Section 4: Advisory Business
Firm History
Jimmy Kull founded Cypress Point in 2007. Mr. Kull retains majority ownership today, and an existing client
owns an 18% minority interest. In 2020, Brandon Ratzlaff and Scott Boyd were added as minority
shareholders. In 2022, Ai Vee McAninch was added as a minority shareholder. Our passion is creating
solutions for our clients’ financial problems, and for that reason we’ve made our motto “simplifying the chaos
of life™.” We care about what keeps our clients up at night, and that focus feeds directly into our firm’s
mission, which is to empower clients to live lives of meaning.
Types of Advisory Services
Our process begins with a free consultation to determine your current financial situation and the areas, if
any, where our professional experience may be helpful. Cypress Point offers a broad range of services to its
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 3 of 33
clients including family office services, financial planning, investment management, and private fund
management.
Family Office Services
Families with significant net worth face complex issues that require multiple areas of expertise. This
complexity is in addition to the same concerns shared by most of our clients – namely, who can we trust, and
is the advice we receive truly objective?
For a select group of families, we provide services daily that we call “Family Office Services.” Each of our
families receiving Family Office Services considers us to be their primary trusted advisor, and we typically
have one or more full-time employees dedicated to serving each family’s needs. Together with other
professionals, we help clients create, implement, and monitor strategies and reporting related to estate
planning, income taxes, investments, philanthropy, generational wealth transfer, and cash management.
Our Family Office Services are offered under a separate Limited Consulting Agreement. Services are tailored
to the family and include one or more of the following:
• Personal Financial Coordination
•
Investment Strategy Consultation
• Debt, Risk Management and Asset Protection Consultation
• Overall Financial Integration
• Proactive Management of Client Affairs
Financial Planning
We can be engaged to provide sensible and objective financial planning analysis and recommendations in
the following areas:
• Cash flow planning
• Financial independence and retirement
• Education planning
• Risk management planning
•
Investment planning
• Estate planning and wealth transfer
• Tax planning
The above fee-only services can be undertaken either on a comprehensive or modular basis. All services and
fees are outlined in a written Financial Planning Agreement or a Limited Consulting Agreement.
Typically, after the free consultation to determine the scope of the financial planning and a review of the
provided financial documents, we determine the cost to provide the requested service(s), communicate the
proposed fee to you, and finalize, upon receiving your affirmation to move forward, a written agreement.
Once the written agreement is in place, we provide you with a list of the financial documents we will require
to supplement what you already provided to us as part of the free consultation. This information typically
includes everything necessary to create a personal balance sheet and income statement and may include tax
returns, bank and credit card statements, mortgage statements, insurance policies, employee benefit
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure

information, brokerage statements, and any trust or estate documents.
The next step in our financial planning process is to evaluate your current financial situation with the aid of
financial planning software and other research tools. We consider various scenarios to determine alternatives
for achieving your financial objectives and potential problem areas requiring further discussion. We present
our findings with you and discuss whether we need to refine any of our assumptions and/or
recommendations. Ultimately the objective is to prioritize a set of goals and help you chart a course for
attaining those goals.
We believe that a financial plan must be properly implemented and consistently monitored. Therefore, we
remain available to coordinate our services with those of your other advisors (accountant, attorney,
insurance agent, business manager, agent, etc.).
Investment Management
Our Investment Advisory Agreement allows us to execute trades for your accounts without requiring your
prior approval. This is known as discretion. Your investment advisory agreement will detail the accounts for
which we provide investment advice and the accounts for which we will charge a fee.
Our investment philosophy is primarily that of a long-term, low-turnover strategy in a balanced, well-
diversified portfolio. We believe we can achieve diversification and meet client objectives through the
appropriate allocation of mutual funds, exchange traded funds and alternative investments. Our seven core
investing principles are as follows:
1. Proper Asset Allocation. Long-term success or failure is largely dependent upon the appropriate
mix of equities, fixed income, and alternatives.
2. Broad Diversification. Minimize risk to smooth investment returns over time.
3. Tax Efficiency. Employ multiple strategies to minimize the tax impact on portfolios.
4. Elimination of Excessive Costs. Even the smallest expense can have a large impact over time.
5. Rebalance Systematically. Portfolio discipline in maintaining an appropriate asset allocation
helps reduce risk and capture better long-term returns.
6. Tilt towards “Value” Companies. Historical data validates that a “value” tilt usually results in
better long-term performance.
7. Promote Disciplined Investor Behavior. Discipline and patience are necessary to invest
successfully.
Cypress Point provides ongoing investment advisory services including the following:
• Development of an asset allocation strategy that considers risk tolerance, time horizon, and
financial objectives
• Recommendation of specific investments
• Placement of trades with your custodian
• Assistance with custodian paperwork and follow-up on requested service issues
• Regular portfolio monitoring throughout the year
Custody. As part of its investment advisory services and as discussed later in the document at Section 12,
Cypress Point recommends that Fidelity and/or Schwab serve as the broker-dealer/custodian for clients’
investment management assets. Broker-dealers such as Fidelity and/or Schwab charge brokerage
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 5 of 33
commissions and/or transaction fees for effecting securities transactions. In addition to Cypress Point’s
investment management fee, clients will also incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange traded fund
purchases, charges imposed at the fund level (e.g. management fees and other fund expenses). The fees
charged by Fidelity and/or Schwab, as well as the charges imposed at the mutual fund and exchange traded
fund level, are in addition to Cypress Point’s advisory fee referenced in Section 5 below.
Please Note: Retirement Rollovers-Potential for Conflict of Interest: A client or prospective client leaving an
employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may engage in a combination
of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to
the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual
Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age,
result in adverse tax consequences). If Cypress Point recommends that a client roll over their retirement plan
assets into an account to be managed by Cypress Point, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest
if Cypress Point will earn new (or increase its current) compensation as a result of the rollover. If Cypress
Point provides a recommendation as to whether a client should engage in a rollover or not (whether it is from
an employer’s plan or an existing IRA), Cypress Point is acting as a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are
laws governing retirement accounts. No client is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets to
an account managed by Cypress Point, whether it is from an employer’s plan or an existing IRA. Cypress
Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address any questions that a client or
prospective client may have regarding the potential for conflict of interest presented by such rollover
recommendation.
Independent Managers. Cypress Point may allocate a portion of a client’s investment assets among
unaffiliated independent investment managers in accordance with the client’s designated investment
objective(s). In such situations, the Independent Manager(s) shall have day-to-day responsibility for the active
discretionary management of the allocated assets. Cypress Point shall continue to render investment
supervisory services to the client relative to the ongoing monitoring and review of account performance, asset
allocation, and client investment objectives. Factors that Cypress Point shall consider in recommending
Independent Manager(s) include the client’s designated investment objective(s) and the manager(s’)
management style, performance, reputation, reporting, pricing, and research.
Please Note: The investment management fee charged by the Independent Manager(s) is
separate from, and in addition to, Cypress Point’s advisory fee as set forth in the fee schedule
at Section 5 below. Cypress Point includes assets managed by Independent Managers as part
of our discretionary Assets Under Management (AUM) because we can exercise discretion on
hiring or firing the unaffiliated independent investment manager as part of our supervisory
services and ongoing monitoring and review of client accounts. The fees charged by
Independent Managers can range roughly from 0.03% to 1.40% of the assets allocated to the
Independent Manager(s); fees for equity managers are generally higher than those for fixed
income managers. ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd,
remains available to address any questions regarding Independent Manager(s), and the
additional fees to be incurred by the client as result of such engagements. The Chief
Compliance Officer may be contacted at the following email address: sboyd@cypress-
wealth.com.
Custodian Charges-Additional Fees. As discussed below at Item 12, when requested to recommend
a broker-dealer/custodian for client accounts, Cypress Point generally recommends that Schwab or
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 6 of 33
Fidelity serve as the broker-dealer/custodian for client investment management assets. Broker-
dealers such as Schwab and Fidelity charge brokerage commissions, transaction, and/or other type
fees for effecting certain types of securities transactions (i.e., including transaction fees for certain
mutual funds, and mark-ups and mark-downs charged for fixed income transactions, etc.). The types
of securities for which transaction fees, commissions, and/or other type fees (as well as the amount
of those fees) shall differ depending upon the broker-dealer/custodian (while certain custodians,
including Schwab and Fidelity, do not currently charge fees on individual equity transactions, others
do). These fees/charges are in addition to Cypress Point’s investment advisory fee at Item 5 below.
Cypress Point does not receive any portion of these fees/charges. ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s
Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address any questions that a client or
prospective client may have regarding the above.
Please Note: Cash Positions. Cypress Point continues to treat cash as an asset class. As such, unless
determined to the contrary by Cypress Point, all cash positions (money markets, etc.) shall continue to be
included as part of assets under management for purposes of calculating Cypress Point’s advisory fee. At any
specific point in time, depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no
guarantee that such anticipated market conditions/events will occur), Cypress Point may maintain cash
positions for defensive purposes. In addition, while assets are maintained in cash, such amounts could miss
market advances. Depending upon current yields, at any point in time, Cypress Point’s advisory fee could
exceed the interest paid by the client’s money market fund. ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief
Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective may
have regarding the above fee billing practice.
Cash Sweep Accounts. Certain account custodians can require that cash proceeds from account transactions
or new deposits, be swept to and/or initially maintained in a specific custodian designated sweep account.
The yield on the sweep account will generally be lower than those available for other money market
accounts. When this occurs with material cash positions, to help mitigate the corresponding yield dispersion,
Cypress Point shall (usually within 30 days thereafter) generally (with exceptions) purchase a higher yielding
money market fund (or other type security) available on the custodian’s platform, unless Cypress Point
reasonably anticipates that it will utilize the cash proceeds during the subsequent 30-day period to purchase
additional investments for the client’s account. Exceptions and/or modifications can and will occur with
respect to all or a portion of the cash balances for various reasons, including, but not limited to the amount
of dispersion between the sweep account and a money market fund, the size of the cash balance, an
indication from the client of an imminent need for such cash, or the client has a demonstrated history of
writing checks from the account. Please Note: The above does not apply to the cash component maintained
within a Cypress Point actively managed investment strategy (the cash balances for which shall generally
remain in the custodian designated cash sweep account), an indication from the client of a need for access
to such cash, assets allocated to an unaffiliated investment manager, and cash balances maintained for fee
billing purposes. Please Also Note: The client shall remain exclusively responsible for yield dispersion/cash
balance decisions and corresponding transactions for cash balances maintained in any Cypress Point
unmanaged accounts. ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains
available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above.

Portfolio Activity. Cypress Point has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s
best interest. As part of its investment advisory services, Cypress Point will review client portfolios on
an ongoing basis to determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including, but
not
tenure, style drift, account
additions/withdrawals, and/or a change in the client’s investment objective. Based upon these
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 7 of 33
factors, there may be extended periods of time when Cypress Point determines that changes to a
client’s portfolio are neither necessary, nor prudent. Clients remain subject to the fees described in
Item 5 below during periods of account inactivity.
Private Fund Investments and Management
Cypress Point provides investment advice regarding affiliated and unaffiliated private investment funds.
Cypress Point, on a non-discretionary basis, may recommend that certain qualified clients consider an
investment in affiliated private investment funds (see Conflict of Interest below) and/or unaffiliated private
investment funds. Cypress Point will not exercise discretion in the purchase of affiliated and unaffiliated
private investment funds unless: 1) the client has granted specific authority to do so, or 2) in the case of a blind
trust CPWM will exercise discretion provided that an independent representative is named to receive account
statements from the fund to ensure that assets are not misused. Cypress Point’s role relative to unaffiliated
private investment funds shall be limited to its initial and ongoing due diligence and investment monitoring
services. If a client determines to become a private fund investor in an unaffiliated fund, the amount of assets
invested in the fund(s) shall generally be included as part of “assets under management” for purposes of
Cypress Point calculating its investment advisory fee. If a client determines to become a private fund investor
in an affiliated fund, the amount of assets invested in the fund(s) shall be excluded as part of “assets under
management” for purposes of Cypress Point calculating its investment advisory fee. Cypress Point’s clients are
under absolutely no obligation to consider or make an investment in any private investment fund(s), whether
affiliated or unaffiliated.
Please Note: Risk Factors: Private investment funds generally involve various risk factors, including,
but not limited to, potential for complete loss of principal, liquidity constraints and lack of
transparency, a complete discussion of which is set forth in each fund’s offering documents, which
will be provided to each client for review and consideration. Unlike liquid investments that a client
may own, private investment funds do not provide daily liquidity or pricing. Each prospective client
investor will be required to complete a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the client shall
establish that he/she is qualified for investment in the fund and acknowledges and accepts the various
risk factors that are associated with such an investment.
Please Note: Valuation. In the event that Cypress Point references private investment funds owned
by the client on any supplemental account reports prepared by Cypress Point, the value(s) for all
private investment funds owned by the client shall reflect the most recent valuation provided by the
fund sponsor. However, if subsequent to purchase, the fund has not provided an updated valuation,
the valuation Cypress Point reports shall reflect the initial purchase price on the statement. If
subsequent to purchase, the fund provides an updated valuation, then the Cypress Point will reflect
that updated value on the statement. Cypress Point will continue to reflect the updated value on the
report until the fund provides a further updated value. Please Also Note: As result of the valuation
process, if the valuation reflects initial purchase price or an updated value subsequent to purchase
price, the current value(s) of an investor’s fund holding(s) could be significantly more or less than the
value reflected on the report. Unless otherwise indicated, the client’s advisory fee for unaffiliated
private investment fund investments shall be based upon the value reflected in the report.
Please Note: Affiliated Managing Member. A Cypress Point affiliated entity, Cypress LGC
SPV, LLC (“LGC”), owned by Cypress Point’s CEO, Jimmy Kull (for which Cypress Point
Directors, Brandon Ratzlaff and Scott Boyd, also serve as officers), serves as Managing
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 8 of 33
Member for Cypress Goldcrest Fund III Feeder, LP (the “Fund”), a private venture capital fund
associated with an 18% Cypress Point minority owner (see disclosure immediately below
paragraph, and Section 8). Eligible Cypress Point clients were invited to invest in the Fund.
LGC receives reimbursement for fund expenses it incurs in administering the fund, such as
external professional fees from attorneys and auditors. However, neither Cypress Point, nor
LGC, receive an advisory fee for client assets invested in the Fund. Given that it is a private
investment, the Fund involves various Risk Factors (see disclosure above and at Section 8
below). No client is obligated to invest in the Fund, or any other private investment fund,
whether affiliated or unaffiliated.
Please Note: Conflict of Interest: An 18% owner of Cypress Point is the General Partner of, or is
affiliated with the General Partner of, private investment funds to which clients have been, and
potentially will be, introduced. In addition to being an 18% Cypress Point owner, such individual is also
a Cypress Point investment advisory client and a source of Cypress Point prospective client
introductions, thereby creating a conflict of interest relative to Cypress Point’s introduction of any
such affiliated fund to its clients. Cypress Point has an economic incentive to introduce the fund to its
clients (i.e., as result of the introduction, Cypress Point will assist an individual owner, client, and
referral source from whom it currently earns, and anticipates it will continue to earn, investment
advisory fees, and receives, and anticipates it will continue to receive, prospective new client
introductions). Cypress Point shall not include the amount that a client invests in any such affiliated
fund for the purposes of determining the client’s investment advisory fee per Section 5 below. Cypress
Point’s clients are under absolutely no obligation to consider or make an investment in any private
investment fund(s) affiliated with such 18% owner.
Other Fund Administrative Services: The Firm is also affiliated with Cypress Craft Carry 2022 LP
(“CCC”), a special purpose vehicle owned by Firm CEO, Jimmy Kull. Cypress Point provides
administrative services for compensation to Craft Fund IV and Craft Growth II (together, the “Craft
Funds”), both of which are closed to new investors. Several Firm clients have invested in the Craft
Funds. A Firm client is affiliated with the General Partner of the Craft Funds. The Firm provides
compensated administrative services to the Fund. However, neither the Firm, nor CCC, receive an
advisory fee for Firm client assets invested in the Craft Funds. Subsequent to the close of the Craft
Funds, the Craft Funds’ General Partner offered CCC a percentage of its carried interest in the Craft
Funds. No such carried interest has yet been paid to CCC. In the event that CCC or the Firm is
engaged to provide administrative services for any new Craft sponsored funds, Cypress Point would
have an economic incentive to introduce its clients to these new funds, thereby presenting conflicts
of interest:
• The Firm would assist a current client from whom it currently earns, and anticipates it
would continue to earn, consulting fees
• The Firm would earn administrative compensation; and
• CCC could earn a percentage of the fund[s]carried interest.
In order to mitigate the conflict, neither the Firm, nor CCC, will receive an advisory fee for Firm
client assets invested in the fund[s]. No client is under any obligation to invest in any Craft
sponsored funds.
ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address
any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding private investment funds and
the above conflict of interest. The Chief Compliance Officer may be contacted at the following email

Borrowing Against Assets/Risks. A client who has a need to borrow money could determine to do so by
using:
• Margin-The account custodian or broker-dealer lends money to the client. The custodian charges
the client interest for the right to borrow money, and uses the assets in the client’s brokerage
account as collateral; or,
• Pledged Assets Loan- In consideration for a lender (i.e., a bank, etc.) to make a loan to the client,
the client pledges its investment assets held at the account custodian as collateral;
These above-described collateralized loans are generally utilized because they typically provide more
favorable interest rates than standard commercial loans. These types of collateralized loans can assist
with a pending home purchase, permit the retirement of more expensive debt, or enable borrowing in
lieu of liquidating existing account positions and incurring capital gains taxes. However, such loans are
not without potential material risk to the client’s investment assets. The lender (i.e., custodian, bank,
etc.) will have recourse against the client’s investment assets in the event of loan default or if the assets
fall below a certain level. For this reason, Cypress Point does not recommend such borrowing unless it
is for specific short-term purposes (i.e., a bridge loan to purchase a new residence). Cypress Point does
not recommend such borrowing for investment purposes (i.e., to invest borrowed funds in the market).
Regardless, if the client was to determine to utilize margin or a pledged assets loan, the following
economic benefits would inure to Cypress Point:
• by taking the loan rather than liquidating assets in the client’s account, Cypress Point continues to
•
•
earn a fee on such Account assets; and,
if the client invests any portion of the loan proceeds in an account to be managed by Cypress Point,
Cypress Point will receive an advisory fee on the invested amount; and,
if Cypress Point’s advisory fee is based upon the higher margined account value (see margin
disclosure at Item 5 below), Cypress Point will earn a correspondingly higher advisory fee. This could
provide Cypress Point with a disincentive to encourage the client to discontinue the use of margin.
Please Note: The Client must accept the above risks and potential corresponding consequences
associated with the use of margin or a pledged assets loan.
Cybersecurity Risk. The information technology systems and networks that Cypress Point and its third-party
service providers use to provide services to Cypress Point’s clients employ various controls that are designed
to prevent cybersecurity incidents stemming from intentional or unintentional actions that could cause
significant interruptions in Cypress Point’s operations and/or result in the unauthorized acquisition or use of
clients’ confidential or non-public personal information. Clients and Cypress Point are nonetheless subject to
the risk of cybersecurity incidents that could ultimately cause them to incur financial losses and/or other
adverse consequences. Although the Cypress Point has established processes to reduce the risk of
cybersecurity incidents, there is no guarantee that these efforts will always be successful, especially
considering that the Cypress Point does not control the cybersecurity measures and policies employed by
third-party service providers, issuers of securities, broker-dealers, qualified custodians, governmental and
other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial market operators and providers.
Other Services
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 10 of 33
Cypress Point provides custom services and solutions to its clients on a case-by-case basis as negotiated by
the client. These include administrative services, bookkeeping, and professional services coordination and
communications.
NOTE: Cypress Point does not provide tax preparation, tax advice, or legal counsel. We encourage you to
consult your accountant or attorney on all tax and legal matters, respectively.
Client Obligations
In performing our services, Cypress Point shall not be required to verify any information received from the
client or from the client’s other professionals, and Cypress Point is expressly authorized to rely thereon.
Moreover, each client is advised that it remains his/her/its responsibility to notify Cypress Point promptly if
there is ever any change in his/her/its financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of
reviewing, evaluating, or revising our previous recommendations and/or services.
Please Note: Investment Risk: Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and it
should not b e a s s u m e d that future performance of any specific investment or investment
strategy (including the investments and/or investment strategies recommended or undertaken by
Cypress Point) will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).
Current Client Assets
As of December 31, 2024, Cypress Point had approximately $933 million in discretionary assets under
management and approximately $140 million in non-discretionary assets under management for a total of
approximately $1,073 million under management. The non-discretionary assets include private equity, hedge
funds, and real estate for which there are not readily available market values. We reflect the value of those
assets at their cost basis unless we receive an updated value from an independent third-party administrator,
or we are otherwise instructed by the client. Additional assets for which we give occasional advice but do not
have ongoing supervision are not included in these amounts.
Limitations of Financial Planning and Non-Investment Consulting/Implementation Services. Cypress Point can
be engaged to provide financial planning and related consulting services regarding non-investment related
matters, such as tax and estate planning, and insurance on a separate and additional fee basis per the terms
and conditions of a Financial Planning Agreement or a Limited Consulting Agreement.
Please Note: We do not serve as an attorney, accountant, or insurance agent, and no portion of our
services should be construed as such. Accordingly, we do not prepare estate planning documents or
tax returns, nor do we sell insurance products. To the extent requested by a client, we may
recommend the services of other professionals for certain non-investment implementation purpose
(e.g. attorneys, accountants, insurance brokers). The client is under no obligation to engage the
services of any such recommended professional. The client retains absolute discretion over all such
implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from Cypress Point
and/or its representatives. Please Also Note: If the client engages any recommended unaffiliated
professional, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such engagement, the client agrees to seek
recourse exclusively from and against the engaged professional. At all times, the engaged licensed
professional[s] (i.e., attorney, accountant, insurance agent, etc.), and not Cypress Point, shall be
responsible for the quality and competency of the services provided.

Please Note - Use of Mutual and Exchange Traded Funds: Most mutual funds and exchange traded
funds are available directly to the public. Thus, a prospective client can obtain many of the funds that
may be utilized by Cypress Point independent of engaging Cypress Point as an investment advisor.
However, if a prospective client determines to do so, he/she will not receive Cypress Point’s initial and
ongoing investment advisory services.
Please Note - Use of DFA Mutual Funds: Cypress Point utilizes mutual funds issued by
Dimensional Fund Advisors (“DFA”). DFA funds are generally only available through
registered investment advisers approved by DFA. Thus, if the client were to terminate
Cypress Point’s services, and transition to another adviser who has not been approved by
DFA to utilize DFA funds, restrictions regarding additional purchases of, or reallocation
among other DFA funds, will generally apply. Please Also Note: In addition to Cypress Point’s
investment advisory fee and transaction and/or custodial fees discussed below, clients will
also incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange traded fund purchases, charges imposed
at the fund level (e.g., management fees and other fund expenses). ANY QUESTIONS:
Cypress Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address any
questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above. The Chief
Compliance Officer can be contacted at the following email address: sboyd@cypress-
wealth.com.
Section 5: Fees and Compensation
NOTE: Cypress Point neither requires, nor accepts, pre-payments for fees over $1,200 six months or more in
advance.
Family Office Services Fees
The scope of services to be provided is outlined in a Limited Consulting Agreement. The fee for these services
is charged on a quarterly basis in advance, at a rate based on our estimated involvement and the complexity of
services. These fees are negotiable. Cypress Point does not maintain an account or fee minimum.
Please Note: As a result of the above, similarly situated clients could pay different fees. In addition,
similar advisory services may be available from other investment advisers for similar or lower fees.
ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address
any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding advisory fees. The Chief
Compliance Officer may be contacted at the following email address: sboyd@cypress-wealth.com.
Financial Planning Fees
Because each client’s requirements for financial planning vary in terms of complexity and financial position, our
fees can vary significantly. Planning fees are proposed by Cypress Point after an initial client meeting. The scope
of financial planning services to be completed along with the total fee is outlined in either a Financial Planning
& Consulting Agreement or a Limited Consulting Agreement, as applicable. Under the Financial Planning &
Consulting Agreement, one-half of the fee is due at the onset of the planning process and the remainder is due
upon presentation of the final plan recommendations. Under the terms of the Limited Consulting Agreement,
the fees are charged quarterly in advance as long as the agreement remains in place. This fee is in addition to
investment management fees. Clients will pay us if they engage us to provide investment advisory services.

Cypress Point establishes all new client relationships’ investment management fees at an annual rate based on
the amount of the client’s total assets under management (see table below).
Portfolio Value
First $1,000,000
Next $1,000,000
Annual Rate
0.90%
0.80%
Next $3,000,000
0.70%
Next $5,000,000
0.60%
Over $10,000,000
0.50%
Fees are calculated on a cumulative basis. For example, a client with $3,600,000 under management would pay
an annualized rate of 0.90% on $1,000,000, 0.80% on $1,000,000 and 0.70% on $1,600,000. Fees are calculated
based on the portfolio valuation as determined by the account custodian or third-party administrator at the
close of market on the last business day of each quarter. See additional disclosure at Section 7 regarding
advisory fees.
Your investment management fee schedule is determined prior to any investment management fees being
incurred and is outlined on Exhibit B of your signed Investment Advisory Agreement. Any changes to your fee
schedule must be amended in writing on an updated Exhibit B. Fees are negotiable.
Billing and Collecting Investment Management Fees
Fees are charged quarterly and generally payable in advance of the quarter. Fees for the initial quarter are paid
in full upon the funding of each billable account. If we begin our relationship mid-quarter, we reserve the right
to bill pro rata for the remaining time in that quarter. Clients may elect to have fees either directly deducted
from their portfolio accounts or paid from a separate, non-managed account via a direct billing statement.
Please refer to Section 15 – Custody for further information on our ability to deduct fees directly from client
accounts.
Please Note: Unless expressly indicated to the contrary, in writing, it is Cypress Point’s policy to treat intra-
quarter account additions and withdrawals for existing clients equally. Cypress Point does not charge or
reimburse on intra-quarter additions or withdrawals.
Termination of Advisory Relationship and Refund of Prepaid Fees
The Investment Advisory Agreement, Financial Planning Services Agreement, and Limited Consulting
Agreement are effective until terminated by either party upon delivery of written notice. At the date of
termination, any prepaid and unearned fees will be refunded to the client on a pro rata basis. Upon request,
we will also provide an accounting on a year-to-date basis in the event you terminate our investment advisory
services during a quarter.
Additional Fees
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 13 of 33
Our investment management fee is separate from any transaction, exchange, wire transfer, margin interest or
account fee charged by your qualified custodian. Some custodians may charge a transaction fee on certain
mutual funds so that you may be paying more to purchase or sell these funds than if we went directly to these
fund families on your behalf.
To the extent that your assets are invested in mutual funds (including money markets) and exchange traded
funds (also known as ETFs), our fee for monitoring those assets is in addition to the fees charged by those fund
companies. Even a “no load” or “load waived” mutual fund charges an internal fee to compensate the manager
of the fund and to pay for the fund company’s administrative expenses.
Please refer to each fund’s prospectus for a detailed discussion of the fees and expenses charged by the fund
company. Your custodian provides prospectuses to you free of charge and will mail or email those to you at
your physical or email address.
Compensation for the Sale of Securities
We do not receive commissions on the sale or purchase of any securities. For further information, please refer
to Section 12: Brokerage Practices.
Margin Accounts: Risks/Conflict of Interest. Cypress Point does not recommend the use of margin
for investment purposes. A margin account is a brokerage account that allows investors to borrow
money to buy securities and/or for other non-investment borrowing purposes. The broker/custodian
charges the investor interest for the right to borrow money and uses the securities as collateral. By
using borrowed funds, the customer is employing leverage that will magnify both account gains and
losses. Should a client determine to use margin, Cypress Point will include the entire market value of
the margined assets when computing its advisory fee. Accordingly, Cypress Point’s fee shall be based
upon a higher margined account value, resulting in Cypress Point earning a correspondingly higher
advisory fee. As a result, the potential of conflict of interest arises since Cypress Point may have an
economic disincentive to recommend that the client terminate the use of margin. Please Note: The
use of margin can cause significant adverse financial consequences in the event of a market
correction. ANY QUESTIONS: Our Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address
any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the use of margin.
Wrap Fee Programs
Some firms bundle investment management, research, brokerage, and custodial services and charge a single
fee known as a wrap fee. Cypress Point does not participate in wrap fee programs as a sponsor or as an
advisor/sub-advisor.
Section 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Cypress Point does not use a performance-based fee structure. Our investment management fees are based on
assets under management or included as part of a retainer fee arrangement under a Limited Consulting
Agreement.
Side-by-side management occurs when an advisor manages multiple accounts with many different structures
(example: registered fund, hedge funds, institutional accounts, etc.). Cypress Point does not engage in any side-
by-side management in its course of business.
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC

Page 14 of 33
Section 7: Types of Clients
We provide portfolio management services primarily to high-net-worth individuals and families, including trusts
and corporate entities related to those individuals and families. These client relationships vary in scope and
length of service.
Account Minimums
Cypress Point does not impose account minimums.
Fee Dispersion. Cypress Point, in its discretion, may charge a lesser investment advisory fee, charge
a flat fee, waive its fee entirely, or charge fee on a different interval, based upon certain criteria (i.e.
anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to
be managed, related accounts, account composition, complexity of the engagement, anticipated
services to be rendered, grandfathered fee schedules, employees and family members, courtesy
accounts, competition, negotiations with client, etc.). Please Note: As result of the above, similarly
situated clients could pay different fees. In addition, similar advisory services may be available from
other investment advisers for similar or lower fees. ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief
Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address any questions that a client or
prospective client may have regarding advisory fees.
Section 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
General Risk of Loss Statement
Prior to entering into any investment, you should carefully consider the following:
Investing in securities involves risk of loss, which you should be prepared to bear.
1.
2. Securities markets experience varying degrees of volatility.
3. Over time, the value of your assets may fluctuate and at any time be worth more or less than the
amount you originally invested.
4. You should invest only those assets that you believe you will not need for current purposes and
that can be invested on a long-term basis, usually a minimum of seven years.
5. Mutual funds and ETFs are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government
agency.
6. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance, although it may help you
assess a fund's volatility over time.
7. All mutual funds and ETFs have costs that lower your investment returns.
Philosophy of Investing
One way that we manage risk is by determining an appropriate asset allocation (i.e. the balance between
stocks, bonds, cash and alternative investments) based on your goals, objectives, time horizon and risk
tolerance, and then diversifying the holdings in your portfolio based on that allocation. We typically achieve
diversification through a variety of mutual funds and ETFs. We may include some investments that are volatile
because they have the potential to increase dramatically in value and outpace inflation. This is intended to
preserve the purchasing power of your portfolio. Volatile investments are offset by other more stable
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 15 of 33
investments.
We consider a fund’s annual expense ratios when deciding whether to buy it or buy a comparable security
within its respective peer group, but it is not the only factor we consider. Other selection criteria include style,
consistency of adherence to style, management tenure, historical performance, and consistency of historical
performance.

websites: http://www.sec.gov/investor and http://www.finra.org/Investors/index.htm.
Frequently Used Investment Vehicles
Mutual Funds: A mutual fund is an investment company that pools money from many investors to invest in
stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, other securities or assets, or some combination of
these underlying investments. Each mutual fund share represents an investor’s proportionate ownership of
the fund’s holdings and the income generated by those holdings. The price that investors pay for mutual fund
shares is based on the fund’s net asset value (NAV) at the end of the trading day plus any shareholder fees
that the fund imposes at the time of purchase (such as sales loads). Most mutual funds fall into one of three
main categories—money market funds, bond (fixed income) funds, and stock (equity) funds. Each has different
strategies, features, risks and rewards. As with any investment, the higher the potential return, generally the
higher the risk of loss.
Money Market Funds: Money market funds have relatively low risks compared to other mutual funds
(and most other investments). By law, they can invest in only certain high-quality, short-term
investments such as those issued by the U.S. Government, U.S. corporations, and state and local
governments. Money market funds try to keep their net asset value at a stable $1.00 per share.
However, the NAV may fall below $1.00 if the fund’s investments perform poorly. Investor losses have
been rare, but they are possible. Money market funds pay dividends that generally reflect short-term
interest rates. Historically, the returns for money market funds have been lower than returns on bond
or stock funds. Some of the risks associated with money market funds include the following:
Inflation risk – Inflation may outpace the return on your investment. If that happens, the value
of your money in terms of what you can purchase with it will be less than your initial
investment.
Bond Funds: Bond funds generally have higher risks than money market funds, largely because they
typically pursue strategies aimed at producing higher yields. Unlike money market funds, the SEC’s
rules do not restrict bond funds to high quality or short-term investments. Because there are many
different types of bonds, bond funds can vary dramatically in their risks and rewards. Some of the risks
associated with bond funds include the following:
Credit risk – A bond is essentially a loan. As with any loan, there is a risk that the borrower will
be unable to repay the loan. For corporate bonds, the “borrower” is the corporation. For
municipal bonds, the “borrower” is typically the city, county or state government.
Interest rate risk – Current interest rates can affect the current price of your bond investments
because interest rates and bond prices have an inverse relationship. When interest rates rise,
bond prices fall and vice versa.
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 16 of 33
Prepayment or reinvestment risk – Bonds are often referred to as “fixed income” because
most of them pay you a fixed interest rate for the entire term of the loan regardless of current
interest rates. Some bonds are callable; meaning that the principal can be repaid early. This
usually happens when current interest rates are much lower than the interest rate on the
bond. If your principal is repaid when interest rates are low, you will not be able to reinvest
that money at the same rate as your old bond.
Stock Funds: Although a stock fund’s value can rise and fall quickly (and dramatically) over the short
term, historically stocks have performed better over the long term than other types of investments —
including corporate bonds, government bonds, and treasury securities. Overall “market risk” poses
the greatest potential danger for investors in stocks funds. Stock prices can fluctuate for a broad range
of reasons—such as the overall strength of the economy or demand for particular products or services.
Even interest rates can affect stock prices. In general, when stock prices are up, bonds are down. When
bond prices are up, stocks are down. Analysts call this relationship “negative correlation”.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): An ETF is similar to a mutual fund as both invest in a basket of underlying
securities. Unlike traditional mutual funds, which can only be redeemed at the end of a trading day, ETFs trade
throughout the day on an exchange. Like stock mutual funds, ETF prices may be affected by the prices of the
underlying securities and the overall market. ETF prices that track a particular sector may be affected by factors
affecting that particular industry segment.
Note: Tax Consequences of Funds - When investors buy and hold an individual stock or bond, the investor
must pay income tax each year on the dividends or interest the investor receives. However, the investor will
not have to pay any capital gains tax until the investor sells and unless the investor makes a profit. Mutual
funds are different. When an investor buys and holds mutual fund shares, the investor will owe income tax
on any ordinary dividends in the year the investor receives or reinvests them. In addition to owing taxes on
any personal capital gains when the investor sells shares, the investor may also have to pay taxes each year
on the fund’s capital gains because the law requires mutual funds to distribute capital gains to shareholders
if they sell securities for a profit that cannot be offset by a loss.
Municipal Bonds: Municipal bonds are securities issued by local governments and agencies usually to finance
public projects such as roads, schools, hospitals, water infrastructure, and stadiums. The debt holder
generally receives interest payments while the bond is in existence. When the bond’s duration comes to an
end -- this is called “maturity” – the borrowing entity then repays the principal amount of the bond. The
interest paid on municipal bonds is frequently free of state or federal income tax for residents of the issuer’s
state, but you should consult with your tax advisor for specifics about your own situation. There are many
risks associated with buying individual bonds and groups of bonds called bond funds.
Alternative Investments: An alternative investment is an investment product other than traditional stocks,
bonds and cash. In general, alternative investments can include tangible assets (things you can touch like art,
wine, antiques, coins, or stamps). It can also include certain financial assets like commodities, private equities,
hedge funds, venture capital, and financial derivatives. Many of these investments carry a high degree of risk.
They may be relatively illiquid and require extensive analysis before purchasing. So how do these seemingly
very risky investments fit into Cypress Point’s underlying philosophy of preserving your wealth and purchasing
power? Quite simply they have a low correlation to traditional stocks and bonds. In other words, as stocks
and bonds fluctuate like opposing ends of a teeter-totter, with the bond end relatively stable and the stock
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 17 of 33
end moving farther and faster, alternative investments “do their own thing”. When used in moderation, we
believe alternative investments may lower the overall risk of your portfolio.
Other Types of Investments We Have Recommended
Variable Universal Life: The firm may recommend variable universal life insurance policies such as those sold
by TIAA-CREF, which offers advisor class shares. The client authorizes Cypress Point to act as the investment
advisor on the TIAA-CREF policy, and the client agrees to pay an advisory fee directly to Cypress Point as
described in the investment advisory agreement.
Hedge Funds: Cypress Point may recommend that certain qualified and accredited clients participate in hedge
fund products. In addition, some of our family office clients participate in other hedge funds that are not
suitable for our investment advisory clients and/or whose minimum investments are too high for our
investment advisory clients to consider.
Interval Funds/Risks and Limitations: Where appropriate, Cypress Point may utilize interval funds (and other
types of securities that could pose additional risks, including lack of liquidity and restrictions on
withdrawals). An interval fund is a non-traditional type of closed-end mutual fund that periodically offers to
buy back a percentage of outstanding shares from shareholders. Investments in an interval fund involve
additional risk, including lack of liquidity and restrictions on withdrawals. During any time periods outside of
the specified repurchase offer window(s), investors will be unable to sell their shares of the interval fund.
There is no assurance that an investor will be able to tender shares when or in the amount desired. There
can also be situations where an interval fund has a limited amount of capacity to repurchase shares, and may
not be able to fulfill all purchase orders. In addition, the eventual sale price for the interval fund could be less
than the interval fund value on the date that the sale was requested. While an interval fund periodically
offers to repurchase a portion of its securities, there is no guarantee that investors may sell their shares at
any given time or in the desired amount. As interval funds can expose investors to liquidity risk, investors
should consider interval fund shares to be an illiquid investment. Typically, the interval funds are not listed
on any securities exchange and are not publicly traded. Thus, there is no secondary market for the fund’s
shares. Because these types of investments involve certain additional risk, these funds will only be utilized
when consistent with a client’s investment objectives, individual situation, suitability, tolerance for risk and
liquidity needs. Investment should be avoided where an investor has a short-term investing horizon and/or
cannot bear the loss of some, or all, of the investment. There can be no assurance that an interval fund
investment will prove profitable or successful. In light of these enhanced risks, a client may direct Cypress
Point, in writing, not to purchase interval funds for the client’s account.
Options: When requested by a client, Cypress Point may engage in options transactions (or engage an
independent investment manager to do so) for the purpose of hedging risk and/or generating portfolio
income. The use of options transactions as an investment strategy can involve a high level of inherent risk.
Option transactions establish a contract between two parties concerning the buying or selling of an asset at
a predetermined price during a specific period. During the term of the option contract, the buyer of the
option gains the right to demand fulfillment by the seller. Fulfillment may take the form of either selling or
purchasing a security, depending upon the nature of the option contract. Generally, the purchase or sale of
an option contract shall be with the intent of “hedging” a potential market risk in a client’s portfolio and/or
generating income for a client’s portfolio. Please Note: Certain options-related strategies (i.e., straddles,
short positions, etc.), may, in and of themselves, produce principal volatility and/or risk. Thus, a client must
be willing to accept these enhanced volatility and principal risks associated with such strategies. In light of
these enhanced risks, client may direct Registrant, in writing, not to employ any or all such strategies for
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 18 of 33
his/her/their/its accounts. Please Also Note: There can be no guarantee that an options strategy will
achieve its objective or prove successful. No client is under any obligation to enter any option transactions.
However, if the client does so, he/she must be prepared to accept the potential for unintended or
undesired consequences (i.e., losing ownership of the security, incurring capital gains taxes).
Options Strategies:
Covered Call Writing.
Covered call writing is the sale of in-, at-, or out-of-the-money call options against a long security
position held in a client portfolio. This type of transaction is intended to generate income. It also
serves to create partial downside protection in the event the security position declines in value.
Income is received from the proceeds of the option sale. Such income may be reduced or lost to
the extent it is determined to buy back the option position before its expiration. There can be no
assurance that the security will not be called away by the option buyer, which will result in the
client (option writer) to lose ownership in the security and incur potential unintended tax
consequences. Covered call strategies are generally better suited for positions with lower price
volatility.
Long Put Option Purchases.
Long put option purchases allow the option holder to sell or “put” the underlying security at the
contract strike price at a future date. If the price of the underlying security declines in value, the
value of the long put option can increase in value depending upon the strike price and expiration.
Long puts are often used to hedge a long stock position to protect against downside risk. The
security/portfolio could still experience losses depending on the quantity of the puts bought, strike
price and expiration. In the event that the security is put to the option holder, it will result in the
client (option seller) to lose ownership in the security and to incur potential unintended tax
consequences. Options are wasting assets and expire (usually within months of issuance).
ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address any
questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding options.
Private Equity, Venture Capital Funds and Limited Partnerships: Some of our clients frequently invest in
private equity and private equity funds. Private equity is an asset class consisting of equity and debt in
operating companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange. Some of our clients also frequently
invest in venture capital or venture capital funds. This includes what is commonly referred to as “angel
investing.” Companies raising money through this method begin with a seed round (usually convertible debt)
and progress through a series of equity rounds of fund raising. The ultimate goal of this type of investment is
for the company to sell successfully to another company or to take their shares public in an initial public
offering.
Historically, our clients have largely sourced illiquid investment opportunities on their own. However, a client
who is himself a minority owner in Cypress Point launched a venture capital fund in 2015. This same individual
had previously created special purpose vehicles in prior years to make direct investments into individual
companies, and in many instances a handful of our clients who knew the individual participated in those
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 19 of 33
single, one-off investments. We were not paid a solicitor’s fee; nor did we choose to charge an investment
advisory fee to our clients on these investments. This same client and 18% minority investor in Cypress Point
has raised other venture funds subsequent to 2015 along with a co-founder who is also a Cypress Point client.
Although many of our clients decided to invest in these funds, Cypress Point will not be paid a solicitor’s fee
from the private funds, nor will we charge clients an investment advisory fee on their investment in the funds.
However, Cypress Point has a conflict of interest as discussed at greater length in Section 4 above and the
end of this section in that the two principals of these funds will benefit from collecting fees from our clients
who chose to invest.
We have another client who started a venture fund in 2018 and additional funds subsequent to that. This
client is not affiliated with Cypress Point except as a client himself; however, the same conflicts discussed in
the immediately preceding paragraph are applicable in this instance – namely, that our fund-owner client
will benefit from collecting fees from our clients who choose to invest in his funds. Additionally, this client
has offered Cypress Point a share of the carried interest in some of his funds which creates a conflict of
interest. Cypress Point will not be paid a solicitor’s fee for an investment made in this client’s funds, nor will
we charge clients an investment advisory fee on their investment in these funds.
With the exception of our minority owner’s venture capital funds, our other client’s private venture funds,
and a small number of other unaffiliated investments, these types of illiquid investment opportunities are
usually brought to Cypress Point by our clients. In these instances, our role is to coordinate documents and
assist the client with wiring funds. In certain instances, we may be asked to “sit at the table” with the client
during the due diligence process or even take the initial meeting as part of a screening process. Although the
clients who bring these opportunities to our attention can evaluate this high-risk class of investments without
our assistance, they often request our participation in their investment process.
Risk Disclosure: Alternative investment products, including real estate investments, hedge funds and
venture capital, involve a high degree of risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative
investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, may not be
required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax
structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same
regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees that which may offset any trading
profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the
investment manager.
Alternative investment performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial
amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment fund managers have total trading
authority over their funds or accounts. The use of a single manager could mean a lack of
diversification and, consequently, higher risk.
There is often no secondary market for an investor’s interest in alternative investments and there
is little prospect for one to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in any
alternative investment. Some alternative investment products execute a substantial portion of their
trades on non- U.S. exchanges. Investing in foreign markets may entail risks that differ from those
associated with investments in U.S. markets. Additionally, alternative investments can entail
commodity trading, which involves a substantial risk of loss.
Please Note: Conflict of Interest: As indicated above in Section 4, an 18% owner of Cypress Point is
the general partner of, or is affiliated with the general partner of, private investment funds to which
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 20 of 33
clients have been, and potentially will be, introduced. In addition to being an 18% Cypress Point
owner, such individual is also a Cypress Point investment advisory client, and a source of Cypress
Point prospective client introductions, thereby creating a conflict of interest relative to Cypress
Point’s introduction of any such affiliated fund to its clients. Cypress Point has an economic
incentive to introduce the fund to its clients (i.e., as result of the introduction, Cypress Point will
assist an individual owner, client, and referral source from whom it currently earns, and anticipates
it will continue to earn, investment advisory fees, and receives, and anticipates it will continue to
receive, prospective new client introductions). Cypress Point shall not include the amount that a
client invests in any such affiliated such for the purpose of determining the client’s investment
advisory fee per Section 5 above. Cypress Point’s clients are under absolutely no obligation to
consider or make an investment in any private investment fund(s) affiliated with such 18% owner.
Section 9: Disciplinary Information
Neither Cypress Point nor any of our employees has had any civil or criminal actions brought against them for
professional services provided, and neither Cypress Point nor any of its employees has had any proceedings
before the SEC or any other federal, state, or foreign financial regulatory agencies or authorities. In addition,
neither Cypress Point, nor any of its employees, has been involved in any proceedings before a self-regulatory
organization.
Section 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
We do not receive fees or commissions from any other companies – financial services, insurance or
otherwise. The only fees we receive are those paid directly from our clients.
Manager or Officer to LLCs. Jimmy Kull serves as manager or officer to several LLCs created by a client that
make investments in various funds and private companies for that client’s benefit.
Investment Adviser to Affiliated Fund. We currently serve as the investment adviser to an affiliated entity,
Cypress LGC SPV, LLC (“LGC”), noted in Section 4 above, which in turn serves as the general partner to an
investment fund created by a client that has other Cypress Point clients as investors (the “Fund”). Cypress
Point does not receive an advisory fee for its services, but the affiliated entity is compensated by the Fund
for performing its management responsibilities. Given the above discussion relative to the objectives,
suitability, risk factors, and qualifications for participation in the Fund, we may give advice or take action
with respect to the Fund that differs from that which we would give/take for individual client accounts. The
Fund was created by a client for the purchase of shares of stock in a privately held, venture-backed
technology company. The Fund engaged LGC (which, in turn, engaged Cypress Point) in a managerial
capacity after the investment had been made, and its primary responsibility is to oversee the preparation
of audited financial statements while awaiting some kind of liquidity to materialize for the shareholders in
this private technology company.
Please Note: We do not charge individual clients a direct investment advisory fee on assets allocated to the
Funds. However, clients incur administrative fees at the Fund-level.

Section 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading
Cypress Point adopted a Code of Ethics for all employees, and it is available to any client or prospective
client upon request. Our Code of Ethics describes our standard of business conduct and fiduciary duty to
our clients. This Code includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition
on insider trading, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts, and personal securities trading
procedures among other things. All employees must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually.
Cypress Point employees may buy, sell, or hold the same securities in their personal accounts that we
recommend to, and purchase for, our clients. The Code is designed to assure that our employees’ personal
securities transactions will not interfere with our responsibility to make decisions in the best interest of our
advisory clients. It also guides how we implement those investment decisions, while also allowing
employees to invest for their own personal portfolios.
Our Code of Ethics requires pre-clearance of private placements and initial public offerings. Nonetheless,
because in some circumstances our Code would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients,
there is a possibility that employees might benefit from a client’s market activity where the employee holds
the same security as a client. This creates a potential conflict of interest. We monitor employee trading to
prevent conflicts of interest between ourselves and our clients.
As disclosed above, Cypress Point has a financial interest in the affiliated private funds. Cypress Point, on
both a discretionary and a non-discretionary basis, manages certain client accounts that are invested in the
affiliated private funds. The terms and conditions for participation in the affiliated private funds, including
management fees, conflicts of interest, and risk factors, are set forth in the fund’s offering documents.
Cypress Point’s clients are under absolutely no obligation to consider or make an investment in a private
investment fund(s) or to maintain such an investment. Cypress Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd,
remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above
arrangement and any corresponding perceived conflict of interest that such arrangement may create.
Section 12: Brokerage Practices
In the event that the client requests that Cypress Point recommend a broker-dealer/custodian for execution
and/or custodial services, Cypress Point generally recommends that investment advisory accounts be
maintained at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) and/or Fidelity. Prior to engaging Cypress Point to
provide investment management services, the client will be required to enter into a formal Investment
Advisory Agreement with Cypress Point setting forth the terms and conditions under which Cypress Point
shall advise on the client's assets and a separate custodial/clearing agreement with each designated broker-
dealer/custodian.
Factors that Cypress Point considers in recommending Schwab and/or Fidelity (or any other broker-
dealer/custodian to clients) include the historical relationship with Cypress Point, financial strength,
reputation, execution capabilities, pricing, research, and service. Although the transaction fees paid by
Cypress Point’s clients shall comply with Cypress Point’s duty to obtain best execution, a client may pay a
transaction fee that is higher than another qualified broker-dealer might charge to effect the same
transaction where Cypress Point determines, in good faith, that the transaction fee is reasonable. In seeking
best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost but whether the transaction
Cypress Point Wealth Management, LLC
Form ADV– Disclosure Brochure
Page 22 of 33
represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s
services,
including the value of research provided, execution capability, transaction rates, and
responsiveness. Accordingly, although Cypress Point will seek competitive rates, it may not necessarily obtain
the lowest possible rates for client account transactions.
Non-Soft Dollar Research and Benefits: Although not a material consideration when determining whether
to recommend that a client utilize the services of a particular broker-dealer/custodian, Cypress Point can
receive from Schwab and/or Fidelity (or another broker-dealer/custodian, investment manager, platform or
fund sponsor, or vendor) without cost (and/or at a discount) support services and/or products, certain of
which assist Cypress Point to better monitor and service client accounts maintained at such institutions.
Services that benefit you. Brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available through
Schwab and/or Fidelity include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a
significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Services described in this paragraph generally
benefit you and your account.
Services that may not directly benefit you. Schwab and/or Fidelity also make available to us other products
and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services
assist us in managing and administering our clients' accounts. They include investment research, both the
broker’s own and that of third parties. We may use this research to service all or a substantial number of our
clients' accounts, including accounts not maintained at that broker. In addition to investment research,
brokers also make available software and other technology that:
• Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements)
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts
• Provide pricing and other market data

Cypress Point’s clients do not pay more for investment transactions effected and/or assets maintained at

Cypress Point to Schwab and/or Fidelity or any other any entity, to invest any specific amount or percentage
of client assets in any specific mutual funds, securities, or other investment products as result of the above
arrangements.
ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address any

questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above arrangements and the
corresponding conflicts of interest presented by such arrangements. The Chief Compliance Officer can be
contacted at the following email address: sboyd@cypress-wealth.com.
Directed Brokerage. Cypress Point recommends that its clients utilize the brokerage and custodial services
provided by Schwab and/or Fidelity. Cypress Point generally does not accept directed brokerage
arrangements (when a client requires that account transactions be affected through a specific broker-dealer).
In such client directed arrangements, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for their account with
that broker-dealer, and Cypress Point will not seek better execution services or prices from other broker-
dealers or be able to "batch" the client’s transactions for execution through other broker-dealers with orders
for other accounts managed by Cypress Point. As a result, a client may pay higher commissions or other
transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than
would otherwise be the case. Please Note: In the event that the client directs Cypress Point to effect
securities transactions for the client’s accounts through a specific broker-dealer, the client correspondingly
acknowledges that such direction may cause the accounts to incur higher commissions or transaction costs
than the accounts would otherwise incur had the client determined to effect account transactions through
alternative clearing arrangements that may be available through Cypress Point. Higher transaction costs
adversely impact account performance. Please Also Note: Transactions for directed accounts will generally
be executed following the execution of portfolio transactions for non-directed accounts.
Order Aggregation. Transactions for each client account generally will be affected independently unless
Cypress Point decides to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same
time. Firm may (but is not obligated to) combine or “bunch” such orders to obtain best execution, to
negotiate more favorable commission rates or to allocate equitably among Cypress Point’s clients any
differences in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might have been obtained had such
orders been placed independently. Under this procedure, transactions will be averaged as to price and will
be allocated among clients in proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account on
any given day. Cypress Point shall not receive any additional compensation or remuneration as a result of
such aggregation.
Section 13: Review of Accounts
In his role as Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd conducts sample reviews of managed accounts periodically.
In addition, Jimmy Kull, Brandon Ratzlaff, Jennifer Cook, and Carson Wright in their capacity as client
relationship managers, have direct responsibility for client service. All clients are encouraged to meet with
the firm at least annually. Additional reviews may be triggered by events such as a client meeting, change in
a client's risk tolerance, financial position, or investment objective, change in a company or fund's
management, unusual market or economic circumstances, or other unforeseen events.
You are encouraged to keep us informed about any changes in your financial situation so that we may take
appropriate action.
For financial planning services, at least one client relationship manager reviews all financial planning client
analyses and recommendations. Reviews are based on a confirmation of clients' objectives and the
appropriateness of recommendations to the achievement of those objectives. Periodic subsequent reviews
are conducted on an "as needed" basis.

Section 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
As indicated at Section 12 above, Cypress Point can receive from Schwab and/or Fidelity without cost (and/or
at a discount), support services and/or products. Cypress Point’s clients do not pay more for investment
transactions affected and/or assets maintained at Schwab and/or Fidelity as result of this arrangement. There
is no corresponding commitment made by Cypress Point to Schwab and/or Fidelity, or to any other entity, to
invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual funds, securities, or other
investment products as a result of the above arrangement. ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief
Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client
may have regarding the above arrangements and the corresponding conflict of interest presented by such
arrangements. The Chief Compliance Officer may be contacted at the following email address:

Cypress Point does not compensate individuals or entities for prospective client introductions.
Section 15: Custody
Cypress Point shall have the ability to deduct its advisory fee from the client’s custodial account on a quarterly
basis. Clients are provided with written transaction confirmation notices, and a written summary account
statement directly from the custodian (i.e., Schwab and/or Fidelity, etc.) at least quarterly. Please Note: To
the extent that Cypress Point provides clients with periodic account statements or reports, the client is urged
to compare any statement or report provided by Cypress Point with the account statements received from
the account custodian. Please Also Note: The account custodian does not verify the accuracy of Cypress
Point’s advisory fee calculation.
Cypress Point engages in other practices and/or services on behalf of its clients that require disclosure at the
Custody section of Part 1 of Form ADV, certain of which practices and/or services are subject to an annual
surprise CPA examination in accordance with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940. ANY QUESTIONS: Cypress Point’s Chief Compliance Officer, Scott Boyd, remains
available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding custody-related
issues. The Chief Compliance Officer may be contacted at the following email address: sboyd@cypress-
wealth.com.
Section 16: Investment Discretion
Our investment advisory agreement provides that you grant complete investment discretion to Cypress Point.
This limited power of attorney allows us to determine both the securities purchased and sold and the
amounts of those purchases and sales. You may limit or restrict our discretion in writing. Typical restrictions
a client may place on us may be to hold a stock or fund they have historically held and do not want to sell
either because of tax implications or emotional attachment to the investment or the circumstance under
which they acquired the investment (e.g., inheritance).

Section 17: Voting Client Securities
In accordance with our policies and procedures, Cypress Point does not have any authority to, and does not,
vote proxies on behalf of advisory clients. You retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for
any and all securities maintained in your portfolio. If you do not understand what you are being asked to vote
on, we will discuss the issues with you at your request to allow you to make an informed investment decision.
Section 18: Financial Information
No financial conditions exist that are reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments
to clients. Since we do not require our clients to prepay their management fees six months or more in
advance, we are not required to provide audited financial statements.
Section 19: Requirements for State-Registered Advisors
Not applicable.
