Commission-Based Discretionary Trading Some clients grant us discretionary trading authority on commission-based accounts. No management fees are assessed. No performance reporting is supplied. The dually registered representatives on the accounts will receive fully disclosed commissions only. No principal trades will be allowed. We recognize that a fiduciary relationship exists with these clients and will adhere to all applicable rules and regulations. Custody of the majority of client accounts for both securities and funds are maintained at Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC, designated custodian and clearing firm Rhodes Securities, Inc. However, you can select a custodian and/or a broker dealer of your choice, but you must negotiate your own custodian and broker fees under these circumstances. Third-Party Manager Selection In addition to in-house Portfolio Management Services, we offer access to outside Money Managers (TPMs) including but not limited to Luther King Capital Management and Smith Group Asset Management. Capital Ideas provides continuous due diligence on the TPMs they recommend. TPMs are selected by the clients based on the information provided by our agents, and discretion remains with the adviser on the account as to price and number of shares implemented from the outside managers’ recommendations. Due diligence will include such items as a review of current management to look for replacements or new additions to the team; performance comparisons to other similar management philosophies; comparison to comparable indexes; and, most importantly, review for appropriateness for client objectives and risk tolerances. Clients who are referred to TPMs will receive full disclosure, including services rendered and fee schedules, at the time of the referral by delivery of a copy of the relevant TPM’s brochure or equivalent disclosure document and privacy policy, prior to placing the assets with the Manager. The TPM may impose a minimum dollar amount for initial client assets for the investment advisory services as disclosed in the management agreement. These minimums may be waived at the TPM’s discretion. ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT: As of April 11, 2024, Capital Ideas had approximately $213,746,847 in discretionary assets under management.
