictions in order to ensure
its fiduciary responsibilities:
1. Directors, officers or employees of TCI shall not buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s) where
their decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason of his or her employment unless the
information is also available to the investing public on reasonable inquiry. No associated person of TCI
shall put his or her own interest above that of TCI’s clients.
2. TCI maintains a list of all securities holdings for itself, and its associated persons, with access to its
securities recommendations. These holdings are reviewed on a regular basis by an appropriate
officer/individual of TCI.
3. TCI emphasizes the unrestricted right of the client to decline to implement any advice rendered, except
in situations where TCI is granted discretionary authority of the client's account.
4. TCI requires that all employees must act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State regulations
governing registered investment advisory practices.
5. Any employee not in observance of the above may be subject to termination.
Brokerage Practices - Item 12
For TCI’s strategy management programs, we recommend and request clients to implement trades and maintain
custody of assets through discount brokers. We will recommend the services of Charles Schwab & Co., Member
FINRA/SIPC. (“Schwab”). Schwab is an independent and unaffiliated SEC-registered broker-dealer. Schwab offers
TCI services that include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance, and settlement of transactions.
How we select brokers/custodians
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker that will hold client assets and execute transactions on terms that
are, overall, most advantageous when compared with other available providers and their services. We consider
a wide range of factors, including both quantitative (Ex: costs) and qualitative (execution, reputation, service)
factors. We do not consider whether Schwab or any other broker-dealer/custodian, refers clients to TCI as part
of our evaluation of these broker-dealers.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other compensation, such as
brokerage services or research.
Directed Brokerage
TCI does not allow clients to direct brokerage activities.
Aggregation of Orders (Block Trading)
TCI typically enters purchase and sell orders for all accounts within a third-party platform and then the third party
executes block trades which provide the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and then TCI
allocates the appropriate shares to client accounts. The number of shares allocated is based on the percentage of
the portfolio that is attributable to the client account. This enables TCI to enter one order for all client accounts

simultaneously and then to provide all client accounts with the same execution price, which is the average of all
of the execution prices.
Review of Accounts - Item 13
Michael Turner is the owner, manager, and Chief Investment Strategist of TCI. As such he is responsible for
supervision of all associated persons. The strategies and client accounts will be reviewed by Mr. Turner, or other
appropriately qualified associated person, typically on a daily basis in the course of providing Advisory services.
Mr. Turner may consult with TCI’s compliance consultant, or independent legal counsel, who will be available to
review accounts with Mr. Turner for compliance with applicable state and federal regulations. Mr. Turner will be
making suitability determinations based upon information known or obtained from such client. The strategies
and client accounts usually will be reviewed on a daily basis by Mr. Turner as appropriate based upon the client's
objectives, financial situation and investment experience. The strategies and account reviews also may be
triggered by performance variance, changing developments with respect to specific holdings, changing market
conditions or changing client circumstances.
Schwab maintains actual custody of client assets. The client should receive account statements from the custodian
on no less than a quarterly basis. The client should review the account statements they receive from the
custodian. TCI does not provide account statements.
TCI serves as a sub-advisor to RIAs.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation - Item 14
TCI engages promoters to whom it pays a portion of the advisory fees paid by clients referred to it by those
promoters. Such compensation will be paid pursuant to a written agreement with the promoter. These
agreements may be terminated by either party from time to time. The cost of any such fees will be borne entirely
by TCI and not by any affected client. In such cases, TCI complies with the requirements of Rule 206(4)‐1 under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and the state securities regulations in those states in which it is registered,
to the extent required by applicable law.
TCI has a brokerage and clearing arrangement with Schwab for which the firm receives additional benefits from.
These additional benefits are listed under Item 12 above.
TCI has entered into an agreement with ProShares. ProShares own Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that we buy
and sell on our client’s behalf. The relationship agreement includes compensating TCI for a portion of our
marketing costs. This relationship will not affect our choice of ETFs to purchase or sell for our clients. There are
other such ETF providers that we can choose to use, and we will only choose ETFs that are in our client’s best
interest.
Custody - Item 15
TCI’s investment management clients’ assets are held at an unaffiliated qualified custodian. Although TCI does
not hold these assets, it is deemed to have custody for purposes of amended Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisors Act
due to the authority granted in the client’s custodial agreement to deduct its management fees directly from
Turner Capital Investments, LLC

client accounts and in certain situations where TCI accepts standing letters of authorization from clients to
transfer assets to third parties. TCI maintains safeguards in accordance with regulatory requirements regarding
custody of client assets. Clients will receive statements and copies of all trade confirmations directly from Schwab.
We encourage clients to carefully review the statements and confirmations sent to them by their custodian.
Investment Discretion - Item 16
Clients will enter into a written trading authorization with the custodian at which client's funds will be held
providing TCI authorization as the client's attorney-in-fact to buy, sell, trade or otherwise dispose of financial
instruments through the custodian. TCI will exercise such discretion in a manner consistent with the stated
investment objectives for the particular client account.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, TCI will observe the investment policies, limitations, and
restrictions of the clients for which it advises. TCI’s authority to trade securities for registered investment
companies may also be limited by certain federal securities and tax laws that require diversification of
investments and favor the holding of investments once made.
Client investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to TCI in writing. If TCI deems the guidelines and
restrictions provided by client to be detrimental to TCI’s ability to appropriately manage the client’s selected
portfolio(s) in keeping with the portfolio guidelines, TCI will discuss the issue with the client and reserves the right
to terminate the client relationship.
Voting Client Securities - Item 17
As a matter of firm policy and practice, TCI does not have any authority to and does not vote proxies on behalf of
advisory clients. Clients should receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodian or a
transfer agent. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities
maintained in client portfolios.
Financial Information - Item 18
TCI has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients
and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. TCI does not charge more than $1,200 in fees per client,
six months or more in advance.

Use of Leveraged Index ETFs in an Actively Managed Portfolio
Supervisory Framework Aligned with Form ADV Part 2A
Examiner Cover Memo
This memorandum and accompanying policy document are provided to describe how Turner Capital Investments,
LLC (“TCI”) supervises and manages the use of leveraged and inverse exchange traded funds within discretionary
managed accounts. The information herein is consistent with, and intended to supplement, disclosures contained
in TCI’s Form ADV Part 2A dated September 16, 2025. This document is supervisory in nature and is not marketing
material.
1. Purpose and Scope
As disclosed in Item 8 (Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss) of TCI’s Form ADV Part 2A, TCI
employs very actively managed, market-directional strategies and may invest in exchange traded funds, including
leveraged and inverse ETFs, at times. This document explains the supervisory controls and risk management
processes governing such use.
2. Regulatory Context and Acknowledgment
TCI acknowledges regulatory guidance noting that leveraged and inverse ETFs are generally designed to achieve
their stated objectives on a daily basis and that, due to compounding and volatility effects, performance over
periods longer than one day may differ significantly from the performance of the underlying index or
benchmark.¹²³ TCI does not dispute these characteristics and incorporates them into its risk management
framework.
3. Alignment with ADV Disclosures
Consistent with Item 8 of the ADV, TCI’s strategies are actively managed and market directional. Trading decisions,
including the use of equities, exchange traded funds, cash, and cash equivalents, are made at TCI’s discretion in
accordance with the objectives of the selected strategy. Leveraged ETFs are treated as instruments used to
implement strategy decisions, not as buy-and-hold investments.
4. Distinction Between Passive Holding and Active Management
Regulatory concerns regarding leveraged ETFs are primarily associated with passive or uninformed buy-and-hold
usage. TCI does not employ leveraged ETFs in a passive manner. Exposure is continuously supervised and subject
to objective entry, monitoring, and exit criteria, consistent with TCI’s active management disclosures.
5. Risk Identification and Monitoring
As disclosed under Risk of Loss and Risks Associated with Investing in Inverse and Leveraged Funds (ADV Item 8),
TCI recognizes risks including volatility drag, path dependency, compounding effects, and amplified gains and
losses. These risks are monitored as dynamic conditions rather than static assumptions.
6. Volatility and Compounding Controls
TCI recognizes that leveraged ETF risk over multi-day periods is primarily driven by volatility. Accordingly, volatility
conditions are explicitly monitored, and leveraged exposure may be reduced or eliminated when volatility regimes
are unfavorable or inconsistent with strategy objectives.
7. Exit Discipline and Portfolio Guardrails
Consistent with TCI’s fiduciary duty and supervisory responsibilities, leveraged ETF exposure is subject to rule-
based exits, momentum and trend deterioration triggers, and portfolio-level risk constraints. When risk thresholds
are breached, positions may be exited and portfolios may be moved to cash, as disclosed in the ADV.

8. Holding Period Clarification
TCI does not target a specific holding period for leveraged ETFs. Positions are held only while conditions remain
consistent with the selected strategy’s objectives. Holding duration is an outcome of conditions, not a strategy
goal, and may be shorter or longer than one trading day.
9. Supervision and Documentation
As described in Item 13 (Review of Accounts) and Item 16 (Investment Discretion) of the ADV, client accounts and
strategies are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Trade activity, portfolio positioning, and strategy behavior are
documented and reviewable for supervisory and audit purposes.
10. Client Disclosure and Suitability
TCI discloses the mechanics and risks of leveraged and inverse ETFs in its ADV, including the fact that such
instruments are more volatile and riskier than traditional funds and may not be suitable for all investors. Clients
are advised that there is no guarantee that TCI’s strategies will be profitable or that losses will not occur.
11. Supervisory Conclusion
TCI’s use of leveraged index ETFs is intentional, supervised, and consistent with the firm’s active management
disclosures. The firm does not rely on leveraged ETFs to perform as long-term buy-and-hold instruments, but
instead manages exposure through documented rules, monitoring, and risk controls consistent with regulatory
guidance and fiduciary obligations.
