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 2018 and has been in business as an investment adviser since that time. Our
firm is wholly owned by Tobias Carlisle.
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:
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.
Our firm utilizes the sub-advisory services of a third party investment advisory firm or individual
advisor to aid in the implementation of an investment portfolio designed by our firm. Before selecting
a firm or individual, our firm will ensure that the chosen party is properly licensed or registered.
ETF Management
Our firm acts and may be engaged to act as the investment advisor of an Exchange Traded Fund
(“Fund”). As such our firm is registered with the Commission as an “investment adviser” under
Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”).
We accept and will be subject to the oversight and authority of the board of trustees of the Fund that
has engaged us
and will develop the overall investment program for the Fund. As the adviser of the
Fund we may enter into sub-advisory agreements with one or more investment advisers to act as
“sub-advisers” with respect to any Fund we manage. The Sub-Advisers, if any, will serve as portfolio
managers for the Fund(s) we serve. The Adviser will compensate any Sub-Adviser out of the advisory
fees paid to the Adviser pursuant to the investment advisory contract. Under the Adviser’s
supervision, each Sub-Adviser will manage the investment and reinvestment of each Fund’s assets in
accordance with the Fund’s investment objective. Any Sub-Adviser to a Fund will either be registered
under the Advisers Act or will not be required to register thereunder.
ADV Part 2A – Firm Brochure Page 5 Acquirers Funds, LLC
Our management style seeks to provide investment returns that correspond, before fees and
expenses, generally to the performance of a specified equity and/or fixed income securities index
(each an “Underlying Index” and collectively, “Underlying Indexes”). Each Fund will hold certain
securities, currencies, other assets, and other investment positions (“Portfolio Holdings”) selected to
correspond generally to the performance of its Underlying Index. Some of the Funds we manage will
be based on Underlying Indexes which will be comprised of equity and/or fixed income securities
issued by one or more of the following categories of issuers: (i) domestic issuers and (ii) non-
domestic issuers meeting the requirements for trading in U.S. markets (“Domestic Indexes”). Other
Funds will be based on Underlying Indexes which will be comprised of foreign and domestic or solely
foreign equity and/or fixed income securities (“Foreign Indexes”). Future Funds may be based on
Domestic Indexes as well as Foreign Indexes.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
Our firm offers individualized investment advice to our Asset Management and ETF 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 Wrap Fee Programs
Our firm does not offer or sponsor a wrap fee program.
Regulatory Assets Under Management
