Description of Firm
Regent Peak Wealth Advisors, LLC is a registered investment adviser primarily based in Atlanta, GA.
We are organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of Delaware. We
began providing investment advisory services in May 2019. Regent Peak Wealth Advisors, LLC is
majority owned by Craig Robson.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each investment
advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual
needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to Regent Peak Wealth Advisors,
LLC and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our
firm.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our
clients' needs and investment objectives.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant us
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. Discretionary
authorization will allow us to determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be
purchased or sold for your account without obtaining your approval prior to each transaction. We will
also have discretion over the broker or dealer to be used for securities transactions, and over the
commission rates to be paid. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment advisory
agreement you sign with our firm, a limited power of attorney, or trading authorization forms.
You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be
purchased or sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in
writing.
We may also offer non-discretionary portfolio management services. If you enter into non-discretionary
arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any transactions on behalf
of your account. You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any advice provided by our firm
on a non-discretionary basis.
As part of our portfolio management services, we may use one or more sub-advisers to manage a
portion of your account on a discretionary basis. The sub-adviser(s) may use one or more of their
model portfolios to manage your account. We will regularly monitor the performance of your accounts
managed by sub-adviser(s), and may hire and fire any sub-adviser without your prior approval.
As part of our portfolio management services, in addition to other types of investments (see
disclosures below in this section), we may invest your assets according to one or more
model portfolios developed by our firm. These models are designed for investors with varying degrees
of risk tolerance ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to a more conservative
investment approach. Clients whose assets are invested in model portfolios may not set restrictions on
the specific holdings or allocations within the model, nor the types of securities that can be purchased
in the model. Nonetheless, clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities in their account. In such cases, this may prevent a client from investing in certain models
that are managed by our firm.

Financial Planning Services
We offer financial planning services which typically involve providing a variety of advisory services to
clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their
individual needs. These services can range from broad-based financial planning to consultative or
single subject planning. If you retain our firm for financial planning services, we will meet with you to
gather information about your financial circumstances and objectives. We may also use financial
planning software to determine your current financial position and to define and quantify your long-term
goals and objectives. Once we specify those long-term objectives (both financial and non-financial), we
will develop shorter-term, targeted objectives. Once we review and analyze the information you provide
to our firm and the data derived from our financial planning software, we will deliver a written plan to
you, designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals and objectives.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the
financial information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation,
goals, objectives, or needs change.
You are under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. Should you choose to
act on any of our recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the financial plan through any
of our other investment advisory services. Moreover, you may act on our recommendations by placing
securities transactions with any brokerage firm.
Selection of Other Advisers
We may recommend that you use the services of a third party money manager ("TPMM") to manage
all, or a portion of, your investment portfolio. After gathering information about your financial situation
and objectives, we may recommend that you engage a specific TPMM or investment program. Factors
that we take into consideration when making our recommendation(s) include, but are not limited to, the
following: the TPMM's performance, methods of analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment goals,
risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We will monitor the TPMM(s)' performance to ensure its
management and investment style remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives.
The TPMM(s) will actively manage your portfolio and will assume discretionary investment authority
over your account. We will assume discretionary authority to hire and fire TPMM(s) and/or reallocate
your assets to other TPMM(s) where we deem such action appropriate.
Pension Consulting Services
We offer pension consulting services to employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries based upon the
needs of the plan and the services requested by the plan sponsor or named fiduciary. In general, these
services may include an existing plan review and analysis, plan-level advice regarding fund selection
and investment options, education services to plan participants, investment performance monitoring,
and/or ongoing consulting. These pension consulting services will generally be non-discretionary and
advisory in nature. The ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan shall remain with the plan sponsor
or other named fiduciary.
We may also assist with participant enrollment meetings and provide investment-related
educational
seminars to plan participants on such topics as:
•Diversification
•Asset allocation
•Risk tolerance
•Time horizon
5
Our educational seminars may include other investment-related topics specific to the particular plan.
We may also provide additional types of pension consulting services to plans on an individually
negotiated basis. All services, whether discussed above or customized for the plan based upon
requirements from the plan fiduciaries (which may include additional plan-level or participant-level
services) shall be detailed in a written agreement and be consistent with the parameters set forth in the
plan documents.
Either party to the pension consulting agreement may terminate the agreement upon written notice to
the other party in accordance with the terms of the agreement for services. The pension consulting
fees will be prorated for the month in which the termination notice is given and any unearned fees will
be refunded to the client.
Family Office and Wealth Planning Services
We offer Family Office and Wealth Planning Services designed to help our clients organize their
financial situation and plan for the successful transfer of wealth to the next generation in the most tax-
advantaged manner. Such services generally include financial planning in the following areas:

•Integrated Tax and Financial Planning
•Lifestyle Management
•Family Philanthropy
•Risk Management
Dynasty TAMP
We have entered into a contractual relationship with Dynasty Financial Partners, LLC ("Dynasty"),
which provides us with operational and back office support including access to a network of service
providers. Through the Dynasty network of service providers, we may receive preferred pricing on
trading technology, reporting, custody, brokerage, compliance and other related services. In addition,
Dynasty's subsidiary, Dynasty Wealth Management, LLC ("DWM") is an SEC registered investment
adviser, that provides access to a range of investment services including: separately managed
accounts ("SMA"), mutual fund and ETF asset allocation strategies, and unified managed accounts
("UMA") managed by external third party managers (collectively, the "Investment Programs"). We may
separately engage the services of Dynasty and/or its subsidiaries to access the Investment Programs.
Under the SMA and UMA programs, we will maintain the ability to select the specific, underlying third
party managers that will, in turn, have day-to-day discretionary trading authority over the requisite
client assets.
DWM sponsors an investment management platform (the "Platform" or the "TAMP") that is available to
the advisers in the Dynasty Network, such as us. Through the Platform, DWM and Dynasty collectively
provides certain technology, administrative, operations and advisory support services that allow us to
manage our own client portfolios and access independent third-party managers that provide
discretionary services in the form of traditional managed accounts and investment models. We can
allocate all or a portion of your assets among the different independent third-party managers via the
Platform. We may also use the model management feature of the TAMP by creating our own asset
allocation model and underlying investments that comprise the model. Through the model
management feature, we may be able to outsource the implementation of trade orders and periodic
rebalancing of the model when needed.
6
We will maintain the direct contractual relationship with you and obtain, through such agreements, the
authority to engage independent third-party managers, DWM and/or Dynasty, as applicable, for
services rendered through the Platform in service to you. We may delegate discretionary trading
authority to DWM and/or independent third-party managers to effect investment and reinvestment of
client assets with the ability to buy, sell or otherwise effect investment transactions and allocate client
assets. If you are participating in certain Investment Programs, DWM or the designated manager, as
applicable, is also authorized without prior consultation with either us or you to buy, sell, trade or
allocate your assets in accordance with your designated portfolio and to deliver instructions to the
designated broker-dealer and/or custodian of your assets.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not participate in any wrap fee program.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on ETFs and Equities. Refer to the Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss below for additional disclosures on this topic.
Additionally, we may advise you on various types of investments based on your stated goals and
objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception
of our advisory relationship.
Rollover Recommendations
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field
Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where applicable, we are providing the
following acknowledgment to you.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a
special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under
this special rule's provisions, we must:
•Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
•Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
•Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
•Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
•Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
•Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management
and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in
your best interest.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2022, we provide continuous management services for $531,979,144 in client
assets on a discretionary basis.
