Portfolio Management Services – Individual “Private” Clients
Creekside Wealth Management offers portfolio management services for private clients within the larger context
of an overall disciplined financial planning and wealth management process. Portfolio management services
consist of ongoing financial advice and discretionary and/or non-discretionary portfolio management services
where investment advice is tailored to meet your individual circumstances and investment objectives. These
services include an initial discovery consultation and ongoing review consultations to discuss your unique
financial situation and changing needs over time. We may ask that you complete certain investor questionnaires,
on-boarding forms, and/or other documents to assist us in gathering information about your financial needs and
circumstances. This includes information related to your investment experience, investment objectives, time
horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance, tax circumstances, and various other factors necessary for us to develop a
complete investor profile.
Based on our evaluation of the investor profile, we will use the information we gather to develop a strategy that
enables our firm to give you ongoing, focused investment advice and/or to make investments on your behalf.
Once we construct an investment portfolio for you, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing
basis and will rebalance the portfolio as appropriate. Clients are required to notify our firm immediately if their
financial circumstances and/or investment objectives change from what has already been disclosed to us.
As part of our portfolio management services, and depending on your individual needs, we may create a custom
portfolio, or we may invest your assets according to one or more model portfolios managed by our firm.
Additionally, we may also use or recommend one or more sub-advisers to manage a portion of your account on a
discretionary basis, in which case we will regularly monitor the performance of your account(s) managed by the
sub-adviser(s). In certain circumstances we may have the ability to hire and/or fire any sub-adviser without your
prior approval. All terms of your advisory engagement will be evidenced in a written agreement between you and
our firm, and possibly a third- party sub-adviser, if applicable.
Portfolio Management Services – Institutional Public Funds Clients Only
Bond-Tech, Inc. specializes in fixed income portfolio management for public funds. Our institutional clients
each
have an Investment Policy which governs the management of their portfolio. Client relationships are initiated
with a deep understanding of their investment goals and liquidity needs. Objectives of capital conservation,
liquidity, and return are priorities for how each portfolio is managed. Portfolios are managed on a discretionary
basis subject to all limitations defined in the Investment Policy and firm advisory agreement.
For information on the investment strategies and methods of analysis we may utilize when managing your

Strategies and Risk of Loss section) of this Disclosure Brochure. For information on the different types of
management authority we offer under our portfolio management services, please see Item 16 (Investment
Discretion section) of this Disclosure Brochure.
Financial Planning Services
We provide financial planning services as a stand-alone service where we offer modular, consultative, and/or
broad-based financial planning services. These services related to the management of the client's financial
resources vary based upon an analysis of their individual needs. If you retain our firm for financial planning
services, we will meet with you to gather information about your financial circumstances and objectives. As
required, we will conduct follow-up interviews for the purpose of reviewing and/or collecting additional
financial data. Once such information has been reviewed and analyzed, we will provide you with our financial
planning recommendations designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals and objectives.
Financial planning recommendations are based on your financial situation at the time we provide our
recommendations, and on the financial information you provide to our firm. You have the right to accept or reject
our financial planning recommendations and are under no obligation to act on our financial planning
recommendations. All terms of the financial planning engagement, including specific services to be performed,
will be evidenced in a written agreement between you and our firm.
Retirement Plan Consulting
We offer consulting services to various types of retirement plans. These services include but are not limited to
review of plan documents, participant education and enrollment, review of investment options, and investment
recommendations.
Types of Investments
While you may ask for investment advice regarding any type of security and/or investment product, we primarily
provide recommendations related to: mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), equity securities (stocks),
debt securities (bonds), and unit investment trusts (UITs). Additionally, we may advise you on any type of
investment we deem appropriate based on your stated goals and objectives, including advice on any type of
investment held in your portfolio at the inception of our advisory relationship. You may request that we refrain
from investing in specific securities or certain categories of securities. Such requests must be submitted in
writing and will be periodically verified with you.
