B. Advisory Services Offered
MKT Advisors offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
charitable organizations, foundations, businesses, and/or retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary,
the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. MKT Advisor’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For

Investment Management Services
MKT Advisors provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment
management and related advisory services. MKT Advisors works closely with each Client to identify their
investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio
strategy. MKT Advisors will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of individual stocks, individual bonds,
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, and/or options to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The
Advisor may also utilize other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of the Client. The Advisor
may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations. The client’s individual
investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and stated objectives and may include some or all the
previously mentioned securities.
MKT Advisor’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. MKT Advisors will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals,
objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place
reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by
the Advisor.
MKT Advisors evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. MKT Advisors may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify
the portfolio. MKT Advisors may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The
Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. MKT Advisors
may recommend selling 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 the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk
deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

At no time will MKT Advisors accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Financial Consulting / Planning – MKT Advisors may also provide a variety of financial consulting and planning
services to Clients as part of its advisory relationship. This consulting may encompass one or more of the following
areas: Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable Planning, Education Planning,
Insurance Analysis, and Business and/or Personal Financial Planning. Our financial consultations rendered to
Clients usually include personalized recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the
Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client begins or revises investment programs,
create or revise wills or trusts, obtain or revise insurance coverage, commence or alter retirement savings, or
establish education or charitable giving programs. It should also be noted that the Advisor may refer the Client to
an accountant, attorney or other specialist, as necessary for non-advisory related services.
Use of Independent Managers – MKT Advisors may also recommend that a Client utilize one or more unaffiliated
investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s
investment portfolio. In such instances, the Client may be required to authorize and enter into an advisory
agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will
provide investment management and related services. The Advisor may also assist in the development of the initial
policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing
oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Manager[s] to ensure the Independent Managers’
strategies and target allocations remain aligned with investment objectives and overall best interests. The Client,
prior to entering into an agreement with unaffiliated investment manager[s] or investment platform[s], will be
provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging MKT Advisors to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into a
written agreement with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – MKT Advisors, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – MKT Advisors will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
