Overview
Our firm is dedicated to providing individuals and other types of clients with a wide array of
investment advisory services. Our firm is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the
State of California in 2015 and has been in business as an investment adviser since that time. Our
firm is owned by Anastasia Melbrod (33.4%), Scott Melbrod (33.3%), and Wesley Melbrod
(33.3%).
The purpose of this Brochure is to disclose the conflicts of interest associated with the investment
transactions, compensation and any other matters related to investment decisions made by our
firm or its representatives. As a fiduciary, it is our duty to always act in the client’s best interest.
This is accomplished in part by knowing our client. Our firm has established a service-oriented
advisory practice with open lines of communication for many different types of clients to help
meet their financial goals while remaining sensitive to risk tolerance and time horizons. Working
with clients to understand their investment objectives while educating them about our process,
facilitates the kind of working relationship we value.
Types of Advisory Services Offered
ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICES
As part of our Asset Management Service , a portfolio is created, consisting of individual stocks,
bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds and other public and private securities
or investments. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may
include some or all of the previously mentioned securities. Portfolios will be designed to meet a
particular investment goal, determined to be suitable to the client’s circumstances. Once the
appropriate portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and
if necessary, rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives.
FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
MWM may provide its clients with comprehensive financial planning services. Generally, such
services are provided for on an hourly or flat fee, as described under Item 5, below. MWM’s
financial planning services typically include, but are not limited to, providing advice or
recommendations regarding asset allocation; risk management; portfolio analysis; and evaluation
and review of investment accounts. MWM’s approach to financial planning starts
with gathering
information about the clients’ current financial position and objectives. This process involves the
collection, organization, and assessment of all relevant client data including information
concerning the client’s lifestyle, risk tolerance, current assets and cash flow, as well as
identification of the client’s financial concerns, goals, and objectives. Also taken into account and

computed for the client is their human capital and for comparison sake their human capital to
financial capital ratio. This allows a client to have a more complete “Total Wealth” view of their
financial position. The primary objective of this process is to allow MWM to assist the client in
developing a strategy for the successful management of income, assets, and liabilities in order to
meet the client’s individual financial goals and objectives.
Clients have the option of having a complete financial plan developed for them or also just doing a
compartmentalized portion of the entire plan developed depending on their specific needs. Types
of compartmentalized plans include but are not limited to a(n):
• Accumulation Plan
• Retirement Income/Distribution Plan

Tailoring of Advisory Services
INDIVIDUAL TAILORING OF ADVICE TO CLIENTS
Our firm offers individualized investment advice to our Asset Management clients. General
investment advice will be offered to our Financial Planning & Consulting clients.
Each Asset Management client has the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of
investments to be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of
securities may not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the
account.
Participation in a Wrap Fee Program
Our firm does not currently offer or sponsor a Wrap Fee Program service. However, we have
some Legacy Clients currently enrolled in our Wrap Program that are being transitioned into our
Asset Management service.
