B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
CA offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives, time horizon,
and risk tolerance of each client. CA creates an Investment Policy Statement for each client, which outlines
the client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels). Portfolio management services
include, but are not limited to, the following:
▪ Investment strategy
▪ Asset allocation
▪ Risk tolerance
▪ Personal investment policy
▪ Asset selection
▪ Regular portfolio monitoring
CA evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels and time
horizon. With respect to publicly-traded securities, such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and
individual equity and fixed-income securities, as well as some privately-traded securities, CA will request
discretionary authority from clients in order to select these types of securities and execute transactions
without permission from the client prior to each transaction. In cases where CA recommends a private fund
or other pooled investment vehicle that has a selling agreement with a related person of CA, CA will obtain
the client’s consent before investing in the security so as to help mitigate any conflict of interest. Risk
tolerance levels provided by clients are documented in the Investment Policy Statement.
CA seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary duties owed to its
accounts and without consideration of CA’s economic, investment or other financial interests. To meet its
fiduciary obligations, CA attempts to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that
systematically advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, CA’s policy is to seek
fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid favoring
one client over another over time. It is CA’s policy to allocate investment opportunities and transactions it
identifies as being appropriate and prudent, including initial public offerings ("IPOs") and other investment

opportunities that might have a limited supply, among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time. CA
does not limit its advice to any particular types of securities.
With regard to held away assets, such as defined contribution plan participant accounts, CA may use a
third-party platform to facilitate management of these accounts on a discretionary basis. CA will not have
direct access to client log-in credentials to affect trades using this platform. CA is not affiliated with the
platform in any way and receives no compensation from the company making available the platform.
Selection of Other Advisers
CA may direct clients to separately managed accounts (SMA) managed by third-party money managers. CA
may be compensated via a fee share from the advisors to which it directs those clients. The fees shared will
not exceed any limit imposed by any regulatory agency. Before selecting other advisors for clients, CA will
ensure those other advisors are properly licensed or registered as an investment advisor.
Financial Planning
Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to: investment planning; life
insurance;
tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and debt/credit planning (collectively
“Financial Planning”). The agreement for Financial Planning is referred to as the "Comprehensive Planning
Agreement”.
Retirement Rollovers
A client leaving an employer typically has four options (and may engage in a combination of these options):
I. Leave the money in their former employer’s plan, if permitted,
II. Roll over the assets to their new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted,
III. Rollover to an IRA, or
IV. Cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax
consequences).
CA may recommend an investor roll over retirement plan assets to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
managed by CA. As a result, CA and its advisors may earn an asset-based fee on those assets. When we
provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account,
we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way
we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires
us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Specifically, if CA recommends a
client roll over its retirement assets to a CA managed account, such a recommendation creates a conflict
of interest if CA will earn new (or increase its current) compensation as a result of the rollover. Depending
on the options available to the individual, rolling over assets to a CA managed account could incur higher
fees than leaving it in a current plan or moving to another employer-sponsored plan. In contrast, a
recommendation that a client or prospective client leave their plan assets with their old employer or roll
the assets to a plan sponsored by a new employer will generally result in no compensation to CA. CA has
an economic incentive to encourage an investor to roll plan assets into an IRA that CA will manage.
C R E W E A D V I S O R S F O R M A D V P A R T 2 A – V . 0 3 . 2 8 . 2 4 3
There are various factors that CA may consider before recommending a rollover, including but not limited
to:
I. The investment options available in the plan versus the investment options available in an IRA,
II. Fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees and expenses in an IRA,
III. The services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals versus CA’s,
IV. Protection of assets from creditors and legal judgments,
V. Required minimum distributions and age considerations,
VI. Employer stock tax consequences, if any,
VII. Plan’s withdrawal options or limitations, before and/or after retirement
No client is under any obligation to rollover retirement plan assets to an account managed by CA.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
CA offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client investment strategies and
their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment Policy Statement which outlines each
client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels). Clients may impose restrictions in
investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if
the restrictions prevent CA from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require
CA to deviate from its standard suite of services, CA reserves the right to end the relationship.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that includes
management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and other administrative fees. CA does not participate
in any wrap fee programs.
E. Assets Under Management
CA has the following assets under management:
