Firm Description
Wealth Management CPAs, LLC (“WM CPAs”) formerly known as Wealth Management LLC
was founded in 2010 and began offering advisory services in September of 2020. Robert
Beck is 100% owner.
Types of Advisory Services
ASSET MANAGEMENT
WM CPAs offers discretionary asset management services to advisory Clients. WM CPAs
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. The Client will authorize WM CPAs
discretionary authority to execute selected investment program transactions as stated
within the Investment Advisory Agreement.
When deemed appropriate for the Client, WM CPAs may hire Sub-Advisors to manage all or
a portion of the assets in the Client account. WM CPAs has full discretion to hire and fire
Sub-Advisors as they deem suitable. Sub-Advisors will maintain the models or investment
strategies agreed upon between Sub-Advisor and WM CPAs. Sub-Advisors execute trades
on behalf of WM CPAs in Client accounts. WM CPAs will be responsible for the overall direct
relationship with the Client. WM CPAs retains the authority to terminate the Sub-Advisor
relationship at WM CPAs discretion.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING
A comprehensive evaluation of an investor's current and future financial state will be
provided by using currently known variables to predict future cash flows, asset values and
withdrawal plans. WM CPAs will use current net worth, tax liabilities, asset allocation, and
future retirement and estate plans in developing financial plans.
Typical topics reviewed in a financial plan may include but are not limited to:
• Financial goals: Based on an individual's or a family's clearly defined financial
goals, including funding a college education for the children, buying a larger home,
starting a business, retiring on time or leaving a legacy. Financial goals should be
quantified and set to milestones for tracking.
• Personal net worth statement: A snapshot of assets and liabilities serves as a
benchmark for measuring progress towards financial goals.
• Cash flow analysis: An income and spending plan determines how much can be set
aside for debt repayment, savings and investing each month.
• Retirement strategy: A strategy for achieving retirement independent of other
financial priorities. Including a strategy for accumulating the required retirement
capital and its planned lifetime distribution.
• Comprehensive risk management plan: Identify all risk exposures and provide
the necessary coverage to protect the family and its assets against financial loss. The
risk management plan includes a full review of life and disability insurance,
personal liability coverage, property and casualty coverage, and catastrophic
coverage.
- 1 -
for selecting, buying and selling
• Long-term investment plan: Include a customized asset allocation strategy based
on specific investment objectives and a risk profile. This investment plan sets
guidelines
investments and establishing
benchmarks for performance review.
• Tax reduction strategy: Identify ways to minimize taxes on personal income to the
extent permissible by the tax code. The strategy should include identification of tax-
favored investment vehicles that can reduce taxation of investment income.
• Estate preservation: Help update accounts, review beneficiaries for retirement
accounts and life insurance, provide a second look at your current estate planning
documents, and prompt you to update your plan when the legal environment
changes or you have major life events such as a marriage, death, or births.
If a conflict of interest exists between the interests of WM CPAs and the interests of the
Client, the Client is under no obligation to act upon WM CPAs recommendation. If the Client
elects to act on any of the recommendations, the Client is under no obligation to effect the
transaction through WM CPAs. Financial plans will be completed and delivered inside of 30
days contingent upon timely delivery of all required documentation.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
WM CPAs tailors services to the individual needs of the Client. The goals and objectives for
each Client are documented in our Client files. Investment strategies are created that reflect
the stated goals and objectives. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain
securities or types of securities. Agreements may not be assigned without written Client
consent.
When utilizing sub-advisors WM CPAs will work closely with the sub-advisor to ensure the
Client’s individual needs are met. They will ensure that Clients imposed restrictions are
always followed.
Wrap Fee Programs
WM CPAs does not sponsor any wrap fee programs. WM CPAs may participate in wrap fee
programs of sub-advisors. These accounts will not be managed differently from accounts
not participating in a wrap program. Since WM CPAs collects the fee and pays the sub-
advisor their portion of the fee, this will not affect Client fees.
Client Assets under Management
WM CPAs has the following assets under management:
Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts:
$329,157,318
$0
Date Calculated:
December 31, 2025
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule
ASSET MANAGEMENT
WM CPAs offers discretionary direct asset management services to advisory Clients. WM
CPAs charges an annual investment advisory fee based on the total assets under
management as follows:
- 2 -
Assets Under Management
Up to $499,999
$500,000 - $1,499,999
$1,500,000 to $2,499,999
Over $2,500,000
Annual Fee
1.75%
1.50%
1.25%
1.00%
Quarterly Fee
.4375%
.375%
.3125%
.25%
This is a tiered or breakpoint fee schedule, the entire portfolio is charged the same asset
management fee. For example, a Client with $750,000 under management would pay
$11,250 on an annual basis. ($750,000 x 1.50% = $11,250.)
WM CPAs may also utilize the services of a Sub-Advisor to manage Clients’ investment
portfolios. WM CPAs will enter into Sub-Advisor agreements with other registered
investment advisor firms. When using Sub-Advisors, the Client will not pay additional fees.
The Sub-Advisors fees are inclusive of the fees charged by WM CPAs. When utilizing Sub-
Adviser’s, WM CPAs may authorize the Sub-Advisor to debit the Client’s accounts for the
fee. When utilizing sub-advisor services, WM CPAs will reduce their annual fee so that the
inclusive fee is no more than what is stated above. For example, if a Client invests $250,000
the annual fee is 1.75%. If the sub-advisor charges an annual fee of .50%, then WM CPAs
will charge 1.25% for a total of 1.75% annually. Total fees to Client will never exceed 2% of
assets under management per year. Lower fees for comparable services may be available
from other sources.
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.). Fees are billed quarterly in advance based on the amount of assets managed
as of the close of business on the last business day of the previous quarter.
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 WM CPAs with thirty (30) days written
notice to Client and by the Client at any time with written notice to WM CPAs.
For accounts opened or closed mid-billing period, fees will be prorated based on the days
services are provided during the given period. If account is closed mid billing period, 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.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING
WM CPAs charges an hourly fee of $150 for financial planning. Prior to the planning
process the Client will be provided an estimated plan fee. Services are completed and
delivered inside of 30 days contingent upon timely delivery of all required documentation.
Fees for financial plans are due upon delivery of the completed plan.
Client may 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 unpaid earned
fees will be due to WM CPAs.
WM CPAs reserves the right to waive the fee should the Client implement the plan through
WM CPAs.
- 3 -
Client Payment of Fees
Fees for asset management services are deducted from a designated Client account to
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 WM CPAs.
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. WM CPAs does not receive
any compensation from these fees. All of these fees are in addition to the management fee
you pay to WM CPAs. For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this
brochure.
Prepayment of Client Fees
WM CPAs does not require any prepayment of fees of more than $1,200 per Client and six
months or more in advance.
Investment management fees are billed quarterly in advance.
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 WM CPAs.
External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
Investment Advisor Representatives of WM CPAs receive external compensation from sales
of investment related products such as insurance as licensed insurance agents.
Insurance sales and services represents a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive
to recommend products based on the commission received. This conflict is mitigated by
disclosures, procedures, and WM CPAs fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the
Client first and Clients are not required to purchase any products or services. Clients have
the option to purchase these products through another insurance agent of their choosing.
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.
WM CPAs does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of
interest. Performance based compensation may create an incentive for WM CPAs to
recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the Client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
WM CPAs generally provides investment advice to individuals. Client relationships vary in
scope and length of service.
- 4 -
Account Minimums
WM CPAs does not require a minimum to open an account. When referring Client to a sub-
advisor, account minimums are determined by the sub-adviser. WM CPAs will not refer
Clients to sub-advisers the client isn’t eligible for.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis, technical analysis, charting,
and cyclical analysis. 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.
Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market
trends. The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns
can be identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not always
follow patterns and relying solely on this method may not take into account new patterns
that emerge over time.
Charting analysis strategy involves using and comparing various charts to predict long and
short-term performance or market trends. The risk involved in using this method is that
only past performance data is considered without using other methods to crosscheck data.
Using charting analysis without other methods of analysis would be making the
assumption that past performance will be indicative of future performance. This may not
be the case.
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.
Prior to entering into an agreement with a sub-advisor, WM CPAs will conduct a due
diligence investigation into their business practices. WM CPAs will conduct and document
the initial and annual due diligence review of each sub-advisor. The investigation may
include the following:
• Verify the firm and its associates are properly registered as an investment advisor
and investment advisor representatives; ensure they are registered in the states
that WM CPAs conducts business (notice filed for SEC registered firms)
• Review sub-advisors Form ADV, disclosure brochures, marketing material, and
•
client agreements
If the sub-advisor has a pre-determined minimum amount for assets under
management, verify that WM CPAs meets this requirement.
• Verify that the sub-advisor maintains errors and omissions insurance, a fidelity
bond and/or an ERISA fiduciary bond.
- 5 -
• Review Form U4 disclosures of the sub-advisor’s officers, directors and portfolio
managers to analyze any reported regulatory actions, criminal actions, civil actions,
customer complaints, arbitrations and financial disclosures.
• Review the sub-advisors past performance and measure that performance against
indexes.
• Verify that the sub-advisor has proper disclosure regarding its past performance
• Verify that the sub-advisor is Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS)
certified, or if the sub-advisor is not GIPS certified, verify that the sub-advisor aims
to achieve GIPS compliance
• Request the sub-advisors Business Continuity Plan
In developing a financial plan for a Client, WM CPAs 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 WM CPAs. Each Client executes a Client profile form or similar
form that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy. Standard types
of investment strategies are:
Passive and Active Strategies
The passive strategy involves buying and holding stocks and not frequently deals in them
to avoid higher transaction costs. They believe they cannot outperform the market due to
its volatility; hence passive strategies tend to be less risky. On the other hand, active
strategies involve frequent buying and selling. They believe they can outperform the
market and can gain more returns than an average investor would.
Growth Investing (Short-Term and Long-Term Investments)
Investors chose the holding period based on the value they want to create in their portfolio.
If investors believe that a company will grow in the coming years and the intrinsic value of
a stock will go up, they will invest in such companies to build their corpus value. This is also
known as growth investing. On the other hand, if investors believe that a company will
deliver good value in a year or two, they will go for short term holding. The holding period
also depends upon the preference of investors. For example, how soon they want money to
say to buy a house, school education of kids, retirement plans, etc.
Value Investing
Value investing strategy involves investing in the company by looking at its intrinsic value
because such companies are undervalued by the stock market. The idea behind investing in
such companies is that when the market goes for correction, it will correct the value for
such undervalued companies and the price will then shoot up leaving investors with high
returns when they sell. This strategy is used by the very famous Warren Buffet.
- 6 -
Income Investing
This type of strategy focuses on generating cash income from stocks rather than investing
in stocks that only increase the value of your portfolio. There are two types of cash income
which an investor can earn – (1) Dividend and (2) Fixed interest income from bonds.
Investors who are looking for steady income from investments opt for such a strategy.
Dividend Growth Investing
In this type of investment strategy, the investor looks out for companies that consistently
paid a dividend every year. Companies that have a track record of paying dividends
consistently are stable and less volatile compared to other companies and aim to increase
their dividend payout every year. The investors reinvest such dividends and benefit
from compounding over the long term.
Contrarian Investing
These types of strategy allow investors to buy stocks of companies at the time of the down
market. This strategy focusses on buying at low and selling at high. The downtime in
the stock market is usually at the time of recession, wartime, calamity, etc. However,
investors shouldn’t just buy stocks of any company during downtime. They should look out
for companies that have the capacity to build up value and have a branding that prevents
access to their competition.
Indexing
This type of investment strategy allows investors to invest a small portion of stocks in a
market index. These can be S&P 500, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds.
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 WM CPAs:
• 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.
• 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.
- 7 -
• 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. Smaller companies
may also have a lower trading volume, which may 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.
• 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.
• Options Trading: The risks involved with trading options are that they are very time
sensitive investments. An options contract is generally a few months. The buyer of an
option could lose his or her entire investment even with a correct prediction about the
direction and magnitude of a particular price change if the price change does not occur
in the relevant time period (i.e., before the option expires). Additionally, options are less
tangible than some other investments. An option is a “book-entry” only investment
without a paper certificate of ownership.
- 8 -
• Trading on Margin: In a cash account, the risk is limited to the amount of money that
has been invested. In a margin account, risk includes the amount of money invested
plus the amount that has been loaned. As market conditions fluctuate, the value of
marginable securities will also fluctuate, causing a change in the overall account balance
and debt ratio. As a result, if the value of the securities held in a margin account
depreciates, the client will be required to deposit additional cash or make full payment
of the margin loan to bring account back up to maintenance levels. Clients who cannot
comply with such a margin call may be sold out or bought in by the brokerage firm.
• Leveraged Risk: The risks involved with using leverage may include compounding of
returns (this works both ways – positive and negative), possible reset periods,
volatility, use of derivatives, active trading and high expenses.
• Equity Linked CD Risk: Penalties may apply to early withdrawals. Fair market value of
CD’s when sold in the secondary market may be worth more or less than face value.
May or may not be FDIC insured. Returns are not based solely on market returns, as
there may be a maximum rate of interest the CD will earn. May be taxed on income
earned, but interest isn’t accrued (received) until the CD matures. Many CDs may have
“call” features, allowing the bank to close the contract early with no penalty, paying
back principle and any accrued interest.
• Passive and Active Strategies: Passive investing is subject to total market risk. Index
funds track the entire market, so when the overall stock market or bond prices fall, so
do index funds. Another risk is the lack of flexibility. Index fund managers usually are
prohibited from using defensive measures such as reducing a position in shares, even if
the manager thinks share prices will decline. Active investing can be costly due to the
potential for numerous transactions. If an investor is continually buying and selling
stocks, commissions may significantly impact the overall investment return.
• Growth Investing (Short-Term and Long-Term Investments): A drawback to growth
investing is a lack of dividends. If a company is in growth mode, it often needs capital to
sustain its expansion. This doesn’t leave much (or any) cash left for dividend payments.
Moreover, with faster earnings growth comes higher valuations which are, for most
investors, a higher risk proposition.
• Value Investing: As with any investment strategy, there's the risk of loss with value
investing despite it being a low-to-medium-risk strategy.
•
Income Investing: The biggest risks of bonds and other fixed-income investments are
interest rate risk, credit risk and inflation risk.
• Dividend Growth Investing: Dividends are not guaranteed and are subject to
macroeconomic as well as company-specific risks. Another potential downside to
investing in dividend-paying stocks is that companies that pay dividends are not usually
high-growth leaders.
• Contrarian Investing: Being a contrarian can be rewarding, but it is often a risky strategy
that may take a long period of time to pay off.
•
Indexing: Many index funds, like the S&P 500, are formed on a market capitalization
basis, meaning the top holdings have an outsized weight on broad market movements.
If Amazon (AMZN) and Facebook (FB), for instance, experience a weak quarter it would
have a noticeable impact on the entire index. This entirely passive strategy neglects
- 9 -
a subset of the investment universe focused on market factors like value, momentum,
and quality.
The risks associated with utilizing Sub-Advisors include:
• Manager Risk
o Sub-Advisor fails to execute the stated investment strategy
• Business Risk
o Sub-Advisor has financial or regulatory problems
• The specific risks associated with the portfolios of the Sub-Advisor’s which is
disclosed in the Sub-Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2.

WM CPAs and its management have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events that
are material to a Client’s or prospective Client’s evaluation of WM CPAs or the integrity of
its management.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration
WM CPAs is not registered as a broker-dealer and no affiliated representatives of WM CPAs
are registered representatives of a broker-dealer.
Futures or Commodity Registration
Neither WM CPAs nor its affiliated representatives are registered or have an application
pending to register as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or a
commodity trading advisor.
Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest
Neither WM CPAs nor their Investment Advisor Representatives are affiliated with a
broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker; an
investment company or other pooled investment vehicle (e.g. mutual fund, private fund,
etc.); a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading
advisor; a banking or thrift institution; a lawyer or law firm; a pension consultant; a real
estate broker or dealer; or a sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships.
Robert Beck maintains the following material relationships:
- 10 -
1. The managing partner for Wealth Management Tax Solutions, LLC, a CPA, tax
strategy and tax preparation company.
2. A financial affiliated business as an insurance agent with Wealth Management
Insurance Solutions, LLC.
3. A financial affiliated business as a health insurance agent with Wealth Management
Health Solutions, LLC.
WM CPAs is registered with the Utah Department of Commerce Division of Occupational
and Professional Licensing as a CPA firm, therefore can offer accounting services. However,
as noted above, the firm also has an affiliated entity, Wealth Management Tax Solutions,
LLC that offers accounting services. All tax service will be provided through Wealth
Management Tax Solutions, LLC.
Approximately 10% of Mr. Beck’s overall time is spent on these activities. He will offer
Clients services from his insurance and tax activities. As an insurance agent or tax advisor,
he may receive separate yet typical compensation.
These practices represent conflicts of interest because it gives an incentive to recommend
products or services based on the compensation received. This conflict is mitigated by
disclosures, procedures and the firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the
Client first and the Clients are not required to purchase any products or services. Clients
have the option to purchase these products or services through another insurance agent or
tax advisor of their choosing.
In addition, Mr. Beck is the Managing Partner of BKBC, LLC. He spends approximately 1% of
this time on this activity. This is not a conflict of interest as there will be no crossover
clients.
Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of Interest
WM CPAs may also utilize the services of a Sub-Advisor to manage Clients’ investment
portfolios. Sub-Advisors will maintain the models or investment strategies agreed upon
between Sub-Advisor and WM CPAs. Sub-Advisors execute all trades on behalf of WM CPAs
in Client accounts. WM CPAs will be responsible for the overall direct relationship with the
Client. WM CPAs retains the authority to terminate the sub-advisor relationship at WM
CPAs discretion.
Each sub-advisor utilized by WM CPAs charges different asset management fees for the
portfolios that they manage. In some cases the management fee for one sub-advisor is
lower than for another sub-advisor. This causes a conflict of interest because choosing a
sub-advisor with a lower fee means that WM CPAs will retain more of the fee for
themselves. When determining the sub-advisor to be utilized, WM CPAs does a thorough
review of the Client’s assets, objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, financial information
and investment experience to help them determine the sub-advisor that is in the best
interest of the Client. As stated above, some sub-advisors charge lower fees than other sub-
advisors which results in an incentive to WM CPAs because we are retaining a larger
portion of the fee.
These practices represent a conflict of interest as WM CPAs may select Sub-Advisors who
charge a lower fee, which allows WM CPAs to retain more of the fee or provides incentives
for their services than other Sub-Advisors. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures,
- 11 -
procedures, and by the fact that WM CPAs has a fiduciary duty to place the best interest of
the Client first and will adhere to their code of ethics.
Additionally, when utilizing sub-advisor’s, WM CPAs may receive additional compensation
from the sub-advisor being recommended in the form of company “swag” or incentive trips,
this will not increase the fees that the Client pays.
WM CPAs does not have any other business relationships with recommended or selected
sub-advisors. In addition to the authority granted to WM CPAs under the Agreement, Client
will grant WM CPAs authority to delegate to the sub-advisor all of its powers with regard to
the investment and reinvestment of the Assets with full authority to buy, sell, or otherwise
effect investment transactions involving the Assets in the client's name and for the client's
account. The sub-advisor shall be authorized, without prior consultation with WM CPAs or
the client, to buy, sell, trade and/or allocate the Assets in and/or among stocks, bonds,
mutual funds, unaffiliated separate account managers, and other securities and/or
contracts relating to the same, on margin (only if written authorization has been granted)
or otherwise, and to give instructions in furtherance of such authority to the registered
broker-dealer and/or the Custodian of the Assets and/or designated unaffiliated separate
account manager. The authority granted to the sub-advisor shall continue in force until
revoked by WM CPAs or the client in writing.
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 WM CPAs have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our
Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of WM CPAs affiliated persons and
addresses conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for affiliated
persons of WM CPAs. The Code reflects WM CPAs 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.
WM CPAs 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 WM CPAs 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.
WM CPAs Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the Client are our top
priority. WM CPAs 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.
- 12 -
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.
WM CPAs 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
WM CPAs 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
WM CPAs 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 WM CPAs with copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of WM CPAs is Robert Beck. 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.
Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm
Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest
WM CPAs 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 WM CPAs with copies of their brokerage statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of WM CPAs is Robert Beck. 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
WM CPAS will recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer based on their duty to seek
best execution for the client, meaning they have an obligation to obtain the most favorable
terms for a client under the circumstances. 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 affected, the ability to effect the transaction where a large block is involved,
- 13 -
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. WM CPAS will select
appropriate brokers based on a number of factors including but not limited to their
relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability. WM CPAS relies on its broker to
provide its execution services at the best prices available. Lower fees for comparable
services may be available from other sources. Clients pay for any and all custodial fees in
addition to the advisory fee charged by WM CPAS. WM CPAS does not receive any portion
of the trading fees.
WM CPAS will require the use of Charles Schwab.
• Directed Brokerage
WM CPAs does not allow directed brokerage accounts.
• Brokerage for Client Referrals
WM CPAs 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. WM CPAs 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 WM CPAs 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, WM CPAs receives economic benefits as a result of
commissions generated from securities transactions by the broker-dealer from the
accounts of WM CPAs. These benefits include both proprietary research from the
broker and other research written by third parties.
A conflict of interest exists when WM CPAs receives soft dollars. This conflict is
mitigated by the fact that WM CPAs has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best
interest of its Clients and the services received are beneficial to all Clients.
WM CPAs utilizes the services of custodial broker dealers. Economic benefits are
received by WM CPAs which would not be received if WM CPAs 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 WM CPAs
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.
- 14 -
Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts
WM CPAs 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
While the underlying investment accounts are continually monitored (whether the
investments are managed by a subadvisor or by WM CPAs) account reviews for accounts
managed by WM CPAs and sub-advisors or accounts delegated to additional third parties
are performed annually by Robert Beck, the Chief Compliance Officer of WM CPAs. Reviews
of Client accounts include, but are not limited to, examination of account performance
against the investment policy established for each client, 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.
Additional account reviews for accounts managed by WM CPAs and/or sub-advisors are
performed more frequently when market conditions dictate. Factors that may trigger
additional account review may be due to the client’s individual circumstances, economic
conditions, general factors affecting the stock market, etc.
Financial plans generated are updated as requested by the Client and pursuant to a new or
amended agreement, WM CPAs 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
WM CPAs does not send written account reports to clients. However, clients receive
written account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts from WM CPAs
qualified custodian. Statements provided by the custodian typically include portfolio
summary, cash activity summary, income & expense summary (non IRA), retirement
account summary (IRA only), required minimum distribution (IRA only), performance
summary, account positions, and account activity. Statements will be delivered via email or
mail as selected by the Client. 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
WM CPAS receives additional economic benefits from external sources as described above
in Item 12.
- 15 -
Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals
WM CPAs may enter into agreements with individuals and organizations, which may be
affiliated or unaffiliated with WM CPAs, that refer Clients to WM CPAs in exchange for
compensation. All such agreements will be in writing and comply with the requirements of
Federal or State regulation. If a Client is introduced to WM CPAs by a referring party, WM
CPAs may pay that referring party a fee. While the specific terms of each agreement may
differ, generally, the compensation will be based upon WM CPAs’ engagement of new
Clients and is calculated using a varying percentage of the fees paid to WM CPAs by such
Clients. Any such fee shall be paid solely from WM CPAs’ investment management fee, and
shall not result in any additional charge to the Client.
Each prospective Client who is referred to WM CPAs under such an arrangement will
receive a copy of this brochure and a separate written disclosure document disclosing the
nature of the relationship between the referring party and WM CPAs and the amount of
compensation that will be paid by WM CPAs to the referring party. The referring party is
required to obtain the Client’s signature acknowledging receipt of WM CPAs’ disclosure
brochure and the referring party’s written disclosure statement.
Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to Clients at least quarterly. Clients are urged to compare the account
statements received directly from their custodians to any documentation or reports
prepared by WM CPAs.
WM CPAs is deemed to have limited custody solely because advisory fees are directly
deducted from Client’s accounts by the custodian on behalf of WM CPAs.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
WM CPAs requires discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of
Clients. WM CPAs 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.
When a subadvisor is used, the subadvisor receives discretionary authority to execute
trades in the client’s account through the completion of the custodian’s account forms. The
custodian requires this additional authorization by the client prior to the assignment for
each individual account. This includes if a sub-advisor chooses an additional sub-advisor.
WM CPAs allows Client’s to place certain restrictions, as outlined in the Client’s Investment
Policy Statement or similar document. These restrictions will be communicated to sub-
advisors when setting up a Client account. When/if a sub-advisor utilizes an additional sub-
advisor, restrictions will not be allowed on accounts. Such restrictions could include only
allowing purchases of socially conscious investments. These restrictions must be provided
to WM CPAs in writing. The Client approves the custodian to be used and the commission
rates paid to the custodian. WM CPAs does not receive any portion of the transaction fees
or commissions paid by the Client to the custodian.
- 16 -
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
WM CPAs 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, WM CPAs 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 WM CPAs does not serve as a
custodian for Client funds or securities and WM CPAs 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
WM CPAs 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
WM CPAs has not had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years.
