ITEM 4 – ADVISORY BUSINESS
Womack Wealth Management, Inc. (“WWM”, “the Firm”, “we”, or “us”) is a corporation
formed under the laws of the State of New Mexico and registered as an investment adviser
with the SEC. The Firm has been in business since 2008 and is headquartered in Manhattan
Beach, California.
Womack Wealth Management, Inc. is 100% owned by Scott H. Womack. He holds the titles of
President and Chief Compliance Officer of the firm and has held these titles since January of 2008
when WWM was incorporated in New Mexico. He currently holds a FINRA Series 65 license.
Womack Wealth Management provides the following types of advisory services:
1. Investment Management and Consulting: Providing guidance to help clients articulate their
goals, financial circumstances and risk parameters then developing appropriately designed
and managed investment portfolios. Services may include:
• Review of current investments
• Overall asset allocation consulting
• Assist in opening account(s) for asset custody through brokerages, trust
companies, and/or banks
• Development of an Investment Policy Statement (IPS), outlining risk
tolerance, risk capacity, investment objectives, allowable investment
classes, and other investment criteria
• Periodic review and rebalancing
• Quarterly performance reporting
WWM portfolio design is based in part on the tenets of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) and,
in part, on Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH). Portfolios consist predominantly of
structured asset class no-load mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks, bonds (and other fixed
income investments), real estate/REITs, commodity asset class exposure (generally within
ETF’s, mutual funds, and other investment vehicles), and alternative investments. The
minimum account size accepted for the Investment Management and Consulting Services is
$250,000.
Use of Third-Party Money Managers
WWM may refer clients to other investment advisers for money management services.
WWM does not accept any referral fees from third party money managers. In addition to
the Advisory agreement between WWM and the client, the client will also receive and sign a
4
management agreement with the third-party managers. Any fees charged by third-party
managers to the client will be in addition to the WWM advisory fees.
Employee Benefit Retirement Plan Services
WWM provides advisory services to pensions and profit sharing plans for the design,
implementation, and/or investment management of the plans. WWM will recommend
investment options to be included in the retirement plan, monitor performance, provide
participant enrollment/education meetings if requested by the client, and recommend
changes as needed. For existing retirement/benefits plans, WWM will review the overall
design, current investment options, administrative platforms, TPA providers, expenses,
investment policy statements (IPS), etc. and will provide recommendations for any areas of
improvement.
Institutional Investment Consulting
Available to foundations, endowments, Native American tribes, and qualified retirement
ERISA plans, WWM will provide counsel on overall investment plan design, asset allocation
modeling, investment advisor searches, and due diligence on mutual funds, ETF’s, money
managers, and individual holdings. Investment consulting, for the purpose of this
description, does NOT involve management of the underlying securities but involves
assisting in the selection on a non-discretionary basis of separate advisors, mutual funds,
and others, who may manage the actual assets/investments.
2. Wealth Planning and Management: Design and guidance in the implementation of
coordinated strategies involving comprehensive financial planning, estate and tax planning
advice, risk management/insurance planning, and investment management, in a holistic
"family office"-style team structure. While stand-alone Financial Planning Services (see
description below) emphasizes plan design with less concentration on guiding the
implementation, Wealth Planning and Management services are ongoing advisory
relationships with a focus on both the planning aspects and the implementation and
management. Wealth Planning and Management integrates WWM's Investment
Management and Consulting services with WWM's Financial Planning Services.
Wealth Planning and Management services are typically available to clients with at least
$1,000,000 in liquid assets. For clients requiring more complex "family office" level wealth
management, assets should typically be in excess of $20,000,000.
3. Financial Planning Services: Financial Planning is available as an integral part of WWM's
Wealth Planning and Management services or as a stand-alone service. When engaged as a
stand-alone service, a client may also separately engage WWM Investment Management
5
and Consulting services but is under no obligation to do so. Fees for the separate
services will be independent of one another. Financial Planning Services may include
the following:
• Assisting clients assess and define their goals, concerns, and priorities
then designing a plan, integrating these items with their state of finances
and risk tolerance
• Review of assets, debt, cash flow, net worth, projected earnings, and
expenses
• Risk management including a review of ownership structures (trusts, LLC’s,
LLP’s, family limited partnerships, corporations, etc.), insurance analysis
(health, long-term care, life, disability, property and casualty, umbrella,
business continuity, etc.), and consulting for concentrated stock positions,
and closely held businesses
• Retirement income planning
• Education expense and investment planning
• Analysis of employee benefits provided by client's employer
• Design of employer benefits program for client business owners
(managed under separate engagement)
• Estate planning advice
4. Turn-Key Asset Management Services for Advisors: Turn-key services for advisors who
wish to outsource back-office functions of their practice. Two service levels are
available: Level One, in which WWM provides back office administrative support but
does not handle direct portfolio management for the advisors; and, Level Two, in which
WWM provides back office administrative support AND portfolio management (through
"Sub-Advisory Investment Management Services", separately engaged by an advisor with
WWM - see below for description).
5. Sub-Advisory Investment Management Services for Advisors: WWM offers investment
sub-advisory services to unaffiliated investment advisers. Unaffiliated RIAs may choose to
engage WWM's Sub-Advisory Services for investment management of some or all of their
clients' assets. WWM shall have day-to-day responsibility for the active discretionary
management of the allocated assets through a limited power of attorney from the
unaffiliated advisor's client. The unaffiliated advisor RIA shall continue to render
investment advisory services to the client relative to the ongoing monitoring and review
of account performance, asset allocation and client investment objectives.
WRAP FEE PROGRAMS
Womack Wealth Management does not participate in wrap fee programs.

Assets under Management
As of October 23, 2025, Womack Wealth Management managed approximately
$402,592,001 of client assets. $388,644,900 are managed on a discretionary basis
and $13,947,101 are managed on a non-discretionary basis.
ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION
An introductory in-person meeting, deo conference, or phone call, to discuss a potential
client's advisory needs and to describe our services, will not incur a fee. If, after the initial
meeting, the potential client would like to engage our services and we believe they could
be well served by our services, an engagement agreement and fee schedule will be
proposed. All fees and minimums are negotiable at the discretion of the advisor.
Investment Management and Consulting fees are based on the amount of assets under
management (AUM) for a client per the fee schedule listed below. Adjustments to this fee
schedule may be made on a client-by-client basis for various reasons such as advice related to
non-standard assets and other factors affecting scope and complexity.
Wealth Planning and Management fees are based on AUM, fixed (retainer) fees, and/or
hourly fees (for non-recurring, special advisory projects) all of which are defined in
individual client agreements. The complexity of the client’s situation and the scope of
advisory services to be provided are considered when establishing the appropriate fees for
the services.
Assets under Management
Advisory Fee
1.2%
1.0%
0.7%
0.5%

First $500,000
On assets in excess of $500,000 but less than
or equal to $2,000,000
On assets in excess of $2,000,000 but less than
or equal to $3,000,000
On assets in excess of $3,000,000 but less than
or equal to $5,000,000
On assets in excess of $5,000,000 but less than
or equal to $50,000,000
On assets greater than $50,000,000.
negotiable
WWM fees are invoiced and drawn from client accounts each quarter in-advance (with
some exceptions where billing in-arrears is maintained for some WWM clients who moved
from a prior advisor where they were previously billed in-arrears). When billed in-advance,
if a client terminates prior to the quarter-end, WWM will return the pro-rata share of the
fee to the client. For clients billed in-arrears, if a client terminates prior to the quarter-end,
7
WWM will collect a pro-rata share of the fee earned to the date of termination.
Adjustments to the fee may be made if there has been a substantial capital in-flow or out-
flow within the quarter. These adjustments would be detailed on the invoice copy sent to
the client. In cases of accounts subject to certain state related taxes (such as gross receipts
tax), WWM may collect the tax at the time of the fee bill.
Advice may be provided for held-away assets (for assets not held in accounts where WWM
can directly affect transactions). The size, complexity and service related to the held-away
assets will all be considered when fees are established and would be defined in the client
agreement.
Financial Planning Services fees are established as a fixed one-time fee, or an ongoing fixed
flat fee, and/or hourly fees.
Hourly rates range from $50/hour to $500/hour depending on the complexity of the
services and the staff level providing the services.
Retirement Plan Rollover Recommendations - When leaving an employer, clients typically
have four options regarding their existing retirement plan: (1) leave the assets in the
former employer’s plan, if permitted, (2) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if
one is available and rollovers are permitted, (3) roll over the assets to an Individual
Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (4) take a full withdrawal in cash, which would result in
ordinary income tax and a penalty tax if the person is under age 59 1/2. At times, as part of
its services, the Firm recommends that clients roll over their 401(k) or other qualified plan
assets to an IRA, this rollover recommendation presents a conflict of interest in that the
Firm would receive compensation (or may increase current compensation) when
investment advice is provided following the client’s decision to roll over plan assets. Clients
who have assets in retirement accounts elsewhere would potentially pay a larger fee if
rolled into an IRA or Roth IRA with WWM as the adviser. WWM will only recommend
rollovers if it’s deemed in the best interest of the client. Instances where it may be in the
best interest of the client include, but are not limited to, simplifying their account
management (reduce the number of retirement accounts), having professional
management of their account, limited investment options at current retirement plan,
and/or high administrative fees. Prior to deciding, each client should carefully review the
information regarding rollover options and are under no obligation to rollover retirement
plan assets to an account managed by WWM.
Turn-Key Asset Management Services for Advisors fees are negotiated on a case-by-case
basis, based on the complexity of the administrative functions, number of administrative
services requested, advisor revenues, asset size, and other variables.
8
Sub-Advisory Investment Management Services for Advisors fees are negotiated on a case-
by-case basis, based on the complexity of the portfolios, restrictions placed on the portfolio,
asset size, and other variables. Fees may be lower on Sub-Advisory services than to other
direct clients of WWM for similar levels of assets due to the limited scope of service and
other factors under the Sub-Advisory relationship.
COMPENSATION FOR SALE OF SECURITIES OR OTHER INVESTMENT PRODUCTS
WWM and all supervised persons do not accept compensation for the sale, referral, or
marketing of any securities or investment products.
Objectivity of advice. In order to remove potential conflicts of interest when advising clients,
WWM and its individual advisors and employees do not accept fees, commissions or other
compensation from any other party than the client.
ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCED BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
WWM does not charge any performance-based fees and does no side-by-side management.
ITEM 7 – TYPE OF CLIENTS
WWM manages investment portfolios for individuals, pension and profit sharing plans,
trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and business entities.
ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
WWM uses numerous sources of analysis to determine recommendations for client
portfolios and investment strategies.
Most of WWM’s services are based on long-term investment strategies incorporating the
principles of Modern Portfolio Theory. WWM’s investment approach is rooted in the belief
that markets are relatively efficient over long periods of time and that investors’ long-term
returns are determined principally by asset allocation decisions, rather than market timing
or stock picking. WWM generally selects or recommends portfolios of securities consisting
principally of broadly traded, open-end mutual funds, ETF’s, fixed income securities and
individual equities.
Clients may hold or retain other types of assets as well, and WWM may offer advice
regarding those various assets as part of its services.
In the development of investment plans for clients, including the recommendation of an
appropriate asset allocation, WWM relies on an analysis of the clients’ financial objectives,
current and estimated future resources, and tolerance for risk.
9
WWM’s security analysis is based on several criteria, including academic research and
literature, commercially available data sources and software (or web-based) technology,
securities rating services, general market and financial information, internal due diligence
and specific client-requested investment analysis.
Investment strategies may include the use of long-term purchases, short term purchases,
and trading (securities sold within 30 days). Margin transactions and options writing may
be used if appropriate to client risk tolerance, objectives, and individual needs.
WWM’s strategies do not generally recommend frequent trading which could increase costs
and taxes.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that client should be prepared to bear.
Recommendations to advisory clients are reviewed to confirm the suitability of the product
in regard to each client’s portfolio objectives, time frames, and risk tolerance, as well as any
other relevant restrictions or circumstances.
ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
The Owner and Principal(s) have not been involved in any material legal or disciplinary
events related to past or present investment clients or investors. There are no disciplinary
issues that are currently reportable to any State Securities Agency, the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Neither
the Owner, Principal(s), nor Womack Wealth Management, Inc. have any unsettled current.
or pending actions, civil or criminal or administrative with domestic or foreign courts, or
self-regulatory authorities.
ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Womack Business Management, Inc.: Mr. Scott Womack is the Chief Executive Officer and
President of Womack Business Management Inc. (WBM), a separate but affiliated company
(through Mr. Womack's common ownership). Clients of Womack Wealth Management may
freely choose to engage Womack Business Management, Inc. for their business
management and (non-investment) family office services. Womack Business Management,
Inc., also may suggest that a client engage Womack Wealth Management, Inc. for
investment advisory services. Clients may choose to engage either company for the
respective services provided by each but are under no obligation to engage any service from
either independent company.
There are no referral fees paid from Womack Business Management, Inc. to WWM, or from
WWM to Womack Business Management, Inc.
10
Mr. Womack’s position in both companies may create a conflict of interest, however the
conflict is fully disclosed to clients and each company is separately incorporated, has
separate financial books and records and has separate associated personnel.
Robert S. Seltzer, C.P.A./P.F.S.: Investment Advisor Representative Robert Seltzer, an
associate of Womack Wealth Management, also owns and operates a separate California C-
Corporation, "Seltzer Business Management, Inc.", which provides tax, accounting, and
business consulting/management services. Tax, accounting, and other services provided by
Robert S. Seltzer, CPA/PFS's CPA firm are engaged independently of the separate and
d i s t i n c t services of Womack Wealth Management, and are provided for separate and
typical compensation. Womack Wealth Management does not provide tax preparation
services.
Womack Business Management (owned by Mr. Womack - see above) has assisted in WBM
clients engaging Robert S. Seltzer's CPA firm (among other firms) in the past and may
continue to do so in the future but neither WWM, WBM, nor our clients are under any
obligation to engage his CPA firm's services. Additionally, no referral fees are paid by WWM,
WBM or Robert S. Seltzer, CPA/PFS between any of the parties within this group. Robert S.
Seltzer, CPA/PFS, may refer his tax and accounting clients to WWM for fiduciary investment
consulting and wealth management/planning services for which he would serve as the
Investment Advisor Representative of WWM.
Mr. Seltzer’s position in both companies may create a conflict of interest, however the
conflict is fully disclosed to clients and each company is separately incorporated, has
separate financial books and records and has separate associated personnel.
ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS
WWM has adopted a Code of Ethics based upon the principle that officers and employees
of WWM owe a fiduciary duty to clients for whom WWM acts as investment adviser or sub-
adviser. Accordingly, officers and employees of WWM are responsible for conducting
personal trading activities in a manner that does not interfere with a client’s portfolio
transactions or take improper advantage of a relationship with any client.
The fundamental position of the Adviser is that, in effecting personal securities transactions,
personnel of the Adviser must place at all times the interests of clients ahead of their own
pecuniary interests. All personal securities transactions by these persons must be
conducted in accordance with the Code of Ethics and in a manner to avoid any actual or
potential conflict of interest or any abuse of any person’s position of trust and
responsibility. Further, these persons should not take inappropriate advantage of their
positions with or on behalf of a client.
11
Employees of the firm are generally precluded from buying or selling securities for their
personal portfolio(s) if their decision is substantially derived, from information obtained
through his or her employment unless the information relating to the investment decision is
also available to the investing public on reasonable inquiry.
WWM employees are directed to abide by and act in accordance with all applicable Federal
and State regulations. Individuals who fail to comply with the firm's policies and procedures
may be subject to sanctions and disciplinary action, including termination of employment.
WWM’s policy allows employees to maintain and trade in personal securities accounts
provided any personal investing by an employee in any accounts in which the employee has
a beneficial interest, including any accounts for any immediate family or household
members, is consistent with WWM’s fiduciary duty to its clients and consistent with
regulatory requirements. WWM’s policy encourages investment freedom and fosters a
continuing personal interest in investments for WWM’s employees who are responsible for
the supervision and management of client portfolios.
The key elements of WWM’s Code of Ethics can be summarized as follows:
• WWM expressly prohibits Supervised Persons from placing his or her
interests ahead of its advisory clients.
• WWM’s Supervised Persons are not permitted to benefit at the expense of a
client with respect to a transaction in a security on the same-day any client
purchases or sells the same security, except for certain inadvertent same-day
transactions exempted by the President or Chief Compliance Officer.
• Supervised Persons’ reportable personal securities transactions are to be
submitted to the Chief Compliance Officer for review regarding compliance
with WWM’s Code of Ethics.
• Supervised Persons are discouraged from conducting frequent personal
trading.
• Supervised persons are generally prohibited from serving as board members of
publicly traded companies unless an exception has been granted by the Chief
Compliance Officer.
• Prior written permission by the WWM President or Chief Compliance Officer is
required before an employee can accept any outside employment.
• WWM’s employees generally may not give or accept gifts and entertainment that
are inappropriate or could be seen as overly generous or which could influence
employee decision-making. In the normal course of business, WWM may provide
gifts and gratuities to various individuals or entities such as clients, vendors,
consultants, and service providers. These gifts and gratuities are not premised
upon any potential benefit to WWM.
12
• WWM’s employees may invest in unregistered investment funds that WWM has
recommended to clients, but only with the prior written permission of the Chief
Compliance Officer.
A copy of the complete WWM Code of Ethics is available to any client or prospective client
upon request.
ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES
WWM has relationships with Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC and Charles Schwab to act as
custodians for client assets and securities.
FIDELITY SERVICES
Womack Wealth Management is independently operated and owned and is not affiliated
with Fidelity.
WWM has an arrangement with National Financial Services LLC and Fidelity Brokerage
Services LLC (collectively, and together with all affiliates, "Fidelity") through which Fidelity
provides WWM with institutional platform services. The institutional platform services
include, among others, brokerage, custody, and other related services. Fidelity's
institutional platform services that assist WWM in managing and administering clients'
accounts include software and other technology that (i) provide access to client account
data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution
and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide research,
pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment of fees from its clients' accounts; and
(v) assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
Fidelity also offers other services intended to help WWM manage and further develop its
advisory practice. Such services include, but are not limited to, performance reporting,
financial planning, contact management systems, third party research, publications, access
to educational conferences, roundtables and webinars, practice management resources,
access to consultants and other third-party service providers who provide a wide array of
business related services and technology with whom WWM may contract directly.
Fidelity generally does not charge its advisor clients separately for custody services but is
compensated by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related or
asset-based fees for securities trades that are executed through Fidelity or that settle into
Fidelity accounts (i.e., transactions fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds,
commissions are charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions). Fidelity
provides access to many ETFs and no-load mutual funds without transaction charges and
other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges.
13
Fidelity is providing WWM with certain brokerage and research products and services that
qualify as "brokerage or research services" under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").
SCHWAB SERVICES
Womack Wealth Management is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated
with Schwab.
WWM does not maintain custody of your assets that we manage at Charles Schwab & Co.
Inc. (Schwab); although we may be deemed to have custody of your assets if you give us
authority to withdraw assets from your account (see Item 15 – Custody, below). Your assets
must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker-dealer or
bank. We may recommend that our clients use Schwab, a registered broker-dealer, member
SIPC, as the qualified custodian. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and
buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. While we may recommend that you use
Schwab as custodian/broker, you will decide whether to do so and will open your account
with Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with them. We do not open
the account for you, although we may assist you in doing so. Even though your account is
maintained at Schwab, we can still use other brokers to execute trades for your account as
described below (see “Your Brokerage and Custody Costs”).
We seek to recommend or select a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute
transactions on terms that are, overall, most advantageous when compared to other
available providers and their services. We consider a wide range of factors, including,
among others:
• 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
14
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability
• Prior service to us and our other clients
• Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed
below (see “Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab”)
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. This commitment
benefits you because the overall commission rates you pay are lower than they would be
otherwise. In addition to commissions, Schwab charges you a flat dollar amount as a “prime
broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that we have executed by a different broker-
dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited
(settled) into your Schwab account. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other
compensation you pay the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize
your trading costs, we have Schwab execute most trades for your account. We have
determined that having Schwab execute most trades for assets held at Schwab is consistent
with our duty to seek “best execution” of your trades. Best execution means the most
favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above.
Schwab Advisor Services™ (formerly called Schwab Institutional®) is Schwab’s business
serving independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide us and our clients with
access to its institutional brokerage—trading, custody, reporting, and related services—
many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes
available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our
clients’ accounts; while others help us manage and grow our business.
Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment
products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment
products available through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have
access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our
clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit you and your
account.
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:
15
• 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
• Provide pricing and other market data
• Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts
• Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting
• Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop
our business enterprise. These services include:
o Educational conferences and events
o Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
o Publications and conferences on practice management and business
succession
o Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and
insurance providers
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-
party vendors to provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for
some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide
us with other benefits, such as occasional business entertainment of our personnel.
Aggregated Trades
WWM utilizes the trading platform provided by ORION Advisor Services. This platform allows
WWM to improve efficiency by offering multiple trading options including transaction
aggregation in order to help meet our responsibility to seek best execution for Clients (which
includes the duty to seek best price), by executing block trades. It is possible that multiple
aggregate transactions in a security could be executed within the same business day. No
WWM Client will be favored over any other Client in the allocation of a specific block trade;
each Client that takes part in an aggregated order will participate at the average share price
for all WWM clients included in that aggregated transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the order may be allocated on a different basis as long as all
Client accounts receive fair and equitable treatment.
ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Scott Womack, President and Chief Compliance Officer and/or associated persons, review
all accounts on a daily basis by assessing global cash balance reports reflecting all deposits,
withdrawals, buys, sells, calls, redemptions, etc. More in-depth reviews of accounts will
take place at least quarterly and other ad hoc reviews may be necessary due to the client’s
16
individual circumstances, economic conditions, or general factors affecting specific
investments.
Clients are encouraged to review investment management, consulting, planning, and/or
other related advisory services provided by WWM on an annual basis. This may be done in
person, by phone or other means of communication.
All clients (except those utilizing employee benefit retirement plan services) will receive,
and/or have digital access to, quarterly performance reports prepared by WWM which
summarize the client’s account(s) and asset allocation among other details. Clients should
also receive monthly and/or quarterly statements from their account custodian.
ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
WWM and its employees do not accept compensation for client referrals, nor pay
compensation for client referrals.
WWM may, from time to time, receive expense reimbursements for travel and/or marketing
expenses from distributors of investment and/or insurance products. Travel expense
reimbursements are typically a result of attendance at due diligence and/or investment
training events hosted by product sponsors. Marketing expense reimbursements are
typically the result of informal expense sharing arrangements in which product sponsors may
underwrite costs incurred for marketing such as client appreciation events, advertising,
publishing, and seminar expenses. Although receipt of these travel and marketing expense
reimbursements are not predicated upon specific sales quotas, the product sponsor
reimbursements are typically made by those sponsors for which sales have been made or for
which it is anticipated sales will be made. This creates a conflict of interest in that there is an
incentive to recommend certain products and investments based on the receipt of these
reimbursements instead of what is in the best interest of our clients. We attempt to control
for this conflict by always basing investment decisions on the individual needs of our clients.
The other professional compensation Mr. Womack receives in addition to his WWM
advisory business is compensation from Womack Business Management, Inc., a separate
business owned and operated by Mr. Womack.
ITEM 15 - CUSTODY
Clients should receive statements monthly or quarterly, digitally or by regular mail, from the
broker-dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that holds and maintains our clients’
investment assets. WWM urges clients to carefully review these statements and compare
such official custodial records to the account statements and portfolio reports that WWM
17
provides. Our reports may vary from custodial statements based on accounting
procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities.
WWM may also be deemed to have custody over the funds and securities of accounts for
which it or its related persons have power of attorney, bank signatory powers, login
credentials for investment or other accounts, and/or serve as trustee.
ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION
WWM must be provided with written authority to determine which securities and the
amounts of securities that are to be bought or sold. Any limitations on this discretionary
authority shall be included in the written advisory agreement. Clients may amend these
limitations as desired so long as such amendments are submitted in writing.
ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
As a matter of firm policy and practice, WWM does not accept the authority to and does
not vote proxies on behalf of advisory clients. However, money managers we may select
may vote proxies for a client. Therefore, except in the event a money manager votes
proxies, the client retains the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all
securities maintained in client portfolios. Client shall instruct their qualified custodians
and/or the issuers of securities held in client's investment portfolios (whichever applies) to
deliver to the client all applicable proxies and shareholder communications relating to the
client's investment assets. However, WWM in some cases, when specifically requested, may
provide advice to client regarding the client's' voting of proxies.
ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs) are required to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures about the RIA’s financial condition. WWM has no financial
commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to
clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. WWM does not require
prepayment of $1,200 or more in fees six months or more in advance for any of the
Company’s services.
