Firm Description
UAK Diversified LLC dba UAK Diversified Wealth Advisors (“UAK”) was founded in 2016
and began offering advisory services in 2019. The firm was originally named James Andre
LLC was renamed UAK Diversified LLC in 2018. They began using the dba name UAK
Diversified Wealth Advisors in October 2022. In Ujae Kang and Sara Kang are each 50%
owner.
Types of Advisory Services
ASSET MANAGEMENT
UAK offers discretionary asset management services to advisory Clients. UAK will offer
Clients ongoing asset management services through determining individual investment
goals, time horizons, objectives, and risk tolerance. Investment strategies, investment
selection, asset allocation, portfolio monitoring and the overall investment program will be
based on the above factors. UAK may recommend common and preferred stocks, bonds,
debentures, notes, mutual fund shares, exchange traded funds, options, variable life
insurance, and variable annuities. The Client will authorize UAK discretionary authority to
execute selected investment program transactions as stated within the Investment
Advisory Agreement.
ASSETS HELD AWAY
UAK uses a third-party platform to facilitate management of held away assets such as
defined contribution plan participant accounts, with discretion. The platform allows us to
avoid being considered to have custody of Client funds since we do not have direct access
to Client log-in credentials to affect trades. We are not affiliated with the platform in any
way and receive no compensation from them for using their platform. A link will be
provided to the Client allowing them to connect an account(s) to the platform. Once Client
account(s) is connected to the platform, UAK will review the current account allocations.
When deemed necessary, UAK will rebalance the account considering client investment
goals and risk tolerance, and any change in allocations will consider current economic and
market trends. The goal is to improve account performance over time, minimize loss during
difficult markets, and manage internal fees that harm account performance. Client
account(s) will be reviewed at least quarterly, and allocation changes will be made as
deemed necessary.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING
We provide “Basic”, “Premium”, or “Executive” level financial planning services to clients
depending on the size of the assets we directly manage. In a certain situations, this may
result in a much lower fee for clients.

This is a tiered/blended fee schedule, the asset management fee is calculated by applying
different rates to different portions of the portfolio. UAK may group certain related Client
accounts for the purposes of achieving the minimum account size and determining the
annualized fee.
For example (based on quarterly billing period):
Client with $2,500,000 under management would pay $4,250 on a quarterly basis.

The fee schedule shown below is for clients who expect UAK to actively conduct regular
research on mutual funds or stocks in an effort to beat the market or benchmark.
Additionally, for clients who expect UAK to manually rebalance and provide tax loss
harvesting trades on their existing investment portfolio, for Clients who expect us to
continue to periodically research existing mutual fund positions to make recommendations
based on the latest changes to the mutual funds, such as portfolio manager change, increase
in tracking error, MorningStar rating change, will be charged at the following fee schedule.
Also, for clients who expect us to continue to periodically research existing stock positions
for change in earnings potentials and significant revisions in stock's growth prospects, the
below fee schedule applies.

This is a flat fee/breakpoint fee schedule where the entire portfolio is charged the same
asset management fee. For example, a Client with $2,500,000 under management would
pay $5,300 on a quarterly basis. $2,500,000 x 0.212% = $5,300.
The annual fee is negotiable based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of
assets, anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar
amounts of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with
Clients, etc.).
- 4 -
At the discretion of UAK, fees are billed quarterly in advance or arrears based on the
amount of assets managed as of the close of business on the last business day of the
previous quarter. UAK will designate whether the fees are billed in advance or arrears in
the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients may
terminate their account within five (5) business days of signing the Investment Advisory
Agreement with no obligation and without penalty. After the initial five (5) business days,
the agreement may be terminated by UAK with thirty (30) days written notice to Client and
by the Client at any time with written notice to UAK.
For accounts opened or closed mid-billing period, fees will be prorated based on the days
services are provided during the given period. All unpaid earned fees will be due to UAK.
Additionally, all unearned fees will be refunded to the Client. Client shall be given thirty
(30) days prior written notice of any increase in fees. Any increase in fees will be
acknowledged in writing by both parties before any increase in said fees occurs.

The annual fee is negotiable. The Advisory Fee for the initial period will be paid on a pro
rata basis based on the number of days in the billing period for which services under this
Agreement were provided, in arrears, based on the billing period ending value of the
Client’s managed assets, in accordance with the fee schedule listed in the Agreement. For
all future periods, the Advisory Fee will be assessed and payable each billing period, in
advance, based on the balance of Client’s managed assets as of the prior period-end, in
accordance with the fee schedule listed in the Agreement. By executing this Agreement,
Client is authorizing UAK to debit its Advisory Fees directly from one or more of the Client’s
Accounts. The Advisory Fee payable for any Held Away Account will be deducted directly
- 5 -
from another Client Account, and if there are insufficient funds available in another Client
Account or UAK believes that deducting the Advisory Fee from another Client Account
would be prohibited by applicable law, it will invoice the Client.
No fee adjustment will be made for Account deposits and withdrawals during a billing
period.
In addition to the fees paid to UAK, investments used in managing the Account may subject
Client to additional fees. For example, mutual funds, index funds, exchange traded funds
and private funds typically charge ongoing management fees and have other expenses for
the operation of those funds. These fees should not be confused with “loads” or
commissions. UAK does not receive any additional compensation, either directly or
indirectly, from these investments.

cancel within five (5) business days of signing Agreement with no obligation and without
penalty. If the Client cancels after five (5) business days, any unearned fees will be
refunded to the Client, or any unpaid earned fees will be due to UAK. UAK reserves the right
to waive the fee should the Client implement the plan through UAK.

facilitate billing. The Client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment
account.
Fees for financial plans will be billed to the Client and paid directly to UAK.
Additional Client Fees Charged
Custodians may charge brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs
on the purchases or sales of mutual funds, equities, bonds, options and exchange-traded
funds. Mutual funds, money market funds and exchange-traded funds also charge internal
management fees, which are disclosed in the fund’s prospectus. UAK does not receive any
compensation from these fees. All of these fees are in addition to the management fee you
pay to UAK. For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure.
- 6 -
Prepayment of Client Fees
Investment management fees may be billed quarterly in advance.
Fees for financial plans are due upon commencement of the Advisory Agreement.
If the Client cancels after five (5) business days, any unearned fees will be refunded to the
Client, or any unpaid earned fees will be due to UAK.
External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
UAK does not receive any external compensation for the sale of securities to Clients, nor do
any of the investment advisor representatives of UAK.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Sharing of Capital Gains
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed
securities.
UAK does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of interest.
Performance based compensation may create an incentive for UAK to recommend an
investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the Client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
UAK generally provides investment advice to individuals. Client relationships vary in scope
and length of service.
Account Minimums
UAK requires a minimum of $400,000 to open an account. In certain instances, the
minimum account size may be lowered or waived.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis, quantitative analysis, cyclical
analysis and Modern Portfolio Theory. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that
Clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and
expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in
stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that
the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value.
Quantitative analysis (QA) is a technique that seeks to understand behavior by using
mathematical and statistical modeling, measurement, and research. Quantitative analysts
aim to represent a given reality in terms of a numerical value.
QA is employed for several reasons, including measurement, performance evaluation or
valuation of a financial instrument, and predicting real-world events, such as changes in a
country's gross domestic product (GDP). QA is a technique that seeks to understand
behavior by using mathematical and statistical modeling, measurement, and research.
- 7 -
QA is used to analyze investment opportunities, such as when to purchase or sell
securities. Investors perform quantitative analysis when using key financial ratios, such as
the price-earnings ratio (P/E) or earnings per share (EPS), in their investment decision-
making process (e.g., whether to purchasing shares of a company's stock). Quantitative
analysis ranges from the examination of simple statistical data (e.g., revenue) to complex
calculations (e.g., discounted cash flow or option pricing).
Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified,
can be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are twofold: 1) the
markets do not always repeat cyclical patterns; and 2) if too many investors begin to
implement this strategy, then it changes the very cycles these investors are trying to
exploit.
Modern Portfolio Theory is the theory of finance that attempts to maximize portfolio
expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a
given level of expected return, by carefully choosing the proportions of various assets.
In developing a financial plan for a Client, UAK’s analysis may include cash flow analysis,
investment planning, risk management, tax planning and estate planning. Based on the
information gathered, a detailed strategy is tailored to the Client’s specific situation.
The main sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, annual
reports, prospectuses, and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investment Strategy
The investment strategy for a specific Client is based upon the objectives stated by the
Client during consultations. The Client may change these objectives at any time by
providing written notice to UAK. Each Client executes a Client profile form or similar form
that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy.
Other strategies may include long-term purchases.
Security Specific Material Risks
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment
approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment
risks and should discuss these risks with UAK:
• Market Risk: The prices of securities in which Clients invest may decline in response
to certain events taking place around the world, including those directly involving
the companies whose securities are owned by a fund; conditions affecting the
general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or
economic instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.
Investors should have a long-term perspective and be able to tolerate potentially
sharp declines in market value.
•
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become
less attractive, causing their market values to decline.
•
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more
than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
- 8 -
• Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also
referred to as exchange rate risk.
• Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have
to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This
primarily relates to fixed income securities.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties
are not.
• Management Risk: The advisor’s investment approach may fail to produce the
intended results. If the advisor’s assumptions regarding the performance of a
specific asset class or fund are not realized in the expected time frame, the overall
performance of the Client’s portfolio may suffer.
• Equity Risk: Equity securities tend to be more volatile than other investment choices.
The value of an individual mutual fund or ETF can be more volatile than the market
as a whole. This volatility affects the value of the Client’s overall portfolio. Small-
and mid-cap companies are subject to additional risks. Smaller companies may
experience greater volatility, higher failure rates, more limited markets, product
lines, financial resources, and less management experience than larger companies.
lower trading volume, which may
Smaller companies may also have a
disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make them fall more in
response to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies.
• Fixed Income Risk: The issuer of a fixed income security may not be able to make
interest and principal payments when due. Generally, the lower the credit rating of a
security, the greater the risk that the issuer will default on its obligation. If a rating
agency gives a debt security a lower rating, the value of the debt security will
decline because investors will demand a higher rate of return. As nominal interest
rates rise, the value of fixed income securities held by a fund is likely to decrease. A
nominal interest rate is the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate.
•
Investment Companies Risk: When a Client invests in open end mutual funds or ETFs,
the Client indirectly bears their proportionate share of any fees and expenses
payable directly by those funds. Therefore, the Client will incur higher expenses,
which may be duplicative. In addition, the Client’s overall portfolio may be affected
by losses of an underlying fund and the level of risk arising from the investment
practices of an underlying fund (such as the use of derivatives). ETFs are also
subject to the following risks: (i) an ETF’s shares may trade at a market price that is
above or below their net asset value or (ii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted
if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-
listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which
are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally. Adviser has
no control over the risks taken by the underlying funds in which Client invests.
• Foreign Securities Risk: Funds in which Clients invest may invest in foreign
securities. Foreign securities are subject to additional risks not typically associated
with investments in domestic securities. These risks may include, among others,
- 9 -
currency risk, country risks (political, diplomatic, regional conflicts, terrorism, war,
social and economic instability, currency devaluations and policies that have the
effect of limiting or restricting foreign investment or the movement of assets),
different trading practices, less government supervision, less publicly available
information, limited trading markets and greater volatility. To the extent that
underlying funds invest in issuers located in emerging markets, the risk may be
heightened by political changes, changes in taxation, or currency controls that could
adversely affect the values of these investments. Emerging markets have been more
volatile than the markets of developed countries with more mature economies.
• Long-term purchases: Long-term investments are those vehicles purchased with the
intension of being held for more than one year. Typically the expectation of the
investment is to increase in value so that it can eventually be sold for a profit. In
addition, there may be an expectation for the investment to provide income. One of
the biggest risks associated with long-term investments is volatility, the fluctuations
in the financial markets that can cause investments to lose value.
• Trading risk: Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no
assurance that the investment objective of any fund or investment will be achieved.

Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Description
include employees and/or
The affiliated persons (affiliated persons
independent
contractors) of UAK have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our Code
is to set forth standards of conduct expected of UAK affiliated persons and addresses
conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for affiliated persons of UAK
. The Code reflects UAK and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in the best interest
of their Client.
One area which the Code addresses is when affiliated persons buy or sell securities for
their personal accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our Clients. We do
not allow any affiliated persons to use non-public material information for their personal
profit or to use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to
our Clients.
UAK’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non-public or
inside information. No advisory representative or other affiliated person, officer or director
of UAK may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory Clients or
engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory
representative possesses material, non-public information regarding the security.
UAK’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the Client are our top
priority. UAK’s officers, directors, advisors, and other affiliated persons have a fiduciary
duty to our Clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust
and confidence of our Clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the Client’s
interests over the interests of either affiliated persons or the company.
The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are affiliated persons who have
access to non-public information regarding any Clients' purchase or sale of securities, or
non-public information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, who are
involved in making securities recommendations to Clients, or who have access to such
recommendations that are non-public.
UAK will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon
request.
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of
Interest
UAK and its affiliated persons do not recommend to Clients securities in which we have a
material financial interest.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of
Interest
UAK and its affiliated persons may buy or sell securities that are also held by Clients. In
order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as trading ahead of Client transactions, affiliated
persons are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide
UAK with copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of UAK is Ujae Kang. He reviews all trades of the affiliated
persons each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of
- 11 -
affiliated persons does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive
preferential treatment over associated persons’ transactions.
Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm
Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest
UAK does not maintain a firm proprietary trading account and does not have a material
financial interest in any securities being recommended and therefore no conflicts of
interest exist. However, affiliated persons may buy or sell securities at the same time they
buy or sell securities for Clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front
running, affiliated persons are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as
well as provide UAK with copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of UAK is Ujae Kang. He reviews all trades of the affiliated
persons each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of
affiliated persons does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive
preferential treatment over associated persons’ transactions.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
UAK recommends that Clients establish brokerage accounts with the Schwab Advisor
Services division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.1 ("Schwab"), a FINRA2 registered broker-
dealer and SIPC3 member, to maintain custody of Clients’ assets and to effect trades for
their accounts. UAK is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab.
UAK has evaluated Schwab and believes that it will provide our Clients with a blend of
execution services, commission costs and professionalism that will assist our firm in
meeting our fiduciary obligations to Clients.
Schwab provides UAK with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which
are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available
to independent investment advisers on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as
a total of at least $10 million of the adviser’s Clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at
Charles Schwab & Co. These services are not contingent upon our firm committing to
Schwab any specific amount of business (assets in custody or trading commissions).
Schwab’s brokerage services include the execution of securities transactions, custody,
research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally
available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum
initial investment.
For our Client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge
separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through
commissions and other transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that
are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts.
Charles Schwab & Co. also makes available to UAK other products and services that benefit
UAK but may not directly benefit our Clients’ accounts. Many of these products and services

more information, please refer to FINRA’s website: http://www.finra.org/.
3 For information regarding SIPC, please refer to their website: http://www.sipc.org/.
- 12 -
may be used to service all or some substantial number of our Client accounts, including
accounts not maintained at Schwab.
Schwab’s products and services that assist UAK in managing and administering our Clients’
accounts include software and other technology that:
• provide access to Client account data (such as trade confirmations and account
•
statements);
facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple Client
accounts;
facilitate payment of our fees from Clients’ accounts; and
• provide research, pricing and other market data;
•
• assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and Client reporting.
Charles Schwab & Co. also offers other services intended to help us manage and further
develop our business enterprise. These services may include:
• compliance, legal and business consulting;
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
• access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance
providers.
Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay third-party vendors for the types of
services rendered to UAK. Charles Schwab & Co. may discount or waive fees it would
otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party
providing these services to our firm. Charles Schwab & Co. may also provide other benefits
such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of our personnel. In
evaluating whether to recommend or require that Clients custody their assets at Schwab,
we may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products and services
and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors we consider and not solely on the
nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which may
create a potential conflict of interest.
UAK reserves the right to decline acceptance of any Client account for which the Client
directs the use of a broker other than Schwab if we believe that this choice would hinder
our fiduciary duty to the Client and/or our ability to service the account. In directing the
use of Schwab (or any other broker), it should be understood that UAK will not have
authority to negotiate commissions or to necessarily obtain volume discounts, and best
execution may not be achieved. In addition, a disparity in commission charges may exist
between the commissions charged to the Client and those charged to other Clients (who
may direct the use of another broker other than Schwab). Clients should note that, while
UAK has a reasonable belief that Schwab is able to obtain best execution and competitive
prices, our firm will not independently seek best execution price capability through other
brokers.
• Directed Brokerage
In circumstances where a Client directs UAK to use a certain broker-dealer, UAK still
has a fiduciary duty to its Clients. The following may apply with Directed Brokerage:
UAK's inability to negotiate commissions, to obtain volume discounts, there may be
a disparity in commission charges among Clients and conflicts of interest arising
- 13 -
from brokerage firm referrals. The firm may be unable to achieve most favorable
execution of client transactions, and this practice may cost clients more money.
• Brokerage for Client Referrals
UAK does not receive client referrals from any custodian or third party in exchange
for using that broker-dealer or third party.
• Best Execution
Investment advisors who manage or supervise Client portfolios have a fiduciary
obligation of best execution. The determination of what may constitute best
execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves
a number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage selection
include the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with
which the transaction is effected, the ability to affect the transaction where a large
block is involved, the operational facilities of the broker-dealer, the value of an
ongoing relationship with such broker and the financial strength and stability of the
broker. UAK does not receive any portion of the trading fees.
• Soft Dollar Arrangements
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as
arrangement under which products or services other than execution services are
obtained by UAK from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing Client
transactions to the broker-dealer. As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, UAK receives economic benefits as a result of commissions
generated from securities transactions by the broker-dealer from the accounts of
UAK. These benefits include both proprietary research from the broker and other
research written by third parties.
A conflict of interest exists when UAK receives soft dollars. This conflict is mitigated
by the fact that UAK has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of its
Clients and the services received are beneficial to all Clients.
UAK utilizes the services of custodial broker dealers. Economic benefits are received
by UAK which would not be received if UAK did not give investment advice to
Clients. These benefits include: A dedicated trading desk, a dedicated service group
and an account services manager dedicated to UAK's accounts, ability to conduct
"block" Client trades, electronic download of trades, balances and positions,
duplicate and batched Client statements, and the ability to have advisory fees
directly deducted from Client accounts.
Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts
UAK manages each account separately, and therefore, does not aggregate purchases and
sales and other transactions. If orders are not aggregated, some clients purchasing
securities around the same time may receive a less favorable price than other clients which
may cost clients more money.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory
Persons Involved
Account reviews are performed quarterly by the Chief Compliance Officer of UAK. Account
reviews are performed more frequently when market conditions dictate. Reviews of Client
- 14 -
accounts include, but are not limited to, a review of Client documented risk tolerance,
adherence to account objectives, investment time horizon, and suitability criteria,
reviewing target bans of each asset class to identify if there is an opportunity for
rebalancing, and reviewing accounts for tax loss harvesting opportunities.
Financial plans generated are updated as requested by the Client and pursuant to a new or
amended agreement, UAK suggests updating at least annually.
Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis
Other conditions that may trigger a review of Clients’ accounts are changes in the tax laws,
new investment information, and changes in a Client's own situation.
Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency
Clients receive written account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts.
Account statements are issued by UAK’s custodian. Client receives confirmations of each
transaction in account from Custodian and an additional statement during any month in
which a transaction occurs.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts
of Interest
As disclosed under Item 12 above, UAK receives an economic benefit from Schwab in the
form of the support products and services it makes available to UAK and other independent
investment advisors that have their Clients maintain accounts at Schwab. These products
and services, how they benefit UAK, and the related conflicts of interest are described
above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices). The availability to UAK of Schwab’s products
and services is not based on UAK giving particular investment advice, such as buying
particular securities for our Clients.
Products & Services Available to Us from Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services (formerly called Schwab Institutional) is Schwab’s business
serving independent investment advisory firms like ours. They provide us and our clients
with access to its institutional brokerage – trading, custody, reporting and related services
– many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes
available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer
our clients’ accounts while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s
support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis and at no charge.
Services that Benefit Client
Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment
products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment
products available through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have
access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our
clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit clients or their
account(s).
Services that May Not Directly Benefit Clients
Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not
directly benefit the client or their account(s). These products and services assist us in
managing and administering our clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both
Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may use this research to service all or some
- 15 -
substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab.
In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other
technology that:
• provides access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and
•
account statements);
facilitates trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client
accounts;
facilitates payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and
• provides pricing and other market data;
•
• assists with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our
business enterprise. These services include:
technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting;
• educational conferences and events
•
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
• access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance
providers.
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-
party vendors to provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for
some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees.
Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals
UAK may, from time to time, enter into agreements with individuals and organizations
(“referring party”) that refer Clients to UAK in exchange for compensation. This activity will
either be considered an endorsement or testimonial, depending on if the referring party is
a Client of UAK. For all Clients introduced by a referring party, UAK may pay that referring
party a fee pursuant to a previously executed agreement. While the specific terms of each
agreement may differ, the compensation will be based upon UAK’s engagement of new
Clients and is calculated using a fixed fee, or a varying percentage of the fees paid to UAK by
such Clients. Any such fee shall be paid solely from UAK’s investment management fee and
shall not result in any additional charge to the Client. UAK ensures that referring parties are
registered with all appropriate jurisdictions or exempt from registration as investment
advisers or investment adviser representatives.
Each referred Client to UAK under such an arrangement will receive a copy of this brochure
and a written disclosure clearly and prominently disclosing if the referring party is a
current Client or investor, the compensation that will be paid by UAK to the referring party
and any material conflicts of interest. The referring party is required provide this
disclosure at the time the endorsement or testimonial is disseminated and will obtain the
Client’s signature acknowledging receipt of UAK’s disclosure brochure and the written
disclosure.
Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to Clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are urged
- 16 -
to compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to any
documentation or reports prepared by UAK.
UAK is deemed to have limited custody solely because advisory fees are directly deducted
from Client’s accounts by the custodian on behalf of UAK.
UAK is also deemed to have limited custody due to its Third-Party Standing Letters of
Authorization (“SLOA”).
UAK and its qualified custodian meet the following seven (7) conditions in order to avoid
maintaining full custody and be subject to the surprise exam requirement:
1. The Client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes
the Client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or
the third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be
directed.
2. The Client authorizes UAK, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or
separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or
from time to time.
3. The Client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction,
such as a signature review or other method to verify the Client’s authorization and
provides a transfer of funds notice to the Client promptly after each transfer.
4. The Client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the Client’s
qualified custodian.
5. UAK has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party,
the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the Client’s
instruction.
6. UAK maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party nor located
at the same address as UAK.
7. The Client’s qualified custodian sends the Client, in writing, an initial notice
confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
UAK requires discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of Clients.
UAK has the authority to determine, without obtaining specific Client consent, the
securities to be bought or sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold.
UAK allows Client’s to place certain restrictions, as outlined in the Client’s Investment
Policy Statement or similar document. Such restrictions could include only allowing
purchases of socially conscious investments. These restrictions must be provided to UAK in
writing.
The Client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the
custodian. UAK does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid by
the Client to the custodian.
- 17 -
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
UAK does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies. The
Client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a
transfer agent.
When assistance on voting proxies is requested, UAK will provide recommendations to the
Client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to the Client.
Item 18: Financial Information
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is not required to be provided because UAK does not serve as a custodian
for Client funds or securities and UAK does not require prepayment of fees of more than
$1,200 per Client and six months or more in advance.
Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet
Commitments to Clients
UAK has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual
commitments to our Clients.
Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years
UAK has not had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years.

Professional Certifications
Sarah Kang has earned certifications and credentials that are required to be explained in
further detail.
The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP (with flame
design) marks (collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification marks granted
in the United States by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation
requires financial planners to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United States
and a number of other countries for its (1) high standard of professional education; (2)
stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical requirements that
govern professional engagements with Clients.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the
following requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the
financial planning subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as
necessary for the competent and professional delivery of financial planning services,
and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally accredited United States college or
university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP Board’s financial
