Brochure Summary

Overview

Page 4 A. Left Brain Wealth Management, LLC Left Brain Wealth Management, LLC (“LBWM” and/or “the firm”), is an Illinois limited liability company. Noland Langford is the firm’s sole member. The firm has been providing investment advisory services since May 2014. B. Advisory Services Offered LBWM is an independent asset management and financial planning firm offering a variety of financial services to individuals, trusts, corporations, partnerships, retirement plans, tax exempt and other legal entities. Discretionary Asset Management Services For its discretionary asset management services, LBWM receives a limited power of attorney to effect securities transactions on behalf of its clients that include securities and strategies described in Item 8 of this brochure. LBWM’s discretionary asset management services are predicated on the client's investment objectives, goals, tolerance for risk, and other personal and financial circumstances. LBWM will analyze each client's current investments, investment objectives, goals, age, time horizon, financial circumstances, investment experience, investment restrictions and limitations, and risk tolerance and implement a portfolio consistent with such investment objectives, goals, risk tolerance and related financial circumstances. LBWM’s objective is to review the client’s tax, financial, and estate planning objectives and goals in connection with the client’s investment objectives, goals, tolerance for risk, and other personal and financial circumstances and make appropriate recommendations and implementation decisions. LBWM may engage third-party service providers to assist with the tax and estate planning portion of the services provided to clients. In addition, LBWM may utilize third-party software to analyze individual security holdings and separate account managers utilized within the client’s portfolio. LBWM’s investment advisory services to clients take into account a client's personal financial circumstances, investment objectives and tolerance for risk (e.g., cash-flow, tax and estate). LBWM’s engagement with a client will include, as appropriate, the following: ▪ Providing assistance in reviewing the client's current investment portfolio against the client's personal and financial circumstances as disclosed to LBWM in response to a questionnaire and/or in discussions with the client and reviewed in meetings with LBWM. ▪ Analyzing the client's financial circumstances, investment holdings and strategy, and goals. ▪ Providing assistance in identifying a targeted asset allocation and portfolio design. ▪ Implementing and/or recommending individual equity and fixed income securities, mutual funds and ETFs. Page 5 ▪ Proposing changes in the client's investment portfolio in consideration of changes in the client's personal circumstances, investment objectives and tolerance for risk, the performance record of any of the client's investments, and/or the performance of any fund retained by the client. ▪ If the client’s portfolio and personal circumstances, investment objectives, and tolerance for risk make such advice appropriate, providing recommendations to hedge a client’s portfolio through the use of derivative strategies, to generate additional income through the use of covered call option writing strategies involving exchange listed or OTC options, and/or to monetize or hedge concentrated stock positions. In addition to providing LBWM with information regarding their personal financial circumstances, investment objectives and tolerance for risk, clients have the right to provide the firm with any reasonable investment restrictions that should be imposed on the management of their portfolio, and to promptly notify the firm in writing of any changes in such restrictions or in the client's personal
financial circumstances, investment objectives, goals and tolerance for risk. On a quarterly basis, LBWM’s reports to clients will remind clients of their obligation to inform the firm of any such changes or any restrictions that should be imposed on the management of the client’s account. LBWM will also contact clients at least annually to determine whether there have been any changes in a client's personal financial circumstances, investment objectives and tolerance for risk. Financial Planning Services In addition to its asset management services, LBWM offers financial planning services. Clients who contract for this service will receive a written or oral report (depending on the client’s preference) providing a basic financial plan designed to help achieve their stated financial goals and objectives. Based on the client’s needs, financial planning services may include (but are not limited to) the following: ▪ Preparation of a recommended asset allocation that serves to diversify the client's portfolio among different categories of investments, such as domestic and international small, medium, and large capitalization securities; corporate and government fixed income (short-, intermediate-, and long-term maturities); emerging market securities (i.e., foreign issuers); real estate investment trusts; and such other alternative asset categories that are suitable in light of the client's investment goals, objectives, and risk tolerance. ▪ Preparation of a retirement plan that serves to identify whether the client is saving enough and investing in a way that meets retirement objectives in light of the client's financial circumstances and risk tolerance. ▪ Preparation of cash flow projections to ensure that the client can meet daily living expenses and obligations. ▪ Insurance planning to meet the needs of the client, taking into account family, business, and other financial objectives of the client. LBWM gathers required information through in-depth personal interviews and questionnaires. Information gathered includes a client's current financial status, investment objectives, future goals, and attitudes toward risk. Related documents supplied by the client are carefully Page 6 reviewed, and a report is prepared covering one or more of the above-mentioned topics as directed by the client. 401(k) Consultative Services Upon completing a questionnaire provided by the firm, LBWM will provide a one-time review of the performance of the client’s 401(k) account and provide the client with a report of the firm’s investment advice, including allocation advice, regarding the investment alternatives offered by the Plan in accordance with the client's risk tolerance and investment goals as set forth in the questionnaire. Fund Portfolio Management LBWM serves as the investment manager to the Left Brain Capital Appreciation Master Fund, LDT; Left Brain Capital Appreciation Fund, L.P.; and Left Brain Capital Appreciation Offshore, LDT (the “Funds”), and continuously manages the Funds’ assets based on the investment goals and objectives as outlined in the Funds’ offering documents. C. Client-Tailored Services and Client-Imposed Restrictions Each client’s account will be managed on the basis of the client’s financial situation and investment objectives and in accordance with any reasonable restrictions imposed by the client on the management of the account—for example, restricting the type or amount of security to be purchased in the portfolio. D. Wrap Fee Programs LBWM does not participate in wrap fee programs, where brokerage commissions and transaction costs are included in the asset-based fee charged to the client. E.
