Missouri. We were founded in May 2019. Joel Huet is the principal owner of WSWM. WSWM

Types of Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
We are in the business of managing individually tailored investment portfolios. Our firm provides
continuous advice to a client regarding the investment of Client funds based on the individual
needs of the Client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on a
client’s particular circumstances are established, we develop a client’s personal investment
policy or an investment plan with an asset allocation target and create and manage a portfolio
based on that policy and allocation targets. We will also review and discuss a client’s prior
investment history, as well as family composition and background.
Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the Client (e.g., maximum capital
appreciation, growth, income, or growth, and income), as well as tax considerations. Clients
may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or
industry sectors. Fees pertaining to this service are outlined in Item 5 of this brochure.
We may also use the services of Third-Party Managers (also referred to throughout this
Brochure as “outside managers” or “sub-advisers”) to assist in the portfolio management
process. Prior to selecting and engaging in the services of a third-party manager, we will ensure
they are appropriately registered or exempt from registration in all necessary jurisdictions. We
will ensure we assist Clients in selecting an appropriate allocation model, completing the outside
manager’s investor profile questionnaire, interacting with the outside manager, and reviewing
the outside manager. Our review process and analysis of outside managers is further discussed
in Item 8 of this Form ADV Part 2A. Additionally, we will meet with the Client on a periodic basis
to discuss changes in their personal or financial situation, suitability, and any new or revised
restrictions to be applied to the account. Fees pertaining to this service are outlined in Item 5 of
this brochure.
Project Based Financial Planning Services
We provide project based financial planning services on topics such as retirement planning, risk
management, college savings, cash flow, debt management, work benefits, and estate and
incapacity planning.
Financial planning involves an evaluation of a client’s current and future financial state by using
currently known variables to predict future cash flows, asset values, and withdrawal plans. The
key defining aspect of financial planning is that through the financial planning process, all
questions, information, and analysis will be considered as they affect and are affected by the
entire financial and life situation of the Client. Clients purchasing this service will receive a
4
written or an electronic report, providing the Client with a detailed financial plan designed to
achieve his or her stated financial goals and objectives.
In general, the financial plan will address any or all of the following areas of concern. The Client
and advisor will work together to select specific areas to cover. These areas may include, but
are not limited to, the following:
● Cash Flow and Debt Management: We will conduct a review of your income and expenses
to determine your current surplus or deficit along with advice on prioritizing how any surplus
should be used or how to reduce expenses if they exceed your income. Advice may also be
provided on which debts to pay off first based on factors such as the interest rate of the debt
and any income tax ramifications. We may also recommend what we believe to be an
appropriate cash reserve that should be considered for emergencies and other financial goals,
along with a review of accounts (such as money market funds) for such reserves, plus
strategies to save desired amounts.
● College Savings: Includes projecting the amount that will be needed to achieve college or
other post- secondary education funding goals, along with advice on ways for you to save the
desired amount. Recommendations as to savings strategies are included, and, if needed, we
will review your financial picture as it relates to eligibility for financial aid or the best way to
contribute to grandchildren (if appropriate).
● Employee Benefits Optimization: We will provide review and analysis as to whether you, as
an employee, are taking the maximum advantage possible of your employee benefits. If you are
a business owner, we will consider and/or recommend the various benefit programs that can be
structured to meet both business and personal retirement goals.
● Estate Planning: This usually includes an analysis of your exposure to estate taxes and your
current estate plan, which may include whether you have a will, powers of attorney, trusts, and
other related documents. Our advice also typically includes ways for you to minimize or avoid
future estate taxes by implementing appropriate estate planning strategies such as the use of
applicable trusts. We always recommend that you consult with a qualified attorney when you
initiate, update, or complete estate planning activities. We may provide you with contact
information for attorneys who specialize in estate planning when you wish to hire an attorney for
such purposes. From time-to-time, we will participate in meetings or phone calls between you
and your attorney with your approval or request.
● Financial Goals: We will help Clients identify financial goals and develop a plan to reach
them. We will identify what you plan to accomplish, what resources you will need to make it
happen, how much time you will need to reach the goal, and how much you should budget for
your goal.
● Insurance: Review of existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health, disability,
long-term care, liability, home, and automobile.
● Investment Analysis: This may involve developing an asset allocation strategy to meet
Clients’ financial goals and risk tolerance, providing information on investment vehicles and
strategies, reviewing employee stock options, as well as assisting you in establishing your own
investment account at a selected broker/dealer or custodian. The strategies and types of
investments we may recommend are further discussed in Item 8 of this brochure.
5
● Retirement Planning: Our retirement planning services typically include projections of your
likelihood of achieving your financial goals, typically focusing on financial independence as the
primary objective. For situations where projections show less than the desired results, we may
make recommendations, including those that may impact the original projections by adjusting
certain variables (e.g., working longer, saving more, spending less, taking more risk with
investments). If you are near retirement or already retired, advice may be given on appropriate
distribution strategies to minimize the likelihood of running out of money or having to adversely
alter spending during your retirement years.
● Risk Management: A risk management review includes an analysis of your exposure to
major risks that could have a significant adverse impact on your financial picture, such as
premature death, disability, property and casualty losses, or the need for long‐term care
planning. Advice may be provided on ways to minimize such risks and about weighing the costs
of purchasing insurance versus the benefits of doing so and, likewise, the potential cost of not
purchasing insurance (“self‐insuring”).
● Tax Planning Strategies: Advice may include ways to minimize current and future income
taxes as a part of your overall financial planning picture. For example, we may make
recommendations on which type of account(s) or specific investments should be owned based
in part on their “tax efficiency,” with the consideration that there is always a possibility of future
changes to federal, state or local tax laws and rates that may impact your situation.
We recommend that you consult with a qualified tax professional before initiating any tax
planning strategy, and we may provide you with contact information for accountants or attorneys
who specialize in this area if you wish to hire someone for such purposes. We will participate in
meetings or phone calls between you and your tax professional with your approval.
Ongoing Financial Planning
This service involves working one-on-one with a planner over an extended period of time. By
paying a fixed monthly fee, Clients get to work with a planner who will work with them to develop
and implement their plan. The planner will monitor the plan, recommend any changes and
ensure the plan is up to date.
Upon desiring a comprehensive plan, a Client will be taken through establishing their goals and
values around money. They will be required to provide information to help complete the
following areas of analysis: net worth, cash flow, insurance, credit scores/reports, employee
benefit, retirement planning, insurance, investments, college planning, and estate planning.
Once the Client's information is reviewed, their plan will be built and analyzed, and then the
findings, analysis and potential changes to their current situation will be reviewed with the
Client. Clients subscribing to this service will receive a written or an electronic report, providing
the Client with a detailed financial plan designed to achieve his or her stated financial goals and
objectives. If a follow-up meeting is required, we will meet at the Client's convenience. The plan
and the Client's financial situation and goals will be monitored throughout the year and follow-up
phone calls and emails will be made to the Client to confirm that any agreed upon action steps
have been carried out. On an annual basis, there will be a full review of this plan to ensure its
accuracy and ongoing appropriateness. Any needed updates will be implemented at that time.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
6
We offer the same suite of services to all of our clients. However, specific Client financial plans
and their implementation are dependent upon the Client Investment Policy Statement which
outlines each Client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and is used
to construct a Client specific plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches restrictions,
needs, and targets.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not participate in wrap fee programs.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Please note, unless a client has received the firm’s Disclosure Brochure at least 48 hours prior
to signing the investment advisory contract, the investment advisory contract may be terminated
by the Client within five (5) business days of signing the contract without incurring any advisory
fees. How we are paid depends on the type of advisory service we are performing. Please
review the fee and compensation information below.
Investment Management Services (WSWM Manages)
Our standard advisory fee is based on the market value of the assets under management and is
calculated as follows:
Account Value Annual Advisory Fee
$0 - $1,000,000 1.00%
$1,000,001 - $2,000,000 0.75%
$2,000,001 - $3,000,000 0.60%
$3,000,001 and Above 0.50%
The annual fees are negotiable and are pro-rated and paid in arrears on a monthly basis. The
advisory fee is a blended fee and is calculated by assessing the percentage rates using the
predefined levels of assets as shown in the above chart and applying the fee to the account
value as of the last business day of the month.
As an example, the annual fee on the management of $2,0000,000 would be $17,500 The fee is
calculated as follows: ($1,000,000 x 1.00% = $10,000) + ($1,000,000 x 0.75% = $7500) =
$17,500 (0.875% of Assets Under Management). The monthly fee would be $1,458.33.
No increase in the annual fee shall be effective without agreement from the Client by signing a
new agreement or amendment to their current advisory agreement.
Advisory fees are directly debited from Client accounts, or the Client may choose to pay by
check. Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar month will be charged a pro-rated fee
based on the amount of time remaining in the billing period. An account may be terminated with
written notice at least 30 calendar days in advance. Since fees are paid in arrears, no refund will
be needed upon termination of the account.
7
When a Third-Party Manager is used, the Third-Party Manager will debit the Client’s account for
both the Third- Party Manager’s fee, and WSWM’s advisory fee, and will remit WSWM’s fee to
WSWM. Please note, the above fee schedule does include the Third-Party Manager’s fee. No
increase in the annual fee shall be effective without agreement from the Client by signing a new
agreement or amendment to their current advisory agreement.
Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar month will be charged a pro-rated fee based
on the amount of time remaining in the billing period. An account may be terminated with written
notice at least 30 calendar days in advance. An account may be terminated with written notice
at least 30 calendar days in advance. Since fees are paid in arrears, no refund will be needed
upon termination of the account.
Ongoing Financial Planning
Ongoing Financial Planning consists of an ongoing fee that is paid monthly, in advance, at the
rate of $250-$3,000, depending on complexity and needs of the client, per month. The fee may
be negotiable in certain cases. Fees for this service may be paid by electronic funds transfer or
check. Due to the level of work conducted at the beginning of this service, a 12-month
commitment is required. Once the service enters its thirteenth month, this service may be
terminated with 30 days’ notice. Upon termination of any agreement, the fee will be prorated,
and any unearned fee will be refunded to the Client.
Project Based Financial Planning Fixed Fee
Financial Planning can be offered on a fixed fee basis. The fixed fee will be agreed upon before
the start of any work. The fixed fee can range between $3,000 and $5,000. The fee is
negotiable. If a fixed fee program is chosen, half of the fee is due at the beginning of the
process and the remainder is due at completion of work, however, WSWM will not bill an
amount above $500.00 more than 6 months in advance. Fees for this service may be paid by
electronic funds transfer or check. In the event of early termination any prepaid but unearned
fees will be refunded to the Client and any completed deliverables of the project will be provided
to the Client and no further fees will be charged.
Financial Planning Hourly Fee
Hourly Financial Planning engagements are offered at an hourly rate of $250 per hour,
depending on complexity. The fee may be negotiable in certain cases and is due at the
completion of the engagement. In the event of early termination by the Client, any fees for the
hours already worked will be due. Fees for this service may be paid by electronic funds transfer
or check.
Other Types of Fees and Expenses
Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses which may be incurred by the Client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by
custodians, brokers, and other third parties such as custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-
lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer, and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes
on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual fund and exchange-traded funds
also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund's prospectus. Such
charges, fees, and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to our fee, and we shall not
receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
8
Item 12 further describes the factors that we consider in selecting or recommending broker-
dealers for Client’s transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation
(e.g., commissions).
We do not accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products including
asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-
Side Management
We do not offer performance-based fees and do not engage in side-by-side management.
Item 7: Types of Clients
We provide financial planning and portfolio management services to individuals, high net-worth
individuals, pension and profiting sharing plans and corporations or other businesses.
Our minimum account size requirement is $250,000.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our primary methods of investment analysis involve fundamental and technical analysis when
assessing individual investments. Our core investment strategies involve a combination of
passive and active investment management with regard to the funds we select as described
below. We may also use the services of outside money managers to aid in the portfolio
management process.
Fundamental analysis involves analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, such
as a company’s financial statements, details regarding the company’s product line, the
experience, and expertise of the company’s management, and the outlook for the company’s
industry. The resulting data is used to measure the true value of the company’s stock compared
to the current market value. The risk of fundamental analysis is that the information obtained
may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may
be the basis for a stock’s value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing
fundamental analysis may not result in favorable performance.
Technical analysis involves using chart patterns, momentum, volume, and relative strength in
an effort to pick sectors that may outperform market indices. However, there is no assurance of
accurate forecasts or that trends will develop in the markets we follow. In the past, there have
been periods without discernible trends and similar periods will presumably occur in the future.
Even where major trends develop, outside factors like government intervention could potentially
shorten them.
9
Furthermore, one limitation of technical analysis is that it requires price movement data, which
can translate into price trends sufficient to dictate a market entry or exit decision. In a trendless
or erratic market, a technical method may fail to identify trends requiring action. In addition,
technical methods may overreact to minor price movements, establishing positions contrary to
overall price trends, which may result in losses. Finally, a technical trading method may
underperform other trading methods when fundamental factors dominate price moves within a
given market.
Use of Third Party Managers: We may refer Clients to third-party investment advisers
("outside managers"). Our analysis of outside managers involves the examination of the
experience, expertise, investment philosophies, and past performance of the outside managers
in an attempt to determine if that manager has demonstrated an ability to invest over a period of
time and in different economic conditions. We monitor the manager's underlying holdings,
strategies, concentrations, and leverage as part of our overall periodic risk assessment.
Additionally, as part of our due diligence process, we survey the manager's compliance and
business enterprise risks. A risk of investing with an outside manager who has been successful
in the past is that he or she may not be able to replicate that success in the future. In addition,
as we do not control the underlying investments in an outside manager's portfolio. There is also
a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment mandate or strategy of the
portfolio, making it a less suitable investment for our clients. Moreover, as we do not control the
manager's daily business and compliance operations, we may be unaware of the lack of internal
controls necessary to prevent business, regulatory or reputational deficiencies.
Passive and Active Investment Management
We primarily practice a combination of passive and active investment management. The funds
that are used to build passive portfolios are typically index mutual funds or exchange traded
funds. Passive investment management is characterized by low portfolio expenses, minimal
trading costs, and relative tax efficiency. In contrast, active management involves a single
manager or managers who employ some method, strategy or technique to construct a portfolio
that is intended to generate returns that are greater than the broader market or a designated
benchmark.
Material Risks Involved
All investing strategies we offer involve risk and may result in a loss of your original
investment which you should be prepared to bear. Many of these risks apply equally to
stocks, bonds, commodities, and any other investment or security. Material risks associated with
our investment strategies are listed below.
Market Risk: Market risk involves the possibility that an investment’s current market value will
fall because of a general market decline, reducing the value of the investment regardless of the
operational success of the issuer’s operations or its financial condition.
Strategy Risk: The Adviser’s investment strategies and/or investment techniques may not work
as intended.
Turnover Risk: At times, the strategy may have a portfolio turnover rate that is higher than
other strategies. A high portfolio turnover would result in correspondingly greater brokerage
10
commission expenses and may result in the distribution of additional capital gains for tax
purposes. These factors may negatively affect the account’s performance.
Concentration Risk: Certain investment strategies focus on particular asset-classes,
industries, sectors or types of investment. From time to time these strategies may be subject to
greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a strategy that is more
broadly diversified across a wider variety of investments.
Interest Rate Risk: Bond (fixed income) prices generally fall when interest rates rise, and the
value may fall below par value or the principal investment. The opposite is also generally true:
bond prices generally rise when interest rates fall. In general, fixed income securities with longer
maturities are more sensitive to these price changes. Most other investments are also sensitive
to the level and direction of interest rates.
Legal or Legislative Risk: Legislative changes or Court rulings may impact the value of
investments, or the securities’ claim on the issuer’s assets and finances.
Inflation: Inflation may erode the buying power of your investment portfolio, even if the dollar
value of your investments remains the same.
Risks Associated with Securities
Apart from the general risks outlined above which apply to all types of investments, specific
securities may have other risks.
Commercial Paper is, in most cases, an unsecured promissory note that is issued with a
maturity of 270 days or less. Being unsecured the risk to the investor is that the issuer may
default.
Common Stocks may go up and down in price quite dramatically, and in the event of an
issuer’s bankruptcy or restructuring could lose all value. A slower-growth or recessionary
economic environment could have an adverse effect on the price of all stocks.
Corporate Bonds are debt securities to borrow money. Generally, issuers pay investors
periodic interest and repay the amount borrowed either periodically during the life of the security
and/or at maturity. Alternatively, investors can purchase other debt securities, such as zero-
coupon bonds, which do not pay current interest, but rather are priced at a discount from their
face values and their values accrete over time to face value at maturity. The market prices of
debt securities fluctuate depending on factors such as interest rates, credit quality, and maturity.
In general, market prices of debt securities decline when interest rates rise and increase when
interest rates fall. The longer the time to a bond’s maturity, the greater its interest rate risk.
Bank Obligations including bonds and certificates of deposit may be vulnerable to setbacks or
panics in the banking industry. Banks and other financial institutions are greatly affected by
interest rates and may be adversely affected by downturns in the U.S. and foreign economies or
changes in banking regulations.
Municipal Bonds are debt obligations generally issued to obtain funds for various public
purposes, including the construction of public facilities. Municipal bonds pay a lower rate of
return than most other types of bonds. However, because of a municipal bond’s tax-favored
status, investors should compare the relative after-tax return to the after-tax return of other
bonds, depending on the investor’s tax bracket. Investing in municipal bonds carries the same
11
general risks as investing in bonds in general. Those risks include interest rate risk,
reinvestment risk, inflation risk, market risk, call or redemption risk, credit risk, and liquidity and
valuation risk.
Exchange Traded Funds prices may vary significantly from the Net Asset Value due to market
conditions. Certain Exchange Traded Funds may not track underlying benchmarks as expected.
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; (ii) the ETF may employ an investment strategy that
utilizes high leverage ratios; or (iii) 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. The Adviser has no control over the risks taken by the
underlying funds in which the Clients invest.
Investment Companies Risk. When a client invests in open-end mutual funds or ETFs, the
Client indirectly bears its proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable directly by
those funds. Therefore, the Client will incur higher expenses, many of 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).
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Criminal or Civil Actions
WSWM and its management have not been involved in any criminal or civil action.
Administrative Enforcement Proceedings
WSWM and its management have not been involved in administrative enforcement
proceedings.
Self-Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings
WSWM 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 WSWM or the integrity of its
management.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and
Affiliations
No WSWM employee is registered, or have an application pending to register, as a broker-
dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
No WSWM employee is registered, or have an application pending to register, as a futures

12
WSWM does not have any related parties. As a result, we do not have a relationship with any
related parties.
WSWM only receives compensation directly from Clients. We do not receive compensation from
any outside source. We do not have any conflicts of interest with any outside party.
Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisers
As referenced in Item 4 of this brochure, WSWM recommends Clients to Third Party Managers
to manage their accounts. In the event that we recommend a Third-Party Manager, please note
that we do not share in their advisory fee. Our fee is separate and in addition to their
compensation (as noted in Item 5) and will be described to you prior to engagement. You are
not obligated, contractually or otherwise, to use the services of any Third-Party Manager we
recommend. Additionally, WSWM will only recommend a Third-Party Manager who is properly
licensed or registered as an investment adviser.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest
in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
As a fiduciary, our firm and its associates have a duty of utmost good faith to act solely in the
best interests of each Client. Our clients entrust us with their funds and personal information,
which in turn places a high standard on our conduct and integrity. Our fiduciary duty is a core
aspect of our Code of Ethics and represents the expected basis of all our dealings. The firm
also adheres to the Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility adopted by the CFP® Board
of Standards Inc. and accepts the obligation not only to comply with the mandates and
requirements of all applicable laws and regulations but also to take responsibility to act in an
ethical and professionally responsible manner in all professional services and activities.
Code of Ethics Description
This code does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance
with each of its specific provisions will not shield associated persons from liability for personal
trading or other conduct that violates a fiduciary duty to advisory Clients. A summary of the
Code of Ethics' Principles is outlined below.
• Integrity - Associated persons shall offer and provide professional services with integrity.
• Objectivity - Associated persons shall be objective in providing professional services to Clients.
• Competence - Associated persons shall provide services to Clients competently and maintain
the necessary knowledge and skill to continue to do so in those areas in which they are
engaged.
• Fairness - Associated persons shall perform professional services in a manner that is fair and
reasonable to Clients, principals, partners, and employers, and shall disclose conflict(s) of
interest in providing such services.
13
• Confidentiality - Associated persons shall not disclose confidential Client information without
the specific consent of the Client unless in response to proper legal process, or as required by
law.
• Professionalism - Associated persons' conduct in all matter shall reflect the credit of the
profession.
• Diligence - Associated persons shall act diligently in providing professional services.
We periodically review and amend our Code of Ethics to ensure that it remains current, and we
require all firm access persons to attest to their understanding of and adherence to the Code of
Ethics at least annually. Our firm will provide a copy of its Code of Ethics to any Client or
prospective Client upon request.
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflicts of
Interest
Neither our firm, its associates or any related person is authorized to recommend to a client or
effect a transaction for a client, involving any security in which our firm or a related person has a
material financial interest, such as in the capacity as an underwriter, adviser to the issuer, etc.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of Interest
Our firm and its “related persons” do not invest in the same securities, or related securities, e.g.,
warrants, options, or futures, which we recommend to Clients.
Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Client’s Securities
Because our firm and its “related persons” do not invest in the same securities, or related
securities, e.g., warrants, options, or futures, which we recommend to Clients, we do not trade
in securities at or around the same time as Clients.
Item 12: Brokerage Practice
Factors Used to Select Custodians
Advisor does not have any affiliation with any custodian we recommend. Specific custodian
recommendations are made to the Client based on their need for such services. We
recommend custodians based on the reputation and services provided by the firm.
In recommending custodians, we have an obligation to seek the “best execution” of transactions
in Client accounts. The determinative factor in the analysis of best execution is not the lowest
possible commission cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution,
taking into consideration the full range of the custodian’s services. The factors we consider
when evaluating a custodian for best execution include, without limitation, the custodian’s:
14
Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally
without a separate fee for custody);
Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account);
Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers,
check requests, bill payment, etc.);
Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded
funds (ETFs), etc.);
Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment
decisions
Quality of services;
Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates,
other fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices;
Reputation, financial strength, security, and stability;
Prior service to us and our clients.
With this in consideration, our firm recommends Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., a registered
broker-dealer, member FINRA and SIPC (“Schwab”). Although Clients may request us to use a
custodian of their choosing, we generally recommend that Clients open brokerage accounts with
Schwab. We are not affiliated with Schwab. The Client will ultimately make the final decision of
the custodian to be used to hold the Client’s investments by signing the selected custodian’s

Advisor does not have any soft-dollar arrangements with custodians whereby soft-dollar credits,
used to purchase products and services, are earned directly in proportion to the amount of
commissions paid by a Client. However, as a result of being on their institutional platform,
Schwab may provide us with certain services and products that may benefit us. All such soft
dollar benefits are consistent with the safe harbor contained in Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Schwab Advisor Services™ is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory
firms like us. They provide our Clients and us with access to their institutional brokerage
services (trading, custody, reporting, and related services), many of which are not typically
available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services.
Some of those services help us manage or administer our Clients’ accounts, while others help
us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s support services are generally available on an
unsolicited basis (we don’t have to request them) and at no charge to us. The benefits received
by Advisor, or its personnel do not depend on the number of brokerage transactions directed to
Schwab. As part of its fiduciary duties to Clients, Advisor at all times must put the interests of its
Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by Advisor
or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly
influence the Advisor’s choice of Schwab for custody and brokerage services. This conflict of
interest is mitigated as Advisor regularly reviews the factors used to select custodians to ensure
our recommendation is appropriate. Following is a more detailed description of Schwab’s
support services:
Services that benefit you. Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad
range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client assets.
15
The investment products available through Schwab include some to which we might not
otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by
our Clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit you and your
account.
Services that may not directly benefit you. Schwab also makes available to us other products
and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your account. These products
and services assist us in managing and administering our Clients’ accounts. They include
investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may use this research to
service all or a substantial number of our Clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained
at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other
technology that:
provide access to Client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and
account statements)
facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple Client
accounts
facilitate payment of our fees from our Clients’ accounts
provide pricing and other market data
assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and Client reporting
Services that generally benefit only us. Schwab also offers other services intended to help us
manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services include:
Educational conferences and events
Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
Your brokerage and custody costs. For our Clients’ accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab
generally does not charge you separately for custody services but is compensated by charging
you commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or that settle into your Schwab
account. Certain trades (for example, many mutual funds and ETFs) may not incur Schwab
commissions or transaction fees.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We receive no referrals from a custodian, broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using that
custodian, broker-dealer or third party.
Clients Directing Which Broker/Dealer/Custodian to Use
We do recommend a specific custodian for Clients to use, however, Clients may custody their
assets at a custodian of their choice. Clients may also direct us to use a specific custodian to
execute transactions. By allowing Clients to choose a specific custodian, we may be unable to
achieve the most favorable execution of Client transactions and this may cost Clients money
over using a lower-cost custodian.
Aggregating (Block) Trading for Multiple Client Accounts
Investment advisers may elect to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at
approximately the same time when they believe such action may prove advantageous to clients.
16
This process is referred to as aggregating orders, batch trading or block trading. We do not
engage in block trading. It should be noted that implementing trades on a block or aggregate
basis may be less expensive for client accounts; however, it is our trading policy to implement
all client orders on an individual basis. Therefore, we do not aggregate or “block” client
transactions. Considering the types of investments we hold in advisory client accounts, we do
not believe clients are hindered in any way because we trade accounts individually. This is
because we develop individualized investment strategies for clients and holdings will vary. Our
strategies are primarily developed for the long-term and minor differences in price execution are
not material to our overall investment strategy.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Client accounts with the Investment Advisory Service will be reviewed regularly on a quarterly
basis by Joel Huet, Owner, or Kelly Kariker, Sr. Financial Advisor. The account is reviewed with
regards to the Client’s investment policies and risk tolerance levels. Events that may trigger a
special review would be unusual performance, addition or deletions of Client imposed
restrictions, excessive draw-down, volatility in performance, or buy and sell decisions from the
firm or per Client's needs.
Clients will receive trade confirmations from the broker(s) for each transaction in their accounts
as well as monthly or quarterly statements and annual tax reporting statements from their
custodian showing all activity in the accounts, such as receipt of dividends and interest.
WSWM will provide written reports to Investment Advisory Clients on a monthly basis. We urge
Clients to compare these reports against the account statements they receive from their
custodian.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other
Compensation
We do not receive any economic benefit, directly or indirectly, from any third party for advice
rendered to our clients.
Item 15: Custody
WSWM does not hold, directly or indirectly, Client funds or securities, or have any authority to
obtain possession of them. All Client assets are held at a qualified custodian.
If WSWM deducts its advisory fee from Client’s account(s), the following safeguards will be
applied:
i.
ii.
The Client will provide written authorization to WSWM, permitting us to be paid directly
from Client’s accounts held by the custodian.
The custodian will send at least quarterly statements to the Client showing all
disbursements from the accounts, including the amount of the advisory fee.
17
We urge you to carefully review custodial statements and compare them to the account invoices
or reports that we may provide to you and notify us of any discrepancies. Clients are responsible
for verifying the accuracy of these fees as listed on the custodian’s brokerage statement as the
custodian does not assume this responsibility. Our invoices or reports may vary from custodial
statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of
certain securities.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
For those Client accounts where we provide Investment Management Services, we maintain
discretion over Client accounts with respect to securities to be bought and sold and the amount
of securities to be bought and sold. Investment discretion is explained to Clients in detail when
an advisory relationship has commenced. At the start of the advisory relationship, the Client will
execute a Limited Power of Attorney, which will grant our firm discretion over the account.
Additionally, the discretionary relationship will be outlined in the advisory contract and signed by
the Client.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
WSWM does not vote Client proxies. Therefore, Clients maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1)
voting proxies, and (2) acting on corporate actions pertaining to the Client’s investment assets.
The Client shall instruct the Client’s qualified custodian to forward to the Client copies of all
proxies and shareholder communications relating to the Client’s investment assets. If the Client
would like our opinion on a particular proxy vote, they may contact us at the number listed on
the cover of this brochure.
In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from the account custodian. However, in
the event we were to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, we would forward them
directly to you by mail, unless you have authorized our firm to contact you by electronic mail, in
which case, we would forward you any electronic solicitation to vote proxies.
Item 18: Financial Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures about our financial condition. We have no financial commitment that
impairs our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to Clients, and we have not
been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
We do not have custody of Client funds or securities or require or solicit prepayment of more
than $1200 in fees per Client six months in advance of rendering services.
