Description of Firm
Alexander Capital Wealth Management, LLC ("ACWM") is a registered investment adviser primarily
based in Red Bank, NJ. We were formed on January 23, 2012 and are organized as a limited liability
company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of NY. We have been providing investment advisory
services since 2014. The firm's principal owners are Rocco Guidicipietro and Joseph Amato.
As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to Alexander Capital Wealth
Management LLC 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 in this brochure. Our Associated
Persons are our firm's officers, employees, and all individuals providing investment advice on behalf of
our firm.
We offer portfolio management services through a selection of wrap-fee programs ("Program") as
described in this wrap fee program brochure to prospective and existing clients. We are the sponsor
and investment adviser for the Program. A wrap-fee program is a type of investment program that
provides clients with asset management and brokerage services for one all-inclusive fee. If you
participate in our wrap fee program, you will pay our firm a single fee, which includes money
management fees, certain transaction costs, and custodial and administrative costs. You are not
charged separate fees for the respective components of the total services. We receive a portion of the
wrap fee for our services. The overall cost you will incur if you participate in our wrap fee program may
be higher or lower than you might incur by separately purchasing the types of securities available in
the Program.
Prior to becoming a client under the Program, you will be required to enter into a separate written
agreement with us that sets forth the terms and conditions of the engagement and describes the scope
of the services to be provided, and the fees to be paid.
Client Investment Process
We provide discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services in accordance with
your individual investment objectives. If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management
services, we require you to grant our firm discretionary authority to manage your account. Subject to a
grant of discretionary authorization, we have the authority and responsibility to formulate investment
strategies on your behalf. This authorization includes deciding which securities to buy and sell, when to
buy and sell, and in what amounts, in accordance with your investment program, without obtaining
your prior consent or approval for each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the
investment advisory agreement you sign with our firm and/or through 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.

The Program Fee
The annual management fee charged for wrap fee programs will be negotiated with each client. Fees
range from 0.25% - 2.00% on assets under management of which either
Envestnet | Placemark will
receive a percentage. The calculation of the fee is based on the value of your assets being managed
as determined by
Envestnet | Placemark or
Morning Star Managed Portfolios.
The percentage
received by Envestnet | Placemark will not increase the overall fee paid by you on the account. The
initial fee for each wrap fee program is calculated on a prorated basis based on the number of days in
the billing period. Ongoing fees are calculated in advance, on a quarterly or monthly basis as required
by the Manager on the account and charged by Envestnet | Placemark in advance, and are
automatically deducted from the client's account, as authorized by the client in writing; alternatively,
clients may choose to receive direct billing. There is no minimum fee for investing on the Envestnet |
Placemark platform.
Our annual portfolio management fee is billed and payable quarterly or monthly in advance based on
the account balance at end of billing period. Our advisory fee is negotiable, depending on individual
client circumstances.
In some cases, we may charge a fixed fee for portfolio management. Fixed fees will be negotiable,
agreed upon and documented in our advisory agreement with the client.
As a client, you should be aware that the wrap fee charged by our firm may be higher (or lower) than
those charged by others in the industry, and that it may be possible to obtain the same or similar
services from other firms at lower (or higher) rates. A client may be able to obtain some or all of the
types of services available through our firm's wrap fee program on an individual basis through other
firms and, depending on the circumstances, the aggregate of any separately paid fees may be lower or
higher than the annual fees shown above.
You have the ability to cancel your agreement with us, without penalty, within five (5) business days of
entering into the agreement.
Changes in Your Financial Circumstances
In providing the contracted services, we are not required to verify any information we receive from you
or from your other professionals (e.g., attorney, accountant, etc.) and we are expressly authorized to
rely on the information you provide. Furthermore, unless you indicate to the contrary, we shall assume
that there are no restrictions on our services, other than to manage your account in accordance with
your designated investment objectives. It is responsibility to promptly notify us if there are ever any
changes in your financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of
reviewing/evaluating/revising our previous recommendations and/or services.
Withdrawal of Assets
You may withdraw account assets on notice to our firm, and subject to the usual and customary
securities settlement procedures. However, we design our portfolios as long-term investments and
asset withdrawals may impair the achievement of your specific investment objectives.

Termination of Advisory Relationship
You may terminate the wrap fee program agreement upon days' written notice to our firm. You will
incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the wrap fee program
agreement, which means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of days in the
quarter for which you are a client. If you have pre-paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you
will receive a prorated refund of those fees.
Wrap Fee Program Disclosures
•The benefits under a wrap fee program depend, in part, upon the size of the Account, the
management fee charged, and the number of transactions likely to be generated in the
Account. For example, a wrap fee program may not be suitable for Accounts with little trading
activity. In order to evaluate whether a wrap fee program is suitable for you, you should
compare the Program Fee and any other costs of the Program with the amounts that would be
charged by other advisers, broker-dealers, and custodians, for advisory fees, brokerage and
other execution costs, and custodial services comparable to those provided under the Program.
•In considering the investment programs described in this brochure, you should be aware that
participating in a wrap fee program may cost more or less than the cost of purchasing advisory,
brokerage, and custodial services separately from other advisers or broker-dealers.
•Our firm and Associated Persons receive compensation as a result of your participation in the
Program. This compensation may be more than the amount our firm or the Associated Persons
would receive if you paid separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other services.
Accordingly, a conflict of interest exists because our firm and our Associated Persons have a
financial incentive to recommend the Program.
•Similar advisory services may be available from other registered investment advisers for lower
fees.
Additional Fees and Expenses
The Program Fee includes the costs of brokerage commissions for transactions executed through the
Qualified Custodian (or a broker-dealer designated by the Qualified Custodian), and charges relating to
the settlement, clearance, or custody of securities in the Account. The Program Fee does not include
mark-ups and mark-downs, dealer spreads or other costs associated with the purchase or sale of
securities, interest, taxes, or other costs, such as national securities exchange fees, charges for
transactions not executed through the Qualified Custodian, costs associated with exchanging
currencies, wire transfer fees, or other fees required by law or imposed by third parties. The use of
margin creates additional expenses as interest is charged by the custodian on the amount borrowed.
The Account will be responsible for these additional fees and expenses.
The wrap program fees that you pay to our firm for portfolio management services are separate and
distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or exchange traded funds (described in
each fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will generally include a management fee and
other fund expenses. To fully understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all the fees
charged by mutual funds, exchange traded funds, our firm, and others.
Brokerage Practices
If you participate in the Envestnet | Placemark , you will be required to open a brokerage account with
a qualified custodian that has a relationship with Envestnet | Placemark, respectively. Envestnet |
Placemark maintain relationships with several broker/dealers and qualified custodians. Since the
approved custodians are dictated by Envestnet | Placemark and not our firm you will be required to
use one of their custodians. We will not be able to offer our advisory services under a wrap fee
program to you if you wish to use a custodian not included on Envestnet | Placemark approved list.

We believe that the respective broker dealers used by the Envestnet | Placemark provide quality
execution services based on several factors, including, but not limited to, the ability to provide
professional services, reputation, experience and financial stability.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other compensation,
such as brokerage services or research.
Assets Under Management
As of Febuary 9, 2024 we provide continuous management services for $120,789,910 in client assets
on a discretionary basis and $0 in client assets on a non-discretionary basis.
