Investment Advisory Business
Established in 2014 by David Clayman, Francesca Federico and Emanuel Frangiadakis,
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC (“Twelve Points Wealth”) provides investment
advisory services to clients on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis.
Twelve Points Wealth provides discretionary investment advisory services on a fee basis
per the fee schedule set forth at Item 5 below. Twelve Points Wealth’s annual investment
advisory fee shall generally (with exceptions-see below) include investment advisory
services, and, to the extent specifically requested by a retail client, financial planning and
consulting services. In the event that the client requires extraordinary planning and/or
consultation services (to be determined in the sole discretion of Twelve Points Wealth),
Twelve Points Wealth may determine to charge for such additional services, the dollar
amount of which shall be set forth in a separate written notice to the client.
To commence the investment advisory process, Twelve Points Wealth will ascertain each
client’s investment objective(s) and then allocate the client’s assets consistent with the
client’s designated investment objective(s). Once allocated, Twelve Points Wealth
provides ongoing supervision of the account(s). Before engaging Twelve Points Wealth to
provide investment advisory services, clients are required to enter into an Investment
Advisory Agreement with Twelve Points Wealth setting forth the terms and conditions of
the engagement (including termination), describing the scope of the services to be
provided, and the fee that is due from the client.
Limitations of Financial Planning and Non-Investment Consulting/Implementation
Services. To the extent requested by the client, Twelve Points Wealth will generally
provide financial planning and related consulting services regarding non-investment
related matters, such as tax and estate planning, insurance, etc. Twelve Points Wealth will
generally provide such consulting services inclusive of its advisory fee set forth at Item 5
below (exceptions could occur based upon assets under management, special projects,
stand-alone planning engagements, etc. for which Firm may charge a separate or additional
fee). Please Note. Twelve Points Wealth believes that it is important for the client to
address financial planning issues on an ongoing basis. Twelve Points Wealth’s advisory
fee, as set forth at Item 5 below, will remain the same regardless of whether or not the
client determines to address financial planning issues with Twelve Points Wealth. Please
Also Note: Twelve Points Wealth does not serve as an attorney or accountant and no
portion of our services should be construed as same. Accordingly, Twelve Points Wealth
does not prepare legal documents or prepare tax returns. To the extent requested by a client,
we may recommend the services of other professionals for non-investment implementation
purpose (i.e. attorneys, accountants, insurance, etc.) including a Twelve Points
representative in his/her separate individual capacity as a licensed insurance agent-see Item
10 below. The client is under no obligation to engage the services of any such
recommended professional. The client retains absolute discretion over all such
implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from Twelve
Points Wealth and/or its representatives. Please Note: If the client engages any
Page 4
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
recommended unaffiliated professional, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such
engagement, the client agrees to seek recourse exclusively from and against the engaged
professional. At all times, the engaged unaffiliated licensed professional[s] (i.e. attorney,
accountant, insurance agent, etc.), and not Twelve Points Wealth, shall be responsible for
the quality and competency of the services provided. Please Also Note-Conflict of
Interest: The recommendation by a Twelve Points Wealth representative that a client
purchase an insurance product presents a conflict of interest, as the receipt of an insurance
commission may provide an incentive to recommend insurance products based on
commissions to be received, rather than on a particular client’s need. No client is under any
obligation to purchase any insurance commission products from a Twelve Points Wealth
representative. Clients can purchase insurance products recommended by a Twelve Points
Wealth representative through other, non-affiliated insurance agents. ANY QUESTIONS:
Twelve Points Wealth’s Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly Van Winkle, remains
available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
regarding the above conflicts of interest.
Stand-Alone Planning Engagements. Twelve Points Wealth can be engaged to provide
financial planning services per the terms and conditions of a separate agreement and a
separate fee as discussed at Item 5 above, the fee for which shall be based upon the
individual providing the service and the scope of the services to be provided. Prior to
engaging Twelve Points Wealth to provide planning or consulting services, clients are
generally required to enter into a Financial Planning and Consulting Agreement with
Twelve Points Wealth 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 Twelve Points Wealth commencing services.
Please Note: Retirement Rollovers-Potential for Conflict of Interest: A client or
prospective client leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing
retirement plan (and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in
the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s
plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual
Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending
upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). If Twelve Points recommends
that a client roll over their retirement plan assets into an account to be managed by Twelve
Points, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if Twelve Points will earn
new (or increase its current) compensation as a result of the rollover. If Twelve Points
provides a recommendation as to whether a client should engage in a rollover or not
(whether it is from an employer’s plan or an existing IRA), Twelve Points is acting as a
fiduciary 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. No client is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets to an
account managed by Twelve Points, whether it is from an employer’s plan or an
existing IRA. Twelve Points’ Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly Van Winkle,
remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
Page 5
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
regarding the potential for conflict of interest presented by such rollover
recommendation.
Portfolio Activity. Twelve Points Wealth has a fiduciary duty to provide services
consistent with the client’s best interest. Twelve Points Wealth will review client portfolios
on an ongoing basis to determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors,
including, but not limited to, investment performance, market conditions, fund manager
tenure, style drift, account additions/withdrawals, and/or a change in the client’s
investment objective. Based upon these factors, there may be extended periods of time
when Twelve Points Wealth determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are neither
necessary, nor prudent. Clients remain subject to the fees described in Item 5 below during
periods of account inactivity.
Interval Funds/Risks and Limitations: Where appropriate, Twelve Points Wealth may
utilize interval funds. An interval fund is a non-traditional type of closed-end mutual
fund that periodically offers
to buy back a percentage of outstanding shares
from shareholders. Investments in an interval fund involve additional risk, including lack
of liquidity and restrictions on withdrawals. During any time periods outside of the
specified repurchase offer window(s), investors will be unable to sell their shares of the
interval fund. There is no assurance that an investor will be able to tender shares when or
in the amount desired. There can also be situations where an interval fund has a limited
amount of capacity to repurchase shares, and may not be able to fulfill all purchase orders.
In addition, the eventual sale price for the interval fund could be less than the interval fund
value on the date that the sale was requested. While an internal fund periodically offers to
repurchase a portion of its securities, there is no guarantee that investors may sell their
shares at any given time or in the desired amount. As interval funds can expose investors
to liquidity risk, investors should consider interval fund shares to be an illiquid investment.
Typically, the interval funds are not listed on any securities exchange and are not publicly
traded. Thus, there is no secondary market for the fund’s shares. Because these types of
investments involve certain additional risk, these funds will only be utilized when
consistent with a client’s investment objectives, individual situation, suitability, tolerance
for risk and liquidity needs. Investment should be avoided where an investor has a short-
term investing horizon and/or cannot bear the loss of some, or all, of the investment. There
can be no assurance that an interval fund investment will prove profitable or successful.
In light of these enhanced risks, a client may direct Twelve Points Wealth, in writing,
not to employ any or all such strategies for the client’s account.
the
Please Note: Socially Responsible Investing Limitations. Socially Responsible Investing
involves
incorporation of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”)
considerations into the investment due diligence process. ESG investing incorporates a set
of criteria/factors used in evaluating potential investments: Environmental (i.e., considers
how a company safeguards the environment); Social (i.e., the manner in which a company
manages relationships with its employees, customers, and the communities in which it
operates); and Governance (i.e., company management considerations). The number of
companies that meet an acceptable ESG mandate can be limited when compared to those
Page 6
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
that do not, and could underperform broad market indices. Investors must accept these
limitations, including potential for underperformance. As with any type of investment
(including any investment and/or investment strategies recommended and/or undertaken
by Twelve Points Wealth), there can be no assurance that investment in ESG securities or
funds will be profitable, or prove successful. Twelve Points Wealth does not maintain or
advocate an ESG investment strategy, but will seek to employ ESG if directed by a client
to do so. If implemented, Twelve Points Wealth shall rely upon the assessments undertaken
by the unaffiliated mutual fund, exchange traded fund or separate account manager to
determine that the fund’s or portfolio’s underlying company securities meet a socially
responsible mandate.
Please Note-Use of Mutual and Exchange Traded Funds: Twelve Points Wealth utilizes
mutual funds and exchange traded funds for its client portfolios. In addition to Twelve
Points Wealth’s investment advisory fee described below, and transaction and/or custodial
fees discussed below, clients will also incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange traded
fund purchases, charges imposed at the fund level (e.g. management fees and other fund
expenses).
Unaffiliated Private Investment Funds. Twelve Points Wealth also provides investment
advice regarding private investment funds. Twelve Points Wealth, on a non-discretionary
basis, may recommend that certain qualified clients consider an investment in private
investment funds, the description of which (the terms, conditions, risks, conflicts and fees,
including incentive compensation) is set forth in the fund’s offering documents. Twelve
Points Wealth’s role relative to unaffiliated private investment funds shall be limited to its
initial and ongoing due diligence and investment monitoring services. If a client determines
to become an unaffiliated private fund investor, the amount of assets invested in the fund(s)
shall be included as part of “assets under management” for purposes of Twelve Points
Wealth calculating its investment advisory fee. Twelve Points Wealth’s fee shall be in
addition to the fund’s fees. Twelve Points Wealth’s clients are under absolutely no
obligation to consider or make an investment in any private investment fund(s).
Please Note: Private investment funds generally involve various risk factors,
including, but not limited to, potential for complete loss of principal, liquidity
constraints and lack of transparency, a complete discussion of which is set forth in
each fund’s offering documents, which will be provided to each client for review
and consideration. Unlike liquid investments that a client may own, private
investment funds do not provide daily liquidity or pricing. Each prospective client
investor will be required to complete a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which
the client shall establish that he/she is qualified for investment in the fund, and
acknowledges and accepts the various risk factors that are associated with such an
investment.
Please Also Note: Valuation. In the event that Twelve Points Wealth references
private investment funds owned by the client on any supplemental account reports
prepared by Twelve Points Wealth, the value(s) for all private investment funds
Page 7
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
owned by the client shall reflect the most recent valuation provided by the fund
sponsor. However, if subsequent to purchase, the fund has not provided an updated
valuation, the valuation shall reflect the initial purchase price. If subsequent to
purchase, the fund provides an updated valuation, then the statement will reflect
that updated value. The updated value will continue to be reflected on the report
until the fund provides a further updated value. Please Also Note: As result of the
valuation process, if the valuation reflects initial purchase price or an updated value
subsequent to purchase price, the current value(s) of an investor’s fund holding(s)
could be significantly more or less than the value reflected on the report. Unless
otherwise indicated, the Twelve Points Wealth shall calculate its fee based upon
the latest value provided by the fund sponsor.
Wrap Program-Conflict of Interest. Except for participant directed retirement plan
engagements referenced below, Twelve Points Wealth provides services on a wrap fee
basis as a wrap program sponsor. Under Twelve Points Wealth’s wrap program, the client
generally receives investment advisory services, the execution of securities brokerage
transactions, custody and reporting services for a single specified fee. Participation in a
wrap program may cost the client more or less than purchasing such services separately.
The terms and conditions of a wrap program engagement are more fully discussed in
Twelve Points Wealth’s Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Conflict of Interest. Because wrap
program transaction fees and/or commissions are being paid by Twelve Points Wealth to
the account custodian/broker-dealer, Twelve Points Wealth could have an economic
incentive to maximize its compensation by seeking to minimize the number of trades in the
client’s account. See separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Twelve Points Wealth’s
Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly Van Winkle, remains available to address any
questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding a wrap fee
arrangement and the corresponding conflict of interest.
Please Note: Cash Positions. Twelve Points continues to treat cash as an asset class. As
such, unless determined to the contrary by Twelve Points, all cash positions (money
markets, etc.) shall continue to be included as part of assets under management for purposes
of calculating Twelve Points’ 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), Twelve Points may maintain cash
positions for defensive purposes. In addition, while assets are maintained in cash, such
amounts could miss market advances. Depending upon current yields, at any point in time,
Twelve Points’ advisory fee could exceed the interest paid by the client’s money market
fund. ANY QUESTIONS: Twelve Points’ Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly Van
Winkle, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective may
have regarding the above fee billing practice.
Use of Participant Account Management Platform (Pontera). Twelve Points uses a
third party platform, Pontera, to facilitate management of held away assets such as defined
contribution plan participant accounts, with discretion. Through Pontera, we do not have
custody of Client funds since we do not have direct access to Client login credentials to
Page 8
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
affect trades. We are not affiliated with Pontera in any way and receive no compensation
from Pontera for using the platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to
connect one or more accounts to the platform. Once Client accounts are connected to the
platform, Twelve Points will review the current account allocations. When deemed
necessary, Twelve Points will rebalance the account considering client investment goals,
risk tolerance, and investment profile, and any change in allocations will consider current
economic and market trends. Twelve Points aims to improve account performance over
time, minimize loss during difficult markets, and manage internal fees that harm account
performance. Client accounts will be reviewed at least quarterly and allocation changes
will be made as deemed necessary by Twelve Points in its discretion.
ERISA PLAN and 401(k) INDIVIDUAL ENGAGEMENTS:
Trustee Directed Plans. Twelve Points Wealth may be engaged to provide
discretionary investment advisory services to ERISA retirement plans, whereby
the Firm shall manage Plan assets consistent with the investment objective
designated by the Plan trustees. In such engagements, Twelve Points Wealth will
serve as an investment fiduciary as that term is defined under The Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Twelve Points Wealth will
generally provide services on an “assets under management” fee basis per the
terms and conditions of an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Plan and
the Firm.
Participant Directed Retirement Plans. Twelve Points Wealth may also provide
investment advisory and consulting services to participant directed retirement
plans per the terms and conditions of a Retirement Plan Services Agreement
between Twelve Points Wealth and the plan. For such engagements, Twelve Points
Wealth shall assist the Plan sponsor with the selection of an investment platform
from which Plan participants shall make their respective investment choices
(which may include investment strategies devised and managed by Twelve Points
Wealth), and, to the extent engaged to do so, may also provide corresponding
education to assist the participants with their decision-making process.
Client Retirement Plan Assets. If requested to do so, Twelve Points Wealth shall
provide investment advisory services relative to 401(k) plan assets maintained by
the client in conjunction with the retirement plan established by the client’s
employer. In such event, Twelve Points Wealth shall allocate (or recommend that
the client allocate) the retirement account assets among the investment options
available on the 401(k) platform. Twelve Points Wealth’s ability shall be limited
to the allocation of the assets among the investment alternatives available through
the plan. Twelve Points Wealth will not receive any communications from the plan
sponsor or custodian, and it shall remain the client’s exclusive obligation to notify
Twelve Points Wealth of any changes in investment alternatives, restrictions, etc.
pertaining to the retirement account. Unless expressly indicated by Twelve Points
to the contrary, in writing, the client’s 401(k) plan assets shall be included as assets
under management for purposes of Twelve Points calculating its advisory fee.

Twelve Points does not maintain possession of client retirement account
passwords.
Client Obligations. In performing our services, Twelve Points Wealth shall not be
required to verify any information received from the client or from the client’s other
professionals, and is expressly authorized to rely thereon. Moreover, it remains
each client’s responsibility to promptly notify Twelve Points Wealth if there is ever
any change in his/her/its financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose
of reviewing/evaluating/revising our previous recommendations and/or services.
Cybersecurity Risk. The information technology systems and networks that
Twelve Points Wealth and its third-party service providers use to provide services
to Twelve Points Wealth’s clients employ various controls that are designed to
prevent cybersecurity incidents stemming from intentional or unintentional actions
that could cause significant interruptions in Twelve Points Wealth’s operations
and/or result in the unauthorized acquisition or use of clients’ confidential or non-
public personal information. In accordance with Regulation S-P, Twelve Points
Wealth is committed to protecting the privacy and security of its clients' non-public
personal information by implementing appropriate administrative, technical, and
physical safeguards. Twelve Points Wealth has established processes to mitigate
the risks of cybersecurity incidents, including the requirement to restrict access to
such sensitive data and to monitor its systems for potential breaches. Clients and
Twelve Points Wealth are nonetheless subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents
that could ultimately cause them to incur financial losses and/or other adverse
consequences. Although Twelve Points Wealth has established processes to reduce
the risk of cybersecurity incidents, there is no guarantee that these efforts will
always be successful, especially considering that Twelve Points Wealth does not
control the cybersecurity measures and policies employed by third-party service
providers, issuers of securities, broker-dealers, qualified custodians, governmental
and other regulatory authorities, exchanges, and other financial market operators
and providers. In compliance with Regulation S-P, Twelve Points Wealth will
notify clients in the event of a data breach involving their non-public personal
information as required by applicable state and federal laws.
Please Note: Investment Risk. Different types of investments involve varying
degrees of risk, and it should not be assumed that future performance of any specific
investment or investment strategy (including the investments and/or investment
strategies recommended or undertaken by Twelve Points Wealth) will be profitable
or equal any specific performance level(s).
Twelve Points Wealth managed $1,649,782,094 on a discretionary basis and
$51,753,400 on a non-discretionary basis for a total of $1,701,535,494 of assets
under management as of December 31, 2024.

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Twelve Points Portfolio Plan: The Plan offers investors the opportunity to obtain
professional investment services and brokerage services for one all-inclusive fee
(“wrap fee”) based on assets under management. The wrap fee is an asset-based fee
which includes the management fee paid to Twelve Points Wealth for its services
as portfolio manager, as well as broker-dealer, custodial and clearing expenses. The
complete fee schedule for the Portfolio Plan is available in our Wrap Fee Program
Brochure.
The fee schedule is as follows:
Assets Under Management
Annual Fee
Under $5,000,000
1.00%/Negotiable
$5,000,001 - $15,000,000
0.60%/Negotiable
Over $15,000,001
0.40%/Negotiable
Additional details on the Firm’s wrap fee program can be found in the annexed Wrap Fee
Program Brochure.
The Firm maintains a minimum asset level of $500,000 and a minimum fee level of
1.00%.
Retirement Plan Advisory Fees. Twelve Points charges an asset-based fee for its
retirement plan advisory services according to the fee schedule below
The fee structure is expressed on an annualized basis and fees are charged in
advance based on the market value of assets on the last trading day of each calendar
quarter. In any partial calendar quarter, fees are pro-rated based on the number of
days in which the account is open during the quarter.
For plans with assets up to $3,000,000, our fee is calculated using a blended rate:
First $500k– 1.00%
Next $500k up to $1 Million - 0.75%
Next $2 Million up to $3 Million - 0.40%
For plans with assets above $3,000,000, our fee is calculated using a single rate:
$3 Million up to $5 Million – 0.40%
Page 11
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
$5 Million up to $8 Million – 0.35%
$8 Million up to $10 Million – 0.30%
For plans with assets above $10,000,000, our fee is a flat fee which only increases
upon reaching the next tier:
$10 Million up to $15 Million – Flat fee of $25,000
$15 Million up to $25 Million – Flat fee of $30,000
$25 Million – Customized flat fee
Custodian Charges - Additional Fees. As discussed below at Item 12 below,
when requested to recommend a broker-dealer/custodian for client accounts,
Twelve Points Wealth generally recommends that Schwab, Fidelity, or Goldman
Sachs serve as the broker-dealer/custodian for client investment management
assets. Broker-dealers such as Schwab, Fidelity, and Goldman Sachs charge
brokerage commissions, transaction, and/or other type fees for effecting certain
types of securities transactions (i.e., including transaction fees for certain mutual
funds, dealer spreads, and mark-ups and mark-downs charged for fixed income
transactions, etc.). The types of securities for which transaction fees, commissions,
and/or other type fees (as well as the amount of those fees) shall differ depending
upon the broker-dealer/custodian. While certain custodians, including Schwab,
Fidelity, and Goldman Sachs, generally (with exceptions) do not currently charge
fees on individual equity transactions (including ETFs), others do. There can be no
assurance that Schwab, Fidelity, or Goldman Sachs will not change its transaction
fee pricing in the future. Please Also Note: Schwab, Fidelity, and Goldman Sachs
may also assess fees to clients who elect to receive trade confirmations and account
statements by regular mail rather than electronically.
Fee Dispersion. Twelve Points Wealth, in its discretion, may charge a lesser
investment advisory fee, charge a flat fee, waive its fee entirely, or charge fee on a
different interval, based upon certain criteria (i.e. anticipated future earning
capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be
managed, related accounts, account composition, complexity of the engagement,
anticipated services to be rendered, grandfathered fee schedules, employees and
family members, courtesy accounts, competition, negotiations with client, etc.).
Please Note: As result of the above, similarly situated clients could pay different
fees. In addition, similar advisory services may be available from other investment
advisers for similar or lower fees. ANY QUESTIONS: Twelve Points Wealth’s
Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly Van Winkle, remains available to address any
questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding advisory fees.
Twelve Points Wealth and/or you may terminate the account agreement, in whole
or in part, at any time with 30 days written notice. Upon termination, any fees paid
in advance will be prorated to the date of termination and any excess shall be
Page 12
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
refunded to you. Your advisory agreement with Twelve Points Wealth is non-
transferable without your written approval.
Margin Accounts: Risks. Twelve Points Wealth Management does not
recommend the use of margin for investment purposes. A margin account is a
brokerage account that allows investors to borrow money to buy securities and/or
for other non-investment borrowing purposes. The broker/custodian charges the
investor interest for the right to borrow money and uses the securities as collateral.
By using borrowed funds, the customer is employing leverage that will magnify
both account gains and losses. Please Note: The use of margin can cause significant
adverse financial consequences in the event of a market correction. ANY
QUESTIONS: Our Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly Van Winkle, remains
available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
regarding the use of margin.
Mutual Fund Fees and Expenses:
The advisory fees discussed above do not include certain indirect costs that may be
associated with securities purchased or held in an account. Examples of indirect
costs include expenses associated with investments in ETFs, mutual funds (as
described below), or other pooled investments.
Clients should understand that the annual advisory fees charged in the wrap
program are in addition to the management fees and operating expenses charged by
open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds. Certain open-end mutual funds
may also assess a distribution fee or an administrative or service fee (“trail”). Such
fees are included in the calculation of operating expenses of a mutual fund and are
disclosed in the fund prospectus. To the extent that a client intends to hold fund
shares for an extended period of time, it may be more economical for the client to
purchase fund shares outside of these programs.
Clients may be able to purchase mutual funds directly from their respective fund
families without incurring Twelve Points Wealth’s advisory fee. When purchasing
directly from fund families, clients may incur a front- or back-end sales charge, or
“load”. Clients should note that only no-load or load-waived funds may be
purchased in the Plan.
Clients should also understand that the shares of certain mutual funds offered in
these programs may impose short-term trading charges (typically 1%-2% of the
amount originally invested) for redemptions generally made within short periods of
time. These short-term charges are imposed by the funds (and not by Twelve Points
Wealth) to deter “market timers” who trade actively in fund shares. Clients should
consider these short-term trading charges when selecting the program and/or
Page 13
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
mutual funds in which they invest. These market timing charges are available in
each fund’s prospectus.
Financial Planning Fees
The fixed fee for creating client financial plans is $2500. The fee is negotiable and
the final fee schedule will be attached in the Financial Planning Agreement.
The hourly fee for these services ranges between $400 and $1000 depending upon
the planner. The fees are negotiable and the final fee schedule will be attached in
the Financial Planning Agreement.
Fixed and hourly financial planning fees are paid via check. Fees are paid upon
delivery of the financial plan.
Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty, for full refund of Twelve
Points Wealth’s fees, within five business days of signing the Financial Planning
Agreement. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Financial Planning Agreement
upon written notice but fees will be due for work already performed.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side by Side Management
Twelve Points Wealth does not charge performance-based fees.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Twelve Points Wealth provides investment advisory services to individuals,
pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, corporations, accredited investors, family
offices and high net worth investors.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Twelve Points Wealth's research methods include charting, fundamental and
technical analysis. Charting prepares a technical analysis using diagrams to
illustrate various patterns or progressions in market or account movement.
Fundamental analysis is an assessment of various factors including, but not limited
to security price, book value, industry and market outlook and other characteristics
of the security. Technical analysis employs the use of advanced data aggregation
techniques to define certain trends of progressions in market place activity. We use
technical analysis to place stops in accounts when appropriate. We also monitor all
models on a daily basis in order to determine that they are within our expected
parameters.

Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
Twelve Points Wealth's primary approach to asset management utilizes a tactical
allocation strategy which has been designed to reduce risk and increase
performance. In order to accomplish this objective, Twelve Points Wealth primarily
invests in exchange-listed securities, corporate debt, municipal securities (bonds),
treasury securities (bonds), variable life insurance, variable annuities and options-
securities over the long term.
Twelve Points Wealth may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment
allocations to diversify the portfolio. The firm may make similar recommendations
on specific stocks to increase sector weighting and/or dividend potential.
Additionally, the firm may recommend employing cash positions as a possible
hedge against market movement, where such movements may adversely affect the
portfolio. Twelve Points Wealth may also recommend selling positions for reasons
that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or
sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or
overweighting of the position(s) in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of client,
or any risk deemed unacceptable for the client’s risk tolerance.
Twelve Points Wealth's main sources of research information include financial
newspapers and magazines, annual reports, prospectuses, filings with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, company press releases, and research
materials prepared by others.
Interval funds: are a type of closed-end fund that allow withdrawals only at set
times, usually once a quarter. The fund may also impose limits on how much may
be withdrawn during a quarter. Interval funds will usually invest in high-yielding
and low-liquidity type investments that may not be found in normal mutual funds.
This carries additional liquidity and valuation risk
Risk of Loss: Investing in securities involves a certain amount of risk that clients
should be prepared to bear. Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the
securities recommended. Clients may be subject to the risk that Twelve Points
Wealth may allocate assets to an asset class that underperforms other asset classes.
Prices of securities recommended by Twelve Points Wealth may fall. As a result,
your investment may decline in value and you could lose money.
The following is a description of the specific material risks relating to the
investment strategy employed and types of securities recommended by Twelve
Points Wealth:
• Market Risk: Prices of securities recommended by us and held by you may fall.
As a result, your investment may decline in value and you could lose money.
• Growth Stocks Risk: The growth style may, over time, go in and out of favor.
At times when the growth investing style is out of favor, your account may
underperform accounts that use different investment styles.
Page 15
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
• Active Trading Risk: Active trading (“high portfolio turnover”) generally
results in correspondingly greater transaction expenses.
• Asset Allocation Risk: Twelve Points Wealth maintains an asset allocation
strategy and the amount invested in various asset classes of securities may change
over time. Your account is subject to the risk that we may allocate assets to an asset
class that underperforms other asset classes.
• Interest Rate Risk: The value of debt obligations will typically fluctuate with
interest rate changes. These fluctuations can be greater for debt obligations with
longer maturities. When interest rates rise, debt obligations will generally decline
in value and you could lose money as a result. Periods of declining or low interest
rates may negatively impact the yield.
• Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of the debt obligation will be
unable to make interest or principal payments on time. A decrease in an issuer’s
credit rating may cause a decline in the value of the debt obligations held.
• Private Fund Risk: Twelve Points Wealth may invest in hedge funds or private
equity funds. These private funds are not registered under the Investment Company
Act or any other U.S. federal or state securities laws or the laws of any other
authority. The Investment Company Act provides certain protections to investors
and imposes certain restrictions on registered investment companies, which will not
be applicable to the private funds.
• Derivatives Risk: The use of derivatives, such as futures, forwards, options and
swaps, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than the risks associated
with investing directly in securities. Prices of derivatives can be volatile and may
move in unexpected ways, especially in unusual market conditions. Some
derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. In addition, there
may be imperfect or even negative correlation between the price of the derivatives
contract and the price of the underlying securities. Other risks arise from the
potential inability to terminate or sell derivative positions. Further, derivatives
could result in loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not perform as
promised.
• Options Strategies: In limited situations, generally upon client direction and/or
consent, Twelve Points may engage in options transactions (or engage an
independent investment manager to do so) for the purpose of hedging risk and/or
generating portfolio income. The use of options transactions as an investment
strategy can involve a high level of inherent risk. Option transactions establish a
contract between two parties concerning the buying or selling of an asset at a
predetermined price during a specific period of time. During the term of the option
contract, the buyer of the option gains the right to demand fulfillment by the seller.
Fulfillment may take the form of either selling or purchasing a security, depending
upon the nature of the option contract. Generally, the purchase or sale of an option
contract shall be with the intent of “hedging” a potential market risk in a client’s
Page 16
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
portfolio and/or generating income for a client’s portfolio. Please Note: Certain
options-related strategies (i.e. straddles, short positions, etc.), may, in and of
themselves, produce principal volatility and/or risk. Thus, a client must be willing
to accept these enhanced volatility and principal risks associated with such
strategies. In light of these enhanced risks, client may direct Twelve Points, in
writing, not to employ any or all such strategies for his/her/their/its accounts.
• Covered Call Writing: Covered call writing is the sale of in-, at-, or out-of-the-
money call options against a long security position held in a client portfolio. This
type of transaction is intended to generate income. It also serves to create partial
downside protection in the event the security position declines in value. Income is
received from the proceeds of the option sale. Such income may be reduced or lost
to the extent it is determined to buy back the option position before its expiration.
There can be no assurance that the security will not be called away by the option
buyer, which will result in the client (option writer) to lose ownership in the security
and incur potential unintended tax consequences. Covered call strategies are
generally better suited for positions with lower price volatility.
• Long Put Option Purchases: Long put option purchases allow the option holder
to sell or “put” the underlying security at the contract strike price at a future date.
If the price of the underlying security declines in value, the value of the long-put
option can increase in value depending upon the strike price and expiration. Long
puts are often used to hedge a long stock position to protect against downside risk.
The security/portfolio could still experience losses depending on the quantity of the
puts bought, strike price and expiration. In the event that the security is put to the
option holder, it will result in the client (option seller) to lose ownership in the
security and to incur potential unintended tax consequences. Options are wasting
assets and expire (usually within months of issuance).
• Long/Short Equity Strategy: On a limited basis, Twelve Points may determine
to allocate client assets to a long/short equity strategy (the “Strategy”) whereby both
long and short positions within the same portfolio. Long-short equity is an
investment strategy that seeks to take a long position in underpriced stocks while
selling short, overpriced shares. Please Note: There can be no assurance that the
Strategy will prove successful. Opt Out: A client can advise Twelve Points, in
writing, not to utilize the Strategy.
Please Note: There can be no guarantee that an options strategy will achieve its
objective or prove successful. No client is under any obligation to enter into any
option transactions. However, if the client does so, he/she must be prepared to
accept the potential for unintended or undesired consequences (i.e., losing
ownership of the security, incurring capital gains taxes). ANY QUESTIONS:
Twelve Points’ Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly Van Winkle, remains
available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
regarding options.
Page 17

Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
Questions regarding these risks and/or increased costs may be directed to the firm
and its representatives.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Rule 206(4)-4 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 requires investment advisers
to provide clients with disclosures as to any legal or disciplinary activities deemed
material to the client’s evaluation of the adviser. Please note, neither the firm nor
its personnel have any disciplinary, regulatory, criminal, civil, or otherwise
reportable history to disclose at this time.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Mr. Frangiadakis is a trustee of Frangiadakis and Deligiannides Family Trust. Mr.
Frangiadakis does not receive any compensation for this activity and only helps
administratively on family projects that are in the trust.
Insurance: As indicated at Item 4 above, a client can purchase an insurance product
from a Twelve Points representative in his/her separate individual capacity as a
licensed insurance agent. Please Note-Conflict of Interest: The recommendation by
a Twelve Points Wealth representative that a client purchase an insurance product
presents a conflict of interest, as the receipt of an insurance commission may
provide an incentive to recommend insurance products based on commissions to be
received, rather than on a particular client’s need. No client is under any obligation
to purchase any insurance commission products from a Twelve Points Wealth
representative. Clients can purchase insurance products recommended by a Twelve
Points Wealth representative through other, non-affiliated insurance agents.
Commodities. Twelve Points is also affiliated with Twelve Points Capital (“TPC”),
a CFTC registered and NFA member commodities broker, whose business is
separate and independent of the Firm. Please Note-Conflict of Interest: Because a
Twelve Points affiliate can earn compensation, the recommendation by a Twelve
Points Wealth representative that a client purchase commodities through TPC
presents a conflict of interest. No client is under any obligation to engage TPC.
Clients can purchase commodities through other, non-affiliated brokers.
Trustee Services. Twelve Points is affiliated with Twelve Points Fiduciary
Services (“Fiduciary”), a MA corporate trustee that provides trustee services for
Twelve Points’ clients. Please Note-Conflict of Interest: Because a Twelve Points
affiliate can earn compensation, the recommendation by a Twelve Points
representative that a client engage Fiduciary for trustee services presents a conflict
of interest. No client is under any obligation to engage Fiduciary. Clients can obtain
trustee services through other, non-affiliated trustees. See custody related
disclosure at Item 15 below.
Page 18
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
Investment Banking. Twelve Points is also affiliated with Twelve Points Business
Advisors, a FINRA member investment banking broker-dealer. Please Note-
Conflict of Interest: Because a Twelve Points affiliate can earn compensation, the
recommendation by a Twelve Points representative that a client engage Advisors
for trustee services presents a conflict of interest. No client is under any obligation
to engage Fiduciary. Clients can obtain investment banking services through other,
non-affiliated broker-dealer.
ANY QUESTIONS: Twelve Points Wealth’s Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly
Van Winkle, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective
client may have regarding the above conflicts of interest.
in Client
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest
Transactions and Personal Trading
As required by Rule 204A-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Twelve Points
Wealth has adopted a Code of Ethics that sets forth the basic policies of ethical
conduct for all managers, officers, and employees of the firm. The Code of Ethics
describes the firm's fiduciary duties and obligations to clients, and sets forth the
firm’s practice of supervising the personal securities transactions of employees who
maintain access to client information. The Code of Ethics is available upon request.
Twelve Points Wealth collects and maintains records of securities holdings and
transactions made by employees. The firm reviews the personal trading practices
of its employees to identify and resolve any potential or realized conflicts of
interest.
Twelve Points Wealth and/or its representatives may purchase or sell investments
for their personal accounts that they have similarly recommended to clients.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Brokerage Practices
In the event that the client requests that Twelve Points Wealth recommend a broker-
dealer/custodian for execution and/or custodial services, Twelve Points Wealth
generally recommends that investment advisory accounts be maintained at Charles
Schwab & Co., Inc., Fidelity, or Goldman Sachs. Prior to engaging Twelve Points
Wealth to provide investment management services, the client will be required to
enter into a formal Investment Advisory Agreement with Twelve Points Wealth
setting forth the terms and conditions under which Twelve Points Wealth shall
advise on the client's assets, and a separate custodial/clearing agreement with each
designated broker-dealer/custodian.
Factors that Twelve Points Wealth considers in recommending Schwab, Fidelity,
or Goldman Sachs (or any other broker-dealer/custodian to clients) include
Page 19
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
historical relationship with Twelve Points Wealth, financial strength, reputation,
execution capabilities, pricing, research, and service.
Research and Benefits: Although not a material consideration when determining
whether to recommend that a client utilize the services of a particular broker-
dealer/custodian, Twelve Points Wealth can receive from Schwab, Fidelity, and/or
Goldman Sachs (or another broker-dealer/custodian, investment manager, platform
sponsor, mutual fund sponsor, or vendor) without cost (and/or at a discount) support
services and/or products, certain of which assist Twelve Points Wealth to better
monitor and service client accounts maintained at such institutions. Included within
the support services that can be obtained by Twelve Points Wealth can be
investment-related research, pricing information and market data, software and
other technology that provide access to client account data, compliance and/or
practice management-related publications, discounted or gratis consulting services,
discounted and/or gratis attendance at conferences, meetings, and other educational
and/or social events, marketing support-including client events, computer hardware
and/or software and/or other products used by Twelve Points Wealth in furtherance
of its investment advisory business operations.
Twelve Points Wealth’s clients do not pay more for investment transactions
effected and/or assets maintained at Schwab, Fidelity, and/or Goldman Sachs as the
result of this arrangement. There is no corresponding commitment made by Twelve
Points Wealth to Schwab, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, or any other any entity, to
invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual
funds, securities or other investment products as result of the above arrangement.
ANY QUESTIONS: Twelve Points Wealth’s Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly
Van Winkle, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective
client may have regarding the above arrangements and the corresponding conflict
of interest presented by such arrangements.
Directed Brokerage. Twelve Points Wealth recommends that its clients utilize the
brokerage and custodial services provided by Schwab, Fidelity, or Goldman Sachs.
The Firm generally does not accept directed brokerage arrangements (but could
make exceptions). A directed brokerage arrangement arises when a client requires
that account transactions be effected through a specific broker-dealer/custodian,
other than one generally recommended by the Twelve Points Wealth (i.e., Schwab,
Fidelity, or Goldman Sachs). In such client directed arrangements, the client will
negotiate terms and arrangements for their account with that broker-dealer, and
Firm will not seek better execution services or prices from other broker-dealers or
be able to "batch" the client’s transactions for execution through other broker-
dealers with orders for other accounts managed by Twelve Points Wealth. As a
result, a client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater
spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than
would otherwise be the case. Please Note: In the event that the client directs Twelve
Points Wealth to effect securities transactions for the client’s accounts through a
specific broker-dealer, the client correspondingly acknowledges that such direction
may cause the accounts to incur higher commissions or transaction costs than the
Page 20
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
accounts would otherwise incur had the client determined to effect account
transactions through alternative clearing arrangements that may be available
through Twelve Points Wealth. Please Also Note: Higher transaction costs
adversely impact account performance. Please Further Note: Transactions for
directed accounts will generally be executed following the execution of portfolio
transactions for non-directed accounts.
Order Aggregation. Transactions for each client account generally will be effected
independently unless Firm decides to purchase or sell the same securities for several
clients at approximately the same time. The Firm may (but is not obligated to)
combine or “batch” such orders for individual equity transactions (including ETFs)
with the intention to obtain better price execution, to negotiate more favorable
commission rates, or to allocate more equitably among the Firm’s clients
differences in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might have
occurred had such orders been placed independently. Under this procedure,
transactions will be averaged as to price and will be allocated among clients in
proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account on any
given day. In the event that the Firm becomes aware that a Firm employee seeks to
trade in the same security on the same day, the employee transaction will either be
included in the “batch” transaction or transacted after all discretionary client
transactions have been completed. The Firm shall not receive any additional
compensation or remuneration as the result of such aggregation.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Accounts will be monitored on an ongoing basis by Twelve Points Wealth.
Accounts will be reviewed more frequently as necessary to respond to significant
changes in client circumstances or changes in market conditions. Triggering factors
to warrant more in depth review could include the following;
Awareness of a change in your investment objective
change in market conditions
change in your employment status
re-balancing of assets to maintain proper asset allocation
other activity discovered as the account is normally reviewed.
You will receive written brokerage or custodial statements each quarter. You are
encouraged to notify us of changes to your personal finances, especially those
changes that might adversely affect your investment plan.
All financial planning accounts are reviewed upon financial plan creation and plan
delivery by Twelve Points Wealth. There is only one level of review for financial
plans, and that is the total review conducted to create the financial plan.
With respect to financial plans, Twelve Points Wealth’s services will generally
conclude upon delivery of the financial plan.
Page 21
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
Twelve Points Wealth will provide monthly, quarterly and annual holdings reports
in addition to the quarterly statements that you receive from the broker-dealer or
custodian. The reports will generally include a portfolio appraisal, realized and
unrealized gains/losses, income and expenses, contributions and withdrawals, and
performance history.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
As indicated at Item 12 above, Twelve Points Wealth can receive from Schwab,
Fidelity, or Goldman Sachs (and others) without cost (and/or at a discount), support
services and/or products. Twelve Points Wealth’s clients do not pay more for
investment transactions effected and/or assets maintained at Schwab, Fidelity, or
Goldman Sachs (or any other institution) as result of this arrangement. There is no
corresponding commitment made by Twelve Points Wealth to Schwab, Fidelity,
Goldman Sachs, or to any other entity, to invest any specific amount or percentage
of client assets in any specific mutual funds, securities or other investment products
as the result of the above arrangement. ANY QUESTIONS: Twelve Points
Wealth’s Chief Compliance Officer, Kimberly Van Winkle, remains available
to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding
the above arrangement and the corresponding conflicts of interest presented
by such arrangements.
Twelve Points engages promoters to introduce new prospective clients to the
Promoter consistent with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, its corresponding.
Rules, and applicable state regulatory requirements. If the prospect subsequently
engages the Promoter, the promoter shall generally be compensated by the
Promoter for the introduction. Because the promoter has an economic incentive to
introduce the prospect to the Promoter, a conflict of interest is presented. The
promoter’s introduction shall not result in the prospect’s payment of a higher
investment advisory fee to the Promoter (i.e., if the prospect was to engage the
Promoter independent of the promoter’s introduction). The promoter, at the time of
the introduction, shall usually provide the prospective client with a written
disclosure statement reflecting the arrangement with the Promoter , together with a
copy of: (1) the Promoter ’s written disclosure Brochure; and, (2) Form CRS (if the
prospect is a retail client).
Item 15: Custody
Twelve Points Wealth shall have the ability to deduct its advisory fee from the
client’s custodial account. Clients are provided with written
transaction
confirmation notices, and a written summary account statement directly from the
custodian (i.e., Schwab, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, etc.) at least quarterly. Please
Note: To the extent that Twelve Points Wealth provides clients with periodic
account statements or reports, the client is urged to compare any statement or report
provided by Twelve Points Wealth with the account statements received from the
Page 22
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
account custodian. Please Also Note: The account custodian does not verify the
accuracy of Twelve Points Wealth’s advisory fee calculation.
In addition, Twelve Points, certain of its employees, and its affiliate (see disclosure
regarding Fiduciary at Item 10 above) can engage in other services and/or practices
(i.e., billpaying, trustee service, etc.) requiring disclosure at Item 9 of Part 1 of Form
ADV. These services and practices result in Twelve Points having custody under
Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act. Per the Rule, having such custody requires
Twelve Points to undergo an annual surprise CPA examination, and make a
corresponding Form ADV-E filing with the SEC, for as long as Twelve Points
and/or its employees and affiliates provide such services and/or engages in such
practices. ANY QUESTIONS: Twelve Points’ Chief Compliance Officer,
Kimberly Van Winkle, remains available to address any questions that a client
or prospective client may have regarding custody-related issues.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Twelve Points Wealth maintains discretionary authority over the selection and
amount of securities to be bought or sold in client accounts without obtaining prior
consent or approval from clients. However, these purchases or sales may be subject
to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by
the client and agreed to by the firm.
Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the client.
The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the client’s execution of an
agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary
trades made by Twelve Points Wealth will be in accordance with each client’s
investment objectives and goals.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Twelve Points Wealth has adopted and implemented written Proxy Voting Policies
and Procedures (“Proxy Voting Procedures”). These procedures have been
designed to reasonably ensure that votes are made in your best interest. The Proxy
Voting Procedures describe how Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
addresses voting authority, material conflicts of interest, voting decisions,
notification to you, books and records requirements, etc. and ensures that proxies
are voted in the best interest of you, the client.
Within Twelve Points Wealth's fiduciary obligation to clients, the firm must ensure
that any proxies for which it has voting authority are voted solely in the best
interests, and for the exclusive benefit, of you, the client. The Proxy Voting
Procedures are intended to guide Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC and its
personnel in ensuring that proxies are voted in such manner without limiting the
firm or its personnel in specific situations to vote in a predetermined manner. These
policies are designed to assist Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC in
identifying and resolving any conflicts of interest with regard to voting client
Page 23
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Twelve Points Wealth Management LLC
proxies. A copy of Twelve Points Wealth's Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures
may be obtained upon request.
Twelve Points Wealth shall vote proxies in conjunction with the proxy voting
administrative and due diligence services provided by Proxy Edge, an unaffiliated
nationally recognized proxy voting service of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.
(“Broadridge”). Twelve Points Wealth, in conjunction with the services provided
by Broadridge, shall monitor corporate actions of individual issuers and investment
companies consistent with Twelve Points Wealth’s fiduciary duty to vote proxies
in the best interests of its clients.
Item 18: Financial Information
Under Rule 206(4)-4 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, investment advisers
are required to disclose certain financial information about their business practices
that might serve as material to the client’s decision in choosing an investment
adviser.
On April 23, 2020, the firm received a Paycheck Protection Plan Loan through the
SBA in conjunction with the relief afforded from the CARES [Act]. The firm used
the PPP to continue payroll for the firm and the firm did not suffer any interruption
of service.
As of the date of this filing, Twelve Points Wealth does not require the pre-payment
of more than $1,200 in fees per client six months or more in advance or maintain
any financial hardships or other conditions that might impair its ability to meet its
contractual obligations to clients.

Mr. Cahill is certified for financial planning services in the United States by Certified
Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”). Therefore, he may refer to
himself as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional or a CFP® professional,
and he may use these and CFP Board’s other certification marks (the “CFP Board
Certification Marks”). The CFP® certification is voluntary. No federal or state law or
regulation requires financial planners to hold the CFP® certification. You may find more
information about the CFP® certification at www.cfp.net.
CFP® professionals have met CFP Board’s high standards for education, examination,
experience, and ethics. To become a CFP® professional, an individual must fulfill the
following requirements:
• Education – Earn a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or
university and complete CFP Board-approved coursework at a college or university
through a CFP Board Registered Program. The coursework covers the financial
planning subject areas CFP Board has determined are necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, as well as a comprehensive
financial plan development capstone course. A candidate may satisfy some of the
coursework requirement through other qualifying credentials. CFP Board implemented
the bachelor’s degree or higher requirement in 2007 and the financial planning
development capstone course requirement in March 2012. Therefore, a CFP®
professional who first became certified before those dates may not have earned a
bachelor’s or higher degree or completed a financial planning development capstone
course.
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The
examination is designed to assess an individual’s ability to integrate and apply a broad
base of financial planning knowledge in the context of real-life financial planning
situations.

Board’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct (“Code and Standards”), which sets
forth the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and
ethics requirements to remain certified and maintain the right to continue to use the CFP
Board Certification Marks:
• Ethics – Commit to complying with CFP Board’s Code and Standards. This includes
a commitment to CFP Board, as part of the certification, to act as a fiduciary, and
therefore, act in the best interests of the client, at all times when providing financial
advice and financial planning. CFP Board may sanction a CFP® professional who does
not abide by this commitment, but CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP® professional's
services. A client who seeks a similar commitment should obtain a written engagement
that includes a fiduciary obligation to the client.
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years
to maintain competence, demonstrate specified levels of knowledge, skills, and
abilities, and keep up with developments in financial planning. Two of the hours must
address the Code and Standards.
The Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® (CAP®) certification is granted by the American
College of Financial Services. Candidates must be engaged in the following professional
activities three of the five years immediately preceding the application:
Advising individuals or charitable organizations in wealth and estate planning,
financial planning, charitable planning, charitable giving, planned giving, nonprofit

Year Born: 1965
Education:
Master of Business Administration, New York University, 1990
Bachelor of Arts, Economics, New York University, 1986
Professional Designations:
Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®)
CFA® designates an international professional certificate that is offered by the CFA
Institute. The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) charter is a globally respected,
graduate-level investment credential established in 1962 and awarded by CFA Institute —
the largest global association of investment professionals.
There are currently more than 190,000 CFA® Charterholders working in over 170 countries
and regions. To earn the CFA® charter, candidates must: (1) pass three sequential, six-hour
examinations; (2) have at least four years of qualified professional investment experience;
(3) join CFA Institute as members; and (4) commit to abide by, and annually reaffirm, their
adherence to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
High Ethical Standards
The CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, enforced through
an active professional conduct program, require CFA® Charterholders to:
• Place their clients’ interests ahead of their own
• Maintain independence and objectivity
• Act with integrity
• Maintain and improve their professional competence
• Disclose conflicts of interest and legal matters
Global Recognition
Passing the three CFA exams is a difficult feat that requires extensive study (successful
candidates report spending an average of 300 hours of study per level). Earning the CFA®
charter demonstrates mastery of many of the advanced skills needed for investment
analysis and decision making in today’s quickly evolving global financial industry. As a
result, employers and clients are increasingly seeking CFA® Charterholders —often
making the charter a prerequisite for employment. Additionally, regulatory bodies in 38
countries/territories recognize the CFA® charter as a proxy for meeting certain licensing

requirements, and more than 466 colleges and universities around the world have

Comprehensive and Current Knowledge
The CFA Program curriculum provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge for
investment decision making and is firmly grounded in the knowledge and skills used every
day in the investment profession. The three levels of the CFA Program test a proficiency
with a wide range of fundamental and advanced investment topics, including ethical and
professional standards, fixed-income and equity analysis, alternative and derivative
investments, economics, financial reporting standards, portfolio management, and wealth
planning.
The CFA Program curriculum is updated every year by experts from around the world to
ensure that candidates learn the most relevant and practical new tools, ideas, and
investment and wealth management skills to reflect the dynamic and complex nature of
the profession.
