Wealth Management Services
Eagle Rock provides customized wealth management solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related advisory
services. Eagle Rock works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk
tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Eagle Rock will employ its internal
management strategies and/or utilize one or more independent money managers, as appropriate to meets the
unique needs of the Client.
Internal Investment Management – Eagle Rock constructs investment portfolios utilizing individual stocks,
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds and private/alternative investments. The Advisor may also utilize
options and other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of the Client. The Advisor may retain
certain types of investments based on a Client’s legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations.
Eagle Rock’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Eagle Rock 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.
Eagle Rock evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Eagle Rock may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Eagle Rock may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor
may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Eagle Rock may
recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses,
business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the
position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk
deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Use of Independent Managers – Eagle Rock may recommend that a Client utilize one or more unaffiliated
investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s
investment portfolio. In such instances, the Client may be required to authorize and enter into an advisory
agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will
Page 5
provide investment management and related services. The Advisor may also assist in the development of the initial
policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing
oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Manager[s] to ensure the Independent Managers’
strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests.
The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with unaffiliated investment manager[s] or investment platform[s],
will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate
disclosures).
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA
retirement account or to roll over the
assets to an IRA, 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). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or
increase its current) 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.
At no time will Eagle Rock accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Financial Planning Services
Eagle Rock will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients. Services are
offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such
financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation
based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas
of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings,
and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Eagle Rock may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
financial situation, 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 (6) months of contract date,
assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting 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.

Eagle Rock provides 3(21) retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and
the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan

and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
