organized in the State of Florida. The firm was formed in November 2023, and the

B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
SWM offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. SWM 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
SWM evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance
levels and time horizon. SWM 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.
SWM seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the
fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of SWM’s economic,
investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, SWM attempts
to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically
advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, SWM’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 SWM’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.

not limited to 401(k) plans). Pension consulting may include, but is not limited to:

Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status
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 and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. We also have a fiduciary
duty under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 with respect to all client 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. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations
(give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations
(give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in
your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
SWM will tailor a program for each individual client. This will include an interview
session to get to know the client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that
will be executed by SWM on behalf of the client. SWM 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
prevent SWM from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would
require SWM to deviate from its standard suite of services, SWM 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 and transaction costs. SWM does not participate in wrap fee
programs.
