CorePath Wealth Partners LLC (“CorePath” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). CorePath was organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”)
under the laws of the State of Arizona in December 2018. CorePath is owned by CorePath Holdings, LLC which
is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bonnett Investment Group, LLC. Mark A. Bonnett (President) of CorePath
is also the sole owner of Bonnett Investment Group, LLC. This Disclosure Brochure provides information
regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by CorePath.
B. Advisory Services Offered
CorePath offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates
charitable organizations, businesses and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
CorePath provides individualized services to each Client, which are determined during initial conversations and
updated over the course of the relationship as needed or requested by the Client. However, all services offered
fall into the Investment Management Services, also known as Asset Management Services, and Financial
Planning Services.
CorePath serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. CorePath’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For
more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in
Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
CorePath provides customized wealth management solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management, financial planning
and related advisory services. CorePath works closely with each Client on an ongoing basis. CorePath works
closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial
situation in order to design and implement an investment strategy. CorePath will construct investment portfolios
through the Advisor’s internal investment management and/or the use of unaffiliated investment managers or
investment platforms. The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax
considerations.
Internal Investment Management – CorePath works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. CorePath will
then construct a portfolio, consisting of primarily of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, individual
equity securities, individual and fixed income securities. The Advisor may also utilize options, private fund
investments, and other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of each Client. Evaluation of
legacy investments will include a review of portfolio fit, tax situation and other considerations.
Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in
their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor. CorePath will construct, implement and monitor
the portfolio on a discretionary basis with respect to the Client’s investment policy statement.
At no time will CorePath accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their designated account[s] at
the Custodian, pursuant to the Client investment advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over
Page 5
the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based
account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a
new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll
over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Use of Independent Managers – CorePath in certain situations recommends that a Client utilize one or more
unaffiliated investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a
portion of a Client’s investment portfolio. In such instances, the Client may be required to authorize and enter into
an advisory agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent
Manager[s] will provide investment management and related services. The Advisor may also assist in the
development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor will
perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Manager[s] to ensure the
Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its Clients’ investment objectives
and overall best interests. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with unaffiliated investment manager[s]
or investment platform[s], will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that
makes the appropriate disclosures).
Financial Planning Services
Financial Planning Services are at the core of the Client relationship with CorePath and offered as stand-alone
service. Financial planning is an evaluation of a Client’s current and future financial state by using currently
known variables to predict future cash flows, asset values and withdrawal plans while also understanding
personal values, goals and objectives. Through the
financial planning process, all questions, information and
analysis are considered as they impact and are impacted by the entire financial and life situation of the Client.
CorePath will provide financial planning and consulting services to Clients pursuant to a written financial planning
agreement. Services are offered in several areas depending on the Client’s goals, objectives and financial
situation. Generally, such financial planning services will involve a written report which provides the Client with a
detailed financial plan to assist the Client in achieving his or her financial goals and objectives. This planning or
consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, financial position, tax
considerations, employee benefits, investment analysis, insurance analysis, retirement analysis, death and
disability considerations, and estate planning. Financial planning engagements may be fixed-scope projects or
ongoing engagements, pursuant to the terms of the financial polanning agreement.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor
for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Implementation of financial planning recommendations
is entirely at the Client’s discretion. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the
Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor, its Advisory Persons
or its affiliated entities. CorePath will work with Clients to implement recommendations and referrals to other
professionals may be made where appropriate to meet the Client’s needs. Clients are under no obligation to
implement CorePath’s recommendations through the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
CorePath provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the
company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan
Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Due to the differences in size,
complexity and overall needs of the Plan, each engagement is customized based on the requirements set forth
by the Plan Sponsor. The Advisor’s services may include:
• Analysis of Retirement Platforms and Vendors
• Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Monitoring
• Plan Participant Education
• Performance Reporting
Page 6
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
These services are provided by CorePath serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) pursuant to ERISA Rule 3(21). In accordance with ERISA
Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of CorePath’s fiduciary status, the
specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under
the engagement.

Participant Account Management
As part of the Advisor’s Investment Management Services, when appropriate, the Advisor will use a third-party
platform, Pontera Solutions, Inc., to facilitate management of held away assets such as defined contribution plan
participant accounts, with investment discretion. The platform enables the Advisor to gain access to Client
account without having access through the Client’s credentials. This independent advisor access ensures that
the Advisor will not have custody of Client funds or securities when implementing trades for the Client. The
Advisor is not affiliated with the platform in any way and receives no compensation from the platform. A link will
be provided to the Client allowing them to connect their account[s] to the platform for the Advisor’s secure
access.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging CorePath to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or
more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – CorePath, in connection with the Client, will develop an investment
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and destinations.
• Portfolio Construction – CorePath will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
• Investment Management and Supervision – CorePath will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. CorePath will review Client portfolios at least annually.
