Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Clarendon Private LLC (“Clarendon Private” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”)
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Clarendon Private was founded in August 2021 and is
owned and operated by Brookline Bancorp, Inc. This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the
qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Clarendon Private.
For additional information of the Advisor’s Disclosure Brochure, please contact Marc White, Chief Compliance
Officer at (617) 927-7999.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Clarendon Private offers wealth management services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
endowments and businesses (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. Clarendon Private’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
Clarendon Private provides customized wealth management solutions for its Clients. Wealth management services
typically include the Advisor’s discretionary investment management services and relating financial planning and
consulting services. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing
discretionary investment management and related advisory services.
Investment Management Services – Clarendon Private 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.
Clarendon Private will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”),
individual stocks, mutual funds, individual bonds, cash equivalents and/or alternative investments, as appropriate,
to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy
portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the
Advisor and the Client.
Clarendon Private’s investment strategies are 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. Clarendon Private 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.
Clarendon Private evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal
due diligence process. Clarendon Private may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio. Clarendon Private 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.
Clarendon Private 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.
Retirement Plan 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
Clarendon Private LLC
131 Clarendon Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02116-5131
Phone: (617) 927-7999
https://www.clarendonprivate.com/
Page 4
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
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 – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, Clarendon Private will
recommend that Clients utilize one or more unaffiliated investment managers or investment platforms (collectively
“Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and
objectives. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over each Independent
Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned with Clients investment objectives and overall best interests. The
Advisor will also assist the Client in the development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the
ongoing Client relationship. The Client will be provided with the Independent Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A –
Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
Financial Planning Services – In connection with its investment management services, Clarendon Private 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
and objectives. 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 may
encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning,
personal savings, education savings, estate/legacy planning, insurance needs, and/or other areas of a Client’s
financial situation.
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. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Clarendon Private 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 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.
Clarendon will provide investment management services and related services. Clarendon accepts custody of a
Client's funds or securities due to shared information systems and operational dependency on Brookline Bancorp
Inc.

C. Client Account Management

the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Clarendon Private, in connection with the Client, will develop a
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.

stated goals and objectives of the Client.
•

services are provided directly by Clarendon Private.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, the Advisor manages $344,304,586 in Client assets, all of which are managed on a
discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a wealth
management agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the wealth
management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at
the end of the prior quarter. Wealth management fees are based on the information outlined below:

Page 6
The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
Clarendon Private will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or more
Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation from an
Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described above. The Advisor will
allocate a portion of the advisory fee collected to the Independent Manager pursuant to the terms of the executed
agreement between the Advisor and the Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and
the Independent Manager’s fee, will not exceed 2.00% annually.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at
the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted
from the Client’s account[s] following the end of the respective quarter The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by the number of days in the year, multiplied by the number of days in the quarter)
to the total assets under management with Clarendon Private at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided
with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the wealth management fee. Clients are
urged to also review and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to the brokerage statement from the
Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting
advisory fees to be deducted by Clarendon Private to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as
part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Use of Independent Managers
For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Advisor and the Independent Manager will
each assume the responsibility for calculating and deducting its respective fees from the Client’s account[s].
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Clarendon Private, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor’s recommended Custodian does not charge
securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client’s account, provided that the account meets the
terms and conditions of the Custodian’s brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for
mutual funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by Clarendon Private are separate and distinct from
these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Clarendon Private for wealth management services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for
the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Clarendon
Private, but would not receive the services provided by Clarendon Private which are designed, among other things,
to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial
situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees
charged by Clarendon Private to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage

Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services
Clarendon Private may be compensated for its wealth management services at the end of the quarter after services
are rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth management agreement within five (5)
business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur
charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by
the Client. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior
consent.
Use of Independent Managers
In the event that the Advisor has determined that an Independent Manager is no longer in the Client’s best interest,
the Advisor will have the discretion to terminate the relationship with the Independent Manager. The terms for
termination are set forth in the respective agreements between the Advisor and the Independent Managers.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Clarendon Private does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the Wealth management fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Clarendon Private does not charge performance-based fees for its wealth management services. The fees charged
by Clarendon Private are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds
or securities held by any Client.
Clarendon Private does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a
mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its
Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Clarendon Private offers wealth management services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
endowments and businesses. Clarendon Private generally services Clients with a relationship size of $3,000,000
and above. Clarendon Private may reduce these minimums at its sole discretion.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Clarendon Private primarily employs a fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment
strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from Clarendon Private are derived from numerous sources,
including financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company
activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with
a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment,
it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in
the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors
these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the
Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.

Phone: (617) 927-7999
https://www.clarendonprivate.com/
Page 8
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and
trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk
in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if
the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Clarendon Private will be able to accurately predict such
a reoccurrence.
As noted above, Clarendon Private generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent
with their financial goals. Clarendon Private will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but
may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At
times, Clarendon Private may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the
goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Clarendon Private will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no
guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client’s investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client’s account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client’s account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client
or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction
process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-
ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.

Fixed Income Risks
Fixed income is subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices
will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond’s time to maturity, and the
coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate
than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate
that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the
risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its
repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity
Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Margin Borrowings
The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if securities
pledged to brokers to secure a Client’s margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to a “margin
call”, pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of mandatory
liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited liquidity. An
investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions and
investments that may carry higher risks. Client should only have a portion of their assets in these investments.
Risks That Apply Primarily to ESG Strategies
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing may include additional risks. For example, ESG or
sustainable investing strategies, including ESG mutual funds and ETFs (ESG Strategies) may limit the types and
number of investment opportunities and, as a result, could underperform other strategies that do not have an ESG
or sustainable focus. ESG Strategies may invest in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a
whole or underperform other strategies screened for ESG standards. ESG Strategies can be more concentrated in
particular industries or sectors that share common characteristics and are often subject to similar business risks
and regulatory burdens. Because investing on the basis of sustainability/ESG criteria can involve qualitative and
subjective analysis, there can be no assurance that the methodology utilized by, or determinations made by, an
investment manager will align with the beliefs or values of the client.
ESG Strategies can follow different approaches to ESG investing. For example, some ESG Strategies select
companies based on positive ESG characteristics while others may apply negative screens in order to exclude
certain investments. Such investment strategies may also offer the ability to exclude particular sectors or industries
from a portfolio. Restrictions and exclusions can affect the investment manager’s ability to make investments or
take advantage of opportunities that may be available to clients that do not choose similar restrictions and, as a
result, investment performance could suffer. Issuer screening aims to screen companies (issuers) with revenue
derived from the restricted category selected by the client, but it does not exclude all companies with any tie or
revenue derived from such restricted category. Accordingly, it is possible for the client’s portfolio to hold
investments in companies that derive some revenue from a restricted category. Any faith-based restrictions will
exclude multiple categories selected by a third party provider based generally on the values and norms of such
groups; however, such restrictions may not completely represent or fully align with the client’s values or religious
beliefs.
ESG or sustainable investing is not a uniformly defined concept and scores or ratings may vary across data
providers that use similar or different screens based on their process for identifying ESG issuers. The companies

Page 10
selected as demonstrating positive ESG characteristics may not be the same companies selected by other
investment managers that use similar ESG screens or methodologies. In addition, companies selected might not
exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics. ESG investing practices differ by asset class, country, region, and
industry and are constantly evolving, and a company’s ESG practices can change over time.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss
these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Clarendon Private or its management
persons. Clarendon Private values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to
perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of
the Advisor or Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 316616.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Bank Affiliation – Brookline Bancorp
The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary and controlled by Brookline Bancorp (“Brookline Bancorp”). Brookline
Bancorp is a multi-bank holding company for Brookline Bank and Bank Rhode Island and their subsidiaries.
Brookline Bancorp is a commercially-focused financial institution and through its banks, offers a wide range of
commercial, business and retail banking services, including a full complement of cash management products, on-
line banking services, consumer and residential loans and investment services designed to meet the financial
needs of small-to mid-sized businesses and retail customers. Brookline Bancorp may refer prospective clients to
utilize the services of Clarendon Private for retail customer wealth management needs. Additionally, Clarendon
Private may refer Clients to Brookline Bancorp for banking needs. This presents a conflict of interest as Brookline
Bancorp stands to benefit from additional revenue if Clients engage Clarendon Private for services. Clients are not
obligated to utilize the services of Brookline Bancorp in order to remain a Client of the Advisor.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Clarendon Private has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment
to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Clarendon Private (“Supervised Persons”). The
Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to
each Client. Clarendon Private and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards
each Client. It is the obligation of Clarendon Private’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific
provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics
that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at
(617) 927-7999.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Clarendon Private allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Clarendon Private does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the
Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Clarendon Private does
not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.

Page 11
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Clarendon Private allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by Clarendon Private requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for
review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and
procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Clarendon Private allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or
traded afterwards. At no time will Clarendon Private, or any Supervised Person of Clarendon Private,
transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Clarendon Private does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and
execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client
assets and authorize Clarendon Private to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the wealth
management agreement. Further, Clarendon Private does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate
commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Clarendon Private does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended
Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not
recommended by Clarendon Private. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the
recommended Custodian is not engaged. Clarendon Private may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such
as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client,
and its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. Clarendon Private will generally recommend that
Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and
member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. Clarendon Private maintains an institutional
relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Schwab. Please see Item 14
below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Clarendon Private does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14
below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Clarendon Private does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection
with the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Clarendon Private will
place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client
accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions

131 Clarendon Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02116-5131
Phone: (617) 927-7999
https://www.clarendonprivate.com/
Page 12
(i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts
(i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Clarendon Private will not be
obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest
available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Clarendon Private will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. Clarendon Private may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading
day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold
by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or
other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any
particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisor Persons of the Advisor
and periodically by the CCO. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently
depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result
of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or
withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Clarendon Private if changes occur in the
Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may
be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the
Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also
provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Clarendon Private
Clarendon Private is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment
product. Clarendon Private does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-
dealers or any un-related third party. Clarendon Private may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory
professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the
goals of its Clients. Likewise, Clarendon Private may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various
third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Clarendon Private has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services”
unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Clarendon Private. As a registered
investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Clarendon Private receives access to

https://www.clarendonprivate.com/
Page 13
software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients
that maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but
not all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at
all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic
benefits from a custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's
recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able
to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and
other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to
directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back-office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but may
not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and support to Clarendon Private
that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support, consulting
services and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the
Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. Clarendon Private believes,
however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
Custody, as it applies to investment advisors, has been defined as having access or control over client funds and/or
securities, but does not include the ability to execute transactions in client accounts. Custody is not limited to
physically holding client funds and securities. If an investment advisor has the ability to access or control client
funds or securities, the investment adviser may be deemed to have custody for purposes of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 and must ensure proper procedures are implemented.
Related Person Custody
As noted in Item 10 above, the Advisor is owned by and affiliated with Brookline Bancorp. Given the nature of the
business, Brookline Bancorp and in connection with advisory services provided to Clients, related persons are
deemed to have custody of certain Client assets. An independent public accountant conducts an annual surprise
custody audit of Mutual clients.
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction of
advisory fees, all Clients for whom Clarendon Private exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a
"qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and
securities and must instruct Clarendon Private to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf.
Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by
Clarendon Private to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Clarendon Private to move funds between
their accounts, Clarendon Private and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money
movement activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.

Page 14
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Clarendon Private generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to
by Clarendon Private. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting
of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of a wealth management agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Clarendon Private will be in accordance
with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Clarendon Private typically does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client, unless explicitly directed
otherwise in writing by the Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will
assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy
decisions and voting.
In limited instances where the Advisor does assume proxy voting responsibility, policies and procedures have been
established to ensure proxies are voted in the Clients best interest. A copy of the proxy voting policies and
procedures may be made available to the Client upon request.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Clarendon Private, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair
the ability of Clarendon Private to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Clarendon Private, nor any of its
Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Clarendon Private is not required to
deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200
or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.

(collectively, the “CFP ® marks”) are professional certification marks granted in the United States by CERTIFIED
FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP ® Board”).
The CFP ® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners
to hold CFP ® certification. It is recognized in the United States and a number of other countries for its (1) high
standard of professional education; (2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical
requirements that govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 87,000 individuals have
obtained CFP ® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP ® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the financial planning
subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as necessary for the competent and
professional delivery of financial planning services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally
accredited United States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP Board’s
financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits
planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP ® Certification Examination. The examination includes case
studies and client scenarios designed to test one’s ability to correctly diagnose financial planning issues
and apply one’s knowledge of financial planning to real-world circumstances;
• Experience – Complete at least three years of full-time financial planning-related experience (or the
equivalent, measured as 2,000 hours per year); and
• Ethics – Agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Standards of Professional Conduct, a set of documents
outlining the ethical and practice standards for CFP ® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements in
order to maintain the right to continue to use the CFP ® marks:
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education hours every two years, including two
hours on the Code of Ethics and other parts of the Standards of Professional Conduct, to maintain
competence and keep up with developments in the financial planning field; and
• Ethics – Renew an agreement to be bound by the Standards of Professional Conduct. The Standards
prominently require that CFP ® professionals provide financial planning services at a fiduciary standard of
care. This means CFP ® professionals must provide financial planning services in the best interests of
their clients.
