Item 4 | Advisory Business
WHO WE ARE
Vise is a Delaware limited liability company, registered with the SEC, that operates an investment advisory business that
uses proprietary algorithms and other technological means for the provision of investment advisory services to other
investment advisors and their individual Clients. Vise is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vise Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation. Vise has been in the investment advisory business since July 2019.
Vise’s mission is to enable financial advisors (“Intermediaries”) to deliver better investment outcomes to their Clients
while scaling their practice to their maximum potential.
WHAT WE DO
Vise provides various services to financial institutions, high net worth and ultra high net worth investors, and other
entities. Each of these services is described in more detail below and collectively are referred to as “Services” throughout
this Brochure.
A.
Intermediary Services
Vise offers investment advisory services to individual investors (“Clients”) through a sub advisory relationship with
third-party registered investment advisors; and broker dealers (each an “Intermediary” and collectively, “Intermediaries”).
The clients of Vise are Intermediaries that wish to have their Clients’ assets invested through the Vise platform.
Vise employs automated asset allocation, portfolio analysis, tax management, portfolio rebalancing, and security
selection strategies to Intermediaries (the “Intermediary Service”). The Intermediary Service is available to both taxable
advisory accounts and tax advantaged accounts not limited to individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) and Roth IRAs
(“Managed Accounts”). For certain strategies, Vise may rely on a sub-advisor. See Item 8 below for more information
about these strategies.
As part of the Intermediary Service, Intermediaries are granted access to Vise’s secure website as a tool to monitor and
manage Client assets. The Intermediary will use Vise’s interactive, online platform to create and manage a desired
investment strategy (the “Strategy”) for their underlying Clients. Among other features, Vise’s platform allows
Intermediaries to customize how much exposure to take with respect to specific factors such as value, dividend, size,
and profitability for each Client account.
For taxable accounts in Intermediary Services and IMA Services, Vise offers a Tax-Loss Harvesting (“TLH”) strategy. This
strategy is used to defer and offset taxes while maintaining a similar risk and return profile for the portfolio. Vise identifies
unrealized losses in the account, accelerating realization of the capital loss and then invests in securities to maintain a
similar exposure in the portfolio. The realized capital loss offsets any realized gains in the account, by deferring tax
liability. Another tax management functionality that Vise offers is capital gains budgeting. The feature allows
Intermediaries to choose a custom budget depending on the Client's tax sensitivity (subject to platform limitations). The
Intermediary has the ability to modify this for any Client at any time. If the Intermediary chooses not to implement the
TLH strategy, Clients with taxable accounts may incur additional taxes in connection with capital gains on the account.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 4
Vise bases its advice on Client investment objectives, restrictions, and preferences, as provided by Intermediaries and in
accordance with the applicable Platform and Subadvisory Agreement (collectively, the “Governing Documents”).
Intermediaries’ Clients generally do not have direct access to the Vise platform and their assets are managed on Vise
exclusively through the Intermediary.
In performing Intermediary Services, Vise is not required to verify any information received from the Intermediary or from
the Intermediary’s other professionals and is expressly authorized to rely on the information we receive. Moreover, each
Intermediary is advised that it remains its responsibility to update the pertinent client information platform promptly if
there is ever any change in its Client’s financial situation or investment objectives. Vise relies on the Intermediary to
ensure we have this information so that we can review, evaluate and, if necessary, revise our previous recommendations
or services.
At all times, the Intermediary, and not Vise, is responsible for maintaining the initial and ongoing relationship with the
Client. In addition, the Intermediary, and not Vise, is responsible for: (1) determining the initial and ongoing suitability of a
Strategy for the Client; (2) devising or determining the specific initial and ongoing desired Strategy; (3) monitoring
performance of the Strategy; (4) modifying and/or terminating the management of the Client’s account using the
Strategy; and (5) approval of the Strategy and recommendations.
An Intermediary should notify Vise of specific securities in which the Client is prohibited from investing. When instructed
not to purchase certain securities, Vise will restrict that security from the Client’s investable universe. The Intermediary
should notify Vise immediately if they consider any investments recommended or made for the Client account to violate
such restrictions. An Intermediary can instruct Vise at any time to restrict or remove a restriction from a security from the
Client's investable universe.
B.
Individually Managed Account Services
Vise also offers investment advisory services to high net worth and ultra-high net worth individual investors (“Individual
Investors”) who wish to open a direct account at Vise (the “IMA Services”). In this capacity, Vise collaborates with
Individual Investors to design and implement customized solutions through the application of equity, fixed income,
alternatives, and derivative programs. Individual Investors may impose reasonable restrictions on investments in
securities or types of securities and set additional investment guidelines as they deem necessary.
Vise receives discretionary authority from Individual Investors during the onset of the advisory relationship to select the
identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. Such discretion is exercised in a manner consistent with the
stated investment objectives for the particular investment account. Investment guidelines and restrictions must be
provided to Vise in writing (or through Vise technology platforms). All advisory fee schedules are negotiable and vary by
investment strategy, product type, account size, customization requirements, and required service levels.
Vise does not determine suitability on behalf of Individual Investors. It is the responsibility of an Individual Investor (or
their staff, advisor, or consultant) to evaluate the Individual Investor’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial
standing, and to determine whether a Vise strategy and the associated investment guidelines are suitable. Prior to
receiving services, Individual Investors enter into an Investment Management Agreement (“the IMA”) with Vise, which
governs the scope of the advisory relationship, the strategies to be employed, fee arrangements, and any applicable
investment guidelines or restrictions.

C. Private Fund Investments
From time to time, Vise may facilitate or manage investments through pooled investment vehicles (“Private Funds”
formed for the purpose of making an investment in a private company. For example, Vise SpaceX GP I, LLC—an affiliate
of Vise—was formed to serve as the manager of VISE SPACEX SPV I, LLC, which was formed to invest indirectly in the
securities of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (“SpaceX”). Vise serves as the Management Company to the
Private Fund and provides certain investment and operational duties on behalf of the Private Fund. These Private Funds
are structured as one-time, closed-end investment vehicles. Following the closing of the investment, Vise’s role is
generally limited to monitoring the investment and performing administrative functions. Investments through Private
Funds are typically illiquid, long-term, and non-redeemable, and are offered only to investors who meet applicable
eligibility requirements.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of April 30, 2026, Vise managed approximately $8,526,312,187 in assets on a discretionary basis and approximately
$84,663,657,292 in assets on an advisory basis, and collectively managed or advised on approximately $93,189,969,479
in platform assets. Platform assets include assets in which Vise has discretion and assets in which Vise provides
Enterprise Advisory Services (defined below).

Intermediary Services
For providing Intermediary Services, Vise charges an asset-based fee (“Subadviser Fee”), the terms of which are set forth
in Governing Documents. The Subadviser Fee is generally assessed as an annualized percentage of assets under
management, per the table below.

objectives, tax considerations, and restrictions.
Strategy Services – Factor Strategies

rebalanced and may be customized for client objectives, tax
considerations, and restrictions.
Strategy Services – Fixed Income

Custodians or broker-dealers may, from time to time, (i) impose minimum account size requirements for certain
Strategies, including the Vise Long Short Strategy, and/or (ii) prohibit, restrict, or otherwise limit the Services or
Strategies that Vise or the Intermediary may offer to Clients. Intermediary shall be solely responsible for evaluating,
monitoring, and addressing any such custodial limitations or restrictions applicable to its Clients or Managed Accounts,
including determining whether a particular Service or Strategy remains appropriate or available for a Client.
In certain circumstances, Vise may enter into agreements with third-party asset managers or other similar institutions
whereby Vise's advisory fees are paid directly by the asset manager or similar institution rather than by the end client.
Under this structure, the client does not pay Vise's management fee directly; instead, the asset manager or similar
institution compensates Vise for services rendered in connection with the client relationship. The annual fee for such
agreements is generally 0.06%. Vise may, in its sole discretion, charge a fee that differs from its’ standard fee.
The Subadviser Fee is generally paid quarterly in advance or arrears, as agreed upon with the Intermediary, based on
assets under management and according to Vise’s billing methodology, beginning on the date of Vise’s first proposal
acceptance. If billed quarterly in advance, the Subadviser Fee will be determined by prorating the annual rate and
multiplying it by the aggregate value of Managed Accounts using the market value on the last trading day of the prior
quarterly period. If billed quarterly in arrears, the Subadviser Fee will be determined by prorating the annual rate and
multiplying it by the ending market value of the Managed Accounts during each day of the prior quarterly period. If the
Subadviser is appointed for any Managed Accounts at a time other than a quarter-end, the Subadviser Fee shall be billed
in arrears using the ending market value of the Managed Accounts during each day of the prior quarterly quarter. The
Subadviser Fee is calculated based on the Strategy selected by the Intermediary or the Client.
There are instances where Vise may temporarily pause actively managing a Client’s Managed Account. This may include
(but is not limited to) instances when the Intermediary requests that Vise pause its management or when Vise is unable
to reconcile account information from a Client’s Managed Account custodian. Vise will continue to assess fees on the
Client’s Managed Account while Vises management is temporarily paused.
Vise, in its discretion, may negotiate investment advisory fees based upon certain criteria (e.g., anticipated future earning
capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account
composition, negotiations with the Intermediary). As a result, similarly situated Intermediaries could pay fees that differ
from those charged to other Intermediaries. Vise may work with intermediaries to develop and manage custom strategies
with unique pricing that will be determined of a case-by-case basis, with consideration of the above criteria.
From time to time, Vise will offer promotions in the form of Subadviser Fee waivers or discounts where Clients can
receive a reduced Subadviser Fee for a period of time. Such promotions may run indefinitely or for a limited period of
time. Vise may also offer discounted pricing to Intermediaries paying the Subadviser Fee on behalf of the Client or
provide uniform reductions to the Clients of Intermediaries where an Intermediary’s Client assets under management
exceed certain thresholds. The Subadviser Fee is generally paid quarterly, in advance or in arrears, and may be either
invoiced to the Intermediary or directly to the Client’s account. Vise can also customize its Intermediary Service for large
investment advisers, broker-dealers, and potentially other financial institutions (the “Enterprise Advisory Services”). Some
Enterprise Advisory Services may not involve Vise rendering investment advice. Vise negotiates the fees for these
services with each enterprise client.

IMA Services Fees
For providing IMA Services, Vise generally charges the same asset-based advisory fee as it does for when rendering
Intermediary Services, but the final fee agreed upon between Vise and the investor is set forth in the applicable
Investment Management Agreement.
3. Private fund Investment Fees
With respect to any Private Fund or other pooled investment vehicle managed by Vise or its affiliates, investors may be
required to pay management fees, capital contributions intended to cover management or operational expenses,
performance-based compensation (including carried interest or incentive allocations), and/or other fees and expenses in
connection with their investment. In addition, the Private Fund and its investors may bear certain organizational
expenses, legal fees, administrative costs, accounting expenses, third-party service provider costs, and other expenses
incurred in connection with the formation, operation, and administration of the Private Fund. Such fees and expenses are
generally borne by the Private Fund and therefore indirectly by its investors. Investors should review the applicable
offering and governing documents for a complete description of the applicable fees, expenses, and compensation
arrangements.
4. Additional Information Concerning Fees
EXPENSE RATIOS
Vise may include in Client accounts commingled vehicles such as exchange traded funds or mutual funds (collectively,
“Funds”) (at the request of the Intermediary) alongside individual securities (e.g., stocks), as part of a Client's overall
account allocation. In addition to Subadviser Fees, each Client will incur expenses charged by the Funds held in their
account, such as management fees and other expenses, which are separate from Vise’s fees. These Fund expenses will
impact the Client’s investment performance.
OTHER FEES AND EXPENSES
Each Client will incur brokerage costs and other costs pursuant to the terms of their custodial and brokerage agreements
in connection with Vise’s Services. Custodians can charge separate custody fees and transaction fees on purchases or
sales of securities and exchange traded funds recommended by Vise. In addition, Clients may be charged “transfer out”
fees by brokers when transferring their accounts from such brokers. Such fees are charged by the custodian, paid at the
time of the transaction and represent an additional expense to the Client. Except for when Vise provides IMA Services or
when Vise or an affiliate serves as a sponsor or manager of a Private Fund, Vise is not responsible with the establishment
or negotiation of a broker-dealer or custodian’s fees. In addition, Vise does not receive any remuneration from any
broker-dealers or custodians that charge the Clients exit or “transfer out” fees. Please see Item 12 (“Brokerage
Practices”) of this Brochure for a further discussion of Vise’s brokerage practices.
Vise can pay a referral fee to promoters as described under the Item 14 (“Intermediary Referrals and Other
Compensation”). Intermediaries or Clients referred to Vise through these promoters do not pay higher fees as a result.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 9
As described above in Item 4, Vise may rely on a sub-advisor in implementing certain Strategies. Vise (and not the
Intermediary or Client) will be responsible for the fees associated with engaging the sub-advisor. Intermediaries and
Clients are responsible for the selection of a Strategy and Vise does not believe that this arrangement creates a material
conflict of interest. Clients will continue to incur brokerage costs and other costs described above.
ACCOUNT TERMINATION
Vise may terminate an Intermediary’s and/or Client’s access to a Service if it believes the Intermediary or Client is in
breach of the Governing Document or other agreements with the Intermediary or Client. Either party can generally
terminate their agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice. Notice from the Adviser to Subadviser shall be sent to
clientservice@vise.com. The Subadviser will notify the Adviser through either written notice or email provided to the
Adviser’s email of record. Vise may also terminate a Client’s or Intermediary’s access to a Service in Vise’s sole
discretion and without cause. If Vise or a Client terminates access to a Service, Vise will remit a pro-rated refund for the
unused portion of the Subadviser Fee to each Client or Intermediary whose access to the Service is terminated. If Vise
loses the ability to collect a Subadviser Fee in arrears from a Client’s account as a result of the termination, Vise reserves
the right to invoice the Intermediary directly for any balance owed by the Client.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 10
Item 6 | Performance-Based Compensation and Side-By-Side Management
With the exception of the carried interest that Vise or an affiliate may receive in connection with Private Fund
investments, as described in Item 5 above, Vise does not charge performance-based advisory fees or receive incentive
allocations. Vise’s Subadviser Fee is based on a fixed percentage of assets under management (with or without
discounts or promotions).
Vise or a Vise affiliate may manage accounts that are charged a performance-based fee and accounts that are charged
another type of fee, such as an asset-based fee. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest in that Vise, its
affiliates, and their respective supervised persons have an incentive to favor accounts for which they stand to receive a
performance-based fee. The Private Fund has a markedly different investment strategy and objective than other
accounts that Vise manages. In addition, the Private Fund does not have an active investment program. Therefore, we
seek to mitigate these potential conflicts of interest through policies and procedures that generally require investment
decisions made in accordance with the fiduciary duties owed to each account and without consideration of Vise's (or its
personnel) pecuniary, investment, or other financial interests.
Vise’s investment management platform manages multiple Client accounts across multiple Intermediaries. Investment
decisions are made independently across accounts through a systematic and automated portfolio management process.
This may result in buying securities in some accounts and selling the same securities in other investment accounts. Vise
has implemented procedures to reduce conflicts of interests related to Side-by-Side Management of accounts, such as
blocking trades in the execution process.
Item 7 | Types of Customers
Vise offers Services to Clients through Intermediaries, as described above. Vise also offers IMA Services to high net
worth and ultra-high net worth individual investors. Vise will manage certain agreed upon assets of these investors
according to various investment strategies that Vise may employ. In addition, from time to time, Vise may offer or
facilitate investments through Private Funds to investors who meet applicable eligibility requirements, which may include
requirements that such investors be “accredited investors” as defined under applicable securities laws. Investments
through Private Funds are generally available only to investors who satisfy these eligibility requirements and are
sophisticated enough to evaluate the risks associated with illiquid, long-term, private investments. Please see Item 4
above for additional information regarding Private Fund investments.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC

Item 8 | Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND INVESTMENT METHODS
Vise Managed Investment Strategies
Vise uses proprietary, automated, computer algorithms to implement the investment models, asset allocation, asset
classes, list of eligible securities, and model parameters selected by the Intermediary. Vise uses a factor-based
investment methodology that takes stock specific metrics from financial statements, financial market data, and other
sources and combines them into a score for each security. This score is a proxy for higher or lower expected returns.
Portfolios’ active exposure to these scores relative to a market cap weighting may be based on the Clients’ preference as
expressed through their selections on the Vise platform Portfolios primarily use individual US exchange-listed securities,
with ETFs used to provide access to peripheral asset classes (some non-US-traded securities, fixed income, etc.) or to
round out sector allocations as required based on the portfolio account balance. As market changes or major changes
within individual companies are identified, the portfolio management system updates the portfolios accordingly. The
system makes tradeoffs between target allocations/risk profiles, taxes, and trading costs in order to manage accounts for
its Clients.
In rendering Intermediary Services, Vise primarily offers investment recommendations on the following types of securities
or securities-linked investments: equities, commodities, fixed income, and real estate, the exposure of which is obtained
through investments and trading in single securities, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”),
and securities issued by real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Using these types of securities and vehicles, Vise
provides exposure to U.S., developed, and emerging markets. Vise will also allocate to cash and cash equivalents
(including Money Market Funds) where appropriate.
Vise’s selection criteria of asset classes are based on the following: historical performance throughout different economic
scenarios, correlation with other asset classes in Vise’s investable universe, cost and tax efficiency, and susceptibility to
inflation. Asset classes are categorized into five broad categories, each of which can be either domestic or international:
equities, fixed income, commodities, cash equivalent assets, and real estate.
After acceptance of the initial trade recommendations and portfolio parameters, Vise will assume full investment
discretion, and further rebalancing decisions will not be presented to the Intermediary.
Prior to making changes to a Client portfolio, Vise may consider the impact of capital gains exposure, harvested losses,
or exposure to higher risk and returns. A criterion may also be given a priority based on settings placed by the
Intermediary during the process of creating the Client or portfolio profile. Vise will use the discretionary authority
provided to submit orders directly to custodians or brokers.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 12
INTERVENTION AND OVERSIGHT OF ALGORITHM OUTPUTS
During the oversight and portfolio review process, Vise reserves the right to use its investment discretion to alter or
change the algorithm proposed trades. In certain circumstances, Vise may use manual intervention to amend the
quantity and/or securities suggested to be traded by the algorithm in order to further manage investment outcomes
including, but not limited to, turnover, tax outcomes, cash level, or specific Intermediary requests. Vise may amend
Intermediary-initiated trades to further align with the Client’s goals, reduce turnover, reduce potential adverse tax
outcomes, and cash target optimization.
Vise monitors accounts for deviation or drift in asset classes, individual securities, cash levels, and/or risk using
computer software as well as utilizing human oversight.
UNRECOGNIZED POSITIONS
Vise may inherit discretion over securities from externally managed portfolios during account initialization that are not
part of its investment model and/or are unrecognizable. Within capital gains limits specified by the Intermediary, Vise
reserves the right to sell out of these securities in order to transition the Client toward the allocation defined by the
Client’s Intermediary.
Sub-Advised Investment Strategies
Certain Strategies offered by Vise on the platform have been developed and are managed by unaffiliated investment
advisers. The Vise platform will identify those strategies that are managed by unaffiliated investment advisers and
Intermediaries should review the Form ADV Part 2A for these investment advisers to learn more about their investment
methodology, methods of analysis, and risks associated with their investment strategies.
POTENTIAL RISK FACTORS - OVERVIEW
The operating results, financial condition, activities, and prospects of an investment by Vise on behalf of Clients could be
materially adversely affected by changes or instability in market, economic, political, technological, regulatory, and social
conditions, and by numerous other factors outside the control of Vise.
In addition, Vise’s investment strategies and/or investments are likely to be exposed to risks relating to weaknesses in
various global economies and risks relating to the economic cycle. Numerous factors affecting the performance of Vise’s
investment strategies, such as market volatility, interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices, currency prices, credit
spreads, and deflationary and inflationary pressures, are affected by the economic cycle and long-term economic trends.
Predictions about financial market conditions and economic factors are highly uncertain, and the presence, duration, and
impact of any market or economic conditions could have a materially adverse effect on Vise’s investment strategies.
Premiums that Vise uses to invest including, but not limited to, value, profitability, and growth are not guaranteed to be
positive over any particular horizon and may be exposed to drawdown risk.
Vise may choose not to attempt to, or be unable to, hedge the risk exposures outlined in this Brochure, and there can be
no assurance that any hedging attempted by Vise would reduce applicable risks.

The global COVID pandemic that began in 2020 was a significant disruption in the global financial markets, the scope
and severity of which were without precedent in recent financial history. Market disruptions such as this have had
materially adverse, and in certain cases catastrophic consequences for certain types of investments, including the types
of investments Vise’s Clients may pursue. Similar or dissimilar market disruptions may occur in the future, and the
duration, severity, and ultimate effect of such disruptions are difficult to forecast. These disruptions may lead to
additional regulations or laws, which could have a material adverse effect on Vise and its Clients. In the event of a
serious market disruption, Vise may, pursuant to policies and procedures it has established, delay or suspend order
submissions in respect of Client accounts. Such trading delays or suspensions may result in increased tracking error,
lower returns and/or an inability of Vise to implement portfolio strategies such as tax-loss harvesting and rebalances.
The method of analysis and techniques employed by Vise are based on the information and data available to it as well as
on its assumptions, assessments, and estimates, all of which are subject to error. As a result, such methods of analysis
and techniques may not account for all relevant factors or may not account for any such factors correctly. More
generally, there can be no assurance that such models and techniques would be effective. Further, Client portfolios may
be exposed to frequent rebalancing based on market conditions, Client needs and other factors not accounted for by
Vise. Vise algorithms may not perform as intended for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to incorrect
assumptions, changes in the market, and/or changes to data inputs. Periodically Vise may change or modify these
algorithms, system code or underlying assumptions, and these changes may have unintended consequences. Vise
conducts testing designed to ensure that our algorithms continue to function as intended when new code is introduced
and existing code is updated. Although such testing is intended to ensure that code changes do not create unintended
consequences, Clients should understand that testing, no matter how comprehensive, cannot guarantee the absence of

Vise does not make any assurance that its recommendations will result in profitable investing or avoidance of loss.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that Clients should understand and be prepared to bear. Vise makes no
guarantee or representation that its investment recommendations will be successful. Investment performance can never
be predicted or guaranteed, and the value of each Client’s account will fluctuate due to market conditions and other
factors. Past performance, and performance from back-testing and simulations, is no guarantee of future results.
RELIANCE ON CLIENT INFORMATION
The recommendations provided by Vise are not intended to comprise the Client’s complete investment program in cases
where Vise does not manage the Client’s complete investment portfolio, including assets held in employer retirement
plans, which are subject to ERISA, and other accounts that the Client has not aggregated for Vise’s discretionary
advisory services.
Vise’s recommendations are highly reliant on the accuracy of the information provided to Vise by Intermediaries, Clients
and their custodians. If an Intermediary were to provide Vise with inaccurate Client information, this could materially
impact the quality and applicability of Vise’s recommendations. In addition, Vise’s recommendations are limited in scope
to the questions Vise asks through Vise’s website and the information that Intermediaries provide on their Clients’ behalf.
There may be additional information or other financial circumstances not considered by Vise based on the questions
asked at the time a Client establishes their investment goals that would inform the investment advice and
recommendations provided by Vise. Clients are invited to call their Intermediary to discuss any such additional
information or other financial circumstances that a Client believes may be relevant to the advice provided by Vise.

COMMODITY AND SECURITY RISK
Vise may recommend investments in commodities linked securities (e.g., single securities, commodity-based ETFs and
ETNs). Negative changes in a commodity market could have an adverse impact on the value of commodity-linked
investments including companies that are susceptible to fluctuations in commodity markets. The value and/or liquidity of
commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, taxation, terrorism,
nationalization or expropriation, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular
industry or commodity, such as, weather (e.g., drought, flooding), livestock disease, embargoes, international trade,
tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The prices of sector commodities (e.g., energy,
metals, agriculture and livestock) may fluctuate widely due to factors such as changes in value, supply and demand and
governmental regulatory policies.
CREDIT RISK
Clients are exposed to the risk that financial intermediaries or security issuers may experience adverse economic
consequences that may include impaired credit ratings, default, bankruptcy, or insolvency, any of which may affect
portfolio values or management. This risk applies to assets on deposit with any broker-dealer, notwithstanding asset
segregation and insurance requirements that are beneficial to broker-dealer Clients generally. In addition, exchange
trading venues or trade settlement and clearing intermediaries could experience adverse events that may temporarily or
permanently limit trading or adversely affect the value of Client securities. Finally, any issuer of securities may experience
a credit event that could impair or erase the value of the issuer’s securities held by a Client. Certain funds and products
may involve higher issuer credit risk because they are not structured as a registered fund.
CURRENCY RISK
Certain segments of the strategies deployed by Vise may maintain material unhedged exposure, whether intentional or
unintentional, to various market movements, and other sources of risk, whether known or unknown. Currency risk is
implicit in Vise’s exposure to, without limitation, foreign bonds, foreign real estate, and foreign equity investments. Such
sources of risk may include changes in current or future levels and/or volatility of interest rates, currency prices,
commodity prices, sovereign credit spreads, corporate credit spreads, and equity and other markets, as well as
correlations between any such risks. There can be no assurance that an investment of a portfolio managed by Vise
would improve the risk/return profile of any Client’s overall portfolio or otherwise improve the performance of such
portfolio, and such an investment may in fact result in material losses.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 15
DEBT MARKET CONDITIONS
Vise may recommend investments in fixed-rate securities of varying maturities, including bonds or debentures issued by
corporations, government agencies, and government-sponsored entities. In recent years, disruptions in debt markets
have affected the price of, as well as Clients’ ability to make, certain types of investments, and there can be no
assurance that these disruptions will not reoccur in the future. Any such disruptions may negatively affect a wide range
of issuers and may increase the likelihood that such issuers will be unable to make principal and interest payments on, or
refinance, outstanding debt when due. Moreover, the risk that such disruptions will affect an issuer’s ability to pay its
debts and obligations when due is enhanced if such issuer in turn provides credit to third parties or otherwise
participates in the credit markets. In the event of a default by an issuer, Clients could lose both capital invested in, and
anticipated profits from, any affected investment. The reoccurrence of the events described in this paragraph, or other
similar or dissimilar events, could have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally and may
lead to an overall weakening of the U.S. and other economies around the world. In addition, any disruptions of this kind
may affect a Client’s ability to procure its own financing arrangements and/or the terms of any such arrangements.
EQUITY SECURITIES RISK
Vise may recommend investments in equity securities. Equity securities are subject to changes in value and their values
may be more volatile than other asset classes. The value of equity securities varies in response to many factors. These
factors include, without limitation, factors specific to an issuer and the industry in which the issuer’s securities are
subject to market risk. Historically, U.S. and non-U.S. stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price
volatility and may do so again in the future.
ETF RISKS, NAV AND TRACKING ERROR
The investment objectives, principal investments and investment strategies used in managing an ETF, and the associated
principal investment risks, are described in each ETF’s offering documents (e.g., prospectuses). Each ETF is unique and
has its own principal investment risks. Intermediaries and Clients should review the prospectus for each ETF to
understand its principal investment risks.
Under some market conditions, the ETF share price may differ significantly from the ETF’s NAV, exposing investors to
price risk when trading in these securities. Investing in an ETF has risks associated with the ETF’s investments and may
subject the Client to a portion of the ETF’s fees and expenses. As a result, the cost of investing in an ETF may exceed
the cost of investing directly in the underlying holdings of the ETF. ETFs may be purchased at prices that exceed the net
asset value of their underlying investments and may be sold at prices below such net asset value. Trading costs
represent an important cost of an ETF to the Client. These costs present themselves in the bid-ask spread by which ETF
shares are purchased and sold in the secondary market. The reasons for the spreads include the liquidity of the ETF’s
underlying investments, volatility and pricing for those investments, and additional fixed costs. A Client may not be able
to liquidate ETF holdings at the desired time and price which may impact performance.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 16
LIQUIDITY RISK
For a certain period of time securities that Vise manages may not be able to be traded quickly enough in the market
without impacting the market price, as a result of but not limited to widening bid/ask spreads and/or limited depth as
specific prices.
FIXED INCOME SECURITIES RISK
Vise may recommend investments in fixed income securities. Fixed income securities are subject to various risks
including but not limited to default risk and interest rate risk. Fixed income securities are subject to the risk that an issuer
will fail to make timely payments of interest or principal, or go bankrupt, or that the value of the securities will decline
because of a market perception that the issuer may not make payments on time. The lower the rating of a fixed income
security, the higher its credit risk. Fixed income securities are also subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the value of
fixed income instruments will change inversely with changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value of
such instruments tends to decrease. Conversely, as interest rates fall, the market value of such instruments tends to
increase. This risk will typically be greater for instruments with longer maturities.
MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP RISKS
Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) are limited partnerships or limited liability companies whose interests (limited
partnerships or limited liability companies units) are generally traded on securities exchanges like shares of common
stock. Investments in MLPs entail different risks, including tax risks, than is the case for other types of investments.
Currently, most MLPs operate in the energy, natural resources, or real estate sectors. Investments in such MLP interests
are subject to the risks generally applicable to companies in these sectors (including commodity pricing risk, supply and
demand risk, depletion risk and exploration risk). Depending on the ownership vehicle, MLP interests are subject to
varying tax treatment, which should be discussed with the Intermediary.
Funds that primarily invest in MLPs generally accrue deferred tax liability. The fund’s deferred tax liability (if any) is
reflected each day in the fund’s net asset value. As a result, the fund’s total annual operating expenses may be
significantly higher than those of funds that do not primarily invest in MLPs. Please see the section “Tax and Legal
Considerations” for further information.
RISK RELATED TO MONEY MARKET FUNDS
Clients may lose money in money market funds. Although money market funds classified as government funds (i.e.,
money market funds that invest 99.5% of total assets in cash and/or securities backed by the U.S government) and retail
funds (i.e., money market funds open to natural person investors only) seek to preserve value at $1.00 per share, they
cannot guarantee they will do so. The price of other money market funds will fluctuate and when you sell shares they
may be worth more or less than originally paid. Money market funds may impose a fee upon sale or temporarily suspend
sales if liquidity falls below required minimums. During suspensions, shares would not be available for purchases,
withdrawals, check writing or ATM debits.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 17
INCOME RISK
A portfolio’s income may decline when interest rates decrease. During periods of falling interest rates an issuer may be
able to repay principal prior to the security’s maturity (“prepayment”), causing the portfolio to have to reinvest in
securities with a lower yield, resulting in a decline in the portfolio’s income.
INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENTS; INCLUDING EMERGING MARKETS RISK
Vise may recommend investments in issuers domiciled or operating outside the U.S., including in certain developing or
emerging markets. International investing and trading involve special risks not typically associated with trading in
investments relating to markets and/or issuers solely in the U.S. Depending on the particular countries and investments
involved and on the nature of the particular transactions executed outside of the U.S., these special risks may include
changes in exchange rates and exchange control regulations; downgrades in sovereign credit ratings; devaluations or
non-convertibility of non-U.S. currencies; failures or disruptions in central banks, banking systems, markets, or financial
exchanges; changes in monetary policies, interest rates, or interest-rate policies; political, social, and economic
instability; adverse diplomatic developments; investment and repatriation restrictions; the nationalization and/or
expropriation of assets; government intervention in the private sector; default by public and private issuers on their
financial obligations (and limited recourse in connection with such defaults); the imposition of non-U.S. taxes;
discrimination against foreign investors; and less liquid markets, less information, higher transaction costs, less
information regarding legal and regulatory risks, less uniform accounting and auditing standards, greater price volatility,
less reliable clearance and settlement procedures, and/or less government supervision of exchanges, brokers, market
intermediaries, issuers, and other markets and market participants than is generally the case in the U.S.
Further, individual non-U.S. economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in various respects,
such as pace of economic growth, rate of inflation, amount of capital reinvestment, degree of resource self- sufficiency,
and balance of payments position. For example, inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had and may
continue to have very negative effects on the economies and securities markets (both public and private) of certain
countries in which Vise may invest and may therefore have a material adverse effect on Vise’s investment methods.
The foregoing risks are likely to be more pronounced in connection with investments in countries with developing or
emerging markets.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 18
LIMITED DIVERSIFICATION; CORRELATION
Portfolios managed by Vise may be concentrated in particular countries, industries, exchanges, strategies, types of
investments, issuers, companies, or other shared characteristics. Any such concentration would magnify risks
associated with the investments held in such portfolios, including the risk of significant losses. In general, less
diversification will tend to expose the applicable Client to greater volatility and/or risk than would be the case with a more
broadly diversified portfolio. Even if a particular Client’s portfolio were diversified, however, there can be no assurance
that such diversification would reduce volatility or risk.
Portfolios managed by Vise may achieve returns that are not correlated with various market indices or the returns of
other investment vehicles. Further, it is anticipated that certain investments made by Vise will experience returns that
individually or in the aggregate are correlated (possibly highly) with various market indices or other strategies, including
various equity, debt, or other markets around the world.
Moreover, certain of the strategies deployed by Vise may maintain unhedged exposure, whether intentional or
unintentional, to various market movements, style factors, and other sources of risk, whether known or unknown, while
other strategies deployed on behalf of a Client may have such unhedged exposures from time to time. Such sources of
risk may include changes in current or future levels and/or volatility of interest rates, currency prices, commodity prices,
sovereign credit spreads, corporate credit spreads, and equity and other markets, as well as correlations between any
such risks. There can be no assurance that an investment of a portfolio managed by Vise would improve the risk/return
profile of any Client’s overall portfolio or otherwise improve the performance of such portfolio, and such an investment
may in fact result in material losses.
MARKET RISK
Vise’s investments on behalf of Clients and methods will be subject to market risk. The value of a security or other asset
may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to
the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of
countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. Local, regional or global events such as
war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could
have a significant impact on the portfolio and its investments.
REAL ESTATE SECURITIES RISK
Vise may recommend investments in REITs and other real estate related securities or indices that are subject to risks
incidental to the ownership and operation of real estate generally. Some of the risks associated with investments in real
estate and/or related derivatives are declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic
conditions, dependency on management skill, heavy cash flow dependency, possible lack of availability of mortgage
funds, overbuilding, extended vacancies of properties, increased taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws,
losses due to costs resulting from the clean-up of environmental problems, liability to third parties for damages resulting
from environmental problems, casualty or condemnation losses, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values
and the appeal of properties to tenants and changes in interest rates.

Page 19
TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION SECURITY RISK
Vise is dependent on the effectiveness of the information and cybersecurity policies, procedures and capabilities it
maintains to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its computer and telecommunications systems and
the data that resides on or is transmitted through them. An externally caused information security incident, such as a
cyber-attack including a phishing scam, malware, or denial-of-service attack, or an internally caused incident, such as
failure to control access to sensitive systems, could materially interrupt business operations or cause disclosure or
modification of sensitive or confidential Client or competitive information. Moreover, Vise’s increased use of mobile and
cloud technologies could heighten these and other operational risks, as certain aspects of the security of such
technologies may be complex, unpredictable or beyond Vise’s control. Vise’s growing exposure to the public Internet, as
well as any reliance on mobile or cloud technology or any failure by third-party service providers to adequately safeguard
their systems and prevent cyber-attacks, could disrupt Vise’s operations, and result in misappropriation, corruption or
loss of personal, confidential or proprietary information. In addition, there is a risk that encryption and other protective
measures may be circumvented, particularly to the extent that new computing technologies increase the speed and
computing power available. Moreover, due to the complexity and interconnectedness of Vise’s systems, the process of
upgrading existing capabilities, developing new functionalities, and expanding coverage into new markets and
geographies, including to address Client or regulatory requirements, may expose Vise to additional cyber- and
information- security risks or system disruptions, for Vise, as well as for intermediaries who rely upon, or have exposure
to, Vise’s systems. Although Vise has implemented policies and controls, and takes protective measures, to strengthen
its computer systems, processes, software, technology assets and networks to prevent and address potential data
breaches, inadvertent disclosures, cyber-attacks and cyber-related fraud, there can be no assurance that any of these
measures prove effective.
In addition, due to Vise’s interconnectivity with third-party vendors, Intermediaries, advisers, central agents, custodians
and other financial institutions, Vise may be adversely affected if any of them are subject to a successful cyber-attack or
other information security event, including those arising due to the use of mobile technology or a third-party cloud
environment. Vise also routinely transmits and receives personal, confidential, or proprietary information by email and
other electronic means. Vise collaborates with intermediaries, vendors and other third parties to develop secure
transmission capabilities and protect against cyber-attacks. However, Vise cannot ensure that it or such third parties
have all appropriate controls in place to protect the confidentiality of such information.
Any information security incident or cyber-attack against Vise or third parties with whom it is connected, or issuers of
securities or instruments in which the Client portfolios invests, including any interception, mishandling or misuse of
personal, confidential or proprietary information, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations,
potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws,
loss of competitive position, regulatory fines and/or sanctions, breach of Client contracts, reputational harm or legal
liability. Furthermore, many jurisdictions in which Vise operates have laws and regulations relating to data privacy,
cybersecurity, and protection of personal information, including the General Data Protection Regulation, which expands
data protection rules for individuals within the European Union and for personal data exported outside the European
Union. Any determination of a failure to comply with any such laws or regulations could result in fines and/or sanctions
against Vise.

OPERATIONAL RISK AND OPERATING EVENTS
A portfolio may suffer a loss arising from shortcomings or failures in internal processes, people, or systems, or from
external events. Operational risk can arise from many factors ranging from routine processing errors to potentially costly
incidents related to, for example, major systems failures.
Trade errors and other operational errors (“Operating Events”) occasionally occur in connection with Vise’s management
of Client accounts (“Portfolios”). The Vise Trade Error Procedure is designed to address the identification and correction
of Operating Events, consistent with applicable standards of care and Client documentation. An Operating Event
generally is compensable by Vise to a Client when it is an error (whether an action or inaction) in which Vise has, in Vise’s
reasonable view, deviated materially from the applicable investment guidelines or the applicable standard of care in
managing a Portfolio, subject to the considerations set forth below.
Operating Events may include but are not limited to: (i) the placement of orders in excess (or less) of the amount of
securities intended to trade for a portfolio; (ii) the purchase (or sale) of a security when it should have been sold (or
purchased); (iii) the purchase or sale of a security not intended for the Portfolio; and (iv) the purchase or sale of a security
contrary to applicable investment guidelines or restrictions.
Vise makes its determinations regarding Operating Events pursuant to its policies on a case-by-case basis, in its
discretion, based on factors it considers reasonable, including regulatory requirements, contractual obligations, and
business practices. Not all Operating Events will be considered compensable mistakes. Relevant factors Vise considers
when evaluating whether an Operating Event is compensable include, among others, the nature of the service being
provided at the time of the event, specific applicable contractual and legal requirements, and standards of care, whether
an applicable investment objective or guideline was contravened, the nature of the Client’s investment program, and the
nature of the relevant circumstances.
Operating Events may result in gains or losses or could have no financial impact. Operating Events involving erroneous
transactions made by the Intermediary generally are corrected in accordance with the procedures established by the
particular Intermediary and/or custodian. Contact the Intermediary, or custodian for information on how Operating Events
are corrected in such programs.
When Vise determines that reimbursement is appropriate, the Client will be compensated as determined in good faith by
Vise. Vise will determine the amount to be reimbursed, if any, based on what it considers reasonable guidelines
regarding these matters in light of all of the facts and circumstances related to the Operating Event. In general,
compensation is expected to be limited to direct and actual losses, which may be calculated relative to comparable
conforming investments, market factors and benchmarks and with reference to related transactions and/or other factors
Vise considers relevant. Compensation will not include any amounts or measures that Vise determines are indirect,
consequential, speculative, or uncertain.

Page 21
RELIANCE ON DATA
Vise’s methods are highly reliant on data from third-party and other external sources. Vise will use its discretion to
determine what data to gather with respect to any strategy or method, which may have an impact on trading decisions.
In addition, due to the automated nature of such data gathering and the fact that much of this data comes from
third-party sources, not all desired and/or relevant data will be available to, or processed by, Vise at all times. There is no
guarantee that any specific data or type of data will be used in generating or making trading decisions on behalf of the
Clients, nor is there any guarantee that the data used in making investment and trading decisions on behalf of Clients will
be (i) the most accurate data available or (ii) free of errors.
Vise does not possess data for all securities in the investable universe. When initially rebalancing the portfolio of a new
Client, Vise will recommend selling one or more Client securities holding because they are not recognized by the Vise
systems. Similarly, when forming a trade recommendation, Vise’s systems will ignore potential opportunities and benefits
of holding securities that are not recognized by Vise’s systems.
RELIANCE ON TECHNOLOGY; BACK-UP MEASURES
Vise’s investment activities and investment strategies are dependent upon various computer and telecommunications
technologies, many of which are provided by or are dependent upon third parties such as data feed, data center,
telecommunications, or utility providers. The successful deployment, implementation, and/or operation of such activities
and strategies, and various other critical activities of Vise on behalf of its Clients, could be severely compromised by
system or component failure, telecommunications failure, power loss, a software-related “system crash,” unauthorized
system access or use (such as “hacking”), computer viruses and similar programs, fire or water damage, human errors in
using or accessing relevant systems, or various other events or circumstances. Such events or circumstances may affect
Vise directly and/or may affect one or more third parties that provide services to Vise and/or its Clients.
It is not possible to provide comprehensive and unfailing protection against all such events, and no assurance can be
given about the ability of applicable third parties to continue providing their services. Any event that interrupts such
computer and/or telecommunications systems or operations could have a material adverse effect on Vise’s Clients,
including by preventing Vise from trading, modifying, liquidating, and/or monitoring its Clients’ investments. Moreover,
any unauthorized access to the information systems of Vise or certain third parties could result in the loss, disclosure, or
improper use of information relating to investments and/or personally identifiable information of Vise’s Clients; any such
loss, disclosure, or use could have a material adverse effect on such Clients.
Vise maintains back-up electronic books and records at a third party disaster recovery site, which is a fully operational
data center facility. In the case of events that interrupt Vise’s computer and/or telecommunications systems or
operations, Vise hopes to resume trading, modifying, liquidating, and/or monitoring its Clients’ investments relatively
promptly, subject to any circumstances that are outside the control of Vise.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC

BUSINESS DISRUPTIONS
In the case of severe business disruptions (e.g., regional power outage or loss of personnel), Vise may not resume such
activities for one or more business days because (among other things) such resumption is dependent on other critical
business constituents, such as brokers and exchanges, and on the nature of the disruption. Although the foregoing
reflects Vise’s objectives, designs, and/or plans, no assurance can be given that these objectives, designs, and/or plans
will be realized, or that Vise would be able to resume operations following a business disruption. Although the foregoing
reflects Vise’s objectives, designs, and/or plans, no assurance can be given that these objectives, designs, and/or plans
will be realized, or that, Vise would be able to resume operations following a business disruption, and any such
disruption could have a material adverse effect on Vise’s Clients.
REGULATORY CHANGE RISK
It is possible that changes in applicable laws and regulations may affect Vise’s operations. In addition, several substantial
regulatory changes are pending or in the process of changing in certain markets. However, the consequences of
additional regulation on the liquidity and the functioning of the markets in which Vise trades cannot be predicted and
may materially diminish the profitability of Client investments.
TAX AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vise’s methods for achieving tax efficient portfolio management are only one of many methods that may comprise an
individual’s tax management plan. Clients should obtain tax advice, which advice is outside the scope of the services
Vise provides and may be necessary to minimize the impact of tax liabilities a Client could incur. The tax-efficient
investment strategies that Vise recommends or implements do not comprise a comprehensive tax management plan, are
not intended to be tax advice, and Vise does not represent that any tax consequences will be obtained. Clients should
consult with their personal tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of investing.
Neither Vise nor any of our affiliates provides tax or legal advice and, therefore, are not responsible for developing,
implementing, or evaluating any tax strategies that may be employed by the Client. The Client should develop any such
strategies or address any legal or tax-related issues with a qualified legal or tax adviser. The investment and tax
strategies mentioned here may not be suitable for everyone. Each Client needs to review an investment or tax strategy
for his or her own particular situation before making any decision. This information is not intended to be a substitute for
specific individualized tax, legal or investment planning advice. Where specific advice is necessary or appropriate, Vise
recommends consultation with a qualified tax advisor, CPA, financial planner or investment manager.
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 23
Investment in MLPs entails different risks, including tax risks, than is the case for other types of investments. Investors in
MLPs hold “units” of the MLP (as opposed to a share of corporate stock) and are technically partners in the MLP.
Holders of MLP units are also exposed to the risk that they will be required to repay amounts to the MLP that are
wrongfully distributed to them. Almost all MLPs have chosen to qualify for partnership tax treatment. Partnerships do not
pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level. Rather, each partner of a partnership, in computing its U.S. federal
income tax liability, must include its allocable share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses and
credits. A change in current tax law, or a change in the business of a given MLP, could result in an MLP being treated as
a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in such MLP being required to pay U.S. federal
income tax on its taxable income. The classification of an MLP as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes
would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and could cause any such
distributions received by an investor to be taxed as dividend income.
Tax laws impacting MLPs may change, and this could impact any tax benefits that may be available through investment
in an MLP portfolio.
In the event that Vise does not have the cost-basis information for security holding in a Client portfolio, Vise’s systems
may sell the security, resulting in a material tax gain for the Client account. In addition, Intermediaries have the discretion
to initiate tax loss harvesting trades that result in significant capital gains or losses to Clients.
TAX MANAGEMENT RISK
Intermediaries who activate Vise’s tax management service are alerted to the following risks:
Clients should confer with their personal tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of investing with Vise and engaging
in the tax-loss harvesting strategy, based on their particular circumstances. Clients and their personal tax advisors are
responsible for how the transactions in the Client’s account are reported to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any
other taxing authority. Vise assumes no responsibility to the Client for the tax consequences of any transaction, including
any capital gains, disallowed losses, and/or wash sales that may result from the tax-loss harvesting strategy.
Vise’s tax-loss harvesting strategy is not intended as tax advice, and Vise does not represent in any manner that the tax
consequences described will be obtained or that Vise’ investment strategy will result in any particular tax consequence.
The tax consequences of this strategy and other Vise strategies are complex and may be subject to challenge by the
IRS. This strategy was not developed to be used by, and it cannot be used by, any investor to avoid penalties or interest.
When Vise replaces investments with “similar” investments as part of the tax-loss harvesting strategy, it is a reference to
investments that are expected, but are not guaranteed, to perform similarly and that might lower a Client’s tax bill while
maintaining a similar expected risk and return on the Client’s portfolio. Expected returns and risk characteristics are no
guarantee of actual performance.
The performance of the new securities purchased through the tax-loss harvesting service may be better or worse than
the performance of the securities that are sold for tax-loss harvesting purposes.
The effectiveness of the tax-loss harvesting strategy to reduce the tax liability of the Client will depend on the Client’s
entire tax and investment profile, including purchases and dispositions in a Client’s (or Client’s spouse’s) accounts
outside of Vise and type of investments (e.g., taxable or nontaxable) or holding period (e.g., short-term or long-term).
Intermediaries who customize our recommended portfolios may also influence the effectiveness of the tax-loss
harvesting strategy for their Clients. For example, intermediaries who allocate significant portions of their portfolio to
FORM ADV PART 2A | VISE AI ADVISORS, LLC
Page 24
ETFs that are not currently supported for tax-loss harvesting may decrease the effectiveness of this service by reducing
the number and/or amount of ETFs from which to harvest losses. The utilization of losses harvested through the strategy
will depend upon the recognition of capital gains in the same or a future tax period, and in addition may be subject to
limitations under applicable tax laws, e.g., if there are insufficient realized gains in the tax period, the use of harvested
losses may be limited to a $3,000 deduction against ordinary income and distributions. Losses harvested through the
strategy that are not utilized in the tax period when recognized (e.g., because of insufficient capital gains and/or
significant capital loss carryforwards), generally may be carried forward to offset future capital gains, if any.
If the Client and/or the Client’s spouse have other taxable or non-taxable investment accounts, and the Client holds in
those accounts any of the securities (including options contracts) held in the Client’s account at Vise, the Intermediary
cannot trade any of those securities 30 days before or after Vise trades those same securities as part of the tax-loss
harvesting strategy to avoid possible wash sales and, as a result, a nullification of any tax benefits of the strategy. For
more information on the wash sale rule, please read IRS Publication 550.
Vise’ tax-loss harvesting service is designed to avoid creating “wash sales” in Clients’ accounts with Vise. Clients and
intermediaries, however, are responsible for monitoring their accounts outside of Vise to ensure that transactions in the
same security or a substantially similar security do not create a wash sale. A wash sale occurs when a taxpayer sells a
security at a loss and purchases the same security or a substantially similar security over a period of 61 days: the day of
the sale, the 30 days before the sale, and the 30 days after the sale. If a wash sale occurs, the IRS may disallow or defer
the loss for current tax reporting purposes. Wash sales can occur even if the securities are sold and then bought in
different accounts. Therefore, Vise may lack visibility to certain wash sales, should they occur as a result of transactions
in external or unlinked accounts. Under those circumstances, Vise may not be able to provide notice of such wash sale
in advance of the Client's receipt of the IRS Form 1099.
Except as set forth below, Vise will monitor only a Client’s accounts at Vise to determine if there are unrealized losses for
purposes of determining whether to harvest such losses. Transactions outside of accounts at Vise may affect whether a
loss is successfully harvested and, if so, whether that loss is usable by the Client in the most efficient manner.
Under certain limited circumstances, there is a chance that Vise trading attributed to tax-loss harvesting may create
capital gains and/or wash sales. In addition, tax-loss harvesting strategies may produce losses which may not be offset
by sufficient gains in the account.
Not all the losses may be used to offset gains in the year they were recognized due to wash sales. Thus, wash sales can
diminish the effectiveness of tax-loss harvesting by deferring to a future year a tax loss that could have been used to
offset income or capital gains in the current year.
VOLATILITY RISK; VOLATILITY OF INVESTMENT RETURNS
The performance of investment strategies Vise deploys on behalf of its Clients may be volatile (both in absolute terms
and relative to realized returns), potentially resulting in increased risks, including the risk of losses. Such strategies may
have volatility, a greater chance of losses or negative returns, lower average returns, correlation with certain
macroeconomic risk factors, asset class concentrations, and/or other significant risks, whether in absolute terms, relative
to expected returns, or relative to certain other strategies that are deployed by Vise on behalf of other Clients.

SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLE AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT RISKS
Vise may from time to time facilitate or manage investments through Private Funds formed for the purpose of making an
investment in a private company. Private Fund investments involve substantial risks that differ materially from the risks
associated with Vise’s other investment strategies, including the following: (i) Private Fund investments are illiquid,
long-term, and generally non-redeemable, meaning investors may not be able to exit or sell their interests prior to a
liquidity event, if at all; (ii) investments in private companies are speculative and the risk of total loss of invested capital is
significant; (iii) valuations of private company interests are inherently uncertain and may not reflect the actual realizable
value of such interests; (iv) Private Fund investors will have limited rights and control over the underlying investment and
the operations of the private company; (v) Private Fund investments may be subject to transfer restrictions and may not
be freely transferable; (vi) the Private Fund and its underlying investment are subject to regulatory, legal, and tax risks
that may adversely affect investment returns; (vii) past performance of any prior Private Fund investment is not indicative
of future results; and (viii) investors in Private Funds must meet applicable eligibility requirements and should be able to
bear the risk of losing their entire investment. Prospective investors in any Private Fund should carefully review all
applicable offering documents and consult with their own legal, tax, and financial advisors before investing.

Item 9 | Disciplinary Information
There are no adverse disciplinary events affecting Vise that would be deemed material to a Client’s decision to use Vise’s
investment advisory services.
Item 10 | Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
In some cases, Vise may have business arrangements with related persons/companies that are material to Vise’s
advisory business or to their Clients. In some cases, these business arrangements create a potential conflict of interest,
or the appearance of a conflict of interest between Vise and a Client. The services that Vise provides Intermediaries and
Clients, as well as related conflicts of interest, are discussed in Item 11 (“Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading”) of this Brochure. Potential conflicts of interest are also discussed in the Governing
Documents. In addition, Vise SpaceX GP I, LLC is an affiliate of Vise that serves as the manager of VISE SPACEX SPV I,
LLC. Vise serves as the Management Company to the Private Fund and provides certain investment and operational
duties on behalf of the Private Fund. The relationship between Vise and Vise SpaceX GP I, LLC creates a potential
conflict of interest because Vise may have incentives to favor the Private Fund or its investors over other Clients. Vise has
policies and procedures in place designed to manage these potential conflicts of interest. Investors in the Private Fund
should be aware of this relationship when evaluating Vise’s services in connection with the Private Fund.

Item 11 | Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and
Personal Trading
Vise has adopted a code of ethics (the “Code”) that establishes the standard of business conduct that must be followed
by, among others, all partners, dependent directors, officers, and employees of Vise (collectively, “Supervised Persons”).
The Code incorporates the following general principles, which all Supervised Persons are expected to uphold: act in the
best interests of Clients; conduct activities and personal securities transactions in a manner consistent with the Code,
which seeks to address certain conflicts of interest in this regard; avoid taking any inappropriate advantage of one’s
position at Vise; maintain confidentiality of information concerning Vise’s securities recommendations and Client
securities holdings and transactions; and provide accurate disclosure in reports required by auditors, regulators, or
government bodies.
Vise believes that these general principles not only help Vise fulfill its obligations undertaken as an investment adviser,
but also protect Vise’s reputation and instill in employees Vise’s commitment to honesty, integrity, and professionalism.
The Code also provides guidelines for Supervised Persons regarding adherence to securities laws generally, transactions
in personal accounts involving public and private securities and commodities, activities outside of the investment
adviser’s business, giving and receiving business-related gifts, and the maintenance and memorialization of certain
family and/or close personal relationships. For example, the Code generally requires that all Access Persons report
securities holdings. In addition, the Code encourages all Supervised Persons to report Code violations and outlines
potential sanctions for such violations. Vise’s Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for the Code’s administration,
including without limitation the monitoring and review of personal securities accounts of Access Persons, and is available
for any questions Access Persons have regarding the Code. Vise will provide a copy of the Code to any Client or
prospective Client upon request and may elect to provide a copy of the Code to Clients.

Item 12 | Brokerage Practices
GENERAL
Vise is capable of working with Intermediaries that have relationships with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., Raymond James
& Associates, Inc., and/or Fidelity Institutional (the “Approved Brokers”). Vise may add additional brokers to the
Approved Brokers list.
The Service is available through an Intermediary with Vise acting as a subadviser. Vise makes recommendations to the
Intermediary. Upon the approval of such recommendations, Vise places all trade orders for securities transactions on
behalf of its Clients with a broker-dealer mandated by the applicable Intermediary (each, an “Intermediary Broker”).
The Intermediary evaluates, in its reasonable judgment, which Intermediary Broker(s) are qualified to meet the brokerage
and custodial needs of the Clients. Vise generally does not monitor or evaluate the nature and quality of the services
Clients obtain from Intermediary Brokers and it is possible that Intermediary Brokers provide less advantageous
execution of transactions than if Vise selected another broker-dealer to execute the transactions. Please refer to Item 5
(“Fees and Compensation”) for information regarding potential brokerage costs.
The Intermediary is generally responsible for negotiating commission rates and transaction fees with the Approved
Brokers. Not all investment advisors require or permit Clients to enter into agreements with a subadviser. Depending on
an Intermediary’s negotiated commission rates and transaction fees, a Client may be unable to achieve most favorable
execution, which may cost Clients more.
After acceptance of the initial trade recommendations, thereafter Vise will assume full investment discretion, and further
rebalancing decisions will not be presented to the Intermediary.
COMMISSIONS
Vise does not charge a premium or commission on transactions.
USE OF COMMISSIONS – SOFT DOLLARS, RESEARCH
Vise does not use Client commissions to acquire research or brokerage services other than order execution.
BROKERAGE FOR INTERMEDIARY REFERRALS
Vise does not consider the possibility of receiving Intermediary referrals from a particular broker-dealer when selecting or
recommending that intermediaries use the broker-dealer.
DIRECTED BROKERAGE
Vise does not permit Clients to direct brokerage.

ORDER EXECUTION RISK
Vise is authorized by each Client to execute transactions on such Clients' behalf. Vise typically executes securities
transactions as soon as reasonably practicable after generating each trade recommendation. However, there are many
reasons that trades may be delayed or extended, including but not limited to, complex scenarios, market activity,
liquidity, vendor issues, and data verification. These events could cause delays in the amount of time it takes Vise, or the
relevant executing broker, to execute each transaction. Any delays in Vise’s executing transactions could reduce,
perhaps materially, any profit earned by such Clients or could cause a material loss.
Vise may execute transactions by placing a variety of order types such as market orders, limit orders, or algorithmic
orders. This could result in Vise’s Clients paying a higher purchase price or receiving a lower sale price when Vise places
orders on the Client’s behalf compared to using other order execution methods. It could also result in higher execution
fees charged by the brokers handling these transactions.
TIMING OF ORDER SUBMISSION AND EXECUTION OF TRADES
Timing of order execution will be done on a best efforts basis. Vise does not guarantee that proposals will be executed
on the same trading day, regardless of whether they are algorithm or Intermediary generated. Vise places orders to buy
and or/sell securities with Intermediary Brokers. If you want to control the specific time during the day that securities are
bought and sold in your account (e.g., you want the ability to “time the market”), you should not use Vise’s Service.
ORDER EXECUTION PRACTICES
Vise systematically reviews trade orders for a variety of liquidity indicators when interacting with our executing brokers.
Based on the internal trading metrics Vise has produced and maintains, Vise may utilize a variety of order types and
execution methods to potentially improve the outcome for the Client. These order execution methods include but are not
limited to: market orders, limit orders, or algorithmic orders. Vise maintains the discretion to decide which order
execution strategy to utilize for each individual order.
ORDER AGGREGATION AND BLOCK TRADING PRACTICES
Vise will review proposed trades at varying times throughout the day. When possible, Vise will aggregate orders
containing the same security with the same trade direction. Vise will block its orders to ensure that no Client is favored,
and each account will receive the same average share price on a pro rata basis. The timing of approved orders, market
liquidity conditions, limit prices, and Intermediary generated trades may result in identical trades receiving different prices
across different accounts on the same day.
Vise will determine if incurring tradeaway fees or step out fees is better overall to the Client when transacting in equity or
fixed income securities. These fees may be incurred through broker-dealers other than the account custodian. The Client
may incur both commission or transaction fees charged by the executing broker-dealer and a processing fee charged by
the account custodian.

Item 13 | Review of Accounts
Vise conducts account reviews through its automated computer algorithms and by Vise’s investment advisory personnel
responsible for portfolio validation and monitoring of Client accounts. For each of Vise’s investment strategies,
investment advisory personnel are responsible for periodically reviewing trading data and other automated events and
reports and overseeing the trading activity performed on behalf of Vise’s Clients within Vise’s investment strategies. Such
reviews include without limitation a verification that actual trading activity is consistent with the intended strategy, an
analysis of risks associated with a particular strategy, and a determination that trading is undertaken in compliance with
applicable regulations.
In addition, as Vise acts as a subadviser, an Intermediary may (and is encouraged to) conduct account reviews which are
independent of and/or in addition to the reviews conducted by Vise.
REPORTING
Vise provides Client reporting via its platform on a periodic basis. Reports generally include, but are not limited to,
account values, performance and characteristics Vise monitors performance data for accuracy but in some
circumstances the information could be incorrect, such as errors resulting from the inaccuracy of underlying custodian
data.
TAX REPORTING
Vise will report and provide information on its website and/or in the form of reports on items related to the Client’s capital
gains status and this information provided should not be utilized for capital gains reporting purposes. The figures
presented are for illustrative purposes only. Clients are strongly encouraged to coordinate with a qualified tax
professional for all tax related matters.
Vise does not provide tax advice and Intermediaries are encouraged to work with a qualified tax professional with their
Clients. Provided content is for overview and informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as individual tax
advice. Clients are strongly advised to consult with qualified tax professionals regarding all tax related matters.

Item 14 | Intermediary Referrals and Other Compensation
CLIENT REFERRALS
Vise may engage third parties to solicit business on its behalf. Promoters are paid a portion of the investment advisory
fee charged by Vise to the solicited Intermediary. All fees paid to a promoter are paid pursuant to a written agreement
between Vise and the promoter. Vise will enter into solicitation arrangements only if written agreements are in place, and
all parties are in full compliance with all requirements under the Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-1.
For Clients who are introduced to us by an unaffiliated promoter, the Client is given, prior to or at the time of solicitation,
(1) a copy of a written disclosure statement which meets the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1(b) of the Advisers Act and
include a statement addressing any material conflicts resulting from Vise’s relationship with the promoter. The payment
of a solicitation fee creates a conflict of interest with respect to the promoter’s recommendation that an Intermediary
select Vise for Investment Management Services.
USE OF ADVERTISING NETWORKS
Vise conducts campaigns through advertising networks (e.g., Google AdWords/AdSense, Microsoft AdCenter) and
compensates such advertising networks accordingly. In addition, at certain times Vise may offer a credit or nominal gift
to existing Intermediaries that refer new Intermediaries to use Vise’s services. While the amount of the credit or gift is
nominal, such credits or gifts cause a conflict of interest because they incentivize Intermediaries to make referrals.
TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
Vise may provide technology and/or consulting services to third party financial entities, including entities that may be
registered as investment advisers under the Advisers Act and/or registered as broker-dealers under Section 15 of the
Exchange Act. As a technology services provider, Vise will have no portfolio management, investment advisory, or
fiduciary responsibilities with respect to any Clients who may use the technology through an Intermediary. When
providing technology and/or consulting services to third party financial entities, Vise will not manage, monitor, or oversee
any trading decisions of any Client, any Client’s compliance with the Client’s investment objectives; or any other aspects
of the portfolio management activity of Client accounts or portfolios. Vise will not enter into a discretionary investment
management agreement with a Client solely in connection with the provision of technology services to an Intermediary.

Item 15 | Custody
Vise generally does not have custody of Client assets. Assets are held in the name of Client and are held in the custody
of broker-dealers that are qualified custodians as defined in Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-2. With respect to the Private Fund,
Vise or its affiliate, as manager of the Private Fund, is deemed to have custody of Private Fund assets under the Advisers
Act. Private Fund investors generally do not receive account statements from a third-party qualified custodian; instead,
investors receive periodic reports from the Private Fund’s manager or administrator. Private Fund investors are
encouraged to carefully review any reports or statements they receive and contact Vise with any questions or
discrepancies.
However, based on SEC guidance, Vise may be deemed to have custody of its Clients’ assets because certain Clients
may authorize Vise to deduct its Subadviser Fee out of the assets in such Clients’ accounts by sending invoices to the
respective custodians of those accounts. Such Clients will receive account statements directly from their third-party
custodians for the accounts and should carefully review these statements. Such Clients should contact their Intermediary
immediately if they do not receive account statements from their custodian on at least a quarterly basis. As noted in Item
13 (“Review of Accounts”) of this Brochure, Vise may provide Clients with separate reports or account statements
providing information about the account. Clients should compare these carefully to the account statements received
from the custodian. If Clients discover any discrepancy between the account statement provided by Vise and the
account statement provided by the custodian, then they should contact their Intermediary.
Item 16 | Investment Discretion
Vise receives discretionary investment authority from its Clients at the outset of an advisory relationship in connection
with the Service. Vise requires a limited power of attorney (or other grant of authority required by a Client’s Intermediary
or broker-dealer) to act on a discretionary basis for its Clients, allowing Vise to trade on behalf of these Clients. Vise is
also granted investment discretion by the appointment of Clients or Intermediaries through the Governing Document.
Clients complete the applicable documentation required by the Client’s broker-dealer as part of the Service enrollment
process. The Investment discretion granted to Vise ensures the timing, quantity, security selection, and decision to buy
and/or sell is fully within Vise’s authority. After acceptance of the initial trade recommendations, thereafter Vise will
assume full investment discretion, and further rebalancing decisions will not be presented to the Intermediary.

Item 17 | Voting Client Securities
Vise does not vote Client securities, nor does it provide advice about proxy solicitations. Clients or Intermediaries must
vote proxies on securities held in their account directly based on information they receive from their custodians and/or
Intermediaries. With respect to the Private Fund, Vise or its affiliate, as manager of the Private Fund, may exercise voting
rights with respect to the securities held by the Private Fund in accordance with the terms of the Private Fund’s
governing documents. Private Fund investors do not have the right to vote the securities held by the Private Fund
directly. Vise will seek to exercise any such voting rights in a manner consistent with the best interests of Private Fund
investors, but there can be no assurance that Vise’s voting decisions will result in the outcomes preferred by any
particular investor.
Item 18 | Financial Information
Vise does not require or solicit payment of more than $1,200 in fees per Client, six months, or more in advance, and,
thus, has not included a balance sheet of its most recent fiscal year. Vise is not subject to any financial commitment that
impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to Clients, nor has Vise been the subject of a
bankruptcy petition.
