ITEM 4 — ADVISORY BUSINESS
A.
On January 3, 2023, the Adviser’s parent company completed a business combination (the
“Business Combination”) with Tiedemann Wealth Management Holdings, LLC, the parent
company of Tiedemann Advisors, LLC (“Tiedemann Advisors”), a leading independent
wealth and investment advisor for high-net-worth families, trusts, foundations and
endowments; TIG Trinity Management, LLC and TIG Trinity GP, LLC, an alternative
investment management firm; and Cartesian Growth Corporation, a publicly traded special
purpose acquisition company. As a result of the Business Combination, the ultimate parent
company of the Adviser is the combined company AlTi Global, Inc., a publicly traded
company.
AWM is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC” or the “Commission”). AWM is a wholly owned subsidiary of AlTi
Global.
B.
AWM offers comprehensive investment advisory services, including investment strategy
and implementation, asset allocation, investment manager selection and reporting. AWM
provides such advisory services on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis.
AWM can execute trades or recommendations on behalf of a Client (as defined in Item 7
below) if a limited power of attorney (“LPOA”) has been granted by the Client to AWM.
AWM assists each Client in establishing investment objectives, return expectations and
risk tolerance (each, a “Client Profile”). Based on Client Profiles, AWM may offer one or
more of the following investment supervisory services:
Investment Company Securities
• Equity securities: including exchange listed, over-the counter and foreign securities
• Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”)
• Warrants
• Options contracts on securities and commodities
• Futures and Forward contracts
• Government Securities
• Corporate debt securities and commercial paper
• Certificates of deposit
• Municipal Securities
•
• Private Equity Funds, Hedge Funds, and other similar non exchange traded
collective investment funds
• Direct Investment Opportunities including Limited Partnerships, Private Equity
and Direct Debt
Investment Manager Selection, Monitoring and Due Diligence Services
AWM may recommend that a Client allocate a portion of their Portfolio (as defined in Item
8 below) in mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, private equity, real estate or other funds
4
(each, a “Managed Fund”), which are managed by a third-party manager (a “Fund
Manager”).
AWM identifies potential Fund Managers for Client Portfolios through networks
established by employees of AWM and its affiliates as well as through periodicals,
directories and databases containing information about investment managers. After a
potential Fund Manager is identified, AWM will perform investment due diligence on the
Fund Manager and its key personnel through a variety of methods, which may include but
is not limited to, a review of the manager’s offering documents, SEC or other regulatory
filings (if applicable), and interviews with the manager’s personnel (both principals and
staff).
AWM conducts on-going reviews and analyses of each Fund Manager’s investment
performance, including adherence to its investment strategy, guidelines or restrictions.
Performance Measurement and Reporting
On a monthly basis, AWM provides Clients with a performance report (a “Performance
Report”), detailing the Clients’ Portfolio performance and compares such performance to
relevant benchmarks or indices. If requested by a Client, AWM can include in the
Performance Report information on assets that are not in their Portfolio. The inclusion of
such information may result in an additional fee to the Client.
AWM uses third-party software for record keeping, performance calculation and reporting.
Performance Reports are prepared by AWM using data provided by custodians, investment
managers and independent pricing services.
Non-advisory Services
AWM may offer non-advisory services to its Clients, including coordination of legal-
related and strategic business planning, wealth transfer planning, estate planning, research
on trustee placement and multi-generational education planning, administrative and
concierge services among others.
Expenses may be incurred on behalf of the client, that will be billed to the client on their
quarterly invoice in arrears, to include: Incorporation Fees, Annual corporate registration
and maintenance fees, Certificate of Good Standing or Incumbency Fee, or certification
fees for register of Directors. Upon request the Adviser may also incur expenses on behalf
of the client for Professional Services (accounting, Legal, etc.), Hotel & Transportation
costs, Property Taxes & Insurance, HOA dues, and other similar services as a courtesy to
be billed quarterly in arrears. The Adviser does not charge any additional fees for these
services as these services are not connected to our advisory services.
AWM does not offer a wrap fee program.
C.
D.
As of December 31, 2024, AWM managed $107,726,792 in assets on a discretionary basis
and $562,691,424 in assets on a non-discretionary basis. Total assets under management
as of this date were $670,418,217.
5
ITEM 5 — FEES AND COMPENSATION
A.
AWM charges Clients a management fee (a “Management Fee”) for advisory services
provided, including the review and reporting services described herein. The Management
Fee is established at the time the investment advisory agreement is signed and is defined
in the investment advisory agreement. The Management Fee is expressed as a percentage
of the value of the assets under management, up to 1.00% per annum. AWM assesses
management fees calculated on the Average Capital Base (as defined below). The
Management Fee may also be expressed as a fixed fee defined as a specific USD amount
defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement with each Client.
The Management Fee is negotiable and depends on the types of assets included in a Client’s
Portfolio, the complexity and size of the Portfolio, the services to be provided and other
factors. Accordingly, the Management Fee for any given Client may be higher or lower
than for any other Client. Under certain circumstances, the Management Fee may be
structured as percent of assets under management plus a performance fee, subject to
compliance with Investment Advisers Act Rule 205-3 for qualified Clients. In certain
instances, a typical performance fee will be based on the appreciation in a Client’s account
in excess over an agreed hurdle rate.
For these purposes, the Average Capital Base for the relevant period shall be equal to the
Net Asset Value of the account using the Average Daily Balance during the period. The
Net Asset Value means the total asset of the relevant account, including all cash, cash
equivalents and other securities (all valued at fair market value) determined in accordance
with US generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied under the accrual
method of accounting.
B.
AWM assesses its management fees on a quarterly basis, in arrears. The amount of the fee
is computed by applying the applicable percentage to the average daily balance of the
account accrued monthly for the preceding quarter. Performance fees, if any, are billed and
payable yearly in arrears.
C.
The Management Fee represents the fee for the services described above, payable to AWM.
It does not include, among other things, managed fund or mutual fund fees that may be
payable under the terms of the applicable fund, fees included or embedded in structured
products, brokerage fees, custodial fees or the cost of insurance or other third-party fees.
AWM bills in arrears and does not require any payments in advance.
D.
E.
AWM does not normally seek any fees or commissions from third parties with respect to
Client transactions. In the limited circumstances where AWM receives any such amounts
with respect to a Client or Client transaction, AWM transfers such compensation to the
Client’s account. However, AWM and its affiliates may receive fees and compensation
from certain products and services offered by its affiliates. See 10 (C) and (D) below.
6
ITEM 6 — PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
As discussed in Item 5 above, for some Clients a performance-based fee may also be included in
addition to the Management Fee. The amount of the performance fee may vary, depending on the
Management Fee and the size of the account.
Typically, the performance fee will be calculated as a percent of average daily balance accrued
monthly, and payable once per year in the event that the Client’s account experiences an
appreciation during the year above a pre-established threshold.
ITEM 7 — TYPES OF CLIENTS
AWM generally provides investment advisory services to high net worth individuals, trusts,
estates, foundations, corporations or other business entities (each a “Client”) with a net worth of
$20 million or higher and at least $10 million of investable assets. AWM in its sole discretion may
accept Clients or accounts with less assets.
ITEM 8 — METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF
LOSS
AWM gathers and analyzes Client information, such as investment objectives, experience,
financial circumstances, and risk tolerances. AWM evaluates a Client’s attitude toward risk and
works to create a portfolio that addresses the Client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance
(“Portfolio”).
A.
Based on a Client’s risk assessment and preferences, assets are allocated across traditional
asset classes and assets types, and individual investments. In selecting the individual
investments, AWM’s methods of analysis include:
1.
Fundamental analysis: involves the analysis of national accounts and financial
statements, the general financial health of economies or companies.
2.
Qualitative and Quantitative Manager selection process: involves a four tiered
process to assess the viability of inclusion of a Fund Manager (Long Only or Hedge
fund) to a recommended list for eventual inclusion in Client Portfolios depending
on each Client Profile.
3.
Technical analysis: involves the analysis of past market data; primarily price and
volume.
4.
Cyclical analysis: involves the analysis of business cycles to find favorable
conditions for buying and/or selling a security and or asset class.
5.
Charting analysis: involves the use of patterns in performance charts. AWM uses
this technique to search for patterns used to help predict favorable conditions for
buying and/or selling a security.
7
B.
The following is a summary of material risks for significant investment strategies and
products, but is not complete explanation of the risks involved investment strategies:
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities and other investment products involves risk of loss that Clients
should be prepared to bear. All investments in securities and other financial investments
involves substantial risk of volatility arising from numerous factors that are beyond the
control of the Adviser and investment managers utilized by the Adviser, including market
conditions, changing domestic or international economic or political conditions, changes
in tax laws and government regulation and other factors. It is possible that a Client may
lose a substantial proportion or all of its assets in connection with investment
recommendations made. AWM’s intention is to implement strategies that are designed to
minimize potential losses to its Clients. However, there can be no assurance that such
strategies will be successful.
Multiple Manager Risks
The Adviser may use a “manager-of-managers” approach in allocating Client assets. The
Adviser may invest Client assets with investment managers who make their trading
decisions independently. It is possible that one or more investment managers may take
investment positions that are opposite of positions taken by other investment managers.
Some investment managers may have overlapping strategies or portfolios and thus could
accumulate large positions in the same or related instruments at the same time. The Adviser
may not have access to information regarding the underlying investments made by the
investment managers or investment funds and thus may not be able to mitigate the
associated risks of concentration or exposure to specific markets or strategies. Because
each investment manager will trade independently of the others, the trading losses of some
investment managers could offset trading profits achieved by other investment managers.
In addition, investment managers may compete with each other for similar positions at the
same time.
Activities of Unaffiliated Investment Managers and Investment Funds
The Adviser will have no control over the day-to-day operations of any unaffiliated
investment fund or investment manager. As a result, there can be no assurance that every
investment fund or investment manager will invest on the basis expected by the Adviser.
Furthermore, because the Adviser will have no control over any investment fund’s or
investment manager’s day-to- day operations, Clients may experience losses due to the
fraud, poor risk management, or recklessness of the investment funds or the investment
managers.
Allocation to Affiliated Funds or Affiliated Advisors
The allocation of Client assets to the Funds, affiliated advisers, or to products managed by
affiliated advisers or other related persons creates certain conflicts of interest. For example,
there are financial incentives or other benefits that may cause the Adviser to favor its own
private funds or affiliated advisers over non-affiliated managers. The Adviser manages
this conflict by waiving fees and conducting investment due diligence and analysis in a
manner consistent with policies and procedures reasonably designed for the Adviser to be
8
able to determine that allocating or recommending affiliated funds or affiliated advisers is
consistent with the best interests of the particular Client.
Investment objective
There is no guarantee that in any time period, particularly in the short term, a Client’s
Portfolio will achieve appreciation in terms of capital growth or that a Client’s investment
objective will be met.
Active Trading and Concentrated Portfolios
Investments in an active strategy can result in higher transaction costs. In addition, the
timing of implementation of investment decisions could adversely affect the Client’s
Portfolio.
Leverage
AWM may engage in or recommend investment strategies that constitute leverage or
leverage a Client’s Portfolio by borrowing, should this be considered necessary or
desirable. Such strategies may include the borrowing and short selling of securities, bonds,
foreign exchange and the acquisition and disposal of certain types of derivative securities
and instruments, such as swaps, futures and options. While leveraging creates an
opportunity for greater total returns it also exposes a Client to a greater risk of loss arising
from adverse price changes. For a further explanation of the risks involved in entering into
certain leveraged transactions see the paragraph below headed “Derivatives.”
Portfolio investments may be volatile
The value of the securities in which AWM, on behalf of its Clients, will invest, or that
AWM may recommend that a Client invest, may be volatile. There can be no assurance
that Portfolio investments will be successful. Furthermore, such investments are subject to
the risk that inflation, economic recession, changes in the general level of interest rates or
other market conditions over which AWM will have no control may adversely affect the
operating results of the Client’s Portfolios.
Hedging transactions may increase risks of capital losses
AWM may utilize, or recommend that a Client utilize, a variety of financial instruments,
such as options, for risk management purposes. While AWM may enter, or recommend
that a Client enter, into hedging transactions to seek to reduce risk, such transactions may
result in a worse overall performance for a Client’s Portfolio (or a portfolio managed by a
Client than if it had not engaged in any such hedging transactions). Moreover, Portfolios
are always exposed to certain risks that cannot be hedged, such as credit risk, relating both
to particular securities and counterparties.
Fixed Income
Portfolios that invest in fixed income securities are subject to several general risks,
including interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk, which could reduce the yield that a
Client receives from his or her Portfolio. These risks may occur from fluctuations in interest
rates, a change to an issuer’s individual situation or industry, or events in the financial
markets.
9
Liquidity of Investment Portfolio
The market for some securities in which AWM, on behalf of its Clients, may invest, or
may recommend to Clients, may be illiquid. Liquidity relates to the ability of AWM, on
behalf of its Clients, or the Clients that AWM recommends such securities to, to sell an
investment in a timely manner. The market for illiquid securities tends to be more volatile
than the market for more liquid securities. AWM’s investment in illiquid securities and
loans may restrict the ability of AWM, on behalf of the Client, or the Clients themselves,
to dispose of investments at a price and time that it wishes to do so. The risk of illiquidity
also arises in the case of over-the-counter transactions (which involve securities which are
not traded on an exchange). There is no regulated market in such contracts and the bid and
offer prices will be established solely by dealers in these contracts. When no dealer pricing
can be obtained, prices are determined by using cost basis accounting.
Foreign currency markets
AWM’s investment strategy may cause a Client to be exposed to fluctuations in currency
exchange rates where it invests directly or indirectly in securities denominated in
currencies other than U.S. dollars. AWM, on behalf of the Client, may, in part, seek to
offset the risks associated with such exposure.
Non-regulated investments
AWM may invest, or recommend that a Client invest, in securities that are not subject to
regulation. Accordingly, only a relatively small amount of publicly available information
about the securities may be available to AWM or Clients.
Foreign and withholding taxes
Certain foreign investments may be subject to taxes, including withholding taxes, or to
changes in the rates or methods of taxation. Although all attempts will be to do so, AWM
may not adequately predict the impacts of such taxes when deciding on and structuring
investments or investment recommendations.
Emerging markets
Investment in the securities of issuers based in emerging markets involves a greater degree
of risk than an investment in securities of issuers based in more developed countries.
Among other things, emerging market securities investments may carry the risks of less
publicly available information, more volatile markets, less strict securities market
regulation, less favorable tax provisions, and a greater likelihood of severe inflation,
unstable or not freely convertible currency, war, corruption and expropriation of personal
property than investments in securities of issuers based in more developed countries. In
addition, investment opportunities in certain emerging markets may be restricted by legal
limits on foreign investment in local securities.
Emerging markets generally are not as efficient as those in more developed countries. In
some cases, a market for the security may not exist locally, and transactions will need to
be made on a neighboring exchange. Volume and liquidity levels in emerging markets tend
to be lower than in more developed countries. When seeking to sell emerging market
securities, little or no market may exist for the securities. In addition, issuers based in
emerging markets are not generally subject to uniform accounting and financial reporting
10
standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to issuers based in
more developed countries, thereby potentially increasing the risk of fraud or other
deceptive practices. Furthermore, the quality and reliability of official data published by
the government or securities exchanges in emerging markets may not accurately reflect the
actual circumstances being reported.
Securities traded in certain emerging markets may be subject to additional risks as a
consequence of, amongst other things, the inexperience of financial intermediaries, a lack
of modern technology, the possibility of temporary or permanent termination of trading
and social, political and economic instability generally. As a result, certain risks associated
with emerging markets securities may be heightened. In addition, certain countries may
restrict or prohibit investment opportunities in issuers and/or industries deemed important
to national interests, which may affect the market price, liquidity and rights of securities in
which the Adviser may invest on behalf of its Clients.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of
time. Option contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract
to significant exposure to an underlying security or index. This leverage can compound
gains or loss.
Equity Securities
Common stocks and other equity securities generally increase or decrease in value based
on the earnings of a company and on general industry and market conditions. The value of
a company’s share price may decline as a result of poor decisions made by management,
lower demand for the company’s services or products or if the company’s revenues fall
short of expectations. There are also risks associated with the stock market overall; in
particular, the stock market may experience periods of turbulence and instability.
Inverse and Leveraged ETFs
Inverse or leveraged ETFs are complex investment products that carry risks that are
generally not suited for conservative investing. Inverse ETFs are designed to track the
inverse of its benchmark through the use of derivatives and leveraged instruments over the
course of a single day. Leveraged ETFs employ financial derivatives to attempt to achieve
a multiple (i.e. 2 or 3 times) of the return (or inverse return) of a stated index over the
course of a single day.
Derivatives
A Client’s investments in derivatives involve risks associated with the securities or other
assets underlying the derivatives as well as risks different or greater than the risks affecting
the underlying assets. Derivatives is used here to describe different types of investments,
including over the counter derivatives, forwards on spot contracts, and swaps which are
covered in more detail below. Risk unassociated with the underlying assets include the
inability or unwillingness of the other party to a derivative to perform its obligations to an
account, a Client’s inability or delay in selling or closing positions in derivatives, and
difficulties in valuing derivatives.
11
Swaps
The use of securities, interest rate, credit, currency, equity, commodity, index, and total
return swaps, swaptions, and interest rate caps, floors, and collars is a highly specialized
activity that involves investment techniques and risks which differ from those associated
with ordinary securities transactions. Swaps are individually negotiated transactions where
each party agrees to make a one-time payment or periodic payments to the other party.
Typically, the parties to a swap are not required to make “principal” payments, and instead
agree to pay sums based upon rates or amounts which are applied to an agreed “notional”
amount. Most swap agreements are currently principal-to-principal transactions, which
means that performance is the responsibility of the individual counterparty (rather than
being the responsibility of an organized exchange or clearinghouse). As such, the Client is
exposed to the risk of counterparty default. New regulations (which have been
implemented or are due to be implemented) have introduced some rules intended to reduce
the risk of counterparty default. These regulations require that a substantial portion of over-
the-counter swaps are executed in regulated markets, submitted for clearing through
regulated clearinghouses, subject to mandated margin requirements, and/or subject to
mandatory reporting requirements.
Private Funds
Private investment companies are not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and are not necessarily registered with any other regulatory authority.
Accordingly, they are not subject to certain regulatory restrictions and oversight to which
other issuers are subject. There may be little public information available about their
investments and performance. Moreover, as sales of shares of private investment
companies are generally restricted to certain qualified purchasers, it could be difficult for
a Client to sell its shares of a private investment company at an advantageous price and
time. Since shares of private investment companies are not publicly traded, from time to
time it may be difficult to establish a fair value for the Client’s investment in these
companies.
Private Placement
Privately issued securities are restricted securities that are not publicly traded. Accordingly,
the market liquidity for specific privately issued securities may vary. Delay or difficulty in
selling such securities may result in a loss to the Client.
rates,
industry conditions, competition,
Economic Conditions
Changes in economic conditions, including, for example, interest rates, inflation rates,
currency and exchange
technological
developments, trade relationships, political and diplomatic events and trends, tax laws and
innumerable other factors, can affect substantially and adversely the investment
performance of a Client’s account. None of these conditions is or will be within the control
of the Adviser, and no assurances can be given that the Adviser will anticipate these
developments.
C.
AWM reaches Client’s asset allocation goals through long turn investment, while
selectively using short term trading and options strategies (including writing covered
options, uncovered options, or spreading strategies) for tactical reallocations. AWM
12
utilizes investment strategies that are designed to capture return and risk in line with each
Client Profile.
D.
AWM does not primarily recommend any particular type of security. AWM makes
recommendations based on the Client Profile.
ITEM 9 — DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of AWM or the integrity of AWM’s
management. AWM has no information applicable to this item.
ITEM 10 — OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
In providing advisory services, AWM from time to time recommends to Clients products or
services offered or managed by one or more of its affiliates. Such affiliates will receive
remuneration, which will be separate and in addition to any Management Fees received by AWM.
AWM supervised persons will receive material compensation according to existing agreements as
well as discretionary bonuses related to performance of their duties. Consistent with its internal
policies and procedures, AWM will advise Clients of any such compensation structure at the time
the recommendation is made.
Other Material Relationships
AWM has a relationship with an affiliated brokerage house in London, England that is
material to its advisory business and its Clients. Subject to its duty to obtain best execution
for its Clients, AWM may use brokerage services from its affiliated brokerage house for
the investments of the private investment companies and other separate accounts it
manages. Transactions directed by AWM to its affiliated brokerage house are generally
executed on an agency basis but may be executed on a riskless principal basis following
notice to, and consent from, the Clients. Under certain circumstances, the affiliated
brokerage house’s commission rates are negotiable although the affiliations between AWM
and the brokerage house may limit the ability of these rates to be negotiated on an arms’
length basis. In relation to some securities and services provided by contract to AWM
and/or its Clients, the stakeholders mentioned above as well as affiliates listed below will
receive material compensations.
AWM also serves as adviser to an affiliated adviser firm in Switzerland (AlTi Wealth
Management (Switzerland) SA), to an affiliated adviser firm in Portugal (AlTi Wealth
Management (Portugal) - Empresa De Investimento, S.A.) and to an affiliated adviser firm
in Hong Kong (AlTi Wealth Management (Hong Kong) Limited) with respect to advisory
and administrative services.
AWM is under common ownership with various entities including companies that engage
in financial services activities around the world, including the entities described above and
set out below. The Adviser has adopted relevant policies and procedures that are designed
to mitigate any material conflicts that may arise with its Clients as a result from the below
affiliations.

ITEM 11 — CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
A.
AWM has adopted a code of ethics (“Code of Ethics”) pursuant to Investment Advisers
Act Rule 204A-1. The Code of Ethics applies to all employees and is designed to address
conflicts of interest arising in relation to the purchase or sale of securities recommended to
Clients for investment in Portfolios which may also be bought or sold by employees. It is
also designed to detect and prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic information.
The Code of Ethics requires, among other things, employees to provide an annual report of
securities holdings and quarterly reports of securities transactions, to pre-clear transactions
in private investment funds as well as certain other transactions, and to report all outside
business interests. A copy of AWM’ s Code of Ethics is available upon request for Clients
and prospective Clients by contacting AWM’ s Compliance Department at phone number
(214) 855-2202 or via email by contacting Whitney Fogle Lewis, Chief Legal Officer, US
and Chief Compliance Officer, at: whitney.lewis@AlTi-Global.com.
AWM has adopted the following principles governing personal investment activities by
Supervised Persons:
15
• The interests of Client accounts must be placed first;
• All personal securities transactions will be conducted in such manner as to avoid
any actual or potential conflict of interest; and
• Supervised Persons must not take inappropriate advantage of their positions.
No Supervised Person shall recommend any securities transactions to a Client without
having disclosed his or her interest, if any, in such securities of the issuer, including without
limitation:
• any direct or indirect beneficial ownership of any securities of such issuer;
• any contemplated transaction by such person in such securities;

and such person or any party in which such person has a significant interest.
ITEM 12 — BROKERAGE PRACTICES
AWM does not participate in soft dollars or directed brokerage transactions.
In order for AWM to manage a Portfolio, the Client provides AWM with the name of each
institution acting as custodian (a “Custodian”) for assets in the Portfolio, the account number(s)
and account contact information, access to account statements and confirmations, and may
authorize AWM to give instructions to such Custodian as needed.
The Client will receive a monthly brokerage statement from the applicable Custodian reflecting
the holdings and activity for that month in the Client’s account.
As a matter of policy, AWM will usually execute transactions for assets held at a particular
Custodian through that Custodian. Based on AWM’s policy of executing Portfolio transactions
through the relevant Custodian(s), AWM considers each Client’s designation of a Custodian to be
also a direction from the Client to execute transactions with respect to that custodial account
through that Custodian. A Client may direct transactions to another broker-dealer with which it
has a relationship and maintains an account.
In connection, with any directed brokerage, Clients will bear the cost of execution, typically a
commission agreed upon by the Custodian or the broker-dealer and the Client in advance of the
transaction. Clients with directed brokerage arrangements are responsible for facilitating the
settlement of Client directed transactions. This includes any transactions initiated by Clients
directly with a Custodian. AWM bears no responsibility for determining whether Clients with
directed brokerage arrangements receive volume discounts or best execution. However, if AWM
does exercise its authority to select a broker-dealer to execute a transaction, it will do so consistent
with its obligation to seek best execution. AWM does not receive referrals from Client directed
broker-dealers.
AWM does not have any formal or informal arrangements or commitments to utilize research,
research-related products and other services obtained from broker-dealers, or third parties, on a
soft dollar commission basis.

AWM has a fiduciary duty to seek best execution for Client transactions, i.e., not necessarily
seeking to obtain the lowest commission but the best overall qualitative execution in the particular
circumstances. Best execution has been defined by the SEC as the “execution of securities
transactions for Clients in such a manner that the Clients’ total cost or proceeds in each transaction
is the most favorable under the circumstances.” In the event AWM exercises its authority to select
a broker-dealer to execute a transaction, it will do so consistent with its obligation to seek best
execution.
ITEM 13 — REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
A.
Portfolio Managers monitor Client Portfolios on an ongoing basis. At least one Portfolio
Manager and one associate are assigned to each Client. Client Performance Reports are
issued on a monthly basis.
B.
At least quarterly, Portfolio Managers evaluate the performance of Client Portfolios on an
absolute, relative and risk-adjusted basis and for compliance with the Client Profile
established for the Portfolio. At least annually, the Portfolio Managers will review each
Client Profile to confirm that it remains consistent with that Client’s stated goals and
objectives.
AWM encourages ongoing communication between its Clients, Relationship Managers
and Portfolio Managers with respect to Client Portfolios.
ITEM 14 — CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
A.
AWM may engage third party advisers to manage its Clients’ accounts as part of its
manager selection process. AWM does not have any formal or informal arrangements or
commitments to utilize a specific manager or managers and AWM does not receive
compensation for selecting a specific manager.
AWM does not compensate any persons or third parties for client referral.
B.
ITEM 15 — CUSTODY
AWM does not permit employees to accept, hold, directly or indirectly, Client funds or securities,
or have any authority to obtain possession of them. AWM will not intentionally take custody of
Client cash or securities.
• Any funds or securities received inadvertently from a Client will be returned to the Client
within three business days of receipt.
• Any funds or securities received inadvertently from a third party on behalf of a Client will
be returned to the Client or the Client’s qualified Custodian within five business days of
receipt.

ITEM 16 — INVESTMENT DISCRETION
On certain accounts, a Client may grant a limited power of attorney (“LPOA”) to trade in a
particular account to either AWM or to individual employees of AWM. Pursuant to an LPOA,
AWM is responsible for placing orders for Clients, and unless otherwise directed, has time and
price discretion over orders and will place the order directly with the Client’s Custodian.
LPOAs are limited to purchasing and selling securities, and do not authorize AWM to transfer
funds or securities out of any Client account.
ITEM 17 — VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
AWM does not vote proxies or corporate actions with respect to securities in Client Portfolios.
Such responsibility remains with the Client.
AWM will not act for the Client in any legal proceeding, including class actions or bankruptcies,
involving a security in any Portfolio or the issuer of any such security, but will forward to the
Client materials AWM may receive related to any legal proceedings. AWM will not be liable for
any failure to forward these materials to the Client.
ITEM 18 — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures. AWM has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet
contractual and fiduciary commitments to Clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding.
