Investment Management Services
Blue Rock Financial Group provides customized wealth management solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and planning
services. Blue Rock Financial Group works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as
well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create an investment strategy. Blue Rock Financial Group
customizes its investment management services for its Clients. Blue Rock Financial Group will implement the investment
strategy with its internal management and/or the use of unaffiliated money managers or investment platforms (as
described below).
Internal Investment Management – The Advisor’s investment philosophy is based primarily on modern portfolio theory.
The Advisor will develop a strategic asset allocacation for the Client based on the Client’s unique situation. The Advisor
will then construct an investment portfolio primarily utilizing exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Advisor may also
incorporate open-end mutual funds, individual equity securities and/or individual fixed income securities in a Client’s
portfolio. For mutual funds, the Advisor primarily selects passive managers and will seek institutional share classes when
available.
Blue Rock Financial Group typically employs a long-term investment approach for Clients, but may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. Blue
Rock Financial Group will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives,
circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. 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.
At no time will Blue Rock Financial Group accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for 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 advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Retirement Accounts – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will recommend that a Client take a
distribution from an ERISA sponsored plan or to roll over the assets to an Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”), 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). In such instances,
the Advisor will serve as an investment fiduciary as that term is defined under The Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current)
Page 5
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 – Blue Rock Financial Group will recommend that Clients utilize one or more unaffiliated
investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) available through SEI Private Trust
Company (“SEI”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. In such
instances, the Client will be required to authorize and enter into an investment management agreement with an
Independent Manager that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager will provide its services. The Advisor will
perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains
aligned with Clients investment objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the Client in the
development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Client, prior to
entering into an agreement with an Independent Manager, will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV
Part 2A - Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
Investment Management Platforms
Advisor Guided Platform Services – Certain Client account[s] will be managed on the Advisor Guided platform, available
through SEI, which provides efficient trading solutions.
Hero Wealth Management – Blue Rock Financial Group may recommend that certain Clients implement their investment
portfolios through Betterment Institutional, a division of Betterment LLC (herein “Betterment Institutional” or the
“Investment Platform”), for the Advisor’s Hero Wealth Management Service. Betterment Institutional is what is often
termed a “robo-advisor”, an online wealth management service that provides automated, algorithm-based portfolio
management advice. Robo-advisors use technology to deliver similar services as traditional advisors, but generally only
offer portfolio management and do not get involved in a Client’s personal situation, such as taxes and retirement or estate
planning.
Blue Rock Financial Group chose to affiliate with Betterment Institutional due to the Investment Platform’s customized
portfolio allocations, automated rebalancing, and competitive fees. Blue Rock Financial Group utilizes Betterment
Institutional as a complement to its comprehensive financial planning services to provide cost effective investing coupled
with personalized financial planning.
To establish accounts with Betterment Institutional, the Client will also enter into one or more agreements with
Betterment that provides
the authority for discretionary investment management by the Investment Platform.
Blue Rock Financial Group remains the Client’s primary advisor and relationship contact and will select or construct a
portfolio of ETFs and/or cash equivalents from the universe of investments included on the Investment Platform.
Blue Rock Financial Group will have the discretionary authority to instruct Betterment Institutional with respect to portfolio
construction, asset allocation, and other investment decisions, subject to the limitations described herein.
Betterment Institutional will implement the portfolio and be responsible for the discretionary trading of the ETFs
in the Client’s portfolio, including the purchase and sale of investments and the automatic rebalancing back to
targets.
Betterment Institutional utilizes between ten to twelve different ETF’s, representing various asset classes for the
construction of investment portfolios. As discussed above, Blue Rock Financial Group will work with each Client to
select/construct a portfolio to meets the needs of the Client. The Client has limited ability to put restrictions on its
accounts. The account[s] cannot contain investments that are not included in the Betterment Institutional
universe of ETFs and cash equivalents.
Betterment Institutional, under its discretionary authority, will automatically adjust and rebalance the Client’s
accounts daily based on the drift tolerance established for the positions in the investment portfolio. The
Advisor’s investment philosophy is long-term, but the Advisor may make such tactical overrides to take
advantage of market pricing anomalies or strong market sectors. The Advisor does not actively trade in the
Client’s account[s] and is also limited to a enter one allocation change per account per trading day through
Betterment Institutional, the Client should be aware of these potential disadvantages.
For its services, Betterment Institutional will charge an asset-based fee that includes the securities transaction
Page 6
fees for all trades. The Advisor will only charge the investment advisory fee detailed in Item 5.A. below on assets referred
to Betterment Institutional and does not share in any fees earned by Betterment Institutional.
The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with the Investment Platform, will be provided with the
Investment Platform's Form ADV Part 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
Financial Planning Services
Blue Rock Financial Group will typically provide to its Clients a variety of financial planning services. Such services may
be included in the overall advisory services or contracted separately, based on the Client’s needs and complexity of the
services to be provided. Services may be provided in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their
goals and objectives. Planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to
investment advice and planning, retirement planning, distributions, personal savings, education savings, spending,
insurance needs, estate planning, charitable strategies, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. Blue Rock
Financial Group may deliver specific planning modules to the Client or a comprehensive plan, based on the needs of the
Client.
In certain circumstances, Blue Rock Financial Group may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialist,
as appropriate for the Client’s unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will generally
provide a written report that contains observations and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the
Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract
date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning 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. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an
ongoing relationship with the Advisor. 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. Financial planning services may be
included in an overall wealth management engagement or provided as a separate service, pursuant to the terms of the
agreement with the Client.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Blue Rock Financial Group provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of 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. Each engagement is customized to the
needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
• Vendor Analysis
• Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
• Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
• Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21))
• Performance Reporting

Sponsor is provided with a written description of the Advisor’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all
direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Blue Rock Financial Group to provide 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:
