Item 4 – Advisory Business
InterWealth Management, LLC is solely owned by the Managing Director, Denis Ryan.
DenisRyan@InterWealthManagement.com InterWealth Management advises on separately
managed, well designed asset allocated portfolios. We utilize mutual funds and Exchange Traded
Fund's (ETF’s) as primary vehicles. Where appropriate, InterWealth Management will add
individual stocks to a portfolio. InterWealth Management’s focus is risk tolerance profiling with
continuous monitoring of client accounts. InterWealth Management’s practice is managed on a
non-discretionary basis and is tailored to the individual needs of the client by continuously
monitoring their investments and risk tolerance. As of December 2024, the total assets under
management for those accounts are $ 253,629,649 .
InterWealth Management also advises on retirement income planning, 529 plans and 401k
and Profit Sharing Plans. InterWealth Management does not provide financial planning or provide
any consultations that do not involve securities.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries 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. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your
interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put
our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The Investment Advisory contract executed by clients and InterWealth Management, LLC
has no expiration date and can be terminated with written notice by either InterWealth Management
or Client and is effective immediately. If the contract is terminated at a time between monthly
billing dates, InterWealth Management shall be entitled to payment of a portion of the monthly
billing fee, equal to such monthly fee multiplied by the ratio which the number of days past in the
month as of the termination date bears to the number of days in the month. Over-payments of
management fees, if any, will be promptly returned to the Client. In special circumstances, as in a
situation where InterWealth Management is in competition with another firm’s fee schedule or if
an account size warrants a discount, some fees may be negotiated at levels less than the stated
annual advisory fee of 1.5% to .50%. The following is the fee schedule:
Under $500,000 1.5% $500,000-$1 Million 1.0%
$1 Million-$2 Million .75% Over $2 Million .50%
This is a blended fee schedule; we may charge up to 1% of AUM until the account crosses
$2 Million before a discount is warranted.
Based on prior written authorization, the Client’s fee shall be paid monthly in arrears by
the Custodian out of the income or assets held in the Client’s account. A Client, with written notice,
can elect to pay the fee directly to InterWealth Management. The monthly fee will be due
immediately upon Client’s receipt of the billing invoice, which is sent directly from InterWealth
Management.
InterWealth Management’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees,
and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the Client. Clients may incur
certain charges imposed by Custodians, Brokers, third party investments and other third parties
such as fees charged my managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials,
transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage
accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal
management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions
are exclusive of and in addition to InterWealth Management’s fee, and InterWealth Management
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Item 12 further describes the factors that InterWealth Management considers in selecting
or recommending broker-dealers for Client transactions and determining the reasonableness of
their compensation (e.g., commission).
4 | P a g e
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
InterWealth Management does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share
of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
InterWealth Management provides portfolio management services to individuals, high net
worth individuals, trust accounts or closely held business owners. InterWealth Management has a
$500,000 minimum per household for the relationship and will advise on retirement plans, IRAs
and taxable money. InterWealth Management can make exceptions to the minimums for close
friends and family.
Item 8 – Method of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
InterWealth Management’s main objective is to match our client’s risk tolerance with their
portfolio. InterWealth Management will analyze the assets, savings rate, time frame until
retirement, and most importantly, a client’s attitude towards risk. InterWealth Management will
monitor the risk and reward for all portfolios and uses a vetted series of diagnostic questionnaires
to identify risk portfolios. InterWealth Management recommends diversified Mutual Fund and
ETF portfolios for clients and utilizes the research capabilities of Russell Investments, BlackRock,
and Morningstar Independent Investment Research to evaluate the performance of fund managers.
InterWealth Management uses various asset allocated models to create a client’s portfolio, often
integrating existing holdings into these portfolios. The primary strategy of InterWealth
Management is to buy and hold with quarterly rebalancing and the reinvesting of dividends. When
appropriate, InterWealth Management will occasionally overweight in specific asset classes.
InterWealth Management discloses at all times as with all investments that there are risks
associated with mutual funds and that past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal
or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of InterWealth Management or the
integrity of InterWealth Management’s management. InterWealth Management has no information
applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither InterWealth Management nor its representatives are registered as, or have pending
applications to become, a broker/dealer or a representative of a broker/dealer.
5 | P a g e
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
InterWealth Management has adopted a Code of Ethics for all officers and employees of the
firm describing its high standard of business conduct and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of
Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on
insider trading, personal securities trading procedures, restrictions on the acceptance of significant
gifts, among other things. All officers and employees at InterWealth Management must
acknowledge in writing the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
InterWealth Management anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with
clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which InterWealth Management has
management authority to effect and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective
clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which InterWealth Management, and /or clients,
directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. InterWealth Management’s employees and
to follow InterWealth
persons associated with InterWealth Management are required
Management’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers,
directors and employees of InterWealth Management may trade for their own accounts in securities
which are recommended to and/or purchased for InterWealth Management’s clients.
The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities
and interests of the employees of InterWealth Management will not interfere with (i) making
decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the
same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Under the Code certain classes
of securities have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a determination that these
would materially not interfere with the best interest of InterWealth Management’s clients. In
addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of any transactions, and restricts trading in close
proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances
would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that
employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee.
Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably prevent
conflicts of interest between InterWealth Management and its clients.
Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an
aggregated basis when consistent with InterWealth Management’s obligation of best execution. In
such circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share commission costs equally and
receive securities at a total average price. InterWealth Management will retain records of the trade
order (specifying each participating account) and its allocation, which will be completed prior to
the entry of the aggregated order. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial
trade order. Partially filled orders will be allocated on a pro rata basis.
InterWealth Management’s clients or prospective clients may, at any time, request a copy
of the firm’s Code of Ethics by contacting Denis Ryan.
It is InterWealth Management’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal or agency
cross-securities transactions for client accounts. InterWealth Management will also not cross trade
between client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where an
6 | P a g e
adviser, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys
from or sells any security to any advisory client. A principal transaction may also be deemed to
have occurred if a security is crossed between an affiliated hedge fund and another client account.
An agency cross transaction is defined as a transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser
in relation to a transaction in which the investment adviser, or any other person controlled by or
under common control with the investment adviser, acts as broker for both the advisory client and
for another person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross transactions may arise where
an adviser is dually registered as a broker-dealer of an affiliated broker-dealer.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practice
Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations through InterWealth
Management or its associated persons and are free to select any broker/dealer they wish in order
to implement recommendations. If clients elect to utilize InterWealth Management's management
services, InterWealth Management recommends that they establish accounts at Fidelity
Investments, Inc and some client assets will be held at AssetMark. To help fulfill its duty of best
execution, InterWealth Management recommends Fidelity Investments, Inc. due to its reasonable
brokerage fees, execution capabilities, expertise and reputation. However, clients may select
another qualified custodian. The selected custodian executes clients' investment transactions and
provides them with trade confirmations and account statements. While InterWealth Management
believes Fidelity Investment, Inc's commissions and brokerage fees are reasonable, clients
selecting another custodian may pay higher or lower commission rates and transaction costs than
if they implemented transactions through fidelity. InterWealth Management is not in the practice
nor has entered into any soft dollar arrangements.
If clients elect to use a qualified custodian other than Fidelity Investments, Inc., they may
receive less favorable prices than would otherwise be the case if they had not selected the
designated custodian.
InterWealth Management utilizes mutual funds and Exchange Traded Fund's (ETF’s) as
primary vehicles and does not aggregate the purchase or sale of securities for client accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Client portfolios will be monitored at least quarterly by Denis Ryan, who functions as
Portfolio Manager. As InterWealth Management grows in assets under management, InterWealth
Management may add additional Portfolio Managers. InterWealth Management on a daily basis
will conduct a review of overall asset allocation and individual security selection to determine
trigger levels for buy and sell decisions. Denis Ryan serves as InterWealth Management’s Chief
Investment Officer and will be active in all phases of the research & decision-making process.
7 | P a g e
Clients will receive account statements from their qualified custodian at least quarterly, if
not monthly. InterWealth Management does not provide any additional statements or reports to
clients.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
InterWealth Management does not currently have any solicitor arrangements.
Item 15 – Custody
Our firm does not have custody of client accounts or securities. Fidelity Investments Inc.
is the custodian for the majority of client accounts and total assets under management. Some
advisory accounts are held in custody with ADP, AssetMark, American Funds, and Lincoln
Financial. Clients will receive statements directly from the designated custodian.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
InterWealth Management on a selective basis will manage money on a discretionary basis.
Investment guidelines/objectives and restrictions are provided to InterWealth Management. The
client may be notified prior to the sale or purchase of any or all of the securities contained in the
client’s managed account. InterWealth Management if appropriate, will execute transactions for
clients and inform them after the fact. Currently the vast majority of the business is managed on a
non-discretionary basis.
Item 17 – Voting Clients Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, InterWealth Management does not have any authority
to and does not vote proxies on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the responsibility for
receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities maintained in client 6. portfolios. Clients
will receive proxy information directly from the Custodian. If the client has questions regarding
the proxy information, InterWealth Management will direct them to the company.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial
information or disclosures and InterWealth Management’s financial condition. InterWealth
Management has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
