A. Description of the Advisory Firm
BCO Wealth Management, LLC (hereinafter “BCO Wealth”) is a Limited Liability
Company organized in the State of New Mexico. The firm was formed in May 2022, and
the principal owners are John Milo Overstreet and Lyle Harley Cole.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
BCO Wealth offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. BCO Wealth creates an
Investment Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation
(income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan to aid in the
selection of a portfolio that matches each client's specific situation. Portfolio management
services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
BCO Wealth evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk
tolerance levels and time horizon. BCO Wealth will request discretionary authority from
clients in order to select securities and execute transactions without permission from the
client prior to each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment
Policy Statement, which is given to each client.
BCO Wealth seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the
fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of BCO Wealth’s
economic, investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, BCO
Wealth attempts to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that
systematically advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, BCO
Wealth’s policy is to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment
opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid favoring one client over another
over time. It is BCO Wealth’s policy to allocate investment opportunities and transactions
it identifies as being appropriate and prudent among its clients on a fair and equitable
basis over time.
As part of its Portfolio Management Services, BCO Wealth will sometimes manage client
portfolios using SEI’s Asset Allocation Program, sponsored by SEI Investment
Management Corp ("SIMC"). In this program, SIMC provides advisory services to Adviser
(but not to the client) involving the structure and design of asset allocation portfolios
comprised solely of mutual funds advised by SIMC. SIMC also advises Adviser with
respect to reallocation and rebalancing of investments within such asset allocation
programs. BCO Wealth determines the client's investment objectives, investment time
horizon, and risk profile by means of an interview process and the completion of a
questionnaire. This process will help BCO Wealth review the client's situation and enable
BCO Wealth to recommend an initial asset allocation. The client may place reasonable
restrictions on the nature of the funds held in the portfolio or the allocation among the
various classes, and BCO Wealth will assist the client in understanding and evaluating
the potential impact of these restrictions on the model portfolios. SEI Private Trust
Company (a subsidiary of SEI Investments Company) acts as the transfer agent and
custodian for the client's account.
BCO Wealth may direct clients to third-party investment advisers to manage all or a
portion of the client's assets. Before selecting other advisers for clients, BCO Wealth will
always ensure those other advisers are properly licensed or registered as an investment
adviser. BCO Wealth conducts due diligence on any third-party investment adviser,
which may involve one or more of the following: phone calls, meetings and review of the
third-party adviser's performance and investment strategy. BCO Wealth
then makes
investments with a third-party investment adviser by referring the client to the third-party
adviser. BCO Wealth will review the ongoing performance of the third-party adviser as a
portion of the client's portfolio. Specifically, BCO Wealth generally recommends the three
third-party arrangements detailed in Item 5 under Selection of Other Advisers Fees.
Pension Consulting Services
BCO Wealth offers consulting services to pension or other employee benefit plans
(including but not limited to 401(k) plans). Pension consulting may include, but is not
limited to:
• identifying investment objectives and restrictions
• providing guidance on various assets classes and investment options
• recommending money managers to manage plan assets in ways designed to
achieve objectives
• monitoring performance of money managers and investment options and
making recommendations for changes
• recommending other service providers, such as custodians, administrators
and broker-dealers
• creating a written pension consulting plan
These services are based on the goals, objectives, demographics, time horizon, and/or risk
tolerance of the plan and its participants.
Financial Planning
Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to: investment
planning; life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and
debt/credit planning.

securities, real estate funds (including REITs), equities, ETFs (including ETFs in the gold
and precious metal sectors), treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds and non-

individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the

session to get to know the client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that
will be executed by BCO Wealth on behalf of the client. BCO Wealth may use model
allocations together with a specific set of recommendations for each client based on their
personal restrictions, needs, and targets. Clients may impose restrictions in investing in
certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs.
