the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential

Financial Planning Services
Quantum Leap Capital provides a variety of financial planning services to Clients, pursuant to a written financial
planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their
goals, objectives and financial situation through an ongoing relationship or a limited scope engagement, pursuant
to the financial planning agreement. Clients may also request to have the Advisor implement the financial plan on
a non-discretionary basis or have assets placed on an online investment management platform.
Generally, such financial planning services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial
consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. The planning will include a detailed analysis of,
and recommendations and advice on optimization of, cash flow, debt structure, insurance coverage, investment
holdings, tax planning, retirement income planning, estate planning, and where appropriate, business planning.
Additionally, planning may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to personal savings,
education savings and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for or financial 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.
Quantum Leap Capital may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or another specialist, as appropriate for
their unique situation. For certain financial planning 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. One time plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6)
months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
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.
Business Planning Services
Quantum Leap Capital also offers Business Planning Services, pursuant to a written business planning
agreement. Services are offered in several areas, 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,
forecasting, business strategy, and reporting.
A business consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of
activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. Quantum Leap Capital may also refer Clients to an
accountant, attorney or another specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation.
Business consulting recommendations may pose a potential conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, a recommendation to engage the Advisor for wealth management services or
to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor would pose a conflict, as it would increase the 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 execute the transaction through the Advisor.
Investment Management Services
Quantum Leap Capital will implement the investments defined in the financial plan, on a non-discretionary basis,
at the request of the Client. The Advisor will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the
goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Clients will not be charged additional
fees for the ongoing management of the investments of the financial plan.
At no time will Quantum Leap Capital accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities. All Client assets
will be managed within their designated account[s] at the Custodian.
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.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Quantum Leap Capital 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:
• Establishing a Financial Plan – Quantum Leap Capital, in connection with the Client, will develop a
financial plan targeted to achieve the Client’s investment goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Quantum Leap Capital, in accordance with the financial plan, will develop a strategic
asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and
tolerance of risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Quantum Leap Capital, in accordance with the financial plan, will develop a
portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
