Firm Information
No Fate BWWM, LLC (“NFWM”) was organized in 2020 as a Texas limited liability company; the single
managing member, John O. Hetzel has over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry. This
disclosure brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices and details of the
advisory services and the applicable fees.
NFWM has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with sK Advisors Network, LLC for the management of
client accounts.
From time to time, clients may hold securities for which NFWM does not recommend buy or sell transactions;
however, due to either capital gains considerations, or the client’s instructions, the client may choose to hold the
security and to have it considered in the client’s overall portfolio allocation. In these cases, Advisor will attempt
to identify which category the security is most appropriately allocated to and will then consider it as part of that
category when analyzing the client’s overall portfolio allocation and rebalancing needs.

Advisory Services Offered
NFWM provides fee-based investment advisory services primarily to individual Clients and high-net worth
individuals. Services are also available to businesses and financial institutions. Accounts are managed based on
the individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each Client.
Assets are managed on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, as selected on the written asset management
agreement.
• Discretionary Authority – Client grants NFWM ongoing and continuous discretionary authority to
execute its investment recommendations without the Client's prior approval of each specific transaction.
Under this authority, Client shall allow NFWM to purchase and sell securities and instruments in this
Account(s), arrange for delivery and payment in connection with the foregoing, select and retain sub-
advisors, and act on behalf of the Client in all matters necessary or incidental.
• Non-Discretionary Authority – NFWM will not execute any investment recommendations without
Client’s prior approval (verbal or written).
Investment Advisor Representatives are restricted to providing services and charging fees based in accordance
with the descriptions detailed in this document and the account agreement. However, the exact service and fees
charged to a particular Client are dependent upon the Investment Advisor Representatives that are working with
the Client. Investment Advisor Representatives will consider the individual needs of each Client when
providing investment advice. Investment strategies and recommendations are tailored to the individual needs of
each Client but generally consist of an asset allocation consistent with:
1. Income with Capital Preservation. Designed as a longer-term accumulation account, this investment
objective is considered generally the most conservative. Emphasis is placed on generation of current
income with minimal risk of capital loss. Lowering the risk generally means lowering the potential
income and overall return.
2. Income with Moderate Growth. This investment objective emphasizes generation of current income
with a secondary focus on moderate capital growth.
3. Growth with Income. This investment objective emphasizes modest capital growth with some focus on
generation of current income.
4. Growth. This investment objective emphasizes achieving high long-term growth and capital
appreciation. There is little focus on generation
of current income.
5. Aggressive Growth. This investment objective emphasizes aggressive growth and maximum capital
appreciation, with no focus on generation of current income. This objective has a very high level of risk
and is for investors with a longer timer horizon.
At no time will NFWM accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities. All Client assets will be
managed within their designated brokerage account with a qualified custodian, pursuant to the Client
investment advisory agreement on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis.
• Investment advice is not limited to certain investment types.
• A minimum total investment amount of $500,000 is generally required but, a lesser amount will be
considered.
• Advisory services are tailored to the individual need of each Client.
• Clients may place reasonable restrictions on investing in certain types of securities.
Wrap Fee Program
NFWM is the sponsor of a wrap fee program. A wrap fee program includes securities transaction fees together
with its investment advisory fees. Depending on the level of trading required for the Client’s account[s] in a
particular year, the Client may pay more or less in total fees than if the Client paid its own transaction fees.
Please see Appendix 1 –Wrap Fee Program Brochure, which is included as a supplement to this Disclosure
Brochure.
Retirement Plan Rollovers
When NFWM provides investment advice regarding retirement plan accounts or individual retirement accounts,
the firm is acting as a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(ERISA) and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts.
The way NFWM makes money creates a conflict of interest; however, NFWM is required to act in a client’s
best interest. More specifically, NFWM must meet a professional standard of care when making investment
recommendations (give prudent advice); never put the firm’s financial interests ahead of a client’s interest (give
loyal advice); and, avoid misleading statements.
Client Account Management
Prior to engaging NFWM to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an
investment advisory agreement that defines the terms, conditions, authority, and responsibilities.
