Item 4 – Advisory Services
General
Earthview Advisors is a limited liability company organized in the State of Florida and registered to
conduct business as Registered Investment Adviser. Earthview Advisors is wholly owned by Anabella
Viyella (CRD No. 7733706), Ana Gabriela Viyella (CRD No. 6906000), Daniel Jose Viyella (CRD No.
6812956) and Enrique Viyella (CRD No. 6621458), each with 25% ownership of the Adviser.
Description of Advisory Services
Earthview Advisors provides portfolio management, financial advice and financial planning services to
individuals, institutions and corporations. Earthview Advisors’s investment advisory services are
provided through various types of discretionary and non-discretionary accounts (the “Accounts”) in
accordance with each client’s investment objectives and pursuant to the terms outlined in Earthview
Advisors’s investment advisory agreement. The Adviser’s discretionary and non-discretionary investment
management services include the design and implementation of various personalized investment strategies
for managed Accounts. Investment activities focus on investments in various kinds of assets and securities
in a variety of markets that are intended to fit within the client’s objectives, strategies and risk profile as
described by each client. The Adviser also provides personalized confidential financial planning services.
Advice is provided through consultation with the client and may include: determination and identification
of financial objectives, cash flow management, insurance review, investment management, education
funding, retirement planning, and educational services. The overall advisory services offered by Earthview
Advisors fall within the following categories:
P a g e | 3
➢ Customized Discretionary Portfolios
Adviser offers discretionary separately managed Accounts that are customized to each client. Managed
Accounts may focus on investments in specified and limited kinds of assets and securities, in limited
markets, or they may be broad-based across many asset classes and markets. Such accounts are intended
to fit within the investor’s objectives, strategies and risk profile as described by each client. The strategies
utilized for these customized accounts may be similar to or may vary widely from the core strategies
typically utilized by the Adviser, as further described in Item No. 8 or customized for each client based
upon varying factors. Clients may place targets on these accounts and may restrict the types of investments
made in such accounts.
Earthview Advisors tailors investment advisory services to the individual needs of the client. The goals
and objectives for each client are documented via new account documentation. Client profiles are created
that reflect the stated goals and objective. Earthview Advisors’s clients are allowed to impose restrictions
on the investments in their account. All limitations and restrictions placed on accounts must be presented
to Earthview Advisors in writing.
➢ Other Non-Discretionary Advisory Services
Adviser provides non-discretionary advisory services to all types of clients in accordance with a non-
discretionary advisory agreement between Adviser and the client. Each agreement typically defines the
services to be provided and if a fee is charged, the fees will also be agreed to in the advisory agreement.
Adviser also provides recommendations and research regarding the investment of securities and cash in a
client’s account. These services are individually tailored to each client’s needs and such advice may be
provided to accounts with assets maintained at various third parties. When a client’s account is managed
on a non-discretinoary basis, the client will have the decision-making power over all investments and/or
recommendations.
➢ Family Office Services
Adviser provides integrated wealth management services to high-net-worth individuals and their families,
and/or corporations. These services are designed to assist our clients in identifying and realizing their
personal and financial objectives in coordination with their other professional advisors. Our offerings can
include cash management services, such as developing and tracking budgets, providing bill-paying
services and expense summaries, monitoring distributions and administering clients’ processes. Our
service offerings can also include planning and investment management (both discretionary and non-
discretionary), plus comprehensive wealth management and family office services. Specific family office
services provided to clients will be outlined in the investment advisory agreement.
➢ Other Services
Adviser may provide additional services for clients from time to time as agreed between the client and the Adviser.
The Adviser from time-to-time engage the services of subadvisers to assist or manage client portfolios and related
funds. Such activities include but are not limited to the selection and monitoring of client portfolios, as well as asset
allocation and continued analysis related to the Adviser’s portfolio management services. Sub-advisers services are
contracted by the Adviser at no additional cost to the client.
P a g e | 4
Additional General Information
Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, etc.) may be recommended to clients or
engaged directly by the client on an as-needed basis. Conflicts of interest related to recommendations of
other professionals will be disclosed to the client in the event they should occur.
Earthview Advisors investment advisory agreements may not be assigned without client consent.
Earthview Advisors does not currently participate in any Wrap Fee Programs, and as it is a newly formed
adviser, does not currently have any assets under management (“AUM”).
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Earthview Advisors had regulatory assets under management (“RAUM”) of
$91,683,106 managed on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Basic fee schedule:
The specific manner in which fees are charged by Adviser is established in each client’s written agreement
with Adviser. Generally and pursuant to contract, fees for the management of Accounts will be based upon
a percentage of the total assets in the account (including margined assets). Adviser typically receives an
annual management fee, between 0.2% and 2% of the net asset value of the Account. The Adviser can
also enter into flat fee arrangements from time to time, including arrangements for administrative services
provided to clients or client accounts. All fees are negotiable.
Calculation and Deduction of Advisory Fees
With respect to accounts that Adviser manages on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, including
family office services, clients are generally required to authorize Adviser to directly debit management
fees from client accounts on a quarterly basis in arrears.
A client may pay more or less fees than similar clients depending on the particular circumstances of the
client, size, additional or differing levels of servicing or as otherwise agreed with specific clients. Clients
that negotiate fees can end up paying a higher fee than that set forth above as a result of fluctuations in the
client’s assets under management and account performance.
Clients may terminate their contracts without penalty, for full refund, within 5 business days of signing
the advisory contract. Advisory fees are withdrawn directly from the client’s accounts with client written
authorization.
Additional Fee Information
Clients may authorize the Adviser to directly debit management fees from client accounts on a quarterly
basis. In such instances, management fees are prorated for each capital contribution and withdrawal made
P a g e | 5
during the applicable calendar quarter. Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be
charged a prorated fee.
Adviser’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses which shall be incurred directly by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by
custodians, brokers, and other third parties such as fees charged by fund managers, custodial fees, deferred
sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic funds fees, and other fees
and taxes on brokerage account and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also
charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. It is the Adviser’s policy
not to accept “kick-backs” or retrocession fees from any third non-affiliated party providing services to
the Adviser’s clients.
Termination of the Agreement
Although an agreement between Earthview Advisors and its clients is ongoing and constant adjustments
are required, the length of service to the client is at the client’s discretion. The client or the investment
manager may terminate an agreement by written notice to the other party with a (30) thirty – day advance
notice or as agreed upon otherwise between the client and the Adviser.
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and side-by-side management
Currently, Earthview Advisors does not engage in any type of performance-fee based sharing
arrangement. In the event this were to change, the Adviser will structure performance fee arrangements
subject to Section 205(a)(1) of the Adviser’s Act in accordance with the available exemptions thereunder,
including the exemption set forth in Rule 205-3. The Advisor will also promptly disclose this arrangement
with the client, and such arrangement will also be memorialized in the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Item 7 - Types of Clients
Earthview Advisors provides asset and/or portfolio management services to high net worth individuals,
corporations and institutions or other entities. The minimum dollar value for establishing an Account is
generally $100,000. Initial investments of a lesser amount may be accepted at Adviser’s discretion.
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
General Investment Strategies and Methods of Analysis
Adviser can establish arrangements with third party service providers through which Adviser can receive
general macroeconomic analyses of economies, currencies, markets and market sectors. Such third parties
also provide research reports on specific securities, sample asset allocations and administrative services.
Adviser uses such information and services as a tool and Adviser also performs its own research and due
diligence on advisers and investment opportunities. Adviser makes investment allocation decisions based
on each client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance, among other factors. Adviser identifies,
P a g e | 6
structures, monitors, invests and liquidates investments in discretionary accounts. The design and day-to-
day management of client portfolios is determined by Adviser through the assigned portfolio manager.
Such third party service providers do not have access to or knowledge of information concerning the
specific investment decisions and recommendations made to Adviser’s clients.
Through Adviser’s strategy, Adviser seeks asset preservation and capital appreciation of clients’ portfolios
by customizing asset allocations and selecting investment vehicles that it believes will align clients’ risk /
return expectations with long term and short term investment needs and goals. The asset class allocations
forecasts and expectations are analyzed and invested in various financial instruments, typically include
equity, fixed income, options and alternative investments. Adviser will select and monitor the investment
vehicles for each asset class in the portfolios based on their history and prospective risk and return
characteristics, and determine suitability for each client’s needs, as well as, estimated fees and expense.
Material Risks for Significant Investment Strategies
While it is the intention of Adviser to implement strategies which are designed to minimize potential
losses suffered by its client, there can be no assurance that such strategies will be successful. It is possible
that a client may lose a substantial proportion or all of its assets in connection with investment decisions
made by Adviser. The following is a discussion of typical risks for Adviser’s clients, but it does not purport
to be a complete explanation of the risks involved with Adviser’s investment strategies.
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 by Adviser.
The value of the securities in which Adviser invests on behalf of its clients may be volatile. Price
movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries that may
influence certain strategies or the securities market as a whole. Furthermore, a client will be subject to
the risk that inflation, economic recession, changes in the general level of interest rates or other market
conditions over which Adviser will have no control may adversely affect investment results. Adviser
notes that while Adviser’s management of accounts may not involve direct leveraging, or other risk factors
discussed below, the underlying funds and other investments that comprise client accounts may engage in
practices that can materially impact the performance of such fund or investment, which in turn may
materially impact the value of Adviser’s clients’ portfolios.
Hedging transactions may increase risks of capital losses
Adviser utilizes hedging strategies primarily to protect and preserve capital as well as yield enhancement.
Investment products in which Adviser invests clients’ accounts may utilize a variety of financial
instruments, such as options, for risk management purposes. While hedging transactions may seek to
reduce risk, such transactions may result in a worse overall performance. Certain risks cannot be hedged,
such as credit risk, relating both to particular securities and counterparties. Adviser will not always invest
in funds or other investment vehicles that utilize hedging strategies.
Leverage
Adviser may utilize and employ leverage under its current strategies. Such strategies may include the
borrowing and short selling of securities, bonds, foreign exchange and the acquisition and disposal of
P a g e | 7
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. Where leverage is indirect (e.g., used by a fund manager for a fund in which
Adviser’s client is invested) a sharp decrease in the value of the investment can have a significant impact
on a client’s portfolio.
Liquidity of investment portfolio
The market for some securities in which Adviser invests indirectly on behalf of its clients may be relatively
illiquid. Liquidity relates to the ability to sell an investment in a timely manner. The market for relatively
illiquid securities tends to be more volatile than the market for more liquid securities. Investments in
relatively illiquid securities may restrict the ability of a fund or portfolio manager 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. There is no regulated market in such contracts and the bid and offer prices will be established
solely by dealers in these contracts. Client accounts that are invested in funds or other instruments that
contain illiquid investments may be subject to these risks.
Foreign currency markets
Adviser’s investment strategies 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. Adviser does not engage in direct foreign currency trading. However, the underlying funds and
other investment vehicles may engage in direct foreign currency trading. The markets in which foreign
exchange transactions are effected are highly volatile, highly specialized and highly technical. Significant
changes, including changes in liquidity and prices, can occur in such markets within very short periods of
time, often within minutes. Foreign exchange trading risks include, but are not limited to, exchange rate
risk, interest rate risk and potential interference by foreign governments through regulation of local
exchange markets, foreign investment, or particular transactions in foreign currency.
Derivatives
Adviser’s investment strategy may cause a client to be exposed to derivatives including instruments and
contracts the value of which is linked to one or more underlying securities, financial benchmarks or
indices. Derivatives allow an investor to hedge or speculate upon the price movements of a particular
security, financial benchmark, index, currency or interest rate at a fraction of the cost of investing in the
underlying asset. The value of a derivative depends largely upon price movements in the underlying asset.
Therefore, many of the risks applicable to trading the underlying asset are also applicable to derivatives
trading. However, there are a number of other risks associated with derivatives trading. For example,
because many derivatives provide significantly more market exposure than the money paid or deposited
when the transaction is entered into, a relatively small adverse market movement can result not only in
the loss of the entire investment, but may also expose a client to the possibility of a loss exceeding the
original amount invested.
P a g e | 8
Settlement risks
Adviser’s investment strategies may expose a client to the credit risk of parties with whom Adviser, on
behalf of the client or the underlying funds, trades and to the risk of settlement default. Market practices
in the emerging markets in relation to the settlement of securities transactions and custody of assets will
provide increased risk. Although the emerging markets have grown rapidly over the last few years, the
clearing, settlement and registration systems available to effect trades on such markets are significantly
less developed than those in more mature world markets which can result in delays and other material
difficulties in settling trades and in registering transfers of securities. Problems of settlement in these
markets may affect the net asset value and liquidity of a client’s portfolio or investments in such portfolios.
Emerging Markets
Adviser’s investment strategies include direct and indirect investments in securities in emerging markets
and such investments involve special considerations and risks. These include a possibility of
nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, foreign exchange control, political changes,
government regulation, social instability or diplomatic developments which could affect adversely the
economies of such countries or the value of a client’s investments, and the risks of investing in countries
with smaller capital markets, such as limited liquidity, price volatility, restrictions on foreign investment
and repatriation of capital, and the risks associated with emerging economies, including high inflation and
interest rates and political and social uncertainties. In addition, it may be difficult to obtain and enforce a
judgment in a court in an emerging country. The economies of many emerging market countries are still
in the early stages of modern development and are subject to abrupt and unexpected change. In many
cases, governments retain a high degree of direct control over the economy and may take actions having
sudden and widespread effects. Investments in products of emerging market may also become illiquid
which may constrain Adviser’s ability to realize some or all of a client’s portfolio holdings. Accounting
standards in emerging market countries may not be as stringent as accounting standards in developed
countries.
Investment Concentration
Some client accounts may have a high concentration in one sector, industry, issuer or security that may
subject such accounts to greater risk of loss in the event such investments take an economic downturn.
Material Risks for Particular Types of Securities
The Adviser does not invest primarily in a specific security or type of security. The material risks involved
with investing are described above.
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
Investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events
that would be material to your evaluation of an adviser or the integrity of the adviser’s management.

P a g e | 9
entered into Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent with FINRA to settle the alleged violations of
FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010 and was permanently barred from associating with FINRA member firms.

with other financial institutions.

Presently, such client’s investment in the Affiliated Fund is not under the management of the Adviser.
Additionally, some of the supervised persons of Earthview Advisors, LLC carry insurance licenses. Such
individuals are separately licensed and supervised by insurances carriers for such activities.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Code of Ethics and Personal Trading Policies
Adviser has adopted the Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule 204A-l of the Advisers Act in an effort to prevent
violations of federal securities laws. Adviser expects all employees to act with honesty, integrity and
professionalism and to adhere to federal securities laws.
P a g e | 10
All officers, directors, and employees of the Adviser and any other person who provides advice on behalf
of Adviser and is subject to Adviser’s control and supervision (collectively referred to as “Supervised
Persons”) are required to adhere to the Code.
Prevention of Insider Trading
Adviser has adopted policies designed to prevent insider trading that is more fully described in the Code.
Adviser’s policy on insider trading applies to securities trading and information handling by all Supervised
Persons of Adviser (including spouses, minor children and adult members of their households and any
other relative of a Supervised Person on whose behalf Supervised Person is acting) for their own account
or the account of any client of Adviser.
Adviser takes its obligation to detect and prevent insider trading with the utmost seriousness. Adviser may
impose penalties for breaches of the policies and procedures contained in this manual, even in the absence
of any indication of insider trading. Depending on the nature of the breach, penalties may include a letter
of censure, profit “give ups,” fines, referrals to regulatory and self-regulatory bodies and dismissal.
Personal Securities Transactions
Periodic Reports
As more fully described in the Code, “access persons” are required to submit reports detailing their
personal securities holdings to the Chief Compliance Officer on an initial basis, a quarterly basis, and an
annual basis.
As an alternative to submitting quarterly transaction reports, Adviser requires persons who are “access
persons” to submit brokerage statements or trade confirmations as long as such documents contain the
information required under Rule 204A-l(b)(2)(i)(A)-(E) under the Advisers Act.
Initial Public Offerings and Limited Public Offerings
Access Persons must obtain prior written approval from the Chief Compliance Officer before investing in
initial public offerings (“IPOs”) or limited offerings (i.e., private placements). In the event the Chief
Compliance Officer wishes to purchase IPOs or the securities of a private placement for his/her own
employee account, the Chief Compliance Officer must obtain prior written approval from the Adviser’s
Board Committee.
Review of Personal Securities Reports
The Chief Compliance Officer (or their designee) is responsible for reviewing the Access Person’s
Quarterly Transaction Reports as well as the Initial Holdings Report and the Annual Holdings Report as
part of Adviser’s duty to maintain and enforce the Adviser’s Code.
In instances when the Chief Compliance Officer has engaged in personal securities transaction, the
Adviser’s Board Committee shall review the Chief Compliance Officer’s brokerage statements and trade
confirmations.
P a g e | 11
Outside Business Activities and Private Investments of Employees
Unless otherwise consented by the Chief Compliance Officer, all employees are required to devote their
full time and efforts to Adviser’s business. As such, no person may make use of either his or her position
as an employee or information acquired during employment, or make personal investments in a manner
that may create a conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between the employee’s personal interests and
Adviser’s interests. Accordingly, every employee is required to complete a disclosure form and have the
form approved by Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer prior to serving in any of the capacities or making
any of the investments more fully described in the Code.
Reporting Violations
All Supervised Persons (any officer, director, partner and employee of Adviser) are required to report
actual or known violations or suspected violations of Adviser’s Code promptly to the Chief Compliance
Officer or his designee.
Any report of a violation or suspected violation of the Code will be treated as confidential to the extent
permitted by law.
As part of Adviser’s obligations to conduct an annual review of all of its policies and procedures pursuant
to Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act, the Chief Compliance Officer shall review on an annual basis the
adequacy of the Code and the effectiveness of its implementation.
Recordkeeping
Adviser maintains the following:
▪ Copies of the Code;
▪ Records of violations of the Code and actions taken as a result of the violations;
▪ Copies of Adviser’s supervised persons’ written acknowledgement of receipt of the Code;
▪ Records of Access Persons’ personal trading — Initial Holdings Reports, Annual Holdings
Reports, and Quarterly Transaction Reports, including any information provided under Rule 204A-
1(b)(3)(iii) in lieu of such reports, i.e., brokerage confirmations and transaction reports;
▪ A record of the names of Adviser’s “Access Persons”;
▪ Records of decisions, and the reasons supporting the decision to approve an Access Person’s

Adviser’s Code; (ii) read and understands the importance of strict adherence to such policies and
procedures; and (iii) agreed to comply with the Code.
P a g e | 12
Training and Education
All Supervised Persons, i.e., all employees, are to receive training on complying with the Code on an
annual basis as part of Adviser’s annual employee compliance review meeting to ensure that all employees
fully understand their duties and obligations and how to comply with the Policy’s procedures.
Copies of Adviser’s Code
A copy of Adviser’s Code is available upon request. For a copy, please contact Adviser at 786-363-0271.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Associated Conflicts of Interest
Adviser can invest or participate in securities in which it also recommends for its clients. Adviser has
polices that require personnel who develop advice and recommendations for clients to render only
disinterested and impartial advice to clients and to comply with other fiduciary obligations, including
having an adequate basis in fact for all recommendations and an obligation to recommend only
investments that are suitable for the particular client.
The potential conflicts of interest involved in any such transactions are generally governed by Adviser’s
Code. Pursuant to the stipulations of the Code, the Adviser can buy or sell for itself securities that it also
recommends to clients. The potential conflicts of interest involved in such transactions are governed by
the Code, which establishes sanctions if its requirements are violated and requires that Adviser and
employees place the interests of Adviser’s clients above their own.
Investments in Securities by Adviser and its Personnel
Adviser’s personnel or a related person of Adviser may invest in the same or similar securities and
investments as those recommended to or entered into on behalf of Adviser’s clients. The results of the
investment activities of Adviser’s personnel or related persons for their accounts may differ from the
results achieved by or for client accounts managed by Adviser. The conflicts raised by these
circumstances are discussed below.
Adviser may recommend or effect the purchase or sale of securities in which its related persons, directly
or indirectly, has a position or interest, or of which related person(s) buys or sells for itself. Such
transactions may also include trading in securities in a manner inconsistent with the advice given to
Adviser’s clients.
Activities and transactions for client accounts may be impaired or effected at prices or terms that may be
less favorable than would otherwise have been the case had Adviser or related persons not pursued a
particular course of action with respect to the issuer of the securities. In addition, in certain instances
Adviser’s personnel may obtain information about the issuer that could limit the ability of such personnel
to buy or sell securities of the issuer on behalf of client accounts.
Transactions undertaken by Adviser’s clients may also adversely impact one or more client accounts.
Other clients of the Adviser may have, as a result of receiving reports or otherwise, access to information
regarding Adviser’s transactions or views that may affect their transactions outside of accounts controlled
by Adviser, and such transactions may negatively impact other clients’ accounts. A client’s account may
P a g e | 13
also be adversely affected by cash flows and market movements arising from purchase and sale
transactions by, as well as increases of capital in and withdrawals of capital from, other clients’ accounts.
These effects can be more pronounced in less liquid markets.
Adviser has adopted a Code of Ethics. Such Code of Ethics together with Advisers policies and procedures
restrict the ability of certain officers and employees of Adviser from engaging in securities transactions
in any securities that its clients have purchased, sold or considered for purchase or sale, for an appropriate
“black out” period. Other restrictions and reporting requirements are included in Advisers procedures and
Code of Ethics minimize or eliminate conflicts of interest.
Trading Alongside by Adviser and its Personnel
Client accounts managed by Adviser may trade in the same or similar securities at or about the same time
as accounts managed or advised by affiliates of the Adviser. Investments by Adviser’s affiliates and their
clients may have the effect of diluting or otherwise disadvantaging the values, prices or investment
strategies of a client’s account, particularly in small capitalization, emerging market or less liquid
strategies. This may occur when portfolio decisions regarding a client’s account are based on research or
other information that is also used to support portfolio decisions for Adviser’s affiliates. If a portfolio
decision or strategy for Adviser’s affiliates’ accounts or the accounts of clients of affiliates is implemented
ahead of, or contemporaneously with, similar portfolio decisions or strategies for Adviser’s client’s
account, market impact, liquidity constraints, or other factors could result in the account receiving less
favorable trading results and the costs of implementing such portfolio decisions or strategies could be
increased.
Errors
Errors may occur from time to time in transactions for client accounts. The Adviser will typically correct
any such errors that are the fault of the Adviser at no cost to the client, other than costs that the Adviser
deems immaterial. To the extent that the subsequent sale of such securities generates a profit to the
Adviser, the Adviser may retain such profits, and may, but is not required to, use such profits to offset
errors in the future or pay other client-related expenses. The Adviser will not be responsible for any errors
that occur that are not the fault of the Adviser.
Privacy Policy
Adviser considers your privacy our utmost concern. Adviser does not share any information of clients
with nonaffiliated third parties, except such information may be disclosed as necessary to process a
transaction an investor has requested, to the extent the investor specifically authorized the disclosure, to
service providers or joint marketers who agree to limit their use of such information, and to the extent
required or specifically permitted by law or reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, unauthorized
transactions or liability.
When Adviser discloses non-public personal information of clients to a non-affiliated third party that
provides services to Adviser or engages in joint marketing, Adviser shall:
▪ notify investors of the possibility of such disclosure; and
P a g e | 14
▪ enter into a contractual agreement with the third party that prohibits the third party from disclosing
or using the investors’ information other than to carry out the purposes for which the information

Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
As part of Earthview Advisors’s relationship with its clients, its Investment Advisory Agreement provides
that client may restrict the discretion and direct brokerage to any broker. The Adviser may be also
authorized in its Investment Advisory Agreement to select other securities brokers, unless the client directs
otherwise in the Agreement.
In selection brokers-dealers and custodians, Earthview Advisors will generally seek the best combination
of services provided and associated expenses. Relevant factors used in evaluating “execution quality”
include historical net prices, the execution, clearance, and settlement and error correction capabilities of
the broker or dealer generally and in connection with securities of the type and in the amounts to be bought
or sold; the broker’s or dealer’s willingness to commit capital; reliability and financial stability; the size
of the transaction; availability of securities to borrow for short sales; and the market for the security.
In addition to a broker-dealer’s ability to provide “execution quality,” the Adviser’s selection criteria may
include the value of various services or products provided by the broker-dealer. For example, Earthview
Advisors may acquire: research reports on or other information about particular companies, sectors or
industries; economic surveys and analyses; recommendations as to specific securities; electronic market
quotations; non-mass-marketed financial publications; portfolio evaluation services; performance
measurement services; market, economic and financial studies and forecasts; data on pricing and
availability of securities; certain financial database software and services; and other products or services
that may enhance its investment decision making.
On occasion, clients might require to have their account held in the custody and trades executed at a
broker-dealer of their choice, which may or may not cost more to the client. Clients may pay commissions
higher than those obtainable from other brokers for the same services rendered by other broker-dealer
recommended to the client by Earthview Advisors.
Earthview Advisors can aggregate sale and purchase orders of securities held by a client with similar
orders being made simultaneously for other client accounts or entities if, in the reasonable judgment of
Earthview Advisors, such aggregation is reasonably likely to result in an overall economic benefit to
clients based on an evaluation that the clients will benefit from relatively better purchase or sale prices,
lower commission expenses or beneficial timing of transactions, or a combination of these and other
factors. In general, the average price of all securities purchased or sold in such transactions will be
P a g e | 15
determined, and a client will be charged or credited, as the case may be, the average transaction price.
Although, in any given case, this practice could have a detrimental or beneficial effect upon the price or
value of the security for any client account, Earthview Advisors believes that on an overall basis such
practice is beneficial to clients. While Earthview Advisors believes this is beneficial and fair on an overall
basis with respect to all Earthview Advisors accounts, there can be no assurance that on a trade-by-trade
or overall basis that any particular client will not be treated more or less favorably than another client.
It is the Adviser’s policy not to enter into soft dollar arrangements and the Adviser has no formal soft
dollar arrangements. The Adviser does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker-dealers,
whether it or a related person receives client referrals from such broker-dealer.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Adviser does not direct brokerage to particular brokers in consideration for client referrals.
Item 13 - Review of Accounts
Accounts are typically reviewed by the Chief Compliance Officer on a periodic basis or as needed due to
market conditions or transactional activity, amongst other items. The Chief Compliance Officer typically
reviews daily transactions entered into for investment advisory clients to determine that correct entries
have been made for all client records.
Factors Triggering a Review
There are no specific triggering factors leading to a review.
Client Reports
Clients of the Adviser receive at least quarterly reports from their qualified Custodian. The Adviser can
provide a consolidated/performance report, upon request and as agreed between the Adviser and the client,
no less than on a quarterly basis. The Adviser’s report will typically include a listing of securities owned,
a description of how their account is allocated, as well as performance measurement. The Adviser urges
clients to compare the statements received from their custodian with any consolidated report provided by
the Adviser. Clients should immediately inform the Adviser of any discrepancy noted between the
custodian records and the reports clients received from the Adviser.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Adviser’s compensation is primarily in the form of management fees. At the time, the Adviser does not
make or receive cash payments in reference to client referrals or solicitations. In the event that the Adviser
were to receive client referrals from an affiliated or non-affiliated third-party promoter, the Adviser will
enter into a written agreement with such promoter for the solicitation of prospective clients who become
the Adviser’s clients. The agreement will outline the nature of the relationship between the promoter and
the Adviser and any fees to be paid to the promoter. The Adviser will ensure each prospective client
P a g e | 16
receives a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV Part 2, and a disclosure document, where applicable. Cash
payments to the promoter corresponding to referral fees will be structured to comply fully with the
requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 under the Advisers Act.
Item 15 - Custody
All assets are typically held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Therefore, aside from debiting
fees from its clients' accounts to pay for services rendered, Earthview Advisors does not maintain custody
of its clients’ funds. Clients receive monthly or quarterly statements from the broker-dealer, bank or other
qualified custodian that holds and maintains the client’s investment assets.
Item 16 - Investment Discretion
Adviser receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an advisory relationship to select
the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases, however, such discretion is to be
exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular client account.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, Adviser observes the investment policies, limitations
and restrictions of the clients for which it advises. Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided
to Adviser in writing.
Item 17 - Voting Client Securities
Earthview Advisors does not vote or provide advice to clients regarding the voting of proxies on securities,
thus, clients are expected to vote their own proxies. Clients may request a copy of proxy voting records
via contact to the Client’s respective custodian.
Item 18 - Financial Information
The Adviser has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to clients. Also, the Adviser has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
