A. Description of the Advisory Firm
HDA Wealth Management, LLC (hereinafter “HDAWMHDAWM”) is a Limited Liability
Company organized in the State of Ohio.
B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
HDAWMHDAWM offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the
individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client.
HDAWMHDAWM creates an Investment Policy Statement for each client, which outlines
the client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then
constructs a plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client's specific
situation. Portfolio management services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy • Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation • Asset selection
• Risk tolerance • Regular portfolio monitoring
HDAWMHDAWM evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their
risk tolerance levels and time horizon. HDAWMHDAWM will request discretionary
authority from clients in order to select securities and execute transactions without
permission from the client prior to each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented
in the Investment Policy Statement, which is given to each client.
HDAWMHDAWM seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance
with the fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of
HDAWMHDAWM’s economic, investment or other financial interests. To meet its
fiduciary obligations, HDAWMHDAWM attempts to avoid, among other things,
investment or trading practices that systematically advantage or disadvantage certain
client portfolios, and accordingly, HDAWMHDAWM’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 HDAWM’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.

will be executed by HDAWM on behalf of the client. HDAWM may use model allocations
together with a specific set of recommendations for each client based on their personal
restrictions, needs, and targets. Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain
securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the

restrictions would require HDAWM to deviate from its standard suite of services,
HDAWM reserves the right to end the relationship.
