Portfolio Management Services - Wrap Account
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients'
needs and investment objectives.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant us discretionary
authority to manage your account. Subject to a grant of discretionary authorization, we have the authority and
responsibility to formulate investment strategies on your behalf. Discretionary authorization will allow us to
determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account
without obtaining your approval prior to each transaction. We will also have discretion over the broker or dealer
to be used for securities transactions in your account. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the
investment advisory agreement you sign with our firm, a power of attorney, or trading authorization forms.
You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased or
sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing.
We may also offer non-discretionary portfolio management services. If you enter into non-discretionary
arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any transactions on behalf of your
account. You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any advice provided by our firm on a non-
discretionary basis.
As part of our portfolio management services, in addition to other types of investments (see disclosures below
in this section), we may invest your assets according to one or more model portfolios developed by an
unaffiliated investment manager. These models are designed for investors with varying degrees of risk
tolerance ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to a more conservative investment approach.
Clients whose assets are invested in model portfolios may not set restrictions on the specific holdings or
allocations within the model, nor the types of securities that can be purchased in the model. Nonetheless,
clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities in their account. In such
cases, this may prevent a client from investing in certain models that are managed by our firm.

As part of our portfolio management services, we may use model portfolios developed by Envestnet, Inc. or
another sub-adviser to manage all or a portion of your account on a discretionary basis to the extent we
determine it is a suitable recommendation based on your objectives. We may select one or more model
portfolios to manage your account. We will regularly monitor the performance of your accounts sub-managed
by Envestnet, Inc. or another sub-adviser(s). We do not have discretion to hire and fire any sub-advisors
without client consent. Prior to introducing clients to another investment adviser, we will ensure the other
investment adviser is properly licensed, noticed filed, or exempt from registration with the the state you are
domiciled in. We have the discretion and authority to re-allocate your assets at any time. You will not pay our
firm a higher advisory fee as a result of any sub-advisory relationships that we enter into. All advisory fees are
payable in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in Item 5 and as per the specific terms of your signed
advisory agreement.
Financial Planning Services
We offer financial planning services which typically involve providing a variety of advisory services to clients
regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their individual needs. These
services can range from broad-based financial planning to consultative or single subject planning. If you retain
our firm for financial planning services, we will meet with you to gather information about your financial
circumstances and objectives. We may also use financial planning software to determine your current financial
position and to define and quantify your long-term goals and objectives. Once we specify those long-term
objectives (both financial and non-financial), we will develop shorter-term, targeted objectives. Once we review
and analyze the
information you provide to our firm and the data derived from our financial planning software,
we will deliver a written plan to you, designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals and objectives.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the
financial information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation, goals,
objectives, or needs change.
Pursuant to California Code of Regulations, 10 CCR Section 260.235.2, Stonecrest Advisors, Inc. hereby
makes the following statement: a conflict exists between the interest of Stonecrest Advisors, Inc. and the
interests of the client. Further, the client is under no obligation to act upon Stonecrest Advisors, Inc.
recommendations, and if the client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the client is under no
obligation to effect the transactions through Stonecrest Advisors, Inc.
All material conflicts of interest under CCR Section 260.238 (k) are disclosed regarding the investment adviser,
its representatives or any of its employees, which could be reasonably expected to impair the rendering of
unbiased and objective advice.
While the firm endeavor at all times to offer clients its specialized services at reasonable costs, the fees
charged by other advisers for comparable services may be lower than the fees charged by Stonecrest
Advisors, Inc.
Wrap Fee Program Disclosures
Our portfolio management services described above are offered on a wrap-fee basis. All clients that
participate in our portfolio management services described above, will pay our firm a single fee, which includes
our portfolio management fees, transaction and custodial costs. You will be responsible for postage and/or
confirmation fees billed separately by the custodian. The overall cost you will incur if you participate in our
wrap-fee portfolio management program may be higher or lower than you might incur by separately purchasing
the types of investments available in the program. For additional disclosures concerning the Wrap Fee

appropriate for active accounts and are managed accordingly.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field Assistance
Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction
Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to you.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement
account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we
make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to
act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we manage
or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management and, in turn, our
advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in your best interest.
Assets Under Management
As of February 27, 2024, we provide continuous management services for $62,822,550 in client assets on a
discretionary basis, and $70,980,422 in client assets on a non-discretionary basis.
