Description of the Wrap Fee Program
Under this Wrap Fee Program, Davivienda Advisors bundles, or “wraps”, investment advisory
(portfolio selection and management), execution, settlement, custody, and various administrative
services together and charges a single fee. The fee is based on the value of the assets under
management (“AUM”).
Davivienda Advisors provides discretionary investment advisory services to clients through a
digital platform by utilizing algorithms and methodologies for developing and implementing Model
Portfolios (described below) with differing risk criteria. Due to the discretionary nature of the
services offered, Davivienda Advisors will invest the available funds in a selected portfolio and
make periodic adjustments and rebalancing transactions without asking clients for their
concurrence or approval.
Davivienda Advisors provides its advisory services utilizing BCP Advisors LLC (d/b/a BCP Global)
as a sub-adviser and using their proprietary online and mobile platform to digitize the processes
of customer onboarding (individuals), account services, investment profile assessment, portfolio
recommendation, and investment management.
Under our sub-advisory agreement, BCP Global is responsible for operating the platform and its
related services. Davivienda Advisors will provide its clients access to the BCP Global platform
via its interactive website and mobile application. BCP Global has retained the services of
Interactive Brokers LLC (member FINRA/SIPC) (“Interactive Brokers” or “custodian”) for all the
execution, clearing, and custody services. Clients will open cash accounts at Interactive Brokers
to maintain their assets.
Investment Advisory Process
As a first step, clients complete an online investment profile questionnaire by answering nine
questions, including, investment knowledge and experience, financial situation, relative size of
the investment, access to emergency funds, investment goal or objective, investment horizon,
and risk tolerance.
Based on the analysis of the information provided by the client, the algorithm embedded in the
platform will recommend one or more suitable investment portfolios (the “Model Portfolios”) that
are designed to meet the client’s investment profile. The client will have the ability to choose \the
recommended portfolio or disregard it and select another available portfolio. Clients could impose
reasonable restrictions on the Model Portfolio, including the designation of particular securities or
types of securities that should not be purchased or maintained for the client accounts; provided,
however, that nothing herein requires that the Client has the ability to require that particular
securities or types of securities be purchased for the client accounts.
The algorithm considers only the information provided by the client in answering the
questionnaire. Other important information, if not included in the answers to the questionnaire,
will not be considered in the recommendation.
Once the account has been funded and invested in the selected Model Portfolio, BCP Global will
periodically rebalance the portfolio according to the recommendations of BlackRock Financial
Management, Inc. (“BlackRock”), our model provider.
Inflows and outflows would require buy or sell transactions to be made in adequate proportions
to maintain target exposure weights. Furthermore, significant market movements may put the
portfolio out of balance and require transactions to bring target exposure weights back to normal.
Clients may use the online platform to request a portfolio change anytime.
Davivienda Advisors, in its role as investment advisor and fiduciary, supervises and customizes
the investment profile questionnaire, provides parameters for the algorithm controlling the
portfolio recommendations, and monitors the investment management process, including
portfolio rebalancing.
Model Portfolios
The Model Portfolios consist mainly of a combination of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) or
Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”) that have been pre-
selected because of their suitability to provide efficient market exposure and adequate
diversification. ETFs are investment funds made up of a collection of assets, such as stocks and
bonds, that are traded like individual stocks. UCITS are mutual funds registered in Europe under
A unified regulatory framework that can be sold to investors worldwide. UCITS ETFs are issued
under the UCITS framework, suitable for non-US customers, and usually trading in European
exchanges.
Each Model Portfolio has been designed to meet one or more investment goals or objectives and,
in this sense, will provide an expected level of return with a corresponding level of residual (non-
diversifiable) risks. This investment approach relies on the Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) tenets.
According to this theory, the optimal investment portfolio seeks to maximize returns for a certain
level of residual risk. This is achieved by reducing diversifiable risks by combining asset classes
and issuers with low and, in a few cases, negative correlations.
The investment styles reflected in our Model Portfolios may include long-term (buy and hold)
allocations which would rebalance about once per year and tactical (active) allocations which
would rebalance about 4-6 times per year.
The purpose of our Model Portfolios is to deliver efficiency, transparency, and cost-effectiveness.
The ETFs and UCITS
(ETFs) that comprise the Model Portfolios' components aim to meet specific
goals, such as broad diversification, targeted exposure, and tax efficiency. The ETF selection
process uses a database of more than 300 ETFs and is primarily driven by the exposure provided
and their cost and operational efficiency.
More information is available under Item 6. Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation.
Fee Schedule
The management fees charged by Davivienda Advisors are established in each client’s written
agreement. Davivienda Advisors bundles, or “wraps,” investment advisory, portfolio
management, and most brokerage, custody, clearing, settlement, and other administrative
services and charges a single fee.
Management fees may be flat, fixed, or mixed upon negotiation. However, generally, and pursuant
to the contract, fees for the management of accounts will be based upon a percentage of the total
assets in the account. Davivienda Advisors typically charges an annual management fee as per
the table below:
Up to $100,000 1.60% of the AUM (Assets under Management)
$100,001 to $500,000 1.40% of the AUM
$500,001 to $1,000,000 1.20% of the AUM
Over $1,000,000** 1.00% of the AUM
**Management fees for AUM over $1,000,000 are negotiable.
No management fees are assessed on zero balance accounts.
The outlined management (wrap) fee pays for all Davivienda Advisors’ advisory and portfolio
management services as well as Interactive Brokers’ covered brokerage services. Interactive
Brokers will not charge you any fee in connection with the Program other than the specified wrap
fee unless you request services beyond the covered brokerage services, which can include,
without limitation, the transfer of shares from your Interactive Brokers’ account to a brokerage
account not associated with the Adviser, among others.
The advisory fee is automatically calculated and charged by Interactive Brokers. The calculation
is made daily based on the ending market value (“EMV”) of the assets managed by the Adviser.
To make the daily calculation, Interactive Brokers applies the annual agreed-upon tiered rate to
the EMV and divides it by 252 business days for the year. The monthly fee charged is the sum
of the daily fee calculations.
The client shall pay Davivienda Advisors in arrears for services provided under the contract
during each calendar month.
You will grant us the authority to receive our advisory fees from your account at Interactive
Brokers. Clients agree that all fees will be deducted monthly from their accounts. When services
are provided for less than one calendar month, the fee will be prorated based on the number of
business days for which services were provided within the month. In rare cases where the
automatic fee deduction arrangement is not in place, we will bill you directly for our services.
As previously mentioned, commissions charged by Interactive Brokers for trade execution will be
absorbed by Davivienda Advisors.
Davivienda Advisors does not charge performance-based fees, that is, advisory fees based on a
share of the capital gains or appreciation of a client's assets.
If Davivienda Advisors, BCP Global, or Interactive Brokers suspend all services under the Wrap
Fee Program, Davivienda Advisors, at its sole discretion, will credit to your advisory account
maintained at Interactive Brokers the prorated fee for the period during which all services for the
account were suspended.
Fees charged directly by the ETFs and UCITS
Clients acknowledge that certain investments, such as the ETFs and UCITS that comprise the
Portfolios, charge their own fees and/or expenses. In such cases, the deduction of the fees and
expenses of the ETFs and UCITS occurs from the ETFs and UCITS’ average net assets, including
the brokerage fees and other costs and charges incurred internally in the ETFs and UCITS.
These fees and expenses are reflected in the price of the ETF and UCITS shares and are not
separately deducted from your advisory account held with Interactive Brokers. The fees and
expenses charged by the ETFs and UCITS are separate and distinct from the wrap fee for our
advisory services. By participating in Davivienda Advisors’ services, clients acknowledge that
they have access to information concerning the fees charged and costs incurred by each.
ETF and UCITS are outlined in the applicable fact sheets available on the Davivienda Advisors’
Website and BCP Global online platform. Please note if you request the delivery of paper
documents (i.e., account statements) that Davivienda Advisors or the broker/custodian provides
typically in electronic format, additional fees may be assessed by Davivienda Advisors or the
broker/custodian.
Termination of the Agreement
Either party may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) at any time by
written notice. Termination of the Agreement will not affect (a) the validity of any actions
previously taken by us under the Agreement; (b) liabilities or obligations of the parties from
transactions initiated before termination of the Agreement; or (c) your obligation to pay the
advisory fees (pro-rated through the date of termination).
Clients may at any time elect to close the account and terminate the agreements with all entities
via email at
[email protected] or via a signed letter to Davivienda Advisors’
principal office address. Upon receipt of any requests to terminate the agreement and close a
customer account, Davivienda Advisors through BCP Global will:
● Instruct the broker/custodian to settle any pending purchases or sales.
● Instruct the broker/custodian to initiate liquidating sales on all ETFs and UCITS shares
in the account and to send the account balance, minus any portion of the wrap fee or
other fees due1, to the account you have registered and instruct us to deliver the funds
to.
Alternatively, if a client requests to transfer the holdings in their account with us to another
account in their own name and at another custodian, we will transfer the available shares if
the other custodian is able to accept them. In such cases, Davivienda Advisors will instruct
BCP Global to instruct Interactive Brokers to transfer the shares in accordance with the
client’s instructions, minus any fees due for in-kind transfers to another custodian.
