FIRM INFORMATION
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC (“Halcyon,” “we,” “us,” “our”), a limited liability company formed in January
2014, is a registered investment advisory firm located in Dallas, Texas. We have been a registered
investment advisory firm since February 2014.
PRINCIPAL OWNERS
Halcyon is owned and controlled by Jeff Parkhurst, its Chief Compliance Officer.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES
Asset Management Services:
We provide asset management services in which we manage your custodial accounts and provide you
with continuous and ongoing supervision of your custodial accounts. Our services provide additional
investment opportunities among stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Real Estate
Investment Trusts (REITs), options, and additional securities.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services:
We provide various financial planning and consulting services that find ways to help you understand your
overall financial situation and help you set financial objectives. We accomplish this by helping you review
your financial goals, tax planning strategies, asset allocation, risk management, retirement planning, and
other areas and objectives. Generally, such financial planning and consulting services will involve
preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation based on your financial goals and
objectives. We will summarize our services to you in a written plan, which will typically include general
recommendations for a course of action or specific actions to be taken by you. Implementation of the
recommendations will be at your discretion. We provide our financial planning and consulting services on
a project basis.
CLIENT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES/RESTRICTIONS
Halcyon offers the same suite of services to all our clients. However, specific client financial plans and
their implementation are dependent upon the individual client’s Investment Policy Statement, which
outlines a client’s current financial situation such as income, net worth and risk tolerance levels. This
information is essential in the development of a client-specific plan in the selection of investments that
matches restrictions, needs, and targets. On a case by case basis, our clients may impose restrictions on
investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if
the restrictions prevent us from properly servicing the client’s account, or if the restrictions would require
us to deviate from our standard suite of services, we reserve the right to end the relationship. We may
request additional information and documentation, such as current investments, tax returns, insurance
policies, and estate plan. We will discuss your investment objectives, needs, and goals, but you must
inform us of any changes. Unless directed by you, we do not independently verify any information
provided to us by you or your attorney, accountant or other professionals.
WRAP FEE PROGRAMS
4
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
Halcyon sponsors a wrap fee program, which is an investment program where the investor pays one stated
fee that includes management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and other administrative fees. A
portion of the fees paid to the wrap account program will be given to Halcyon as a management fee.
Halcyon manages the investments in the wrap fee program and does not offer any non-wrap programs to
clients.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of December 31, 2024, Halcyon manages $186,705,352 on a discretionary basis and $7,283,363 on a
non-discretionary basis.
ITEM 5
Fees and Compensation
ANNUAL FEES FOR ADVISORY SERVICES
Halcyon is compensated for providing asset management services by charging a negotiable fee based on
the total assets under management. The fees and billing will be pre-determined in writing in the
Investment Advisory Agreement executed by you and Halcyon.
The fees charged for financial planning services are negotiable and vary depending on the complexity of
the process undertaken, the types of issues addressed, the scope of services provided, and the frequency
with which the services are rendered. All fees are agreed upon before entering into the Financial Planning
and Consulting Agreement you sign.
The below ranges are the standard fee ranges that are typically charged.

Fixed Fee
$1,500-$7,500
Halcyon may enter into arrangements where performance-based fees are assessed for advisory services.
Performance-based fees are individually negotiated with clients. Adviser’s performance fee may only be
utilized by the following types of clients: (i) A client that is a natural person who or a company that
immediately after entering into an advisory agreement has at least $1,100,000 under the management of
Adviser; (ii) A client that is a natural person who or a company that Adviser reasonably believes,
immediately prior to entering into the advisory agreement, has a net worth (together, in the case of a
natural person, with assets held jointly with a spouse and excluding the value of the clients residence) of
more than $2,200,000 at the time the advisory agreement is entered into, or (iii) a client that is a natural

person who does not meet either definition as outlined above but who shall not be charged a performance
fee based on the status of nonqualified or non-accredited.
Performance Based Fees
Management Fee
Performance Allocation
1.00%
20% of returns exceeding a 5%
net excess return
FEE BILLING & PAYMENT
Our asset management fees are annual fees and may be negotiable. Asset management fees are paid
quarterly in advance. Payments are due on the first day of the calendar quarter. The total fee payable per
quarter is based on the account’s asset value as of the last business day of the prior calendar quarter,
multiplied by the applicable annual rate, divided by 365 days, and multiplied by the number of days in the
quarter. We will deduct our asset management fee only when in receipt of your written authorization by
executing an investment advisory agreement permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account.
The qualified custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly, which will show all
disbursements from your account. We urge you to review all statements for accuracy. Your account at the
custodian may also be charged for certain additional assets managed for you by us but not held by the
custodian (i.e., variable annuities, mutual funds, 401(k)s).
Financial Planning will generally be offered on a fixed fee basis. Fixed fees will be determined on a case
by case basis with the fee based on the complexity of the situation and the needs of the client. The fixed
fee will be agreed upon before the start of any work. The fee is negotiable. The fee is due upon delivery
of the financial plan.
You are responsible for all third-party fees (i.e., custodian fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.).
These fees are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by Halcyon.
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement by providing 30-day advance written
notice. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any
earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable up to and including the effective date of termination.
Notwithstanding the above, if we do not deliver the appropriate disclosure statement to you at least 48
hours prior to you entering into any written or oral advisory contract with us, then you have the right to
terminate the contract without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into the contract.
OTHER EXPENSES AND FEES
The fees discussed above include payment solely for the investment advisory services provided by us and
are separate to certain fees or charges that are imposed by third parties in connection with investments
made on your behalf for your account. Third-party fees may include markdowns, markups, brokerage
commissions, other transaction costs, and/or custodial fees.
6
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
Also, all fees paid to us for asset management services are separate from the expenses charged by
exchange-traded funds and mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses will be used to
pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration, and a possible
distribution fee. Exchanged traded funds and mutual funds can be invested in directly by you without our
services. However, you would not receive our services to assist you in determining which products or
services are most suitable for your financial situation and objectives. You should review both the fees we
charge and the fees charged by the fund(s) to understand the total fees to be paid fully.
Halcyon may pay estate planning and/or tax preparation services on behalf of the client on a case-by-
case basis.
OTHER COMPENSATION
Certain of our associated persons are also licensed insurance agents. In this capacity, the IARs may
recommend insurance, advisory, or other products, and receive normal insurance commissions if products
are purchased through the IAR(s) in this capacity. Thus, a conflict of interest exists between the interests
of these individuals and those of the advisory clients, creating an incentive for the IAR(s) to recommend
products based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. However, clients are under
no obligation to act upon any of these recommendations. Although our recommendations may include
products offered by third parties, these recommendations are not limited to such products as all financial
planning advice provided is of a generic nature. Clients have the option to purchase insurance products
recommended by the IAR through other agents not affiliated with our firm. Please refer to Item 10 of this
Brochure for a more detailed explanation of how our firm handles and mitigates these conflicts of interest.
ITEM 6
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Our Performance Allocation is a performance-based fee which is a fee based on a share of capital gains
on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client. Our performance-based fee schedule is only available
for those that meet the qualified client definition under federal and state securities rules and regulations.
The specific Performance Allocations are outlined above in Item 5.
The negotiable performance-based compensation is calculated as 20% of returns exceeding a 5% net
excess return billed quarterly in arrears. For example, if in a given quarter we achieve total returns of 20%,
then the maximum performance fee assessable would be 50% of the 20% excess return over the hurdle
rate of 5%. If in a given year we achieve a total return equal to or less than the 5% hurdle rate, then no
performance fee shall be assessed.
Receiving a performance-based fee creates an incentive for Halcyon to make investments that are riskier
or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of those performance-based arrangements.
Such fee arrangements could also create an incentive to favor higher fee-paying accounts over other
accounts in the allocation of investment opportunities. However, Halcyon has procedures designed and
implemented to ensure that all clients are treated fairly and equally, and to mitigate this conflict from
influencing the allocation of investment opportunities among clients. We do not charge any fees based
on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client.
ITEM 7

ITEM 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of
Loss
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
We use various methods of analysis and investment strategies, including the following:
Fundamental Analysis – We evaluate economic and financial factors to determine if a security may be
underpriced, overpriced, or fairly priced. This method entails assessing a security by attempting to
determine its intrinsic value by examining related financial, economic, and other qualitative and
quantitative factors. Fundamental analysis requires an in-depth look at all factors that can affect the
security's value, from macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) to
individually specific factors (like the financial situation and management of companies). The overall
objective of performing the fundamental analysis is to determine a value that an investor can use to
determine what sort of position to take with that security. This method of security analysis is contrary to
technical analysis. Fundamental analysis involves using real data to evaluate a security's value. Although
most analysts use fundamental analysis to value stocks, this method of valuation can be used for just
about any type of security.
Quantitative analysis - Deals with measurable factors as distinguished from qualitative considerations
such as the character of management or the state of employee morale, such as the value of assets, the
cost of capital, historical projections of sales, and so on.
Modern Portfolio Theory - Modern portfolio theory (MPT) is a risk-averse theory that involves the
construction of portfolios to maximize and optimize expected return based on a given level of market risk,
emphasizing that risk is an inherent part of higher reward. According to the theory, it's possible to
construct an "efficient frontier" of optimal portfolios offering the maximum possible expected return for
a given level of risk.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
When formulating investment advice or managing client assets, we will use the following investment
strategies. There are inherent risks associated with each of these strategies.
Long-Term Strategy - A long-term strategy may not take advantage of short-term gains or may experience
more volatility over the life of the portfolio.
Your accounts are managed separately with your underlying investment strategies, restrictions, or
investment limitations defined within the investment management agreement.

Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
POTENTIAL RISKS
Investing involves different levels of risk that can result in loss of any profits and/or principal you have not
realized. We manage your account in a manner consistent with your pre-determined risk tolerance and
suitability profile. However, we cannot guarantee that our efforts will be successful. Investing in securities
involves the risk of loss clients should be prepared to bear.
Investing involves the assumption of risk, including:
Financial Risk: which is the risk that the companies we recommend to you perform poorly, which affect
the price of your investment.
Market Risk: which is the risk that the stock market will decline, decreasing the value of the securities we
recommend to you with it.
Inflation Risk: which is the risk that the rate of price increases in the economy deteriorates the returns
associated with the stock.
Political and Governmental Risk: which is the risk that the value of your investment will is affected by the
introduction of new laws or regulations.
Interest Rate Risk: which is the risk that the value of the investments we recommend to you will fall if
interest rates rise.
Call Risk: which is the risk that your investment will be called or purchased back from you when conditions
are favorable to the bond issuer and unfavorable to you.
Default Risk: which is the risk that issuer is unable to pay the contractual interest or principal on the
investment promptly or at all.
Manager Risk: which is the risk that an actively managed mutual fund’s investment adviser will fail to
execute the fund’s stated investment strategy.
Industry Risk: which is the risk that a group of stocks in a single industry will decline in price due to adverse
developments in that industry, decreasing the value of mutual funds that are significantly invested in that
industry.
ITEM 9 Disciplinary Information
As of the date of this brochure, we have not been subject to any disciplinary, legal, or regulatory events
related to past or present investment clients. There has been no disciplinary, legal, or regulatory events
related to us or any of our management persons.

AFFILIATIONS
Certain associates of the firm are also insurance agents licensed to sell insurance products. A conflict of
interest exists in that these services pay a commission which conflicts with the IAR’s fiduciary duties.
Halcyon does not require its IARs to encourage clients to implement investment advice through our
insurance product recommendations. Clients have the right to
insurance product
recommendations through the insurance agency and agent of their choice. We require that all IARs
disclose this conflict of interest when such recommendations are made. We also require IARs to disclose
that the client has the right to purchase recommended products from individuals not affiliated with us.
SELECTION OF OTHER INVESTMENT ADVISERS
We do not recommend or select other investment advisers for our clients.
ITEM 11 Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
CODE OF ETHICS
Halcyon has developed a code of ethics that will apply to all of our supervised persons. Our IARs and we
must act in a fiduciary capacity when providing investment advisory services to you. As a fiduciary, it is an
investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts and to act solely
in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. Halcyon has a fiduciary duty to all clients. This
fiduciary duty is considered the core underlying principle of our code of ethics, which also covers our
insider trading and personal securities transactions policies and procedures. We require all of our
supervised persons to conduct business with the highest level of ethical standards and to comply with all
federal and state securities laws at all times. Upon employment or affiliation and at least annually
thereafter, all supervised persons will acknowledge that they have read, understand and agree to comply
with our Code of Ethics.
Our Code of Ethics is available to clients and prospective clients upon request.
RECOMMENDATIONS INVOLVING A MATERIAL FINANCIAL INTEREST
Neither we nor any related person recommend to clients or buys or sells for clients’ accounts, securities
in which we or a related person has a material financial interest.
PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS
There may be instances where an IAR will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients
the purchase or sale of securities in which an IAR, its affiliates, or other clients may also have a position
or interest. Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an
aggregated basis. Generally, in such circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share execution
costs equally. Completed trade orders will be allocated according to the instructions from the initial trade
order. Partially filled trade orders will be allocated on a pro-rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained in
the trade order.
PERSONAL TRADING
10
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
Employees are permitted to have personal securities accounts as long as personal investing practices are
in line with fiduciary standards and regulatory requirements, and do not conflict with their duty to Halcyon
and our clients. Halcyon monitors and controls personal trading through pre-approval of all personal
securities transactions or blackout periods imposed upon employees trading in the same securities as
Halcyon. We forbid any officer or employee, either personally or on behalf of others, to trade on material,
nonpublic information, or to communicate such information to others in violation of the law.
ITEM 12 Brokerage Practices
We recommend broker-dealers for our clients to use in order to custody their accounts. The firms we
recommend will be independent SEC-registered broker-dealers and members of FINRA and SIPC.
As a fiduciary, we are obligated to seek out the best execution of client transactions for that accounts that
we manage. In general, the execution of securities transactions is at a total cost to process each
transaction and are the most favorable under the circumstances. However, we do not limit the best
execution to the lowest available price. Additional factors are taken into consideration when determining
the arrangement and services in the selection of a broker-dealer or qualified custodian. Our review
consists of reviewing the commission and fee structures of various broker-dealers, research platform, and
execution services. Accordingly, while we do consider competitive rates, we do not necessarily obtain the
lowest possible commission rates for account transactions. Therefore, the overall services provided by
unaffiliated broker-dealers and qualified custodians are evaluated to determine the best execution. You
may pay trade execution charges and higher commissions through the trading platforms approved by us
than through platforms that have not been approved by us.
Advisor participates in the Schwab Advisor Services program. Charles Schwab & Co. (“Schwab”) are
members of FINRA/SIPC. Schwab is independent and unaffiliated SEC-registered broker-dealers. Schwab
offer to independent investment Advisors services, which include custody of securities, trade execution,
clearance, and settlement of transactions.
Advisor receives some benefits from Schwab through its participation in their programs. (Please see the
disclosure under Item 14 below.)
RESEARCH AND OTHER BENEFITS
Products & Services Available to Us from Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services (formerly called Schwab Institutional) is Schwab’s business serving independent
investment advisory firms like ours. They provide us and our clients with access to its institutional
brokerage – trading, custody, reporting, and related services – many of which are not typically available
to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services
help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts, while others help us manage and grow our business.
Schwab’s support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis and at no charge to us as long as
we maintain a total of at least $10 million of our clients’ assets in accounts at Schwab.
Services that Benefit Client
Schwab’s institutional 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 include some to which we might not otherwise have access, or that would require a
11
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this
paragraph generally benefit clients or their account(s).
Services that May Not Directly Benefit Clients
Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit
the client or their account(s). These products and services assist us in managing and administering our
clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may
use this research to service all or some substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts
not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and
other technology that:
• provides access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements);
•
facilitates trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts;
• provides pricing and other market data;
•
facilitates payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and
•
assists with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business
enterprise. These services include:
• educational conferences and events
•
technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting;
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
•
access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers.
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to
provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay
all or a part of a third party’s fees.
Irrespective of direct or indirect benefits to our client through Schwab, we strive to enhance the client’s
experience, help reach their goals and put their interests before that of our firm or its associated
persons.
BROKERAGE FOR CLIENT REFERRALS
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers.
DIRECTED BROKERAGE
Clients will be permitted to select any broker-dealer of their choosing. In these situations, we may be
unable to achieve most favorable execution for client transactions. Directing brokerage may cost clients
more money in that the client may pay higher brokerage commissions because we may not be able to
aggregate orders to reduce transaction costs, or the client may receive less favorable prices.
12
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
TRADE AGGREGATION
We attempt to allocate trade executions in the most equitable manner possible, taking into consideration
current asset allocation and availability of funds using price averaging, proration, and consistently non-
arbitrary methods of allocation. We may aggregate orders in order to obtain best execution, to negotiate
more favorable commission rates or to allocate equitably among our clients’ differences in prices and
commission or other transaction costs. In aggregated orders, transactions will be price-averaged and
allocated among our clients in proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account
on any given day.
ITEM 13 Review of Accounts
PERIODIC REVIEWS
We review asset management, and retirement plan accounts no less than annually. These accounts will
be reviewed by Jeffrey W. Parkhurst. Accounts are reviewed to evaluate asset allocation, investment
strategy and objectives, cash balance, and performance as well as the general economic outlook and
current investment trends.
Project-based financial planning clients are provided a one-time plan or consulting session and receive no
additional reviews unless a new financial planning and consulting agreement is executed.
REVIEW TRIGGERS
We conduct periodic reviews to evaluate current market, economic, and political events and how these
may affect client accounts. Additional reviews may be triggered by these events or by events in the client’s
financial or personal status.
REGULAR REPORTS
Asset management clients will receive advisory account reports no less than quarterly. These reports show
asset value by cash balances, security, unit cost, total cost, current per-share values, etc. Clients are urged
to review the quarterly reports provided by us with those provided by their custodian and notify us of any
differences. Clients are encouraged to phone or email us as often as they deem necessary to receive
information regarding the investment tactics and strategies being followed.
Project-based financial planning and consulting clients are provided a one-time written financial plan
concerning their financial situation. After the presentation of the plan, there are no further reports.
ITEM 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services it makes
available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their accounts a
Schwab. In addition, Schwab have also agreed to pay for certain products and services for which we would
otherwise have to pay once the value of our clients’ assets in accounts at Schwab reaches a certain size.
In some cases, a recipient of such payments is an affiliate of ours or another party which has some
pecuniary, financial or other interests in us (or in which we have such an interest). You do not pay more
for assets maintained at Schwab as a result of these arrangements. However, we benefit from the
arrangement because the cost of these services would otherwise be borne directly by us. You should
13
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
consider these conflicts of interest when selecting a custodian. The products and services provided by
Schwab, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above (see Item 12 –
Brokerage Practices).
We do not pay a referral fee to third party solicitors.
ITEM 15 Custody
We are deemed to have custody of client funds and securities due to our ability to deduct management
fees from clients’ accounts. We will not take physical custody of clients’ funds and will not assign or
transfer trading authorization to another advisor. Clients will receive account statements from the
qualified custodian(s) holding their funds and securities at least quarterly. The custodian’s account
statements will indicate the amount of our advisory fees deducted from the clients’ account(s) each billing
period. These statements should be carefully reviewed by the client for accuracy. Item 5 – Fees and
Compensation has additional information regarding our ability to deduct management fees from clients’
accounts.
ITEM 16
Investment Discretion
DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY FOR TRADING
If you are participating in our asset management services, upon receiving your written authorization via
our executed investment advisory agreement, we will maintain trading authorization over your
designated account and may also implement trades on a discretionary basis.
When discretionary authority is granted, we will have the limited authority to determine the type of
securities to be purchased, sold, or exchanged and a number of securities that can be bought, sold, or
exchanged for your portfolio without obtaining your consent for each transaction.
If you do not grant this limited investment discretion, your IAR will be required to contact you and get
affirmation regarding our investment recommendations, such as the security being recommended, the
number of shares, whether the security should be bought or sold before implementing changes in your
account.
Once the above factors are agreed upon, we will be responsible for making decisions regarding the timing
of buying or selling an investment and the price at which the investment is bought or sold. If your accounts
are managed on a non-discretionary basis, it is critical that you respond promptly. If we do not receive a
response to our request immediately, the timing of trade implementation may lead to an adverse impact
where we may not achieve the optimal trading price.
On a case by case basis, you may place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments that may be
purchased or sold in your account so long as the restrictions are explicitly set forth or included as an
attachment to the investment advisory agreement.
ITEM 17 Voting Client Securities
We do not have the authority to vote proxies as it pertains to the issuers of securities held in your account.
The responsibility for voting your securities places increased liability to us and does not add enough value
14
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
to the services provided to you to justify the additional compliance and regulatory costs associated with
voting your securities.
Therefore, you are responsible for voting all proxies for securities held in accounts managed by us.
Typically, our qualified custodian will forward you your proxy information. Although we do not vote your
proxies, you can contact us if you have a question about a particular proxy.
ITEM 18 Financial Information
We are not required to include a balance sheet for our most recent fiscal year. We are not subject to a
financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to our
clients.
We are currently not in, nor have been historically in a financially precarious situation or the subject of a
bankruptcy petition.

FIRM INFORMATION
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC (“Halcyon,” “we,” “us,” “our”), a limited liability company formed in January
2014, is a registered investment advisory firm located in Dallas, Texas. We have been a registered
investment advisory firm since February 2014.
PRINCIPAL OWNERS
Halcyon is owned and controlled by Jeff Parkhurst, its Chief Compliance Officer.
WRAP FEE PROGRAM
Our Wrap Fee Program is designed to provide ongoing asset management services and investment
execution for one all-inclusive fee. This program enables clients to pursue their investment objectives with
us as a manager all in one consolidated model portfolio. As part of this service, a portfolio is created,
consisting of individual stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds, and other
public securities or investments. Portfolios will be designed to meet a particular investment goal,
determined to be suitable for the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been
determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based
upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Clients’ accounts may be managed on a
discretionary or non-discretionary basis.
Furthermore, we may determine that opening an account with a third-party manager or sub-advisor is in
the client’s best interests. Utilizing a third-party may allow clients to obtain portfolio management
services that typically require higher minimum account sizes outside of the program. The manager
selected will have the discretion to determine the securities they buy and sell within the account, subject
to reasonable restrictions imposed by you. Due to the nature of these programs, each manager is required
to provide clients with a separate disclosure document. Clients should carefully review this document for
important and specific program details, including details on the charges and fees they will incur.
Fee Schedule
We are compensated for providing our Wrap Fee Program by charging an asset management fee. The
asset management fee is based on total assets under management.
The below ranges are the standard fee ranges that are typically charged.
Wrap Fee Program Fee Schedule
Up to $500,000
2.50%
$500,000 - $1,000,000
1.50%
$1,000,000 - and up
1.25%
The fee billing will be pre-determined in writing in the investment advisory agreement that is executed by
you and Halcyon. Wrap Fee Program fees are payable quarterly in advance. Our Wrap Fee Program fees
are annual fees and may be negotiable. Payments are due on the first day of the calendar quarter. The
total fee payable per quarter is based on the account’s asset value as of the last business day of the prior
4
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
calendar quarter, multiplied by the applicable annual rate, divided by 365 days, and multiplied by the
number of days in the quarter. The fee for the subsequent quarter is billed and payable within ten (10)
days after the end of the prior quarter, based on the value your account on the last business day of that
quarter. We will deduct our asset management fee only when in receipt of your written authorization by
executing an investment advisory agreement permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account.
The qualified custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly, which will show all
disbursements from your account. We urge you to review all statements for accuracy.
Halcyon may enter into arrangements where performance-based fees are assessed for advisory services.
Performance-based fees are individually negotiated with clients. Adviser’s performance fee may only be
utilized by the following types of clients: (i) A client that is a natural person who or a company that
immediately after entering into an advisory agreement has at least $1,100,000 under the management of
Adviser; (ii) A client that is a natural person who or a company that Adviser reasonably believes,
immediately prior to entering into the advisory agreement, has a net worth (together, in the case of a
natural person, with assets held jointly with a spouse and excluding the value of the clients residence) of
more than $2,200,000 at the time the advisory agreement is entered into, or (iii) a client that is a natural
person who does not meet either definition as outlined above but who shall not be charged a performance
fee based on the status of nonqualified or non-accredited.
Performance Based Fees
Management Fee
Performance Allocation
1.00%
20% of returns exceeding a 5%
net excess return
When utilizing a third-party manager or sub-adviser, they may receive a portion of the fees described
above.
Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement by providing 30-day advance written
notice. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any
earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable up to and including the effective date of termination.
Notwithstanding the above, if we do not deliver the appropriate disclosure statement to you at least 48
hours prior to you entering into any written or oral advisory contract with us, then you have the right to
terminate the contract without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into the contract.
WRAP FEE PROGRAM COSTS
A wrap fee program allows our clients to pay a specified fee for investment advisory services and the
execution of transactions. Your fee is bundled with our costs for executing transactions in your account(s).
This may result in a higher advisory fee to you. We do not charge our clients higher advisory fees based
on their trading activity, but you should be aware that we may have an incentive to limit our trading
activities in your account(s) because we are charged for executed trades. By participating in a wrap fee
program, you may end up paying more or less than you would through a non-wrap fee program where a
lower advisory fee is charged, but trade execution costs are passed directly through to you by the
executing broker.
5
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
OTHER TYPES OF FEES AND EXPENSES
You may pay custodial fees, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange-traded
fund which shall be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e., fund management fees and other fund
expenses), mark-ups and mark-downs, spreads paid to market makers, wire transfer fees, fees for trades
executed away from custodian, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities
transactions. These fees are not included within the wrap-fee you are charged by our firm.
Halcyon may pay estate planning and/or tax preparation services on behalf of the client on a case by case
basis.
ITEM 5 Account Requirements and Types of Clients
We provide our investment advisory services to:
- Individuals
- High Net Worth Individuals
- Corporations
- Other business entities
There is an account minimum of $200,000, which may be waived by the investment advisor, based on
the needs of the client and the complexity of the situation.
ITEM 6
Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
Our Wrap Fee Program is managed by Halcyon and will not utilize a subadvisor or other third-party
manager.
We will use an industry standard to calculate portfolio manager performance.
ADVISORY BUSINESS
Asset Management Services:
We provide asset management services in which we manage your custodial accounts and provide you
with continuous and ongoing supervision of your custodial accounts. Our services provide additional
investment opportunities among stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Real Estate
Investment Trusts (REITs), options, and additional securities.
TAILORING OF ADVISORY SERVICES
Halcyon offers the same suite of services to all our clients. However, specific client financial plans and
their implementation are dependent upon the individual client’s Investment Policy Statement, which
outlines a client’s current financial situation such as income, net worth and risk tolerance levels. This
information is essential in the development of a client-specific plan in the selection of investments that
matches restrictions, needs, and targets. On a case by case basis, our clients may impose restrictions on
6
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if
the restrictions prevent us from properly servicing the client’s account, or if the restrictions would require
us to deviate from our standard suite of services, we reserve the right to end the relationship. We may
request additional information and documentation, such as current investments, tax returns, insurance
policies, and estate plan. We will discuss your investment objectives, needs, and goals, but you must
inform us of any changes. Unless directed by you, we do not independently verify any information
provided to us by you or your attorney, accountant or other professionals.
PARTICIPATION IN WRAP FEE PROGRAMS
Our wrap fee and non-wrap fee accounts are managed on an individualized basis according to the client’s
investment objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc. Generally, we do not manage wrap fee accounts
in a different fashion than non-wrap fee accounts; however, certain client accounts may be managed
differently based on the size and nature of the account and/or the client’s investment objectives and risk
tolerance.
In our wrap fee program, your fee is bundled with our costs for executing transactions in your account(s).
This may result in a higher advisory fee to you. We do not charge our clients higher advisory fees based
on their trading activity, but you should be aware that we may have an incentive to limit our trading
activities in your account(s) because we are charged for executed trades. By participating in a wrap fee
program, you may end up paying more or less than you would through a non-wrap fee program where a
lower advisory fee is charged, but trade execution costs are passed directly through to you by the
executing broker.
PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
We do not charge any performance-based fees, which are fees based on a share of capital gains on or
capital appreciation of your assets.
METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RISK OF LOSS
We use various methods of analysis and investment strategies, including the following:
Fundamental Analysis – We evaluate economic and financial factors to determine if a security may be
underpriced, overpriced, or fairly priced. This method entails assessing a security by attempting to
determine its intrinsic value by examining related financial, economic, and other qualitative and
quantitative factors. Fundamental analysis requires an in-depth look at all factors that can affect the
security's value, from macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) to
individually specific factors (like the financial situation and management of companies). The overall
objective of performing the fundamental analysis is to determine a value that an investor can use to
determine what sort of position to take with that security. This method of security analysis is contrary to
technical analysis. Fundamental analysis involves using real data to evaluate a security's value. Although
most analysts use fundamental analysis to value stocks, this method of valuation can be used for just
about any type of security.
Quantitative Analysis- Quantitative Analysis deals with measurable factors as distinguished from
qualitative considerations such as the character of management or the state of employee morale, such as
the value of assets, the cost of capital, historical projections of sales, and so on.
7
Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
Modern Portfolio Theory - Modern portfolio theory (MPT) is a risk-averse theory that involves the
construction of portfolios to maximize and optimize expected return based on a given level of market risk,
emphasizing that risk is an inherent part of higher reward. According to the theory, it's possible to
construct an "efficient frontier" of optimal portfolios offering the maximum possible expected return for
a given level of risk.
Investment Strategies
When formulating investment advice or managing client assets, we will use the following investment
strategies. There are inherent risks associated with each of these strategies.
Long-Term Strategy - A long-term strategy may not take advantage of short-term gains or may experience
more volatility over the life of the portfolio.
Your accounts are managed separately with your underlying investment strategies, restrictions, or
investment limitations defined within the investment advisory agreement.
POTENTIAL RISKS
Investing involves different levels of risk that can result in loss of any profits and/or principal you have not
realized. We manage your account in a manner consistent with your pre-determined risk tolerance and
suitability profile. However, we cannot guarantee that our efforts will be successful. Investing in securities
involves the risk of loss clients should be prepared to bear.
Investing involves the assumption of risk, including:
Financial Risk: which is the risk that the companies we recommend to you perform poorly, which affect
the price of your investment.
Market Risk: which is the risk that the stock market will decline, decreasing the value of the securities we
recommend to you with it.
Inflation Risk: which is the risk that the rate of price increases in the economy deteriorates the returns
associated with the stock.
Political and Governmental Risk: which is the risk that the value of your investment will is affected by the
introduction of new laws or regulations.
Interest Rate Risk: which is the risk that the value of the investments we recommend to you will fall if
interest rates rise.
Call Risk: which is the risk that your investment will be called or purchased back from you when conditions
are favorable to the bond issuer and unfavorable to you.
Default Risk: which is the risk that issuer is unable to pay the contractual interest or principal on the
investment promptly or at all.
Manager Risk: which is the risk that an actively managed mutual fund’s investment adviser will fail to
execute the fund’s stated investment strategy.
Industry Risk: which is the risk that a group of stocks in a single industry will decline in price due to adverse
developments in that industry, decreasing the value of mutual funds that are significantly invested in that
industry.

VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
We do not have the authority to vote proxies as it pertains to the issuers of securities held in your account.
The responsibility for voting your securities places increased liability to us and does not add enough value
to the services provided to you to justify the additional compliance and regulatory costs associated with
voting your securities.
Therefore, you are responsible for voting all proxies for securities held in accounts managed by us.
Typically, our qualified custodian will forward you your proxy information. Although we do not vote your
proxies, you can contact us if you have a question about a particular proxy.
ITEM 7
Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
We are required to describe the information about you that we communicate to your portfolio
manager(s), and how often or under what circumstances we provide updated information. Our firm
communicates with your portfolio manager(s) on a regular basis as needed (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)
to ensure your most current investment goals and objectives are understood by your portfolio
manager(s). In most cases, we will communicate such information as part of our regular investment
management duties. Nevertheless, we will also communicate information to your portfolio manager(s)
when you ask us to when market or economic conditions make it prudent to do so, etc.
ITEM 8

Clients are always free to directly contact us with any questions or concerns they have about their
portfolios or other matters.

Halcyon Global Advisors, LLC
implement
Halcyon does not require its IARs to encourage clients to implement investment advice through our
insurance product recommendations. Clients have the right to
insurance product
recommendations through the insurance agency and agent of their choice. We require that all IARs
disclose this conflict of interest when such recommendations are made. We also require IARs to disclose
that the client has the right to purchase recommended products from individuals not affiliated with us.
Selection of Other Investment Advisers
We do not recommend or select other investment advisers for our clients.
CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL
TRADING
Code of Ethics
Halcyon has developed a code of ethics that will apply to all of our supervised persons. Our IARs and we
must act in a fiduciary capacity when providing investment advisory services to you. As a fiduciary, it is an
investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts and to act solely
in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. Halcyon has a fiduciary duty to all clients. This
fiduciary duty is considered the core underlying principle of our code of ethics, which also covers our
insider trading and personal securities transactions policies and procedures. We require all of our
supervised persons to conduct business with the highest level of ethical standards and to comply with all
federal and state securities laws at all times. Upon employment or affiliation and at least annually
thereafter, all supervised persons will acknowledge that they have read, understand and agree to comply
with our Code of Ethics.
Our Code of Ethics is available to clients and prospective clients upon request.
Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest
Neither we nor any related person recommend to clients or buys or sells for clients’ accounts, securities
in which we or a related person has a material financial interest.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
There may be instances where an IAR will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients
the purchase or sale of securities in which an IAR, its affiliates, or other clients may also have a position
or interest. Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an
aggregated basis. Generally, in such circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share execution
costs equally. Completed trade orders will be allocated according to the instructions from the initial trade
order. Partially filled trade orders will be allocated on a pro-rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained in
the trade order.
Personal Trading
Employees are permitted to have personal securities accounts as long as personal investing practices are
in line with fiduciary standards and regulatory requirements, and do not conflict with their duty to Halcyon
and our clients. Halcyon monitors and controls personal trading through pre-approval of all personal
securities transactions or blackout periods imposed upon employees trading in the same securities as
Halcyon. We forbid any officer or employee, either personally or on behalf of others, to trade on material,
nonpublic information, or to communicate such information to others in violation of the law.
