Description of Firm
Dudley Capital Management LLC is a registered investment adviser based in Middleburg, Virginia. We
are organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of Delaware, and our
firm has been providing investment advisory services since 2017. Dudley Capital Management LLC is
wholly-owned by Philip R.C. Dudley.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Please refer to the description of each
investment advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your
individual needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to Dudley Capital
Management LLC and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective
client of our firm.
Portfolio Management Services
Our firm offers portfolio management services for clients that consist of ongoing financial advice and
discretionary portfolio management services where investment advice is tailored to meet your
individual circumstances and investment objectives. These services include an initial discovery
consultation, ongoing review consultations, as may be agreed, to discuss your unique financial
situation and changing needs over time. We may also provide financial planning and consulting
services on a complimentary basis as part of our portfolio management services. We will ask that you
complete certain investor questionnaires, on-boarding forms, and/or other documents to assist us in
gathering information about your financial needs and circumstances. This would include your
investment experience, investment objectives, time horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance, tax
circumstances, and various other financial factors necessary for us to develop a complete investor
profile.
Based on our evaluation of the foregoing factors, we will use the information we gather to develop a
strategy that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment advice and/or to make
investments on your behalf. Once we construct an investment portfolio for you we will monitor your
portfolio's performance on an ongoing basis and will rebalance the portfolio as appropriate. Clients are
required to notify our firm immediately if their financial circumstances and/or investment objectives
change from what has already been disclosed to our firm.
If you enter into discretionary arrangements with our firm, you must grant our firm discretion over the
selection and amount of securities to be purchased or sold for your account(s) before we can buy or
sell securities on your behalf. Discretionary authority enables our firm to execute transactions within
your account without obtaining your consent or approval prior to each transaction. You may specify
investment objectives, guidelines, and/or impose certain conditions or investment parameters for your
account(s).
For information on the investment strategies, our methods of analysis, and how we might manage your
account(s), please see Item 8 (Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss section) of
this Disclosure Brochure.
As part of our portfolio management services, we offer various levels of advisory and consulting
services to employee benefit plans and to the participants of such plans ("Participants"). The services
are designed to assist plan sponsors ("Plan Sponsors") in meeting their
management and fiduciary
obligations to the Participants under the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act ("ERISA"). In all
cases, Plan Sponsors must make the ultimate decision to retain our firm for pension consulting and
other advisory services. The Plan Sponsor is free to seek independent advice about the
appropriateness of any recommended services for the plan.

When working with Plan level engagements where we act as the Investment Manager to the Plan, we
shall have discretionary investment authority to direct the core investments to be offered to plan
participants in a manner that is consistent with the criteria set forth between the Plan and our firm that
has been approved by the Plan Sponsor, or other plan fiduciary. Such authority will include ability to
select, monitor, remove and replace all investment alternatives that constitute the core investment
menu. In cases where we provide instructions directly to the Plan's record keeper or third-party
administrator with regard to the removal, or replacement, of investments, we will provide the Plan
Sponsor with a report containing the basis for those decisions.
In rendering Investment Management Services or any other ERISA Discretionary Fiduciary Service, we
will act as an ERISA fiduciary and will serve as an investment manager as defined in Section 3(38) of
ERISA, and as a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act. We shall retain final decision-making
authority with regard to all ERISA Discretionary Fiduciary Services, and the Plan fiduciaries remain
responsible for demonstrating that our firm was prudently selected and monitored.
We may also provide additional types of pension consulting services to plans on an individually
negotiated basis. All services, whether discussed above or customized for the plan based upon
requirements from the plan fiduciaries (which may include additional plan-level or participant-level
services) shall be detailed in a written agreement and be consistent with the parameters set forth in the
plan documents.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
We provide financial planning and consulting services as a stand-alone service where we offer
modular, consultative, and/or broad-based financial planning services. These services
generally involve a variety of advisory services regarding the management of the client's financial
resources based upon an analysis of their individual needs. If you retain our firm for these services, we
will meet with you to gather information about your financial circumstances and objectives. As required,
we will conduct follow-up interviews for the purpose of reviewing and/or collecting additional financial
data. Once such information has been reviewed and analyzed, we will provide you with our
recommendations designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals and objectives.
Our recommendations are based on your financial situation at the time we provide our
recommendations, and on the financial information you provide to our firm. You will always have the
right to accept or reject our recommendations. All terms of the engagement, including specific services
to be performed, will be evidenced in a written agreement between you and our firm.
