Our firm is dedicated to providing individuals and other types of clients with a wide array of
investment advisory services. Our firm is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the
State of Delaware in 2022 and has been in business as an investment adviser since 2022. Our firm is
owned by Gerald Graves and Christen Dudley.
The purpose of this Brochure is to disclose conflicts of interest associated with the investment
transactions, compensation and any other matters related to investment decisions made by our firm
or its representatives. As a fiduciary, it is our duty to always act in the client’s best interest. This is
accomplished in part by knowing our client. Our firm has established a service-oriented advisory
practice with open lines of communication. This collaborative approach allows us to work with a
wide variety of clients to help meet their financial goals while remaining sensitive to risk tolerance
and time horizons. Working with clients to understand their investment objectives while educating
them about our process, facilitates the kind of working relationship we value.
Types of Advisory Services Offered
Investment Management:
As part of our Investment Management service, a portfolio is created, consisting of individual stocks,
bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds and other public and private securities or
investments. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may
include some or all of the previously mentioned securities. Portfolios will be designed to meet a
particular investment goal, determined to be suitable to the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate
portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary,
rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives.
Our firm utilizes the separately managed account services of a third-party investment advisory firm
or individual advisor (“Third-Party Manager”) to aid in the implementation of an investment
portfolio designed by our firm. Before selecting a Third-Party Manager, our firm will ensure that the
chosen party is properly licensed or registered. Our firm will not offer advice on any specific
securities or other investments in connection with this service. We will provide initial due diligence
on Third-Party Managers and ongoing reviews of their management of client accounts. To assist in
the selection of a Third-Party Manager, our firm will gather client information pertaining to financial
situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions to be imposed upon the management of
the account.
Our firm will periodically review Third-Party Manager reports at least annually. Our firm will contact
clients periodically in order to review
their financial situation and objectives; communicate
information to Third-Party Manager as warranted; and, assist the client in understanding and
evaluating the services provided by the third party money manager. Clients will be expected to notify
our firm of any changes in their financial situation, investment objectives, or account restrictions that
could affect their financial standing.

Financial Planning & Consulting:
Our firm provides a variety of standalone financial planning and consulting services to clients for the
management of financial resources based upon an analysis of current situation, goals, and objectives.
Financial planning services will typically involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial
consultation for clients based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or
consulting may encompass Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable
Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and Personal Tax Planning, Cost Segregation Study,
Corporate Structure, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of
Credit Evaluation, or Business and Personal Financial Planning.
Written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients.
Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client. Our firm provides
clients with a summary of their financial situation, and observations for financial planning
engagements. Financial consultations are not typically accompanied by a written summary of
observations and recommendations, as the process is less formal than the planning service. Assuming
that all the information and documents requested from the client are provided promptly, plans or
consultations are typically completed within 6 months of the client signing a contract with our firm.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
Our firm offers individualized investment advice to our Investment Management clients. General
investment advice will be offered to our Financial Planning & Consulting clients.
Each Investment Management client can place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to
be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities may
not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account.
Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
Our firm does not offer or sponsor a wrap fee program.
