Private Client Investment Management Services
Longevity Capital Management LLC’s (“Longevity Capital Management” or “Advisor”) principal
service is providing fee-based Investment Management Services and Comprehensive Financial
Planning Services to its Private Clients. Clients who commit $1 million to an account managed
by the Advisor are eligible to be included in the Total Advisory Services structure, which includes
Investment Management Services and Comprehensive Financial Planning based on a single
account management fee. Otherwise, clients may receive separate, standalone Financial Planning
Services but will be charged separate fees for the Investment Management and Financial Planning
Services. The Advisor practices custom management of portfolios, on a discretionary basis,
according to the client’s objectives. The Advisor’s primary approach is to use a tactical allocation
strategy aimed at reducing risk and increasing performance. The Advisor may use any of the
following: exchange listed securities, over-the-counter securities, corporate debt securities,
structured notes, CDs, life insurance, fixed annuities, municipal securities, mutual funds, United
States government securities, options in securities, and interests in partnerships investing in real
estate to accomplish this objective. The Advisor will not purchase any life insurance or fixed
annuity products on a discretionary basis and will discuss any such recommendations with the
client in advance. The Advisor measures and selects mutual funds by using various criteria, such
as the fund manager’s tenure, and/or overall career performance. The Advisor will, on occasion,
redistribute investment allocations to diversify the portfolio in an effort to reduce risk and increase
performance. The Advisor may acquire specific stocks to increase sector weighting and/or
dividend potential. The Advisor may employ cash positions as a possible hedge against market
movement which may adversely affect the portfolio. The Advisor may sell positions for reasons
that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk
exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the
position(s) in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of client, or any risk deemed unacceptable for
the client’s risk tolerance.
Private Client Investment Management Service Fees
Pursuant to an investment advisory contract signed by the Private Client,
the client will pay Longevity Capital Management an annual management fee, payable monthly in
advance, based on the value of portfolio assets of the account managed by the Advisor as of the
opening of business on the first business day of each month. New account fees will be prorated
from the inception of the account to the end of the first month.
Assets Under Management: Annual Fee:
Up to $500,000 1.50 %
$500,001 – $749,999 1.35 %
$750,000 – $999,999 1.20 %
$1 million – $2,999,999 1.00 %
$3 million – $5 million 0.80%
Over $5 million 0.60%
Fees will be calculated on a breakpoint schedule and are non-negotiable. Accounts with a value
of less than $500,000 will be charged a minimum annual advisory fee of $5,000. Investment

management fees will be directly deducted from the client account on a monthly basis by the
qualified custodian. The client will give written authorization permitting the Advisor to be paid
directly from their account held by the custodian. The custodian will send a statement at least
quarterly to the client.
The Advisor’s management fee will include all costs charged by the executing broker-dealer and
they will be paid by the Advisor. This method is typically characterized as a “wrap fee,” where
the management fee includes the investment advisory services as well as all transaction costs and
the client pays only that management fee and no other costs concerning the trading of the account.
Generally, clients in wrap fee accounts, with the transaction and custody costs included, will pay
a slightly higher management fee than in non-wrap accounts, where those costs are not included
in the fee. However, clients in a non-wrap account will pay the management fee solely for advisory
services and will also directly pay any transaction costs assessed by the executing broker-dealer,
such as commissions and transaction fees. The specific arrangement for each client will be
negotiated and defined in the investment advisory contract signed by each client, and no advisory
fee will exceed the maximum management fees noted above.
Longevity Capital Management’s wrap fee program includes investment advisory services and the
brokerage services provided by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a broker-dealer registered
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of FINRA and SIPC. Longevity
Capital Management is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab.
Schwab will act solely as a broker-dealer and not as an investment advisor to Longevity Capital
Management’s clients. In addition to compensating Longevity Capital Management for advisory
services, the wrap fee clients pay allows Longevity Capital Management to pay for brokerage and
execution services provided by Schwab. Longevity Capital Management does not charge clients
a higher advisory
fee based on account trading activity and may pay Schwab transaction costs for
certain executed securities transactions in wrap fee accounts. As a result, we may have a financial
incentive to limit orders for wrap fee accounts because some transactions will increase our
transaction costs. Thus, an incentive exists to trade less frequently in a wrap fee program.
When managing a client’s account on a wrap fee basis, Longevity Capital Management receives
as compensation for its investment advisory services the balance of the total wrap program fee the
client pays after any custodial, trading, and other management costs (including execution and
transaction fees) have been deducted. Accordingly, Longevity Capital Management may have a
conflict of interest because it has a financial incentive to maximize its compensation by seeking to
reduce or minimize the total costs incurred in client accounts subject to the wrap fee.
Longevity Capital Management’s wrap fee does not cover all fees and costs. All fees paid to
Longevity Capital Management for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders and the product sponsor in the case of
insurance products. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s or insurance product’s
prospectus. The fees not included in the wrap fee include charges imposed directly by a mutual
fund, index fund, or ETF, which shall be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e., fund management
fees and other fund expenses); mark-ups and mark-downs; spreads paid to market makers; fees
(such as a commission or mark-up) for trades executed away from Schwab at another broker-

dealer; wire transfer fees; and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities
transactions.
A wrap fee is not based directly on the number of transactions in the wrap account. Various factors
influence the relative cost of Longevity Capital Management’s wrap fee program to the client,
including the costs of investment advice, custody and brokerage services if the client purchased
them separately, the types of assets held in the account, and the frequency, type, and size of trades
in the account. Longevity Capital Management’s wrap fee program could cost the client more or
less than purchasing the Advisor’s investment advice and custody/brokerage services separately.
A wrap fee program may not be suitable for all accounts, including but not limited to accounts
holding primarily, and for any substantial period of time, cash or cash equivalents, fixed income
securities or no-transaction-fee mutual funds, or any other type of security that can be traded
without commissions or other transaction fees. In order to evaluate whether a wrap fee
arrangement is appropriate, clients should compare the agreed-upon wrap fee program with the
amounts that would be charged by other advisors, broker-dealers, and custodians, for advisory
fees, brokerage and execution costs, and custodial services comparable to those provided under
the Advisor’s wrap fee program.
Schwab and other custodians have eliminated commissions or transaction fees for online trades of
U.S. equities, ETFs, and options (subject to $0.65 per contract fee). This means that, in most cases,
when Longevity Capital Management buys and sells these types of securities, it will not have to
pay any commissions to Schwab. Longevity Capital Management encourages clients to review
Schwab’s pricing to compare the total costs of entering into a wrap fee arrangement versus a non-
wrap fee arrangement. If clients choose to enter into a wrap fee arrangement the total cost to invest
could exceed the cost of paying for brokerage and advisory services separately. To see what the
client would pay for transactions in a non-wrap account, please refer to Schwab’s most recent
pricing schedules available at
schwab.com/aspricingguide.
At no time will Longevity Capital Management accept or maintain custody of a client’s funds or
securities except for authorized fee deduction.
Longevity Capital Management’s fees are payable in advance. Upon termination, any fees paid in
advance will be prorated to the date of termination and any unearned fees will be refunded to client.
Where acting in the capacity of an insurance agent, investment advisor representatives of
Longevity Capital Management may as broker or agent effect insurance transactions for typical
and customary compensation. This practice presents a conflict of interest by creating an incentive
to recommend investment products based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s
needs. Clients are not obligated to use investment advisor representatives of Longevity Capital
Management to execute such insurance transactions. A client may be able to directly invest in
products recommended by the firm, without the services of investment advisor representatives of
Longevity Capital Management. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided
by Longevity Capital Management, which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in
determining which products or services are most appropriate to each client’s financial condition
and objectives.
