A. Description of Advisor.
Southland Equity Partners (“us”, “we”, “our”, “Firm”, or “Advisor”) is a Limited Liability Company organized
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, with its principal business office located in Wildwood,
Missouri. Eric Antrobius is the Managing Principal of the Firm and we have been in business since 2010.
We offer investment advisory products and services to individuals, high net worth individuals, pension/profit
sharing plans, and businesses. Our products and services are offered through advisory representatives of
Southland Equity Partners. We manage client assets directly, or indirectly through unaffiliated portfolio
managers that we recommend.
B. Advisory Services Offered.
A. Financial Planning Services
We prepare and provide you with a financial plan designed to help you achieve your financial goals
and investment objectives. The preparation of a plan may be provided in written form and may
necessitate that you provide us with personal data such as: family records; budgeting; personal
liability; estate information; and additional financial goals.
The financial plan may include any, or all, of the following areas: personal; tax and cash flow;
retirement; estate; insurance; and investments.
Planning and review of investments may include the assessment of: brokerage accounts; mutual
fund accounts; and the sub-accounts within variable annuities.
Should you choose to implement the recommendations, we suggest you work closely with your
attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or broker-dealer representative.
B. Direct Asset Management Services
We perform research, consultation and implementation for a portfolio that is designed to meet your
objectives, risk tolerance, tax considerations, time horizon, and unique needs and circumstances.
The investment strategies utilized, and portfolios constructed and managed, depend on the
confidential information that you provide us. You are expected to promptly communicate to us any
changes in financial conditions or objectives. Model portfolios, options, and/or margin may be used
as a part of the investment strategy. However, you have the opportunity to place reasonable
restrictions on the type of investments to be held in the portfolio. We may periodically rebalance
your account to maintain the initially agreed-upon asset allocation on a discretionary or
nondiscretionary basis. Investment decisions in accounts managed on a discretionary basis are
made by the Advisor. A customized portfolio is created for each individual investor based on their
individual needs. No changes are made to the agreed-upon asset allocation in nondiscretionary
accounts without your prior review and consent.

C. Unaffiliated Portfolio Managers
In addition to direct asset management services, we have entered into agreements with various
other unaffiliated investment advisors for the provision of portfolio management services. To assist
you in the selection of a particular outside portfolio manager, we typically gather information from
you about your financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions that you want
imposed on the management of the account. You may reference the third-party manager’s
Brochure to find out more about the manager and services offered.
Based on information gathered from you, we evaluate and recommend the use of an unaffiliated
portfolio manager for one or more of the asset classes in your portfolios. Factors considered in the
selection of outside portfolio managers include: your risk tolerance; goals;
objectives; investment
experience; fees charged to you by the portfolio manager; the experience and capabilities of the
portfolio manager; and the amount of assets that you have available for investment.
All securities transactions are decided upon and executed by the portfolio manager. Typically, the
portfolio manager exercises discretion in the management of client accounts. We do not manage,
or obtain discretionary authority over, the assets in accounts participating in these programs.
We periodically review reports that are provided to you. We contact you at least annually, or more
often as agreed upon, to: review your financial situation and objectives; communicate information
to the portfolio manager as warranted; and to assist you in understanding and evaluating the
services provided. You are expected to notify us of any changes in your financial situation,
investment objectives, or account restrictions.
D. Retirement Plan Consulting Services
We offer retirement consulting services to employee benefit plans (collectively, “Plans”) and their
fiduciaries. The services are designed to assist the plan sponsor (the “Company”) in meeting its
management and fiduciary obligations to the plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act (“ERISA”). Retirement consulting services are provided pursuant to a retirement plan consulting
services agreement, and will consist of general or specific advice, that includes services other than
investment advisory services.
The Company may also engage us to provide a review of executive benefits, for separate
compensation.
We will determine with the Company, in advance, the scope of services to be performed and the
fees for all requested services. Prior to engaging us to provide consulting services, the Company
will be required to enter into a written agreement with us setting forth the terms and conditions of
the engagement, describing the scope of the services to be provided, and the relevant fees and fee-
paying arrangements. The services outlined above that we provide are explained in more detail in
the written agreement. We will also provide additional disclosures about our services and fees,
where required by ERISA.
When we perform the agreed upon services, we will not be required to verify the accuracy or
consistency of any information received from the Company.
We will serve in a non-discretionary ERISA fiduciary capacity with respect to the services that we
provide which will be further explained in the written agreement we sign with the Company. The
Company is always free to seek independent advice about the appropriateness of any
recommendations made by us.
