1N Capital offers a variety of advisory services, which include investment consulting and investment
management services. Prior to 1N Capital rendering any of the foregoing advisory services, clients are
required to enter into one or more written agreements with 1N Capital setting forth the relevant terms and
conditions of the advisory relationship (the “Advisory Agreement”).
1N Capital filed for registration as an investment adviser in June 2020 and is wholly owned by Yen Wu.
As of February 2, 2024, the firm has $106,430,286 in assets under management, all of which was managed
on a discretionary basis.
While this brochure generally describes the business of 1N Capital, certain sections also discuss the
activities of its Supervised Persons, which refer to the Firm’s officers, partners, directors (or other persons
occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), employees or other persons who provide
investment advice on 1N Capital’s behalf and are subject to the Firm’s supervision or control.
Investment Management Services
1N Capital manages client investment portfolios on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. 1N Capital
primarily allocates client assets among various exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual equity
securities, privately placed securities (including debt, equity and/or interests in pooled investment vehicles)
independent investment managers (“Independent Managers”), and structured products in accordance with
their stated investment objectives. Less frequently, the Firm will also advise on mutual funds, foreign
exchange currency, fixed income and options.
Where appropriate, the Firm also provides advice about any type of legacy position or other investment
held in client portfolios, but clients should not assume that these assets are being continuously monitored
or otherwise advised on by the Firm unless specifically agreed upon. Clients can engage 1N Capital to
manage and/or advise on certain investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian,
such as variable life insurance and annuity contracts and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans
and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). In these situations, 1N Capital directs or recommends the
allocation of client assets among the various investment options available with the product. These assets
are generally maintained at the underwriting insurance company or the custodian designated by the
product’s provider.
1N Capital tailors its advisory services to meet the needs of its individual clients and seeks to ensure, on a
continuous basis, that client portfolios are managed in a manner consistent with those needs and objectives.
1N Capital consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk tolerance, time
horizon, liquidity constraints and other related factors relevant to the management of their portfolios.
Clients are advised to promptly notify 1N Capital if there are changes in their financial situation or if they

wish to place any limitations on the management of their portfolios. Clients can impose reasonable
restrictions or mandates on the management of their accounts if 1N Capital determines, in its sole discretion,
the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management strategy or prove overly
burdensome to the Firm’s management efforts.
Use of Independent Managers
As mentioned above, 1N Capital selects certain Independent Managers to actively manage a portion of its
clients’ assets. The specific terms and conditions under which a client engages an Independent Manager
are set forth in a separate written agreement with the designated Independent Manager. That agreement
can be between the Firm and the Independent Manager (often called a subadvisor) or the client and the
Independent Manager (sometimes called a separate account manager). In addition to this brochure, clients
will typically also receive the written disclosure documents of the respective Independent Managers
engaged to manage their assets.
1N Capital evaluates a variety of information about Independent Managers, which includes the Independent
Managers’ public disclosure documents, materials supplied by the Independent Managers themselves and
other third-party analyses it believes are reputable. To the extent possible, the Firm seeks to assess the
Independent Managers’ investment strategies, past performance and risk results in relation to its clients’
individual portfolio allocations and risk exposure. 1N Capital also takes into consideration each
Independent Manager’s management style, returns, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing and
research capabilities, among other factors.
1N Capital continues to provide services relative to the discretionary or non-discretionary selection of the
Independent Managers. On an ongoing basis, the Firm monitors the performance of those accounts being
managed by Independent Managers. 1N Capital seeks to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and
target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests.
Investment Consulting Services
1N Capital offers clients a broad range of investment consulting services, including advice about asset
allocation and restricted securities. In performing investment consulting services, 1N Capital is not required
to verify any information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals (e.g., attorneys,
accountants, etc.,) and is expressly authorized to rely on such information. Clients are advised that a conflict
of interest exists for the Firm to recommend that clients engage 1N Capital to provide additional services
for compensation, including investment management services. Clients retain absolute discretion over all
decisions regarding implementation and are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations
made by 1N Capital under an investment consulting engagement. Clients are advised that it remains their
responsibility to promptly notify the Firm of any change in their financial situation or investment objectives
for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating or revising 1N Capital’s recommendations and/or services.
