ITEM 4 – ADVISORY BUSINESS
Koesten Hirschmann & Crabtree, Inc. dba Aspyre Wealth Partners is an investment adviser providing
financial planning, consulting, and investment management services. Prior to engaging Aspyre Wealth
Partners to provide any of the foregoing investment advisory services, the client is required to enter into
one or more written agreements with Aspyre Wealth Partners setting forth the terms and conditions
under which Aspyre Wealth Partners renders its services (collectively the “Agreement”). Neither Aspyre
Wealth Partners nor the client may assign the Agreement without the consent of the other party. A
transaction that does not result in a change of actual control or management of Aspyre Wealth Partners
is not considered an assignment.
Aspyre Wealth Partners was formed in 1996 and began advising clients in 1997. The owners of Aspyre
Wealth Partners are Matthew Starkey, Stewart Koesten, Lucas Bucl, and Jessi Chadd with Matthew
Starkey as the principal owner. Aspyre Wealth Partners has $669,262,255 of discretionary assets under
management as of December 31, 2024.
This disclosure brochure describes the business of Aspyre Wealth Partners. Certain sections will also
describe the activities of Supervised Persons. Supervised Persons are any of Aspyre Wealth Partners’
officers, partners, directors (or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar functions),
or employees, or any other person who provides investment advice on Aspyre Wealth Partners’ behalf
and is subject to Aspyre Wealth Partners’ supervision or control. Aspyre Wealth Partners is a fiduciary
and is required to act in a client’s best interest at all times.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Aspyre Wealth Partners may provide its clients with comprehensive financial planning and consulting
services (which may include non-investment related matters). These services vary, depending upon the
engagement:
Comprehensive Financial Planning Services
Aspyre Wealth Partners offers Comprehensive Financial Planning Services depending on a client’s
investable net worth and age. Under a Comprehensive Financial Planning engagement, Aspyre Wealth
Partners provides a review of the client’s financial and related situation and will prepare a detailed
Financial Planning Case Analysis (the “Analysis”). Aspyre Wealth Partners’ comprehensive financial
planning services also include the investment management services described below. Aspyre Wealth
Partners will conduct necessary interviews of the client to determine personal financial objectives and
in-depth examination and analyses of the client’s financial documents and situation. Aspyre Wealth
Partners reviews the client’s assets and liabilities, current and projected income and expenses,
insurance program and investment portfolio. An Analysis is developed, with a complete outline of many
aspects of the client’s current financial circumstances.
The Analysis is presented and fully explained to the client. A complete description of the various
recommendations and plan options available to the client for implementation are also included in the
Analysis.
During the Comprehensive Financial Planning engagement, Aspyre Wealth Partners conducts periodic
sessions, at least semi-annually, to review the client’s financial situation. Each review will typically focus
on a portion of the financial plan so that the entire plan is reviewed in detail over the course of a year.
The reviews include an interview to obtain current information and update segments of the Analysis as
needed. The update is presented to the client, along with new recommendations as needed. Planners
are available to provide counseling during the ongoing engagement and will contact the client
periodically to record progress.

Non-Comprehensive Financial Planning and Consulting Services
In addition to the comprehensive services described above, Aspyre Wealth Partners may also be
engaged to provide its clients with a broad range of non-comprehensive financial planning and
consulting services. In performing the planning and consulting services, Aspyre Wealth Partners is not
required to verify any information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals (e.g.,
attorney, accountant, etc.) and is expressly authorized to rely on such information. Aspyre Wealth
Partners suggests the services of itself, and/or other professionals to implement its recommendations.
Clients are advised that a conflict of interest exists if Aspyre Wealth Partners recommends its own
services. The client is under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by Aspyre
Wealth Partners under a financial planning or consulting engagement or to engage the services of any
such recommended professional, including Aspyre Wealth Partners itself. The client retains absolute
discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any of Aspyre Wealth
Partners’ recommendations. Clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify
Aspyre Wealth Partners if there is ever any change in their financial situation or investment objectives
for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising Aspyre Wealth Partners’ previous recommendations
and/or services.
Human Capital Services
In addition to the above, Aspyre Wealth Partners also offers Human Capital Services. These services
include executive coaching, career transition planning, career coaching, career path planning, and
compensation consulting.
Investment Management Services
Clients can engage Aspyre Wealth Partners to manage all or a portion of their assets on a discretionary
basis. Aspyre Wealth Partners offers this as a stand-alone service or as part of the Comprehensive
Financial Planning engagement described above. Aspyre Wealth Partners primarily allocates clients’
investment management assets among mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and individual
debt and equity securities in accordance with the investment objectives of the client.
Where appropriate, the Aspyre Wealth Partners may also provide advice about any type of legacy
position or other investment held in client portfolios. Aspyre Wealth Partners also may render non-
discretionary investment management services to clients relative to variable life products that they may
own, their individual employer-sponsored retirement plans, and/or 529 plans or other products that
may not be held by the client’s primary custodian. In so doing, Aspyre Wealth Partners either directs or
recommends the allocation of client assets among the various investment options that are available
with the product. Client assets are maintained at the specific insurance company or custodian
designated by the product.
Aspyre Wealth Partners tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of clients. Aspyre Wealth
Partners consults with clients initially and on an ongoing basis to determine risk tolerance, time horizon
and other factors that may impact the clients’ investment needs. Aspyre Wealth Partners ensures that
clients’ investments are suitable for their investment needs, goals, objectives and risk tolerance.
Clients are advised to promptly notify Aspyre Wealth Partners if there are changes in their financial
situation or investment objectives, or if they wish to impose any reasonable restrictions upon Aspyre
Wealth Partners’ management services.
In the event of trading errors caused by Aspyre Wealth Partners employees, it is Aspyre Wealth
Partners’ policy to make its clients whole and to document errors in its trade error file. If we make a
trade error that results in a loss to a client, we will make the client whole. If we make a trade error that
5
results in a gain to a client and the gain cannot be attributable to a particular client, then the Custodian
will keep the gain. In that case, if the gain is more than $100, the Custodian will donate the gain to
charity. If the gain is less than $100, the Custodian will keep the gain to minimize and offset its
administrative time and expense.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Aspyre Wealth Partners offers its services on a fee basis, which may include hourly fees, fixed fees, as
well as fees based upon assets under management or investable net worth (as defined below under
“Comprehensive Financial Planning Fee”).
Comprehensive Financial Planning and Advisory Services Fee
For those clients with an investable net worth of less than $500,000 or younger than 40 years old,
Aspyre Wealth Partners provides comprehensive financial planning, including investment advisory
services. The fee for these services is comprised of three components: (1) an initial fee of up to $2,000
for our Financial Planning Services, (2) a monthly fee in advance on the 5th of each month of $100 - $200
for continued Financial Planning Services, and (3) an annual fee of 1% of the market value of the
Portfolio for our Advisory Services, payable quarterly in advance. The Advisory Fee is calculated as a
percentage of the market value of the Portfolio on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar
month. The first installment of the monthly Planning Fee and the quarterly Advisory Fee is due and
payable the month of written acceptance of the agreement. Aspyre Wealth Partners’ annual fee is
exclusive of, and in addition to transaction fees and other related costs and expenses which are incurred
by the client. Aspyre Wealth Partners does not, however, receive any portion of these transaction fees
and costs.
Aspyre Wealth Partners’ fees for Financial Planning and investment advisory services are subject to
change at any time upon Aspyre Wealth Partners’ written notice to a client. Following such notice, a
client will be deemed to have approved such change in fees unless he or she sends a written notice of
objection to Aspyre Wealth Partners within 30 days.
Comprehensive Financial Planning and Investment Management Fee
For those clients with an investable net worth of more than $500,000 or older than 40 years old, Aspyre
Wealth Partners provides comprehensive financial planning (including investment management
services, or investment management services alone (without financial planning services) for an annual
fee based respectively upon a percentage of the client’s investable net worth or the market value of the
assets being managed by Aspyre Wealth Partners. Aspyre Wealth Partners’ annual fee is exclusive of,
and in addition to transaction fees and other related costs and expenses which are incurred by the
client. Aspyre Wealth Partners does not, however, receive any portion of these transaction fees and
costs.
Comprehensive Financial Planning Fee
For Comprehensive Financial Planning services, Aspyre Wealth Partners may charge clients based upon a
percentage of their investable net worth, which is equal to a client’s total assets minus personal use
assets minus investment debt. The total fee is calculated by applying a fee schedule rate to the client’s
investable net worth. The total fee is then bifurcated into (1) an asset management fee component and
(2) a financial planning fee component. The asset management fee component is calculated as a
percentage of the market value of the portfolio assets under management as described below in
“Investment Management Services.” The asset management fee component is billed quarterly, in
advance, based on the value of the portfolio on the last day of the preceding quarter. Thus, the asset
management fee component may vary with changes in the portfolio value. The financial planning fee
component is a fixed fee that is determined ordinarily by subtracting the estimated annual asset
management fee from the total fee. However, in certain instances, a client’s portfolio assets under
6
management may constitute all or a substantial portion of the client’s investable net worth such that
the asset management fee component would nearly replicate the total fee. In such instances, Aspyre
Wealth Partners imposes a minimum financial planning fee component. Please see Item 7 below for
detailed information about minimum fees for our Comprehensive Financial Planning services. The
financial planning fee is also billed quarterly, in advance.
The client’s investable net worth is determined annually by Aspyre Wealth Partners. Under this fee
arrangement, there is a conflict of interest in that the valuation is not independently determined.
Aspyre Wealth Partners has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its clients and will discuss the
valuation methodology used to determine the client’s investable net worth and portfolio value at the
client’s request. The annual total fee rate is subject to change with written notice, but generally varies
(between 0.50% and 1.20%) depending upon the investable net worth as follows:
INVESTABLE NET WORTH
First $500,000
$500,001 to $1,000,000
$1,000,001 to $5,000,000
$5,000,001 to $10,000,000
Above $10,000,000
BASE FEE
1.20%
1.00%
0.80%
0.60%
0.50%
Investment Management Services
Clients can also engage Aspyre Wealth Partners to provide investment management services without
any of the additional services discussed in the Comprehensive Planning section, above. Aspyre Wealth
Partners’ annual fee for investment management services alone is based upon the market value of the
portfolio assets on the last day of the preceding quarter. If your portfolio assets under management are
valued at less than $250,000, we may impose a minimum annual investment management fee of
$3,000. The investment management fee is billed quarterly, in advance and will be prorated for any
partial period in which services are provided. The annual fee rate is subject to change with written
notice, but generally varies (typically between 0.50% and 1.20%) depending upon the market value of
the assets under management, as follows:
BASE FEE
1.20%
1.00%
0.80%
0.60%
PORTFOLIO VALUE
First $500,000
$500,001 to
$1,000,000
$1,000,001 to
$5,000,000
$5,000,001 to
$10,000,000
Above $10,000,000
0.50%
Aspyre Wealth Partners’ fees for Comprehensive Financial Planning and investment management
services are subject to change at any time upon Aspyre Wealth Partners’ written notice to a client.
Following such notice, a client will be deemed to have approved such change in fees unless he or she
sends a written notice of objection to Aspyre Wealth Partners within 30 days. In addition, Aspyre
Wealth Partners, in its sole discretion, may negotiate to charge a lesser total annual fee based upon
certain criteria (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar
amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account
retention, pro bono activities, etc.).
7
Financial Planning and Consulting Fees
Aspyre Wealth Partners may charge a fixed fee and/or hourly fee for financial planning and consulting
services that fall outside of the Comprehensive Financial Planning services discussed above. These fees
are negotiable, but generally range from $50 to $300 on an hourly rate basis. Fixed fees are determined
based upon the amount of services to be provided. The hourly and fixed fees depend upon the level and
scope of the services and the professional rendering the financial planning and/or the consulting
services.
Prior to engaging Aspyre Wealth Partners to provide financial planning and/or consulting services, the
client is required to enter into a written agreement with Aspyre Wealth Partners setting forth the terms
and conditions of the engagement. Generally, Aspyre Wealth Partners requires one-half of the financial
planning / consulting fee (estimated hourly or fixed) payable upon entering the written agreement. The
balance is generally due upon delivery of the financial plan or completion of the agreed upon services.
Aspyre Wealth Partners, in its sole discretion, may negotiate to charge a lesser financial planning and
consulting services fee based upon certain criteria (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated
future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition,
pre-existing client, account retention, pro bono activities, etc.).
Fees Charged by Financial Institutions
As further discussed in response to Item 12 (below), Aspyre Wealth Partners generally recommends that
clients utilize the brokerage and clearing services of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) a FINRA
registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, for investment management accounts.
Aspyre Wealth Partners may only implement its investment management recommendations after the
client has arranged for and furnished Aspyre Wealth Partners with all information and authorization
regarding accounts with appropriate financial institutions. Financial institutions include, but are not
limited to Schwab, any other broker-dealer recommended by Aspyre Wealth Partners, broker-dealer
directed by the client, trust companies, banks etc. (collectively referred to herein as the “Financial
Institutions”).
Clients may incur certain charges imposed by the Financial Institutions and other third parties such as
custodial fees, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund or ETF in the account, which shall be disclosed
in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), 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. Such charges and fees are exclusive of and in addition to
Aspyre Wealth Partners’ fee.
Aspyre Wealth Partners’ Agreement and the separate agreement with any Financial Institutions
authorizes Aspyre Wealth Partners to debit the client’s account for the amount of Aspyre Wealth
Partners’ fee and to directly remit that management fee to Aspyre Wealth Partners. Any Financial
Institutions recommended by Aspyre Wealth Partners have agreed to send a statement to the client, at
least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the amount of management
fees paid directly to Aspyre Wealth Partners.
Fees for Management During Partial Periods of Service
For the initial period of investment management services, the fees shall be calculated on a pro rata
basis.
8
The Agreement between Aspyre Wealth Partners and the client will continue in effect until terminated
by either party pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Aspyre Wealth Partners’ fees are prorated
through the date of termination and any remaining balance is charged or refunded to the client, as
appropriate.
Additions may be in cash or securities provided that Aspyre Wealth Partners reserves the right to
liquidate any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a client’s account.
Aspyre Wealth Partners may consult with its clients about the options and ramifications of transferring
securities. However, clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they are subject
to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e. contingent deferred sales charge) and/or
tax ramifications.
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to Aspyre Wealth
Partners’ right to terminate an account. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to Aspyre
Wealth Partners, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However,
Aspyre Wealth Partners designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets
may impair the achievement of a client’s investment objectives. If assets are deposited into or
withdrawn from an account after the inception of a quarter that exceed $10,000, the fee payable with
respect to such assets will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the quarter.
ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
We do not charge performance-based fees nor do we engage in side-by-side management.
ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS
Aspyre Wealth Partners provides its services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
and other business entities.
Minimum Fee
For those clients with an investable net worth of more than $500,000 or older than 40 years old, Aspyre
Wealth Partners generally imposes a minimum annual total fee of $7,000 for Comprehensive Financial
Planning services, which includes a minimum annual financial planning fee component of $4,000. This
minimum fee may have the effect of making Aspyre Wealth Partners’ service impractical for clients that
are older than 40 with less than $300,000 in investable net worth. For those clients with less than
$250,000 in investable net worth, the firm charges a minimum fee of $3,000 that, in conjunction with
the minimum financial planning fee of $4,000, results in the computation of the $7,000 minimum total
annual fee. For Investment Management Services only, Aspyre Wealth Partners may impose a minimum
annual investment management fee of $3,000 for those portfolio assets under management valued at
less than $250,000. Aspyre Wealth Partners does not impose a minimum annual fee for its fixed/hourly
financial planning and consulting services that fall outside of the Comprehensive Financial Planning
services.
Aspyre Wealth Partners, in its sole discretion, may waive its minimum annual fees based upon certain
criteria including anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount
of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account retention,
and pro bono activities.
ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Aspyre Wealth Partners’ investment management style may have an impact on performance. Aspyre
Wealth Partners manages client portfolios using a combination of both active and passive management
styles, based on the belief that while passive (index-based) investment management is well-diversified
and effective in some parts of the markets some of the time, not all parts of all markets all the time are
9
well suited to the passive approach. In those areas Aspyre Wealth Partners deems as less efficient,
Aspyre Wealth Partners may pick stocks and bonds or may choose to try to pick those managers who
have successful track records in these areas.
Aspyre Wealth Partners has an Investment Committee that typically meets monthly, agendas are
maintained, and minutes are recorded. The Investment Committee reviews research material
presented, the Aspyre Wealth Partners Watch list, and discusses the current economic conditions.
Aspyre Wealth Partners primarily utilizes Modern Portfolio Theory as its method of analysis. Modern
Portfolio Theory, as recognized by the 1990 Nobel Prize, is the philosophical foundation for how client
portfolios are structured and how subsequent decisions are made. The philosophy is summarized as
follows:
1) Investors are risk averse. The only acceptable risk is that which is adequately compensated by
potential portfolio returns.
2) Markets are efficient. It is virtually impossible to anticipate the future direction of the market as
a whole or of any individual security. It is therefore, unlikely that any portfolio will succeed in
consistently “beating the market.”
3) The design of a client’s portfolio as a whole is more important than the selection of any
particular security within the portfolio. The appropriate allocation of capital among asset
classes will have far more influence on long-term portfolio results than the selection of
individual securities. Investing for the long term becomes critical to investment success because
it allows the long-term characteristics of the asset classes to surface.
4) For a given risk level, an optimal combination of asset classes will maximize returns.
Diversification helps reduce investment volatility. The proportional mix of asset classes
determines the long-term risk and return characteristics of the portfolio as a whole.
5) Portfolio risk can be decreased by increasing diversification of the portfolio and by lowering the
correlation of market behavior among the asset classes selected.
Aspyre Wealth Partners believes that investing globally helps to minimize overall portfolio risk due to
the imperfect correlation between economies of the world. Investing globally has also been shown
historically to enhance portfolio returns, although there is no guarantee that it will do so in the future.
Aspyre Wealth Partners believes that equities offer the potential for higher long-term investment
returns than cash or fixed income investments. Equities are, however, typically more volatile in their
performance. Investors seeking higher rates of return must increase the proportion of equities in their
portfolio, while at the same time accepting greater variation of results.
Aspyre Wealth Partners avoids trying to “beat the market” by picking individual securities and timing the
purchase or sale of investments. Aspyre Wealth Partners feels that such a practice is highly unlikely to
increase long-term investment returns and can significantly increase portfolio operating costs.
Given these tenets, the underlying approach to managing client assets shall be to optimize the risk-
return relationship appropriate to clients’ needs and goals. Client assets will be diversified globally
employing a variety of asset classes. Mutual funds will be employed to implement to portfolio and the
chosen asset classes will be periodically re-balanced to maintain a more consistent risk/reward profile.
In managing investment assets, every advisor has a unique style.
10
Risks
General Risks of Investing in Securities
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss. Clients should be prepared to bear such loss.
Mutual Funds and ETFs
An investment in a mutual fund or ETF involves risk, including the loss of principal. Mutual funds and
ETFs are subject to secondary market trading risks. Shares of mutual funds and ETFs will be listed for
trading on an exchange, however, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for such
shares will develop or continue. There can be no guarantee that a mutual funds’ and ETFs’ exchange
listing or ability to trade its shares will continue or remain unchanged. Shares of the mutual fund or ETF
may trade on an exchange at prices at, above or below their most recent net asset valuation (NAV),
which represents the price at which an investor would hypothetically buy or sell the mutual fund or ETF.
The per share NAV of a mutual fund is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with
changes in the market value of the mutual fund’s holdings. The trading prices of a mutual fund’s or
ETF’s shares may differ significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility, which may, among
other factors, lead to the mutual fund’s or ETF’s shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Please
review the prospectus for a list of the specific risks for each fund.
Market Risks
The profitability of a significant portion of Aspyre Wealth Partners’ recommendations may depend to a
great extent upon correctly assessing the future course of price movements of stocks and bonds. There
can be no assurance that Aspyre Wealth Partners will be able to predict those price movements
accurately.
Recommending Securities
In certain situations, we recommend investments in selected private placements or hedge
funds. These types of investments may present unique risks due to the use of leverage and
potential lack of liquidity. In addition, such recommendations may be limited only to those clients
that are termed as “Accredited Investors” as defined in Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940. These types of investments also have varied and unique fee structures of their own.
In the event we receive a portion of the fee charged from a third-party manager, the value of a
client’s assets invested with that manager will be removed from the asset based upon which
our fees are calculated and billed. Due to the unique and complex nature of these investments,
clients will receive a separate disclosure prior to any investments being made.
Aspyre Wealth Partners has a Compliance Committee that evaluates Aspyre Wealth Partners risk and
meets quarterly to review compliance related matters.
ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Aspyre Wealth Partners, nor anyone on our management team, have been, or is currently, subject to
any criminal, civil or disciplinary action.
ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Aspyre Wealth Partners offers accounting services, including tax preparation and payroll support. Clients
are under no obligation to acquire accounting services recommended by Aspyre Wealth Partners and
may acquire accounting services through any entity or person they desire.
11
ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
Aspyre Wealth Partners and persons associated with Aspyre Wealth Partners (“Associated Persons”) are
permitted to buy or sell securities that it also recommends to clients consistent with Aspyre Wealth
Partners’ policies and procedures.
Aspyre Wealth Partners has adopted a code of ethics that sets forth the standards of conduct expected
of its associated persons and requires compliance with applicable securities laws (“Code of Ethics”).
Aspyre Wealth Partners’ Code of Ethics contains written policies reasonably designed to prevent the
unlawful use of material non-public information by Aspyre Wealth Partners or any of its associated
persons. The Code of Ethics also requires that certain of Aspyre Wealth Partners’ personnel (called
“Access Persons”) report their personal securities holdings and transactions and obtain pre-approval of
certain investments such as initial public offerings and limited offerings.
When Aspyre Wealth Partners is engaging in or considering a transaction in any security on behalf of a
client, no Access Person may effect for themselves or for their immediate family (i.e., spouse, minor
children, and adults living in the same household as the Access Person) a transaction in that security
unless:
•
•
the transaction has been completed;
the transaction for the Access Person is completed as part of a batch trade (as defined below
in Item 12) with clients; or
• a decision has been made not to engage in the transaction for the client.
These requirements are not applicable to: (i) direct obligations of the Government of the United States;
(ii) money market instruments, bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper,
repurchase agreements and other high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase
agreements; (iii) shares issued by mutual funds or money market funds; and (iv) shares issued by unit
investment trusts that are invested exclusively in one or more mutual funds.
This Code of Ethics has been established recognizing that some securities trade in sufficiently broad
markets to permit transactions by Access Persons to be completed without any appreciable impact on
the markets of such securities. Therefore, under certain limited circumstances, exceptions may be made
to the policies stated above. Clients and prospective clients may contact Aspyre Wealth Partners to
request a copy of its Code of Ethics.
ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES
As discussed above, in Item 5, Aspyre Wealth Partners generally recommends that clients utilize the
brokerage and clearing services of Schwab.
Factors which Aspyre Wealth Partners considers in recommending Schwab or any other broker-dealer to
clients include their respective financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research and service.
Schwab enables Aspyre Wealth Partners to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and
other securities at nominal transaction charges. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by
Schwab may be higher or lower than those charged by other Financial Institutions.
The commissions paid by Aspyre Wealth Partners’ clients comply with Aspyre Wealth Partners’ duty to
obtain “best execution.” Clients may pay commissions that are higher than another qualified Financial
Institution might charge to effect the same transaction where Aspyre Wealth Partners determines that
the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received.
In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the
transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a
Financial Institution’s services, including among others, the value of research provided, execution
capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. Aspyre Wealth Partners seeks competitive rates but
may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions.
12
Transactions may be cleared through other Financial Institutions with whom Aspyre Wealth Partners
and the Financial Institutions have entered into agreements for prime brokerage clearing services.
Aspyre Wealth Partners periodically and systematically reviews its policies and procedures regarding its
recommendation of Financial Institutions in light of its duty to obtain best execution.
The client may direct Aspyre Wealth Partners in writing to use a particular Financial Institution to
execute some or all transactions for the client. In that case, the client will negotiate terms and
arrangements for the account with that Financial Institution, and Aspyre Wealth Partners will not seek
better execution services or prices from other Financial Institutions or be able to “batch” client
transactions for execution through other Financial Institutions with orders for other accounts managed
by Aspyre Wealth Partners (as described below). As a result, the client may pay higher commissions or
other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the
account than would otherwise be the case. Subject to its duty of best execution, Aspyre Wealth
Partners may decline a client’s request to direct brokerage if, in Aspyre Wealth Partners’ sole discretion,
such directed brokerage arrangements would result in additional operational difficulties.
Transactions for each client generally will be effected independently, unless Aspyre Wealth Partners
decides to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time.
Aspyre Wealth Partners 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 Aspyre Wealth
Partners’ clients differences in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might have been
obtained had such orders been placed independently. Under this procedure, transactions will generally
be averaged as to price and allocated among Aspyre Wealth Partners’ clients pro rata to the purchase
and sale orders placed for each client on any given day.
To the extent that Aspyre Wealth Partners determines to aggregate client orders for the purchase or
sale of securities, including securities in which Aspyre Wealth Partners’ Supervised Persons may invest,
Aspyre Wealth Partners shall generally do so in accordance with applicable rules promulgated under the
Advisers Act and no-action guidance provided by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. Aspyre Wealth Partners shall not receive any additional compensation or remuneration as
a result of the aggregation. In the event that Aspyre Wealth Partners determines that a prorated
allocation is not appropriate under the particular circumstances, the allocation will be made based upon
other relevant factors, which may include: (i) when only a small percentage of the order is executed,
shares may be allocated to the account with the smallest order or the smallest position or to an account
that is out of line with respect to security or sector weightings relative to other portfolios, with similar
mandates; (ii) allocations may be given to one account when one account has limitations in its
investment guidelines which prohibit it from purchasing other securities which are expected to produce
similar investment results and can be purchased by other accounts; (iii) if an account reaches an
investment guideline limit and cannot participate in an allocation, shares may be reallocated to other
accounts (this may be due to unforeseen changes in an account’s assets after an order is placed); (iv)
with respect to sale allocations, allocations may be given to accounts low in cash; (v) in cases when a pro
rata allocation of a potential execution would result in a de minimis allocation in one or more accounts,
Aspyre Wealth Partners may exclude the account(s) from the allocation; the transactions may be
executed on a pro rata basis among the remaining accounts; or (vi) in cases where a small proportion of
an order is executed in all accounts, shares may be allocated to one or more accounts on a random
basis.
Consistent with obtaining best execution, brokerage transactions may be directed to certain broker-
dealers in return for investment research products and/or services which assist Aspyre Wealth Partners
in its investment decision-making process. Such research generally will be used to service all of Aspyre
13
Wealth Partners’ 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. The receipt of investment research products and/or
services as well as the allocation of the benefit of such investment research products and/or services
poses a conflict of interest because Aspyre Wealth Partners does not have to produce or pay for the
products or services.
Software and Support Provided by Financial Institutions
Aspyre Wealth Partners may receive from Schwab, without cost to Aspyre Wealth Partners, computer
software and related systems support, which allow Aspyre Wealth Partners to better monitor client
accounts maintained at Schwab. Aspyre Wealth Partners may receive the software and related support
without cost because Aspyre Wealth Partners renders investment management services to clients that
maintain assets at Schwab. The software and support are not provided in connection with securities
transactions of clients (i.e., not “soft dollars”). The software and related systems support benefit Aspyre
Wealth Partners, but not its clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its clients, Aspyre Wealth Partners
endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that
Aspyre Wealth Partners’ receipt of economic benefits from a broker-dealer creates a conflict of interest
since these benefits influence Aspyre Wealth Partners’ choice of broker-dealer over another broker-
dealer that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. Aspyre Wealth Partners may
also receive a discount on PortfolioCenter® software service from Schwab so long as Aspyre Wealth
Partners maintains a minimum level of client assets at Schwab.
Additionally, Aspyre Wealth Partners may receive the following benefits from Schwab through its
institutional divisions: receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements;
access to a trading desk that exclusively services institutional participants; access to block trading which
provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to
client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network for client order entry and account
information.
Aspyre Wealth Partners may also receive other economic benefits in the form of educational
conferences and meetings and related materials sponsored by various mutual funds, insurance and
annuity companies and other vendors. Aspyre Wealth Partners may also receive monetary support for
technological, marketing and advertising needs from these entities which may be used towards Aspyre
Wealth Partners’ own client events. Clients are advised that a conflict of interest exists to the extent
Aspyre Wealth Partners recommends products of these mutual fund families, insurance annuity
companies or other vendors. However, the client is under no obligation to purchase these products, and
Aspyre Wealth Partners shall not receive any other form of compensation from the mutual fund
families, annuity companies or vendors for these events other than as set forth herein.
If we make a trade error that results in a loss to a client, we will make the client whole. If we make a
trade error that results in a gain to a client, and the gain can be attributed to a client, the client is
entitled to keep the gain. If Aspyre Wealth Partners makes a trade error that results in a gain to a client
and the gain cannot be attributable to a particular client, Schwab, and not Aspyre Wealth Partners,
keeps the gain. In that case, if the gain is more than $100, Schwab will donate the gain to charity. If the
gain is less than $100, Schwab will keep the gain to minimize and offset its administrative time and
expense.
ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Financial Planning: For those clients to whom Aspyre Wealth Partners provides Comprehensive Financial
Planning Services, financial planning reviews are conducted three times per year while the investment
management portfolios are reviewed on at least a quarterly basis. The reviewers of the Comprehensive
Financial Planning Services and the investment management portfolios are Matthew D. Starkey, Aspyre
14
Wealth Partners’ President and/or Stewart S. Koesten, Aspyre Wealth Partners’ Executive Chairman.
Investment Management: For those clients to whom Aspyre Wealth Partners provides only investment
management services (without any Comprehensive Financial Planning), Aspyre Wealth Partners
monitors those portfolios as part of an ongoing process with regular account reviews conducted on at
least a quarterly basis. Stewart S. Koesten and/or Matthew Starkey review investment management
clients’ portfolios.
All investment advisory clients are encouraged to discuss their needs, goals, and objectives with Aspyre
Wealth Partners and to keep Aspyre Wealth Partners informed of any changes thereto. Aspyre Wealth
Partners shall contact ongoing investment advisory clients at least annually to review its previous
services and/or recommendations and to discuss the impact resulting from any changes in the client’s
financial situation and/or investment objectives.
Unless otherwise agreed upon, clients are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular
summary account statements directly from the broker-dealer or custodian for the client accounts.
Investment management clients will also receive regular reports about their portfolio holdings and
trading activity as of the end of a reporting period, along with other relevant information via the client
portal. Clients should compare the account statements they receive from their custodian with those
they receive from Aspyre Wealth Partners.
Those clients to whom Aspyre Wealth Partners provides financial planning and/or consulting services
will receive reports from Aspyre Wealth Partners summarizing its analysis and conclusions as requested
by the client or otherwise agreed to in writing by Aspyre Wealth Partners.
ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Client Referrals
Aspyre Wealth Partners has entered into a promotion agreement with Wealthramp, Inc.
(“Wealthramp”), a registered investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Aspyre Wealth Partners pays Wealthramp for client referrals through its participation in
Wealthramp’s program. These fees paid to Wealthramp cause no variance in the fees charged to any
client. All fees will be disclosed at the time of the solicitation with the client.
Other Economic Benefits
In addition, Aspyre Wealth Partners is required to disclose any relationship or arrangement where it
receives an economic benefit from a third party (non-client) for providing advisory services. This type of
relationship poses a conflict of interest and any such relationship is disclosed in response to Item 12,
above.
ITEM 15 – CUSTODY
Aspyre Wealth Partners’ Agreement and/or the separate agreement with any Financial Institution may
authorize Aspyre Wealth Partners through such Financial Institution to debit the client’s account for the
amount of Aspyre Wealth Partners’ fee and to directly remit that management fee to Aspyre Wealth
Partners in accordance with applicable custody rules.
The Financial Institutions that act as the qualified custodian for client accounts, from which the Firm
retains the authority to directly deduct fees, have agreed to send statements to clients not less than
quarterly detailing all account transactions, including any amounts paid to Aspyre Wealth Partners. In
addition, as discussed in Item 13, Aspyre Wealth Partners also sends periodic supplemental reports to
clients. Clients should carefully review the statements sent directly by the Financial Institutions and
compare them to those received from Aspyre Wealth Partners.
15
Surprise Independent Examination
As Aspyre Wealth Partners is deemed to have custody over clients’ cash, bank accounts or securities
because Aspyre Wealth Partners has client passwords. Aspyre Wealth Partners is required to engage an
independent accounting firm to perform a surprise annual examination of those assets and accounts
over which it maintains custody. Any related opinions issued by an independent accounting firm are
filed with the SEC and are publicly available on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website.
Aspyre Wealth Partners does not have direct access to client funds as they are maintained with an
independent qualified custodian. Also, clients may have standing letters of authorization on their
accounts. Aspyre Wealth Partners has reviewed those relationships and determined that they meet the
IAA no action letter seven conditions and do not trigger the surprise custody audit.
ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Aspyre Wealth Partners is given the authority to exercise discretion on behalf of clients. Aspyre Wealth
Partners is considered to exercise investment discretion over a client’s account if it can affect
transactions for the client without first having to seek the client’s consent. Aspyre Wealth Partners is
given this authority through a power-of-attorney included in the agreement between Aspyre Wealth
Partners and the client. Clients may request a limitation on this authority (such as certain securities not
to be bought or sold). Aspyre Wealth Partners takes discretion over the following activities:
• The securities to be purchased or sold;
• The amount of securities to be purchased or sold;
• When transactions are made; and
• The Financial Institutions to be utilized.
ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Aspyre Wealth Partners is required to disclose if it accepts authority to vote client securities. Aspyre
Wealth Partners does not vote client securities on behalf of its clients.
ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Aspyre Wealth Partners is not required to disclose any financial information pursuant to this Item due to
the following:
• Aspyre Wealth Partners does not require or solicit the prepayment of more than $1,200 in
fees six months or more in advance of services rendered;
• Aspyre Wealth Partners does not have a financial condition that is reasonably likely to
impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients; and
• Aspyre Wealth Partners has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time
during the past ten years.
