Description of Services and Fees
We are a registered investment adviser based in Naples, Florida. We are organized as a limited
liability company and we have been providing investment advisory services since 2011. Pasquale
(Pat) Antonetti Jr. is the sole owner of ACM through the Pat Antonetti, Jr. Revocable Living Trust.
Currently, we offer portfolio management and financial planning services which are personalized to
each individual client.
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", "us", and “Advisor” refer to
ACM and the words "you", "your" and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of
our firm. Also, you may see the term Associated Person throughout this brochure. As used in this
brochure, our Associated Persons are our firm's officers, employees, and all individuals providing
investment advice on behalf of our firm.
Our Investment Adviser Representative(s) (“IAR(s)”) may market under a business name of their
choosing. When they do this, they may have their own legal business entities whose business names
and logos appear on marketing materials. The client should understand that the businesses are legal
entities of the IAR and not of ACM. However, Investment Advisory Services of the IARs are provided
through ACM.
Additional information about our arrangement with the IARs can be found on the ADV Part 2B, also
referred to as the brochure supplement which contains information about the educational
background, business experience, and disciplinary history (if any) of the IARs who provide advisory
services to the client.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment
advice is tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for
portfolio management services, we will meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk
tolerance, investment time horizon and other relevant information (the "suitability information") at the
beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the suitability 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. As part of our portfolio management services, we may customize an
investment portfolio for you in accordance with your risk tolerance and investing objectives. We may
also invest your assets according to one or more model portfolios developed by our firm. Once we
construct an investment portfolio for you, or select a model portfolio, we will monitor your portfolio's
performance on an ongoing basis and will rebalance the portfolio as required by changes in market
conditions and in your financial circumstances. You should keep us informed of any changes in your
financial or personal circumstances that could affect our management of your assets.
The Client agrees to permit Advisor to consult with and obtain information from his/her accountant
and/or attorney, which may be relevant in development of and maintaining the Client’s Account(s).
It is at the Advisor’s discretion to determine the value of the information received from the Client’s
accountant and/or attorney, and the Advisor is under no obligation to rely solely on this information.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our
firm discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow our firm to
determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your
account without your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted
by the investment advisory agreement you sign with our firm, a power of attorney, or trading
authorization forms. You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of
securities that can be purchased for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and
guidelines in writing. If you enter into non-discretionary arrangements with our firm, we must obtain
your approval prior to executing any transactions on behalf of your account.
Our fee for discretionary portfolio management services is based on a percentage of assets we
manage and is set forth in the following fee schedules:
Market Value of Account

(Discretionary - Global Total Return)
$ 1 - $1,000,000 0.2500% 1.00%

Market Value of Account Annualized Fee***
(Discretionary - Customized)
Entire market value of account 1.00%
For non-discretionary portfolio management services, we charge a fee of $100 per quarter which
fee may be waived in our sole discretion. This fee
is billed in advance.
*** Some clients may pay fees lower than those stated above. The fee schedules are not blended
meaning you will be charged the specified percentage fee on the value of your entire account not
just the value within the tier.
We require our annual portfolio management fee for discretionary accounts to be billed and payable
quarterly in advance based on the value of your account on the last day of the previous quarter.
If the portfolio management agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a calendar
quarter, our fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is payable in
proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. Our advisory fee is
negotiable, depending on individual client circumstances. Therefore, clients with similar assets
under management and investment objectives may pay significantly higher or lower fees than other
clients.
At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same
household to determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account values
for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related
accounts. Combining account values may increase the asset total, which may result in your paying

a reduced advisory fee based on the available breakpoints in our fee schedule stated above.
You can choose to pay our advisory fee directly or we will deduct our fee directly from your account
through the qualified custodian holding your funds and securities. We will deduct our advisory fee
only when you have given our firm written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from
your account. Further, the qualified custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least
quarterly. These account statements will show all disbursements from your account. You should
review all statements for accuracy.
You may terminate the portfolio management agreement upon written notice to our firm. If you
have pre-paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated refund of
those fees, by check or credit back to your account, in proportion to the number of days in the
quarter for which you were a client. The Client has the right to terminate this Agreement
without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into this Agreement. Thereafter,
either party upon thirty (30) days written notice may terminate this Agreement at any time. This
allows the Advisor sufficient time to finalize transactions and enable the delivery of final
statements and release of documents.
In the event of termination after five (5) business days from the execution of this Agreement or
at any time other than the end of a calendar quarter, Client will be entitled to a pro-rated refund
of any prepaid quarterly advisory fee based upon the number of days remaining in the quarter
after receipt of written notice of cancellation.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on mutual funds, exchange traded funds, equity securities, corporate
debt securities, commercial paper, municipal securities, U.S. Government securities and options.
Additionally, we may advise you on any type of investment that we deem appropriate based on
your stated goals and objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in
your portfolio at the inception of our advisory relationship. You may request that we refrain from
investing in particular securities or certain types of securities. You must provide these restrictions
to our firm in writing.
Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing
retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we
operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest
ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give
loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your
best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
