Overview
Firm Description
Incorporated in November 2006, Accelar, Inc. is a registered investment advisor, doing business as
XoomFi Advisors (“XoomFi” or the “Firm”), offering investment advisor services, as further described
below, through the internet since June 2021.
Principal Owners
Kumar Shah is the principal owner of XoomFi.
Types of Advisory Services
XoomFi is an internet-based advisor which uses an algorithm created to manage client accounts based
on their individual financial situation and goals. Clients provide information about themselves and their
investment objectives exclusively through XoomFi’s interactive website.
We rely on integrated, cloud-based portal for the account opening process. Through the interactive
website, each client completes a client profile and answers a risk tolerance questionnaire. Based on the
information provided in the risk tolerance questionnaire, the algorithm generates an allocation of the
client’s funds in one or more of the XoomFi investment models.
Our algorithm creates an investment profile for each client based on a variety of factors - capital
investment amount, stocks and options investment experience, expectation of return on their
investment, risk / reward profile, among others. This profile is based on the questionnaire each client
fills out online.
Investment allocation to one or more than 1 investment model is typically determined by the amount
you invest:
$5,000 to $24,999: 1 portfolio
$25,000 to $49,999: 2 portfolios
$50,000+: 3 portfolios
Our algorithm will select one or more of the following investment models – Balanced Income & Growth,
Turbo Income &Growth and / or Ultra Income & Growth - based on your investment profile and invested
amount. While there is no direct, set, or permanent correlation between the market cap of the equities
in your account and other selection criteria and associated risks and rewards, in our assessment, risks
and rewards will tend to be lower for the Balanced Income & Growth portfolio compared to Turbo

Income & Growth, which, in turn, will be lower than the risks and rewards associated with the Ultra
Income
& Growth portfolio.
Clients will electronically enter into an advisory agreement with XoomFi and open a brokerage account
with Interactive Brokers, an independently registered broker dealer acting as the custodian of client
accounts. XoomFi will maintain discretion over client accounts. Each client account is managed as a
Separately Managed Account (SMA) by XoomFi with no co-mingling of funds between the SMA’s.
The algorithm uses the following assumptions in recommending investment models:
A lower risk level is preferred over a higher risk level for the same level of return
An individual security impacts the risk and return profile of an entire portfolio, therefore
diversified portfolios can outperform while reducing risk and volatility
Assets in a portfolio that have a negative correlation, could realize stronger returns rather than
exclusively holding one type of asset within a portfolio
The algorithm may also have limitations that include:
Minimalizing risk may limit returns
Purchase of underperforming equities and sale of better performing equities to achieve targets
which can create capital gain tax liabilities
The lack of updated information on a timely basis by a client
Risks inherent in the use of an algorithm may include:
The inability to react to significant events on an intraday basis
The inability to recognize prolonged changes in market conditions
Technology failures
Systemic risk may be amplified
Conditions that might cause XoomFi to override the algorithm include:
Significant events that move the market or an individual asset on an intraday basis
Prolonged changes in market conditions
Technology failures
Clients should review and update their personal information at least yearly and whenever a significant
life event occurs that changes one or more of the original inputs.
Limited Types of Investments
Our investment models only invest in stocks and options.
