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 Act Two Financial 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 and non-discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is
tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for portfolio
management services, we will meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance,
and other relevant information at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the information
we gather to develop a strategy that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment
advice and/or to make investments on your behalf. As part of our portfolio management services, we
may customize an investment portfolio for you according to your risk tolerance and investing
objectives. We may also invest your assets using a predefined strategy or we may invest your assets
according to one or more model portfolios developed by our firm. Once we construct an investment
portfolio for you, or select a model portfolio, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing
basis, and will rebalance the portfolio quarterly and/or according to changes in your financial
circumstances.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm
discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine
the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without
your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment
advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate 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.
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.
As part of our portfolio management services, we may use a sub-adviser to manage all or a portion of
your account on a discretionary basis. The sub-adviser 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, and may hire and fire any sub-adviser without your prior approval. We will pay a portion of our
advisory fee to the sub-adviser we use; however, you will not pay our firm a higher advisory fee as a
result of any sub-advisory relationships.

You must promptly notify our firm of any changes in your financial situation or investment objectives, or
if you wish to impose any restrictions on our management services.
Selection of Other Advisers
We may recommend that you use the services of a third party money manager ("MM") 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 MM or investment program. Factors that we
take into consideration when making our recommendation(s) include, but are not limited to, the
following: the MM's performance, methods of analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment goals,
risk tolerance, and
investment objectives. We will monitor the MM(s)' performance to ensure its
management and investment style remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives.
The MM(s) will actively manage your portfolio and will assume discretionary investment authority over
your account. We will assume discretionary authority to hire and fire MM(s) and/or reallocate your
assets to other MM(s) where we deem such action appropriate.
Financial Planning/Consulting Services
We offer financial planning and consulting 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. Upon review and analysis of the
information you provided 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.
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 may be discretionary or non-
discretionary according to the service agreement you sign with our firm. 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. 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.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not sponsor nor participate in any wrap fee program.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on mutual funds and exchange traded funds. Refer to the Methods of
Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss under Item 8 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
