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. Upon client request, our firm provides a summary of observations and recommendations for the planning or consulting aspects of this service. Our firm also provides retirement plan consulting services to employer plan sponsors on an ongoing basis. Generally, such consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in establishing, monitoring, and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include: investment options, plan structure and participant education. Retirement Plan Consulting services typically include:
• Establishing an Investment Policy Statement – Our firm will assist in the development a statement that summarizes the investment goals and objectives along with the broad strategies to be employed to meet the objectives.
• Investment Options – Our firm will work with the Plan Sponsor to evaluate existing investment options and make recommendations for appropriate changes.

All retirement plan consulting services shall be in compliance with the applicable state laws regulating retirement consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are retirement or other employee benefit plans (“Plan”) governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the client accounts are part of a Plan, and our firm accept appointments to provide services to such accounts, our firm acknowledges its fiduciary standard within the meaning of Section 3(21) or 3(38) of ERISA as designated by the Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement with respect to the provision of services described therein.

Written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients. Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client. Our firm provides clients with a summary of their financial situation, and observations for financial planning engagements. Financial consultations are not typically accompanied by a written summary of observations and recommendations, as the process is less formal than the planning service. Assuming that all the information and documents requested from the client are provided promptly, plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of the client signing a contract with our
firm. CCR Section 260.235.2 requires that we disclose to our financial planning clients that a conflict of interest exists between us and our clients. The client is under no obligation to act upon the investment adviser’s recommendation. If the client elects to act on our recommendations, the client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through us. Referrals to Third Party Money Managers: Our firm utilizes the services of a third party money manager for the management of client accounts. Investment advice and trading of securities will only be offered by or through the chosen third party money manager. Our firm will not offer advice on any specific securities or other investments in connection with this service. Prior to referring clients, our firm will provide initial due diligence on third party money managers and ongoing reviews of their management of client accounts. In order to assist in the selection of a third party money manager, our firm will gather client information pertaining to financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions to be imposed upon the management of the account. Our firm will periodically review third party money manager reports provided to the client at least annually. Our firm will contact clients from time to time in order to review their financial situation and objectives; communicate information to third party money managers as warranted; and, assist the client in understanding and evaluating the services provided by the third party money manager.

Venture Capital Fund Management OceanIQ Partners, LLC (OceanIQ Partners), a Delaware series limited liability company under common control with OceanIQ Capital, LLC and a relying adviser of OceanIQ Capital, LLC, is the Managing Member of OceanIQ Partners Fund II, LLC (and its classes therein) venture capital funds (the “Funds”). ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure Page 7 OceanIQ Capital, LLC OceanIQ Partners manages the venture capital funds in accordance with the investment objective and investment strategy described in the offering documents of the venture capital funds, which includes a confidential private placement memorandum, subscription agreement, subscription questionnaire, etc. Clients of the Funds will be offered to clients of OceanIQ Capital, LLC, however, they are under no obligation to invest. For more information, please refer to the respective Fund’s Offering Memorandum. Private Funds and Special Purpose Vehicles Our firm may also recommend that clients invest in unaffiliated or affiliated private investment vehicles and/or special purpose vehicles whose interests are not publicly offered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Private Funds”). Such Private Funds may be structured as access vehicles or special purpose vehicles for investment into a wide range of portfolio companies, including both private and public companies, start-up or emerging companies, and U.S. or non-U.S. companies. OceanIQ Capital will, from time to time and as appropriate, solicit clients to invest in such vehicles, and will decide which clients to approach for some or all of these investments, in its own discretion. All relevant information pertaining to Private Fund recommendations, including the compensation received by OceanIQ Capital (if any) or an affiliate or related person (as applicable) resulting from a client’s investment in a Private Fund, other fees and expenses paid by the respective Private Fund, withdrawal rights, minimum investments, qualification requirements, suitability, risk factors and potential conflicts of interest is set forth in the respective Private Fund’s disclosure documents, governing documents and other offering materials pertaining to such interest (the “Offering Materials”). Each investor is required to receive, review and execute (as applicable) the Offering Materials prior to being accepted as an investor in any such Private Fund. It is important to note that any OceanIQ Capital advisory fee charged to clients for investing in a Private Fund may be in addition to the fees charged by the Private Funds to investors. This is a conflict of interest with the multiple fees charged because certain owners of OceanIQ Capital are owners and general partners of the Private Funds and will receive multiple forms of compensation. It should also be noted that certain members of OceanIQ Capital may directly participate in any of the investment opportunities described for which a Private Fund is established and/or may participate through the Private Fund itself for the purposes of investing. This right to participate and any corresponding economic interest therefrom will likely mean that certain members of OceanIQ will derive a direct or indirect benefit from their direct participation and may also receive management fees, carried interest and other fees that a Private Fund charges to investors and clients for their participation in the respective investment opportunity. As such, a conflict of interest arises between the presentation of a private market investment opportunity to clients and prospective clients, and those members of OceanIQ Capital who will have an interest in the alternative investment opportunity and who, through a Private Fund, may also be charging clients and investors a variety of fees for investment in the respective investment opportunity. Therefore, it should be understood that members of OceanIQ Capital may be highly incentivized to recommend an alternative investment opportunity to clients. Clients are strongly advised and encouraged to discuss this conflict of interest with their advisors and to assess the risks, merits, charges, suitability, and appropriateness of the opportunity prior to making any investment decision. ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure Page 8 OceanIQ Capital, LLC Corporate Cash Management Services Our firm offers cash management services to corporations. We consider a Corporate Cash Management Services client’s liquidity needs and invest in high-quality, U.S. Treasury-, or Government-issued fixed income securities. Insurance Premium Payment Management & Advisory Services Blue Ocean Advisors, LLC (“Blue Ocean”), a Delaware limited liability company under common control with OceanIQ Capital, LLC and a relying adviser of OceanIQ Capital, LLC, offers insurance premium payment management and advisory services to certain UHNW and HNW international and domestic clients. Tailoring of Advisory Services Our firm offers individualized investment advice to our Comprehensive Portfolio Management clients. General investment advice will be offered to our Financial Planning & Consulting, and Referrals to Third Party Money Management clients. Each Comprehensive Portfolio 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 Wrap Fee Programs Our firm does not participate in or offer any wrap fee programs at this time.
