Separately Managed Accounts
KWM provides investment advisory services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations,
corporations and other organizations through the use of separately managed accounts.
KWM emphasizes continuous personal client contact and interaction in providing discretionary
investment management services. Further, KWM works with its clients to identify their investment
goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance to create an initial portfolio allocation designed to
complement its clients’ goals and objectives. KWM may create a portfolio, consisting of traditional
asset classes of fixed income and domestic equities, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds,
options or other securities and non-public investments, including the private fund managed by
KWM. Cash represents either money market funds or cash equivalents.
KWM will determine a portfolio that is suitable to a managed account client’s goals, objectives,
circumstances, and risk tolerance. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, KWM will
manage the client’s portfolio in accordance with the client’s investment goals and objectives. The
client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be
held in the portfolio. KWM’s strategy, generally, will be to seek to meet client investment
objectives while providing clients with access to personal advisory services on at least an annual
basis, or more often, depending upon prior agreement.

Performance based fees are calculated and paid in accordance with the Limited Partnership
Agreement of each partnership. No appreciation or depreciation will change the management fee,
the fee will be based on the original capital invested.
All Management Fees and Performance Allocation are deducted from the Fund’s account.
B. Other Fees and Expenses
Separately Managed Accounts
In addition to KWM’s annual investment management fee, the client may also incur certain charges
imposed by unaffiliated third parties. Such charges include, but are not limited to, custodial fees,
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or
exchange traded fund purchased for the account which shall be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus
(i.e., fund management fees and other fund expenses), wire transfer fees and other fees and taxes on
brokerage accounts and securities transactions. For more information on brokerage transactions and
costs, please see Item 9: Brokerage Practices.
All fees paid to KWM for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and
expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange traded funds to their shareholders. These fees and
expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. Such fees will generally include a management
fee, other fund expenses and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a
client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge.
A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services of KWM. In that case, the client
would not receive the services provided by KWM which are designed, among other things, to assist
the client in determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to the client’s financial
condition, goals, and objectives. Accordingly, the clients should review both the fees charged by the
funds and the fees charged by KWM to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the
clients and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided.
Advice offered by KWM may involve investments in money market funds. Clients are hereby
advised that all fees paid to KWM for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from
the fees and expenses charged by money market funds (described in each fund’s prospectus) to their
shareholders. These fees may include, but are not limited to, a management fee, upfront sales
charges, and other fund expenses. Further, there may be transaction charges involved with
purchasing or selling of securities. KWM does not share in any portion of the brokerage
fees/transaction charges imposed by the custodian holding the client funds or securities. The client
should review all fees charged by money market funds, KWM, and others to fully understand the
total amount of fees to be paid by the client.

Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
Upon client’s written authorization, fees will be automatically deducted from the account. Clients
will be provided with a quarterly statement reflecting deduction of the advisory fee.
KWM may select, with clients’ consent, other third-party investment managers that KWM will
monitor on the clients’ behalf. When KWM does so, the client pays a maximum fee of 1.00% of
assets under management to KWM and pays any applicable fees charged by the third-party
investment manager.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
In addition to KWM’s fee for financial planning, a financial planning client is required to pay filing
fees for entities and any legal and accounting fees that KWM may incur in conjunction with the
client’s planning assignment.
Private Fund Management
In addition to the management fee and Performance Allocation payable at the Fund level, the Fund
will also pay management fees and performance allocations to the relevant manager. As an investor
the Fund bears its pro rata portion of the management fees and performance allocations charged at
the investment vehicle level.
The Kingsbridge Alternative Strategies Fund, LP, Kingsbridge Venture I, LP, Kingsbridge IV, LP,
Kingsbridge Venture V, LP, the Kingsbridge Ventures RLF, LP and the Kingsbridge SPV II, LP,
Kingsbridge BVVC, LP bear all costs and expenses directly related to its investment program and
the compensation of the managers of other investment vehicles. The Funds also bear all costs and
expenses directly related to their investment programs, including expenses related to proxies,
underwriting and private placements, brokerage commissions, interest on debit balances or
borrowings, custody fees, the fees and expenses of risk and portfolio management systems, any
withholding or transfer taxes and all expenses incurred in connection with locating, evaluating, and
implementing potential investments, including travel, software subscriptions and other research
related expenses. For more information on brokerage transactions and costs, please see Item 12:
Brokerage Practices.
ITEM 6: PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
Certain limited partners of the Funds pay a Performance Allocation, (i.e., fees calculated based on a
share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the client’s assets or any portion of the client’s
assets) as described in Item 5 above. Performance-based fees may or may not be charged to
separately managed account clients. Kingsbridge Investment Partners (KIP) may have an incentive
11
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
to favor accounts for which it (or an affiliate) receives a performance-based fee. Additionally, the
Fund and separately managed account clients do not pursue the same strategy or invest in the same
types of securities, so there is no risk that KIP would favor the Funds to the detriment of separately
managed account clients in the event of limited investment opportunities.
ITEM 7: TYPES OF CLIENTS
Separately Managed Accounts
KWM provides fully discretionary investment advisory services for a variety of clients, including
individuals, corporations, charitable organizations, trusts, and estates. KWM generally requires a

ITEM 8: METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
Managed Accounts
12
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
KWM utilizes various methods of analysis in formulating its investment management decisions.
KWM employs a defined process for gaining exposure to desired asset classes and sub-asset
classes. KWM may employ an algorithm for creating a portfolio to track a specific index and
will monitor the portfolio, no less than quarterly, for tracking error to that index. KWM will also
monitor the portfolio for tax basis and endeavor to manage assets in a tax efficient manner for
taxable accounts. KWM may also index exposure to desired asset classes or sub-asset classes by
using Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The ETFs used will be monitored for tracking error to the
index, liquidity, and cost no less than quarterly. KWM may also implement fixed income
allocations by investing in individual bonds. Each bond is evaluated for credit rating, coupon,
maturity, and call features as well as the individual bonds contribution to a diversified portfolio of
bonds.
KWM may select, with clients’ consent, other third-party investment managers that KWM will
monitor on the clients’ behalf. To assist the client in the selection of a third-party investment
manager, KWM will typically gather information from the clients about their financial situation,
investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions imposed on the management of the account.
KWM will not offer advice on any specific securities or other investments in connection with this
service. KWM makes every reasonable attempt to ensure that any investment advisers that it selects
or recommends to clients are properly licensed or exempt from registration.
KWM will periodically review reports provided to the client by a third-party manager. KWM will
contact the client periodically, as agreed, in order to review the client’s financial situation and
objectives; communicate information to the third-party manager as warranted and assist the clients
in understanding and evaluating the services provided by the third-party manager. Clients will be
expected to notify KWM of any changes in their financial situation, investment objectives, or
account restrictions. Clients may also contact directly the third-party manager managing the account
or sponsoring the program.
KWM may also encourage managed account clients to invest a portion of their accounts in the
Fund. The Fund’s strategy and the risks associated with such strategy are described below.
KWM follows a general systematic investment strategy using the following steps:
- Based on a client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance, KWM will determine a suitable
allocation between fixed income investments, equities, cash equivalents and alternative
investments. This allocation should not change unless the client’s investment objectives or risk
tolerance changes.
- For each client account, KWM will determine strategic asset allocation targets for each asset
class utilized in a client’s account. This will partly be based on the client’s investment
13
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
objectives, risk tolerance, and cash flow needs, but will also be based on KWM’s analysis of the
long-term risk/return characteristics of each asset class. KWM will not begin constructing a
client’s account portfolio until the client approves the asset class allocation model.
- Once the asset class allocation model is approved by the client, KWM begins constructing the
client’s account portfolio in accordance with the model.
KWM prefers to index to specific asset classes because they participate in market returns and are
lower cost and can be managed for lower taxation. KWM also considers after-tax returns for
taxable accounts and if possible or suitable for a client KWM will index with individual equities or
ETFs.
A further feature of KWM’s investment strategy is its emphasis on broad global diversification and
selecting asset classes which have a relatively low correlation with each other.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves a significant risk of loss. KWM’s investment recommendations are
subject to various market, currency, economic, political and business risks, and such investment
decisions may not always be profitable. Clients should be aware that there may be a loss or
depreciation to the value of the client’s account, which clients should be prepared to bear. There can
be no assurance that the client’s investment objectives will be obtained and no inference to the
contrary should be made. Clients are advised that they should only commit assets for management
that can be invested for the long term, that volatility from investing can occur, and that all investing
is subject to risk and consequently, the value of the client’s account may at any time be worth more
or less than the amount invested.
Risks Involved in Particular Types of Investments
Stock Market Risk. The market value of stocks will generally fluctuate with market conditions.
While stocks have historically outperformed other asset classes over the long term, they tend to
fluctuate over the short term as a result of factors affecting the individual companies, industries or
the securities market as a whole. Past performance of investments is no guarantee of future results.
Fixed Income Securities. Fixed-income securities provide periodic returns and the eventual return of
the principal at the end of the term. The value of fixed-income securities changes in response to
interest rate fluctuations and market perception of the issuer’s ability to pay off its obligations.
Fixed-income securities are also subject to the risk that their issuer may be unable to make interest
or principal payments on its obligations.
Foreign Investing Risk. Investments in overseas markets also pose special risks, including currency
14
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
fluctuation and political risks, and may be more volatile than that of a U.S. only investment. Such
risks are generally intensified for investments in emerging markets.
Small and Mid-Cap Company Risk. Stocks of mid-capitalization companies often have greater price
volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small-capitalization companies often experience greater price volatility than
large- or mid-sized companies because small-cap companies are often newer or less established than
larger companies and are likely to have more limited resources, products and markets. Securities of
small-cap companies are often less liquid than securities of larger companies as a result of there
being a smaller market for their securities.
Large-Cap Company Risk. Large-cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new
competitive challenges such as changes in technology, and also may not be able to attain the high
growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic
expansion.
Growth Investing Risk. Prices of growth company securities may fall more than the overall equity
markets due to changing economic, political or market conditions or disappointing growth company
earnings results. Growth stocks also generally lack the dividends of some value stocks that can
cushion stock prices in a falling market.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Financial planning services involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation
for a client based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may
encompass one or more of the following areas: investment planning, retirement planning, estate
planning, charitable planning, education planning and business planning.
Risk of Loss
There is a risk that financial planning will not result in achieving a client’s goals. Investing in
securities involves a significant risk of loss. KWM’s investment recommendations are subject to
various market, currency, economic, political, and business risks, and such investment decisions
may not always be profitable. There can be no assurance that the client’s investment objectives will
be obtained and no inference to the contrary should be made.
Private Fund – Risk of Loss
The private funds managed by Kingsbridge Investment Partners ( KIP) are unregistered pooled
investment vehicles. There are certain inherent risks associated with investing in private pooled
investment vehicles which include but are not necessarily limited to the following.
15
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
•
Private offerings often are speculative, high risk and illiquid investments. An investor
can lose his or her entire investment in a private offering.
•
Private offerings are generally not subject to same laws and regulations, which are
designed to protect investors, as registered securities offerings.
•
Private offerings typically have not been reviewed by a regulator to make sure risks
associated with the risks of private investments have been adequately disclosed to
prospective investors.
•
Private offerings often project higher rates of return, but this is typically because the
risks of the underlying the private investment are also higher.
•
Private offerings are generally illiquid, meaning there are limited opportunities to resell
the underlying security of the private placement. Therefore, an investor may be forced
to hold the private placement security indefinitely.
•
Investors in a private placement offering are usually provided with less disclosure
information than they would receive in a public security offering. Consequently,
investors know much less about the private placement investment and the people behind
it.
•
Before investing in a private placement offering, an investor should carefully read and
fully understand the subscription agreement and the offering memorandum/private
placement memorandum.
Diversification. Since the Fund’s portfolio will not necessarily be widely diversified, the investment
portfolio of the Fund may be subject to more rapid changes in value than would be the case if the
Fund were required to maintain a wide diversification among companies, securities and types of
securities. This limited diversity could expose the Fund to losses disproportionate to market
movements in general if there are disproportionately greater adverse price movements in the Funds’
investments. In addition, the losses could increase even further if the investments cannot be
liquidated without adverse market reaction or are otherwise adversely affected by changes in market
conditions or circumstances.
Investment Judgment; Market Risk. The profitability of a significant portion of the Fund’s
investment program depends to a great extent upon correctly assessing the future course of the price
movements of securities and other investments. There can be no assurance that KWM, or the
managers of other Investment Vehicles will be able to predict accurately these price movements.
With respect to the investment strategy utilized by the Fund, there is always some, and occasionally
16

Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
a significant, degree of market risk. Changing market and economic conditions may lead to investor
losses.
Reliance on Third Party Research. KIP, and the managers of other Investment Vehicles may rely on
research provided by unaffiliated third parties. The managers cannot and do not independently
verify the accuracy of or the assumptions or calculations underlying any research provided by third
parties.
Compensation of Managers. Managers of Investment Vehicles may receive compensation based on
the performance of their investments. Such compensation arrangements may create an incentive to
make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case if such arrangements
were not in effect. In addition, because performance-based compensation is calculated on a basis
which includes unrealized appreciation of the portfolio’s assets, such performance-based
compensation may be greater than if such compensation were based solely on realized gains.
Managers Investment Vehicles generally receive incentive compensation from Investment Vehicle,
as applicable, based on the performance of their portfolios. Therefore, it is possible that certain
such managers may receive incentive compensation, even though the Fund, as a whole, does not
have net capital appreciation.
Furthermore, KIP’s compensation arrangements with the Fund may create an incentive for KIP to
select managers that pursue strategies that are particularly risky or speculative.
Duplication of Expenses. Underlying Investment Vehicles in which the Fund invests may incur
organizational, tax, legal, accounting, investment, brokerage, custodial, interest and other expenses. In
addition to bearing its share of the expenses of the underlying Investment Vehicle.
Each underlying Investment Vehicle in which the Fund invests incurs organizational, tax, legal,
accounting, investment, brokerage, custodial, interest and other expenses. In addition to bearing its
share of the expenses of each underlying Investment Vehicle, the Fund incurs its own
organizational, tax, legal, accounting, investment, brokerage, custodial, interest and other expenses.
These underlying Investment Vehicle expenses may result in higher costs of investment than would
be the case if a limited partner of the Fund were to invest directly in the underlying Investment
Vehicles.
Use of Multiple Managers is No Assurance of Success. No assurance is given that the collective
performance of the managers of other Investment Vehicles will result in profitable returns for the
Funds as a whole under all or any conditions. The possibility exists that good performance achieved
by one or more managers may be neutralized by poor performance experienced by other managers
or by the Funds’ performance in individual securities or investments.
Illiquidity. The investments made by the Investment Vehicles may be very illiquid, and
consequently the Investment Vehicles may not be able to sell such investments at prices that reflect
17
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
the manager’s assessment of their value, or the amount paid for such investments. Illiquidity may
result from the absence of an established market for the investments as well as legal, contractual or
other restrictions on their resale by the Investment Vehicle and other factors. Furthermore, the
nature of the Investment Vehicle’s investments may require a long holding period prior to
profitability.
Derivatives. Derivative instruments, or “derivatives,” include futures, options, swaps, structured
securities and other instruments and contracts that are derived from, or the value of which is related
to, one or more underlying securities, financial benchmarks, currencies or indices. Derivatives allow
an investor to hedge or speculate upon the price movements of a particular security, financial
benchmark currency or index at a fraction of the cost of investing in the underlying asset. The value
of a derivative depends largely upon price movements in the underlying asset. Therefore, many of
the risks applicable to trading the underlying asset are also applicable to derivatives of such asset.
However, there are a number of other risks associated with derivatives trading. For example,
because many derivatives are “leveraged,” and thus provide significantly more market exposure
than the money paid or deposited when the transaction is entered into, a relatively small adverse
market movement can not only result in the loss of the entire investment but may also expose an
Investment Vehicle to the possibility of a loss exceeding the original amount invested. Derivatives
may also expose investors to liquidity risk, as there may not be a liquid market within which to
close or dispose of outstanding derivatives contracts, and to counterparty risk. The counterparty risk
lies with each party with whom an Investment Vehicle contracts for the purpose of making
derivative investments (the “Counterparty”). In the event of the Counterparty’s default, the
Investment Vehicle will only rank as an unsecured creditor and risks the loss of all or a portion of
the amounts it is contractually entitled to receive.
Leverage. Subject to applicable margin and other limitations, the Funds and other Investment
Vehicles may borrow funds in order to make additional investments and thereby increase both the
possibility of gain and risk of loss. Consequently, the effect of fluctuations in the market value of
the Funds’ portfolios would be amplified. Interest on borrowings will be a portfolio expense of the
borrowing entity and will affect the operating results of the Funds. Also, the Investment Vehicles
could potentially create leverage via the use of instruments such as options and other derivative
instruments.
Venture Capital Investment Risks. Venture capital investments refers to the investment of funds in
emerging companies and start up enterprises that are believed to have long term growth potential.
Venture capital investments are capital that is invested in companies and businesses which have
high element of risk associated with them. These risks could be related to profits, cash flow, market
fit, barriers to success, market trends, regulatory risk, dilution, reliance on third parties, conflict of
interests etc. Usually venture capital investment is invested in shares or equity which are
compensated with relatively higher rate of return for the higher degree of risk involved, which may
include loss of entire investment.

ITEM 9: DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Registered investment advisers such as KWM are required to disclose all material facts regarding
any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to a client’s prospective client’s evaluation of
KWM or the integrity of its management. KWM does not have any such legal or disciplinary events
in its history and therefore has no information to disclose with respect to this Item.
ITEM 10: OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Kingsbridge Investment Partners, LLC (KIP) serves as adviser to the following affiliated private
funds - Kingsbridge Venture I, LP, Kingsbridge Venture IV LP, Kingsbridge Venture V, LP, the
Kingsbridge Ventures RLF, LP and the Kingsbridge SPV II, LP, Kingsbridge BVVC, LP, and the
Kingsbridge Alternative Strategies Fund, LP
The general partner of the Funds have entered into an investment management arrangement with
KIP on behalf of the Fund. While this may be an interested party agreement, the material terms of
the investment management arrangement are fully disclosed to all investors in the Fund prior to
their investment.
KWM may recommend unaffiliated investment managers to its separately managed account clients.
However, KWM does not receive compensation from these other advisers nor does KWM have
other business relationships with such advisers that would create a conflict of interest.
ITEM 11: CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
A. Description of Code of Ethics
The Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), imposes a fiduciary duty
on all investment advisers to act in the best interest of their clients. Because KWM’s investment
professionals and associated persons may transact in the same securities for their personal accounts
as they may buy or sell for client accounts (as described below), it is important to mitigate conflicts
of interest. Accordingly, KWM has adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code”) in compliance with Rule
204A-1 under the Advisers Act. The Code establishes standards of conduct for KWM’s supervised
persons and includes general requirements that such supervised persons comply with their fiduciary
obligations to clients and applicable securities laws, and specific requirements relating to, among
other things, personal trading, conflicts of interest and confidentiality of client information. It is the
expressed policy of KWM that persons employed by KWM must at all times comply with the
following principles: (1) The Clients Come First (all persons shall scrupulously avoid serving their
personal interests ahead of the Clients of KWM); (2) Avoid Taking Advantage (persons may not
19
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
use their knowledge of open, executed, or pending portfolio transactions to profit by the market
effect of such transactions); and (3) Comply With the Code of Ethics (doubtful situations should be
resolved in favor of the Client).
The Code requires that certain of KWM’s personnel (called “Access Persons”) report their personal
securities holdings and transactions and obtain pre-clearance prior to investing in initial public
offerings or limited offerings.
The Code also requires supervised persons to report any violations of the Code promptly to the
Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). Each supervised person receives a copy of the Code and
any amendments to it and must acknowledge in writing having received the materials. Annually,
each supervised person must certify that he or she complied with the Code during that year. Clients
may receive a copy of KWM’s Code of Ethics by contacting the Chief Compliance Officer at (702)
947-5160.
B. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
An affiliate of KWM acts as general partner of the Funds and KWM may solicit managed account
clients to invest a portion of their portfolio in the Funds. Clients that invest in the Funds will not be
charged an advisory fee on any assets invested in the Funds in addition to the management fee and
performance allocation charged in connection with investment in the Funds.
C. Personal Trading
It is KWM’s policy that Access Persons must have personal trades approved by management
and if personal account trades occur on the same day in the same security as a client’s, it will be
done in a block trade or after the client’s trades, to ensure consistent pricing among access people
and clients. Trading done in personal retirement plan accounts must be approved management but
will not be included in block trades
ITEM 12: BROKERAGE PRACTICES
A. Factors in Selecting or Recommending Broker-Dealers
For separately managed accounts, KWM may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts
with Schwab Advisor Services, a division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a SEC
registered broker-dealer, member FINRA/SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect
trades for their accounts. KWM is independently owned and operated, and not affiliated with
Schwab. The final decision to custody assets with Schwab is at the discretion of the client. Schwab
provides KWM with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not
available to retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment
20
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
advisers on an unsolicited basis, at no charge as long the firm meets the minimums established by
Schwab. These services include brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities
transactions, custody, research, including that in the form of advice, analyses and reports, and
access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to
institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment.
For KWM client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge separately
for custody services but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other
transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are executed and settled through
Schwab.
Schwab also makes available to KWM other products and services that benefit KWM but may not
benefit all client accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or KWM specific
educational events. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of
personnel of KWM including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and
other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Other of
these products and services assist KWM in managing and administering clients’ accounts. These
include software and other technology (and related technological training) that provide access to
client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution
(and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing
information and other market data, facilitate payment of KWM’s fees from its clients’ accounts, and
assist with back-office training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of
these services generally may be used to service all or some substantial number of KWM’s accounts,
including accounts not maintained at Schwab. Schwab also makes available to KWM other services
intended to help KWM manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services may
include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on
practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance,
employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, insurance and marketing. In addition,
Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay vendors for these types of services rendered to
KWM by independent third parties. They may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for
some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to
KWM. While, as a fiduciary, KWM endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, KWM’s
recommendation/requirement that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based
in part on the benefit to KWM of the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and
other arrangements and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services
provided by Schwab, which will create a conflict of interest.
It is the policy and practice of KWM to strive for the best price and execution that is competitive in
relation to the value of the transaction (“best execution”). In order to achieve best execution, KWM
will use its best judgment to choose the broker-dealer most capable of providing the brokerage
services necessary to obtain the best overall qualitative execution. Although KWM will strive to
achieve the best execution possible for client securities transactions, this does not require it to solicit
21
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
competitive bids and KWM does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available commission
cost. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether
the transaction represents the overall best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full
range of a broker-dealer’s services, including among other things, the value of research provided,
execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. Consistent with the foregoing, while
KWM will seek competitive rates, it may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission
rates for client transactions. KWM is not required to negotiate “execution only” commission rates,
thus the client may be deemed to be paying for research and related services (i.e., “soft dollars”)
provided by the broker which are included in the commission rate.
To ensure that brokerage firms recommended by KWM are conducting overall best qualitative
execution, KWM periodically (and no less often than annually) evaluates the trading process and
brokers utilized. KWM’s considers the full range of brokerage services offered by the brokers,
which may include, but is not limited to price, commission, timing, research, aggregated trades,
capable floor brokers or traders, competent block trading coverage, ability to position, capital
strength and stability, reliable and accurate communications and settlement processing, use of
automation, knowledge of other buyers or sellers and administrative ability.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
KWM’s general policy is to comply with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (“Section 28(e)”) when entering into soft dollar arrangements. Section 28(e) recognizes
the conflict of interest involved in this activity, but generally allows investment advisers to use
client commissions to pay for certain research and brokerage products and services under certain
circumstances without breaching their fiduciary duties to clients. For these purposes, “research”
means services or products used to provide lawful and appropriate assistance to KWM in making
investment decisions for its clients. “Brokerage” services and products are those used to effect
securities transactions for KWM’s clients or to assist in effecting those transactions.
KWM may receive products and services other than execution (i.e., “soft dollars”) from broker-
dealers. These include software and other technology (and related technological training) that
provide research, pricing information and other market data. Many of these services generally may
be used to service all or some substantial number of KWM’s accounts, including accounts not
maintained at the broker providing such services. While, as a fiduciary, KWM endeavors to act in
its clients’ best interests, KWM’s recommendation/requirement that clients maintain their assets in
accounts at a particular broker may be based in part on the benefit to KWM of the availability of
some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements and not solely on the nature,
cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by a broker, which may create a conflict
of interest.
Research and other products and services purchased with soft dollars will generally be used to
22
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
service all of KWM’s clients, but brokerage commissions paid by one client may be used to pay for
research that is not used in managing that client’s portfolio, as permitted by Section 28(e). In other
words, there may be certain client accounts that benefit from the research services, which did not
make the payment of commissions to the broker-dealer providing the services.
Research and related services furnished by brokers may include, but are not limited to, written
information and analyses concerning specific securities, companies or sectors; market, financial and
economic studies and forecasts; financial publications; recommendations as to specific securities;
portfolio evaluation services; financial database software and services; computerized news, pricing
and statistical services; and discussions with research personnel, along with software, data bases
and other technical and telecommunication services utilized in the investment management process.
Research received by KWM under such soft dollar arrangements may include both proprietary
research (created or developed by the broker-dealer) and research created or developed by a third
party.
There may be cases when KWM may receive both non-research (e.g., administrative or accounting
services etc.) and research benefits from the services provided by broker-dealers. If and when this
happens, KWM will make a good faith allocation between the non-research and research portion of
the services received, and will pay “hard dollars” (i.e., KWM will pay from their own monies) for
the non-research portion. In making a good faith allocation between research services and non-
research services, a conflict of interest may exist by reason of KWM’s allocation of the costs of
such services and benefits between those that primarily benefit KWM and those that primarily
benefit clients. KWM strives to always put the clients’ interests first.
Using client transactions to obtain research and other benefits creates incentives that theoretically
could result in conflicts of interest between advisers and their clients. When KWM uses “soft
dollars” to obtain research products and services, it receives a benefit because it does not have to
produce or pay for the research products and services. The availability of these benefits creates the
potential incentive for KWM to select one broker-dealer rather than another to perform services for
clients, based on KWM’s interest in receiving the products and services instead of on its clients’
interest in receiving the best execution prices. Obtaining these benefits may cause clients to pay
higher fees than those charged by other broker-dealers who do not provide such benefits.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
KWM does not consider client referrals in selecting broker-dealers.
Directed Brokerage
While KWM generally recommends that clients establish brokerage accounts with a particular
broker to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts, the final decision
23
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
is at the discretion of the clients. If a client chooses to direct brokerage, KWM may be unable to
achieve the most favorable execution of client transactions and this practice may cost the client
more money.
B. Trade Aggregation and Allocation
Transactions for each client will be affected independently, unless KWM decides to purchase or sell
the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. KWM performs investment
management services for various clients, some of which may have similar investment objectives.
KWM may aggregate sale and purchase orders with other client accounts and proprietary
(employee) accounts that have similar orders being made at the same time, if in KWM’s judgment
such aggregation is reasonably likely to result in an overall economic benefit to the affected
accounts. Such benefits may include better transaction prices and lower trade execution costs.
KWM may (but is not obligated to) combine or “batch” such orders to obtain best execution, to
negotiate more favorable commission rates, or to allocate equitably among KWM’s client’s
differences in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might have been obtained had
such orders been placed independently. If all aggregate orders do not fill at the same price,
transactions will generally be averaged as to price and allocated among participating accounts pro
rata to the purchase and sale orders placed for each participating account on any given day. If such
orders cannot be fully executed under prevailing market conditions, KWM may allocate the
securities traded among participating accounts and each similar order in a manner which it
considers equitable, taking into consideration, among other things, the size of the orders placed, the
relative cash positions of each account, the investment objectives of the accounts, and liquidity of
the security.
ITEM 13: REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
A. Review of Accounts
All accounts are reviewed at least annually by the Investment Advisor Representative responsible
for the client’s account. The review is conducted to ensure that the mandates outlined in the Investor
Profile are followed. Furthermore, accounts will be reviewed in the following circumstances:
- When KWM’S investment strategy changes;
- When a client’s investment objectives or risk tolerance changes; and/or
- When there is a significant cash flow into or out of an account.
Other Reviews and Triggering Factors
In addition to the periodic reviews described above, reviews may be triggered by changes in an
account holder’s personal, tax or financial status. Other events that may trigger a review of an
24
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
account are material changes in market conditions as well as macroeconomic and company- specific
events. Clients are encouraged to notify KWM and its advisory representatives of any changes in
his/her personal financial situation that might affect his/her investment needs, objectives, or time
horizon.
B. Reports to Clients
Separately Managed Accounts
KWM provides separately managed account clients with monthly reports, which provide account
performance information and quarterly reports that detail the deduction of the advisory fee. The
custodian sends written monthly statements showing values of all securities held in the account over
the covered period and other related information. Clients are also sent confirmations following each
brokerage account transaction unless confirmations have been waived. Clients are urged to compare
the statements received from KWM to those received from the account custodian.
Private Funds
The Kingsbridge Alternative Strategies Fund, LP furnishes Fund investors monthly reports
reviewing the Fund’s performance for such month.
Kingsbridge Venture I, LP, Kingsbridge Venture IV, LP, Kingsbridge Venture V, LP and
Kingsbridge SPV II, LP and Kingsbridge BVVC, LP furnish investors quarterly reports and
quarterly capital statements reviewing the performance of the ventures for such quarter.
ITEM 14: CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
A. Economic Benefits Received
As stated in Item 12, we may allocate portfolio transactions to broker or dealers who provide
research and/or related services. For a more detailed discussion of such practices refer to Item 12.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Neither KWM nor any of its related entities or persons have any arrangement where it directly or
indirectly compensates any person for client referrals.
ITEM 15: CUSTODY
Client Managed Accounts
25
March 2025
Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
Under the Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-2 (the “Custody Rule”), KWM is deemed to have custody of
client funds or securities by reason of the fact that KWM has authority to debit its fees directly from
the client’s account and due to their bill pay service. KWM does not physically possess client funds
or securities. Custody of client assets will be maintained with an independent qualified custodian,
except for certain privately offered securities (such as interests in a limited partnership or other
pooled investment vehicle subject to annual audit), in which case ownership thereof is recorded
only on the books of the issuer. Clients should thoroughly consider, however, the differences
between having their assets custodied at a broker-dealer versus at a bank or trust company. Some of
these differences include, but are not limited to, custodian costs, trading issues, security of assets,
client reporting and technology.
Having custody presents a conflict which KWM has addressed by having an outside surprise audit
conducted (by a third-party accounting firm) along with filing the requisite forms with the SEC,
having an independent custodian and limiting access to the check books. The third-party surprise
audit is conducted on bill pay client assets, the Venture Funds and any other accounts deemed to be
under custody.
The custodian sends written monthly statements showing values of all securities held in each
client’s account over the covered period and other related information. Clients are also sent
confirmations following each brokerage account transaction unless confirmations have been
waived. Clients are urged to compare the statements received from KWM to those received from the
account custodian.
All clients will receive statements on at least a quarterly basis directly from the qualified custodian
that holds and maintains client’s assets. Clients are urged to carefully review all custodial
statements and compare them to the statements provided by KWM. KWM’s statements may vary
from custodial statements due to accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies
of certain securities.
26

Kingsbridge Wealth Management, Inc.
Form ADV Part 2A
Private Funds
While it is KWM/KIP’s practice not to accept or maintain physical possession of any client assets,
KIP is deemed to have custody of the Funds’ assets under the Custody Rule because it has the
authority to transfer funds and make payments on behalf of the ventures funds. In order to comply
with the Custody Rule, KIP utilizes the services of a bank or qualified custodian to hold all of the
Funds’ assets. In accordance with the Custody Rule, KIP also engages an outside auditor to conduct
a Surprise Audit of the accounts that KIP is deemed to have custody of.
Additionally, a separate financial statement audit is conducted annually of the Kingsbridge
Alternative Strategies Fund in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“GAAP”). The results of the Kingsbridge Alternative Strategies Fund audit are provided
to all investors in the fund within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year, once completed.
ITEM 16: INVESTMENT DISCRETION
KWM may only implement its investment management recommendations after the client has
arranged for and furnished KWM with all information and authorization regarding accounts with
appropriate financial institutions to act as custodian.
Generally, all asset management services are performed on discretionary basis. In exercising its
discretionary authority, KWM will normally determine: (1) the type of securities to be bought and
sold, (2) the dollar amounts of the securities to be bought and sold, (3) whether a client’s transaction
should be combined with those of other clients and traded as a “block,” and (4) the negotiated
commission rates and/or transactions costs paid to affect the transactions, without first obtaining
client’s permission for each transaction. Such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent
with each client’s stated investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon. In addition,
KWM’s authority to trade securities may be limited in certain circumstances by applicable legal and
regulatory requirements. Managed account clients are permitted to impose reasonable limitations on
KWM’s discretionary authority, including restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities. All such limitations, restrictions, and investment guidelines must be provided to KWM in
writing.
By signing KWM’s Investment Management Agreement, clients (both separately managed account
clients and the Funds) authorize KWM to exercise full discretionary authority with respect to all
investment transactions involving the client’s account. The Investment Management Agreement
grants KWM full discretion and sole authority to invest and reinvest all assets of the client’s
account in those securities, cash and/or other financial instruments in accordance with the client’s
stated investment guidelines and objectives and in accordance with KWM’s investment strategy
utilized for the account. Pursuant to such agreement, KWM is designated as the client’s attorney-in-
27

Form ADV Part 2A
fact with discretionary authority to effect investment transactions in the client’s account which
authorizes KWM to enter into agreements and execute any documents required to effect
transactions in the client’s account and to give instructions to third parties in furtherance of such
authority.
ITEM 17: VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
KWM does not vote proxies on behalf of Clients. We have determined that taking on the
responsibilities for voting client securities does not add enough value to the services provided to
you to justify the additional compliance and regulatory costs associated with voting client securities.
Therefore, it is your responsibility to vote all proxies for securities held in your account.
You will receive proxies directly from the qualified custodian or transfer agent; we will not provide
you with the proxies. You are encouraged to read through the information provided with the proxy-
voting documents and make a determination based on the information provided.
ITEM 18: FINANCIAL INFORMATION
KWM does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or
more in advance and therefore is not required to provide, and has not provided, a balance sheet.
KWM does not have any financial commitments that impair its ability to meet contractual and
fiduciary obligations to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
