Parkview offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
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. Parkview’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s 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
Parkview provides wealth management services for its Clients. These services generally include a broad range
of comprehensive financial planning in connection with discretionary investment management of Client portfolios.
These services are described below.
Investment Management Services
Parkview provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related
advisory services. Parkview 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. Parkview will then construct an
investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to
achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds, options contracts, or
unaffiliated money managers to meet the needs of its Clients (as described below). The Advisor may retain
certain types of investments based on a Client’s legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax
considerations.
Parkview’s investment approach is 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. Parkview 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.
Parkview evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Parkview may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Parkview 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. Parkview 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 Parkview 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.
Use of Independent Managers - Parkview may recommend to Clients that all or a portion of their portfolio be
implemented by utilizing one or more unaffiliated money managers or investment platforms (herein the
“Independent Managers”). The Client will be required to enter into one or more separate agreements with the
Independent Manager[s] that provide for discretionary management by the Independent Managers of the
investment platform.
Parkview serves as the Client’s primary advisor and relationship manager and will oversee the account[s] to
ensure the Independent Manager[s] are managing consistent with the selected investment strategy[ies].
However, the Independent Manager[s] will assume discretionary authority for the day-to-day investment
management of those assets placed in their control. Parkview 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]. Parkview will continue to provide oversight of the Client’s account[s] and ongoing
monitoring of the activities of these unaffiliated parties.
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.
Prior to entering into an agreement with an Independent Manager, the Client will be provided with each
Independent Manager[s] Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate
disclosures) as well as a disclosure statement that defines the relationship between Parkview and the
Independent Manager[s]. Parkview does not receive any compensation from these Independent Managers or
Investment Platforms, other than Parkview’s investment advisory fee, as described in Item 5 – Fees and
Compensation.
Tax Loss Harvesting Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing- Depending on the nature of the relationship, Parkview
may recommend Clients utilize an automatic rebalancing service offered through Orion Portfolio Solutions LLC
(“Orion”). This service allows the Orion platform to automatically rebalance the Client’s portfolios at year end to
maximize their tax benefit.
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.
Financial Planning Services
Parkview will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting 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 circumstance.
Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific
financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting services
Page 6
may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, college planning, retirement planning,
and small business owner planning. Parkview Wealth will conduct a thorough assessment of the Client’s financial
situation to understand the Client’s financial goals, concerns, and dreams. The Advisor will gather and analyze
the Client’s existing investment portfolios and any other existing financial plans. The Advisor will identify any
gaps that may exist. 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. The
Advisor will conduct in-person or virtual meetings to gather initial due diligence and subsequent delivery of the
financial plan recommendations. Additional meetings are scheduled based on the Client needs.
Financial planning services may include the following:
Basic Financial Planning – The Advisor will work closely with the Client to assist with the following:
• Goals Assessment
• Volatility Tolerance Analysis
• Investment Audit
• Portfolio Stress Test
• Financial Modeling Software
• Net Worth Analysis
The Advisor estimates the development of the plan to take up to 6 hours to complete depending on the
complexity of the plan and Client’s financial situation.
College Planning –The Advisor will work closely with the Client to design a college plan that includes college
funding strategies and financial aid. This includes but not limited to:
• Calculate expected family contribution (“EFC”)
• Provide planning recommendations on how to reduce the Client’s EFC
• Provide affordability assessment for the Client’s preferred schools

retirement income planning, pension maximization, social security analysis, tax efficiency strategies, estate
planning, health care and Medicare planning. The Advisor estimates the initial development of the plan to take 6
to 12 hours depending on the complexity of the plan.
Small Business Owner Planning – The Advisor will work closely with the Client to assist with tax planning, health
insurance analysis, risk management, retirement planning, investment planning, and estate planning. The
Advisor estimates the initial development of the plan to take 8 to 14 hours depending on the complexity of the
plan.
Parkview may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
Page 7
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 (6) months of contract
date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a 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 investment 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.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Parkview provides 3(21) retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and
the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the
Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is
customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
• Investment Management
• Performance Reporting
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Parkview serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan
Sponsor is provided with a written description of Parkview’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered
and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Parkview 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 an Investment Strategy – Parkview, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Parkview will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk of each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Parkview will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
• Investment Management and Supervision – Parkview will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Parkview includes in addition to securities transaction fees, custodial costs, commission fees, ACAT fees, wire
fees, trade away fees and administrative fees (herein “Covered Costs”) together with its investment advisory
fees. Including these fees into a single asset-based fee is considered a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor
customizes its investment management services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the Parkview Wrap Fee
Program solely as a supplemental disclosure regarding the combination of fees. Depending on the level of
trading required for the Client’s account[s] in a particular year, the Client may pay more or less in total fees than if
the Client paid its own transaction fees. Please see Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure, which is always
included as a supplement to this Disclosure Brochure.
