Investment Management Services
Antares Wealth primarily provides wealth management services. At the outset of each
prospective client relationship, before developing an investment strategy, we make a detailed
assessment of your current financial circumstances. We spend time with you, discussing your
investment experience, available resources, income needs and tolerance for investment risk,
and broadly identifying your objectives and goals. This background information assists us in
developing a recommended investment plan that is designed to fit your specific needs.
Based on the information initially gathered from you, we generally develop for presentation:
• a Financial Review which provides a current financial snapshot for you, together with
financial analysis and projections (the “Financial Review”). These may include short-
term (5 years or less), intermediate term (5 - 10 years) and/or long term (10 years or
more) projections; and
• a Portfolio Strategy or an Investment Policy Statement which sets forth a recommended
portfolio allocation for you, together with appropriate risk/return expectations (the
“Investment Plan”).
The Financial Review is a reflection of your current financial picture and a look to your future
goals and expectations. The Investment Plan outlines the types of investments we would make
on your behalf, if engaged by you, in an effort to help meet those goals and expectations.
Once an Investment Plan is implemented on your behalf, the Investment Plan will be monitored
and updated periodically as determined to be necessary or advisable based on our experience,
changes in market conditions, changes in your financial position and/or other circumstances.
Modifications to the initial Investment Plan, while a topic for ongoing communications with
you, will not necessarily be reflected in a written document.
All investment management and financial planning services clients retain Antares Wealth by
entering into a written agreement. This agreement may be terminated within five (5) days of
the executing date of the agreement or by either party with a written notice thirty (30) days
prior to termination as agreed upon. Fees will be prorated to the date of the termination as
specified in the notice and any unearned portion of prepaid fees will be refunded to the client.
Portfolio Management
We will manage your investment portfolio on a discretionary basis. As a discretionary
investment adviser, we will have the authority to supervise and direct your portfolio without
prior consultation with you. The only non-discretionary assets supervised by us are those few
accounts managed by sub-advisers selected by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may
impose certain written restrictions on us in the management of your investment portfolio, such
as prohibiting the inclusion of certain types of investments or prohibiting the sale of certain
investments held in the account at the commencement of the relationship. You should note,
however, that restrictions imposed by you may adversely affect the composition and
performance of your investment portfolio.
Your investment portfolio is treated individually, with consideration given to each trade for
your account. For these and other reasons, performance of your investment portfolio within
the same investment objectives, goals and/or risk tolerance may differ, and you should not
expect that the composition or performance of your investment portfolios would necessarily be
consistent with similar clients of ours.
Investment Strategies in Portfolio Management
The allocation of a client’s assets among equities, fixed income and alternative investments is
made pursuant to two basic methodologies: strategic and tactical.
The strategic asset allocation process involves determining your investment objectives and the
time horizon over which these objectives are targeted to be reached. Taking into account these
factors and the historical return patterns for different asset classes, we allocate assets among
selected asset classes to help reach your financial goals over time. However, past market
performance is not indicative of future market performance. The tactical asset allocation
process also takes into account historical market data but in a different manner. It involves the
periodic movement among asset classes to change the risk characteristics of a portfolio based
on current economic and market conditions. Again, historical market performance is not
indicative of future market performance.
We utilize computer models and our financial planning services to determine the appropriate
initial asset allocation for you. Tactical allocations, including increasing or decreasing equity
exposure, are made periodically as economic and market conditions warrant.
Fixed income investments may be used as a strategic investment, as an instrument to fulfill
liquidity or income needs in a portfolio, or to add a component of capital preservation.
We use both active and passive investment strategies. For active strategies we use our
investment experience and other research services to identify our choice for investment
managers and funds available in today’s marketplace. We look for investment managers and
funds that meet selected criteria for investment sector exposure, expense ratios, manager
tenure, asset size, investment discipline.
We utilize investment research, investment related services and tools from a number of
sources, including: (a) asset
simulation and/or performance evaluation software; (b) research
on mutual funds, ETFs and separate account managers; and (c) economic commentary from a
number non-affiliated third parties.
Financial Planning
The wealth management services we offer include financial planning. These services generally
are included in conjunction with ongoing portfolio management; however, in certain
circumstances, financial planning may be provided on a stand-alone basis.
Depending on your specific situation, financial planning and other wealth management services
may include some or all the following:
• Gathering factual information concerning your personal and financial situation;
• Assisting you in establishing financial goals and objectives;
• Analyzing your present situation and anticipated future activities in light of your
financial goals and objectives;
• Identifying problems foreseen in the accomplishment of these financial goals and
objectives and offering alternative solutions to the problems;
• Making recommendations to help achieve retirement plan goals and objectives;
• Designing an investment portfolio to help meet the your goals and objectives;
• Providing tax and estate planning;
• Assessing risk and reviewing basic health, life and disability insurance needs; or
• Reviewing goals and objectives and measuring progress toward these goals.
If financial planning advice is provided on a fee basis, you may choose to engage us to manage
the investment portfolio on an ongoing basis; however, you are under no obligation to act upon
any of the recommendations made by us under a financial planning engagement and/or engage
the services of any recommended investment professional.

Fees for Wealth Management Services
Financial Planning Fees
Financial planning may be provided as a stand-alone service. Fees for a separate financial plan
are negotiated at the time of the engagement for such services and are normally based on an
hourly fee.
Portfolio Management Fees
The current annual fee schedule, based on a percentage of assets under management, is as
follows:
• 1.00% of the first $5,000,000
• 0.75% of the next $5,000,000
• 0.50% of the Amount Over $10,000,000
The minimum portfolio value is generally set at $500,000 and the minimum annual fee charged
is $5,000. In limited cases smaller accounts may be accepted. We may, at our discretion, make
exceptions to the fee schedule above as all fees are negotiable.
Portfolio management fees are payable quarterly in advance. If management begins after the
start of a quarter, fees will be prorated accordingly based upon the ending market value of that
quarter. With your authorization and unless other arrangements are made, fees are normally
debited directly from your account(s).
Either you or Antares Wealth may terminate your Investment Management Agreement at any
time, subject to any written notice requirements in the agreement. In the event of termination,
any paid but unearned fees will be promptly refunded to you based on the number of days that
the account was managed, and any fees due to us from you will be invoiced or deducted from
your account prior to termination.
Fees paid to Antares Wealth are exclusive of all of brokerage commissions, transaction fees,
and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur
certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment managers and other
third parties such as margin interest, trade away fees, management fees, custodial fees,
deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund
fees, other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions, and separate
custody fees for maintaining Alternative Investments in taxable or retirement accounts.
Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are
disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. We advise each client to read the appropriate prospectus for
mutual funds & ETF’s in addition to the Operating Agreement and Offering Memorandum of
Private Investment Partnerships for a list of expenses. Such charges, fees and commissions are
exclusive of and in addition to Antares Wealth’s fee, and Antares Wealth shall not receive any
portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Item 12 further describes the factors that
Antares Wealth considers in selecting or recommending brokers for client transactions and
determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g., commissions).
