Conditions for Managing Accounts
Before providing investment management services, the Client is required to enter into a
formal Investment Management Agreement with Harvey Capital Management, Inc. Our
Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which the Firm will manage the
Client’s assets. It is our policy that the Client uses a qualified custodian to safeguard
their assets. To avoid conflicts of interest, we do not have affiliations with any broker-
dealer or investment banking divisions.
The Client may terminate the Investment Management Agreement with prior written
notice to Harvey Capital Management. The Agreement will be cancelled ten (10)
business days after given notice. Harvey Capital Management will pro-rate the fees
from the last billing cycle to the termination date.
Harvey Capital Management does not participate in any Wrap Fee Program.

assets on a discretionary basis.

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Investment Management Services Compensation
Harvey Capital Management charges each account an investment management fee
based upon the market value of the account at quarter end. The investment
management fees are billed quarterly and in arrears. Fees are calculated pro-rata in
the event the investment management agreement is executed at any time other than
the first day of the quarter.
By signing the investment management agreement, the Client authorizes the qualified
custodian to pay advisory fees directly to Harvey Capital Management, unless prior
arrangements are made in writing. The qualified custodian will facilitate the deduction
of the investment management fee from your account. The Firm will only accept checks
payable to Harvey Capital Management for payment of advisory fees.
On an annualized basis, our fees for investment management services are as follows:
Portfolio Size
Annualized Fee
First $2,000,000
1.00%
Balances above $2,000,000
0.50%
Minimum Annual Fee - $3,000
The Firm generally requires a minimum of $1 million to open and maintain an advisory
account. However, this account minimum may be waived at the discretion of Harvey
Capital Management.
Other Fees
In addition to our advisory fees, clients are responsible for the fees, expenses and
transaction cost charged separately by custodians and broker-dealers. We do not
directly or indirectly share or receive a portion of these fees.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Harvey Capital Management does not charge fees based on performance or side-by-side
management.

We offer individualized investment management services all tailored to meet the
investment objectives of the Client. Our firm customizes portfolios based on the
specific investment objective of the Client whether it is growth, income or balanced.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies &
Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and
managing client assets:
Fundamental: Fundamental analysis is a general assessment based upon various
factors including stock valuation, earnings, balance sheet and cash flow analysis.
Charting and Technical: Charting consists of a technical analysis using graphs to
illustrate various patterns or progressions in the market or account movement.
The main source of research includes:
Bloomberg, MarketSmith by Investor’s Business Daily
Financial Newspapers/Magazines
Company Presentations
Annual Reports, Prospectuses and SEC Filings
Internet
Our method of analysis relies on the assumption that the companies we purchase, and
sell are providing accurate data. There is always a risk that our analysis may be
7
compromised by inaccurate or misleading information. To make ourselves available to
a variety of investment opportunities, we keep our investment style flexible. Our focus
is bottom-up and Harvey Capital Management does not limit our clients to any one
investment style.
Investment Strategies
The investment strategies used to implement investment advice include both short-term
and long-term views. To determine these views, we gather financial background
information from the Client through personal interviews.
We will review the following information with the Client:
Risk Tolerance
Investment Time Horizon
Tax Bracket
Current Financial Situation
Type of Account (i.e., taxable versus non-taxable)
Family Composition
Prior Investment History
Income/Liquidity Needs
Future Investment Goals and Expectations
Once all these essentials are considered, the Client chooses an investment
objective/strategy best suited for the account. The chart below shows the different
investment objectives available:
Allocation Ranges
Investment Goal
Investment
Objective
Equities
Cash
Fixed
Income
Growth
Capital Appreciation
65% - 100% 0% - 35%

65% - 100%
0% - 35%
Balanced
Growth to Moderate Income 35% - 65%

Growth portfolios typically consist of individual securities with initial equity positions of
approximately 5% or less. Harvey Capital Management utilizes ETFs (Exchange-Traded
Funds) in certain circumstances for broad diversification. Covered calls may be
employed for accounts set up with option capabilities.
8
Income portfolios consist of individual taxable, tax-exempt bonds and/or preferred
stock, as well as ETFs. Based on the Client’s election, portfolios can be structured to
include both investment and non-investment grade bonds.
Risks of fixed income investing include:
Interest rate risk
Credit risk
Inflation risk
Call risk
Prepayment risk
Reinvestment risk
Balance portfolio is a blend between equity and fixed income allocations.
We use the above investment objectives strategy(ies) as our guidelines in managing the
Client’s portfolio. Investments are rebalanced when necessary. We require the Client
to review their investment objective through our annual mailing.
Risk of Loss
Harvey Capital Management does not represent, warrant or imply that the services or
methods of analysis employed by the Firm can or will predict future results, successfully
identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate clients from losses due to market decline
corrections. Securities investments are not guaranteed, and the Client may lose money

Privacy
At Harvey Capital Management, we realize that your relationship with us is built on
trust. Maintaining and protecting your privacy is very important to us. We collect, use
and share non-public information with non-affiliated third parties to service our clients.
Non-public information is personal information that we obtain from the Client to provide
a financial service. We will keep non-public personal information safeguarded in
accordance with our Privacy Policy. Secured email is used when sending sensitive
information to help keep confidential information from data breach or loss. As required
by federal law, we will provide an initial Privacy Policy for new Clients.

investment securities identical to those recommended to clients for their personal
account(s). All personal trading is reported and reviewed in accordance to the policies
established by Harvey Capital Management and SEC regulations.
Personal Trading
All employees and their immediate family members of the Firm are subject to the Code
of Ethics and the requirements of the Personal Security Trading Policy. Sanctions will
be issued to any employee who conducts any applicable trade without following the
Personal Security Trading Policy.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Brokerage Selection Factors
Harvey Capital Management uses broker-dealers which charges brokerage commission
and/or transaction fees for executing trades. Generally, clients grant us complete
discretion of the broker-dealer to be used and the commission rates to be paid. The
evaluation of the commission rates to be paid to the broker/dealer is based on several
factors:
best execution
volume discounts/execution price negotiations
broker’s reputation, financial stability and experience
quality of service
11
These brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees charged by the designated
broker-dealer may be higher or lower than those charged by other broker-dealers, in
addition to, the investment management fee charged by Harvey Capital Management.
The Client is responsible for reviewing the specific schedules of their chosen broker
dealer.
Harvey Capital Management may recommend clients to establish brokerage accounts
with the Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC and National Financial Services LLC
(collectively, and together with all affiliates, “Fidelity”), to maintain custody of clients'
assets and to execute trades for their accounts. Although we recommend that clients
establish accounts at Fidelity, it is the Client's decision to custody and trade with
Fidelity.
Fidelity provides Harvey Capital Management with an institutional platform service. The
institutional platform services include brokerage, custody, and other related services.
Fidelity's institutional platform services that assist Harvey Capital Management in
managing and administering clients' accounts include software and technology that (i)
provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account
statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for
multiple client accounts; (iii) provide research, pricing and other market data; (iv)
facilitate payment of fees from its clients' accounts; and (v) assist with back-office
functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but
whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution. In making this
assessment, we consider the full range of a custodian’s services, including the value of
research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. While
we always seek competitive rates, we may not necessarily obtain the lowest
commission rates for our clients.
Fidelity also offers other services intended to help Harvey Capital Management manage
and further develop its advisory practice. These services may include, but are not
limited to, performance reporting, financial planning, third-party research, publications,
access to educational conferences, roundtables and webinars, practice management
resources, access to consultants and other third-party services.
Fidelity generally does not charge its advisor clients separately for custody services but
is compensated by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related
or asset-based fees for securities trades that are executed through Fidelity or that settle
into Fidelity accounts (i.e., transactions fees are charged for certain no-load mutual
funds, commissions are charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions).
Fidelity provides access to many no-load mutual funds without transaction charges and
other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges.
12
Harvey Capital Management is an independently owned investment adviser, and not
affiliated with any broker-dealer. We do not have a soft dollar arrangement with
Fidelity; therefore, our firm does not receive any portion of the brokerage commission.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Practices
Harvey Capital Management does not utilize soft dollar commission to pay for research,
products or services.
Directed Brokerage
The Client may direct Harvey Capital Management to use a particular broker-dealer to
execute trade transactions for the Client’s account. Such directions must be in writing
and delivered to the Firm by the Client. The Client is responsible for negotiating the
terms and arrangements for the account with that directed broker.
The Client should understand that this arrangement will prevent Harvey Capital
Management from aggregating trade orders, obtaining volume discounts, best
execution and effectively negotiating brokerage compensation on their behalf.
Clients should evaluate if the brokerage commission and fee expenses, execution,
clearance and settlement capabilities through their directed brokerage are comparable
to those of the firm’s selection of broker-dealers.
Conditions for Aggregating Trades for Clients
The aggregation or blocking of client transactions allows an adviser to execute
transactions in a timely, equitable, and efficient manner. This allows all clients to
receive an average price per share. As a matter of policy, an adviser's allocation
procedures must be fair and equitable to all clients with no group or client(s) being
favored over any other clients. Our firm’s policy is to aggregate client transactions
where possible and when advantageous to clients.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Harvey Capital Management has established an Investment Committee to formally
review the Client’s account(s) on an annual basis. The Investment Committee may be
composed of, but not limited to:
Robert Harvey, CFA, Chairman
Alexander Harvey, CFA, President & Chief Executive Officer
Sophia Burnichon, Executive Vice President
13
For more information about our advisory personnel of Harvey Capital Management,
please refer to the Brochure Supplemental (Form ADV, Part 2B).
The Portfolio Manager reviews the investment objectives for all clients on a quarterly
basis. We require the Client to review their investment objective through our annual
mailing. More frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes such as the
Client's individual circumstances, large deposits/withdrawals, market fluctuation,
political or economic climate. Our firm will offer a formal account review upon request
from the Client.
Each client is responsible to promptly notify Harvey Capital Management if there are
any changes to their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of
revising the Firm’s previous recommendations.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Harvey Capital Management does not engage solicitors or pay related or non-related
persons for referring potential clients to our firm. It is our firm’s policy not to accept
compensation, including cash or other items, excluding de minims amount from a non-
client in conjunction with the advisory services we provide to our clients.
Item 15: Custody
Harvey Capital Management uses an unaffiliated qualified custodial firm to safeguard
the Client’s assets. Our firm does not have actual or constructive custody of our client’s
assets.
Harvey Capital Management recommends that clients establish an account with Fidelity,
to maintain custody of the assets. Although we recommend that the Client establishes
an account at Fidelity, it is the Client's decision to custody assets with Fidelity. Harvey
Capital Management is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with
Fidelity.
Fidelity generally does not charge for custody services. Other custodians may charge
separately for custody services. The Client is responsible for reviewing the specific
schedules of their chosen custodian.
14
The Client must provide written authorization to the qualified custodian permitting the
fees to be paid directly to Harvey Capital Management. The Firm does not have access
to client funds for payment of fees without written consent by the Client. By signing
the investment management agreement, the Client authorizes the qualified custodian to
pay advisory fees directly to Harvey Capital Management, unless prior arrangements are
made in writing. The Firm will only accept checks payable to Harvey Capital
Management for payment of advisory fees.
Clients will receive monthly statements and annual tax statements from their qualified
custodian. It is important for clients to carefully review their custodial statements to
verify the accuracy of the information. Clients should contact us directly if there is an
error in the statement.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Harvey Capital Management provides both investment supervisory and advisory
services. Both are tailored to the investment objectives of the Client. Currently, our
business focus is on discretionary management.
The Client grants us discretionary authority to manage the portfolio when an
Investment Management Discretionary Agreement is signed by the Client. Discretionary
authority allows the Firm to execute trades in a client’s account without contacting the
Client prior to each trade to obtain their permission. Such discretion and authority
allow the Firm to perform various investment functions without further approval from
the Client.
This may include:
determination of the securities to be purchased/sold
determination of the quantity/quantity/number of securities to be purchased/sold
selection of broker-dealer to be used
determination of the commission rates
qualified custodians facilitating the debiting of the account for the investment
management fees
The Client may limit this discretion and authority restriction, that is reasonable (i.e.,
buying/selling restriction on certain securities or industry group/sectors), by providing
the Firm with written instruction.
15
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Harvey Capital Management does not accept authority for voting proxies on behalf of
the Clients.
This disclosure is stated in the Investment Management Agreement between Harvey
Capital Management and the Client. Although our firm may provide investment
advisory services relative to client investment assets, clients maintain exclusive
responsibility for directing the voting of proxies. For ERISA accounts, Harvey Capital
Management will review the Voting Proxies Policy on the Client’s Plan Investment Policy.
We shall retain the authority to make all elections related to any mergers, acquisitions,
tender offers, bankruptcy proceedings or other type events pertaining to the securities
in the Account. We may provide clients with consulting assistance regarding corporate
actions and the exercise of proxy voting rights if they contact us with questions.
Item 18: Financial Information
Harvey Capital Management has no additional financial circumstances to report. We do
not include a financial statement because the Firm does not require or solicit pre-
payment of fees for services rendered or take custody of client funds or securities. The
Firm has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet its contractual and
fiduciary commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition
since inception.
