Brochure Summary

Overview

A. Firm Information Intellectus Partners, LLC (“Intellectus” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of Delaware. Intellectus was founded in September 2014, and is owned and operated by David La Placa (Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer) and Thomas “Jay” Casey (Co-Founder and President). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Intellectus. B. Advisory Services Offered Intellectus offers investment advisory services to high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, business entities and private funds (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. Intellectus’ fiduciary commitment is further described in the Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading. Wealth Management Services Intellectus provides Clients with wealth management services, which generally includes discretionary and non- discretionary management of investment portfolios as well as a broad range of comprehensive investment consulting strategies. Intellectus works 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. Intellectus will then construct a portfolio, consisting of individual securities, bonds, accounts managed by unaffiliated investment managers and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize mutual funds, privately placed securities and private investment vehicles (including vehicles sponsored or managed by the Advisor or its affiliates (including the “Series Funds”, as defined below), and cryptocurrency exposure as appropriate, to meet the needs of certain Clients. Where appropriate, the Advisor may also provide advice regarding legacy holdings or securities not maintained at the primary Custodian, such as illiquid securities, retirement plans, education savings plans and insurance products. In such instances, the Advisor may not have the authority to direct the trading or allocation of these assets. Intellectus’ wealth management approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re- allocate positions that have been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. Intellectus 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. Intellectus evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. Intellectus 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 positions in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor. 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. Use of Independent Managers - Intellectus may recommend to Clients that all or a portion of their investment portfolio be implemented by utilizing one or more unaffiliated money managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”). Additionally, as discussed in Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations, Intellectus utilizes the Dynasty Financial Partners, LLC (“Dynasty”) turnkey asset management program (“TAMP”) services. Independent Managers may be sourced directly or accessed through the TAMP. The Client will be required to enter into a separate agreement with the Independent Manager[s]. Intellectus serves as the Client’s primary advisor and relationship manager. However, the Independent Manager[s] will assume discretionary authority for the day-to-day investment management of those assets placed in their control. Intellectus will assist and advise the Client in establishing investment objectives for their account[s], the selection of the Independent Manager[s], and defining any restrictions on the account[s]. Intellectus will continue to provide oversight of the Client’s account[s] and ongoing monitoring of the activities
of the Independent Manager[s]. The Independent Manager[s] will implement the selected investment strategies based on their investment mandates. The Client may be able to impose reasonable investment restrictions on these accounts, subject to the acceptance of these third parties. Intellectus does not receive any compensation from these Independent Managers, other than its investment advisory fee as described in Item 5 below. Participant Account Management– As part of the Advisor’s Investment Management Services, when appropriate, the Advisor will use a third-party platform to facilitate management of held away assets such as defined contribution plan participant accounts, with investment discretion. The platform enables the Advisor to gain access to Client account without having access through the Client’s credentials. This independent advisor access ensures that the Advisor will not have custody of Client funds or securities when implementing trades for the Client. The Advisor is not affiliated with the platform in any way and receives no compensation from the platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect their account[s] to the platform for the Advisor’s secure access. Wealth Coaching Services - Intellectus provides Clients with wealth coaching services, which generally includes coaching and advice on how to professionally optimize your approach to investing; including developing and applying non-discretionary investment and asset allocation, strategy, basic financial planning, trading assistance, and access to research and due diligence advice. Private Fund Management Intellectus serves as investment manager (herein the “Manager”) for private fund investments offerings on behalf of affiliated entities Intellectus Ventures, LLC and Intellectus Capital, LLC and their various privately offered series (each, a “Series Fund”). The investment objective of each Series Fund is to generate capital appreciation and provide long-term growth opportunity through its purchase of particular securities, defined in each Series Fund’s Offering Memorandum. For additional details, please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations. Investment Consulting Services Intellectus will typically provide a variety of investment consulting services to individuals, families, and unaffiliated private vehicles, pursuant to a written investment consulting agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals, objectives and financial situation. Generally, such consulting services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to: Business Planning Retirement Planning Cash Flow Forecasting Risk Management Trust and Estate Planning Charitable Giving Financial Reporting Distribution Planning Investment Consulting Tax Planning Manager Due Diligence Concentrated Investments Debt Management Balance Sheet Analysis These services may be provided on a stand-alone basis or incorporated into other services, including a comprehensive wealth management engagement. An investment consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. Intellectus may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or another specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain investment consulting engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly. Investment consulting recommendations pose a potential conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for wealth management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging Intellectus to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Asset Allocation – Intellectus 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.
• Portfolio Construction – Intellectus will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
• Investment Management and Supervision – Intellectus will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. D. Wrap Fee Programs Intellectus does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided directly by Intellectus. E. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2023, Intellectus manages $1,168,948,857 in Client assets, $852,610,635 of which are managed on a discretionary basis and $316,338,222 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
