While this brochure generally describes the business of the Firm, certain sections also discuss the activities of
its Supervised Persons, which refer to the Firm’s officers, partners, directors (or other persons occupying a
similar status or performing similar functions), employees or any other person who provides investment
advice on the Firm’s behalf and is subject to the Firm’s supervision or control. The Firm does not offer a
wrap fee program.
Advisory Services Offered
Elevatus offers discretionary investment management, investment advisory services and financial planning.
Prior to the Firm rendering any of the foregoing advisory services, clients are required to enter into one or
more written agreements with the Firm setting forth the relevant terms and conditions of the advisory
relationship (the “Advisory Agreement”).
Investment Management Services
Elevatus offers continuous and regular investment supervisory services on a discretionary basis. We work
with clients and have the ongoing responsibility to select and/or make recommendations based upon the
objectives of the client, as to specific securities or other investments that he/she recommends or
purchases/sells in clients’ accounts. We utilize a variety of investment types when making investment
recommendations/purchases in client accounts which include, but are not limited to equity securities,
fixed income securities, alternatives, and mutual funds. The investments recommended/purchased are
based off of the clients’ individual needs, goals, and objectives. The Firm offers investment advice on any
investment held by the client at the start of the advisory relationship. We describe the material
investment risks under Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss. Financial
Planning may be provided to clients as a part of the Investment Management Services. When being
provided as a separate service it is described in this section under Financial Consulting Services below.
We discuss our discretionary authority below under Item 16 – Investment Discretion. For more
information about the restrictions clients can put on their accounts, see Tailored Services and Client
Imposed Restrictions in this item below. We describe the fees charged for investment management
services below under Item 5 – Fees and Compensation.
Financial Planning Services
Our Financial Planning Services Service offers clients the ability to have their investment portfolio
allocated among different financial institutions and reviewed by an Investment Adviser Representative
for a negotiated fee. This consultation offers the client a detailed look at their financial condition in
relation to their investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, and any financial goals that they may
be seeking to achieve. This Financial Consultation Service offered by us may or may not be in conjunction
with one of our other fee-based programs.
Elevatus provides a variety of financial consulting services to individuals, families, and other clients
regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of client’s current situation,
goals, and objectives. Consulting encompasses one or more of the following areas: 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, Business and Personal Financial Planning.
Our financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general recommendations for
a course of
activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients. In performing these services, Elevatus is not required
to verify any information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals (e.g.,
attorneys, accountants, etc.,) and is expressly authorized to rely on such information. We may
recommend clients engage the Firm for additional related services, its Supervised Persons in their
individual capacities as registered representatives of a broker-dealer and/or other professionals to
implement its recommendations. Clients are advised that a conflict of interest exists if clients engage
the Firm or its affiliates to provide additional services for compensation. Clients retain absolute
discretion over all decisions regarding implementation and are under no obligation to act upon any of
the recommendations made by the Firm under a financial planning or consulting engagement. Clients are
advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify the Firm of any change in their financial
situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising the Firms
recommendations and/or services.
For financial consulting engagements, we provide our clients with a written summary of our observations
and recommendations. One-time consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of the client
signing a contract with us, assuming that all the information and documents we request from the client
are provided to us promptly. Services provided under an on-going consultation agreement are conducted
on a regular basis, but no less than annually with the client. The client is under no obligation to act upon
the investment adviser’s recommendation. If the client elects to act on our recommendations, the client
is under no obligation to affect the transaction through us.
We describe fees charged for Financial Consultation Services below under Item 5 - Fees and Compensation.

Other Third-Party Services
The Firm has entered into a service agreement with Pontera (formerly FeeX Inc.) to provide asset
management services for accounts held away from our primary custodial affiliations. Through this, we are
able to create a portfolio, consisting of the securities/investment opportunities available depending on
the type of held away account being managed by our firm. The Pontera platform allows us to avoid being
considered to have custody of Client funds since we do not have direct access to Client log-in credentials
to affect trades. We are not affiliated with the platform in any way and receive no compensation from
them for using their platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect an account(s)
to the platform. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may
include some or all of the securities made available. 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.
Other Offerings
Elevatus may cover certain costs for tax filing preparation and estate planning services for qualified clients.
This benefit will be offered to clients with $750,000+ in investable assets. Elevatus may at its discretion
pay these fees for smaller households on a case-by-case basis.
