ITEM 4 - ADVISORY BUSINESS
Marietta Wealth Management, LLC (“Marietta Wealth”) is a Georgia Limited Liability Company
organized in October 2015 as a fee-only investment adviser. We are registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as required by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Our main office is
located in Marietta, Georgia. We are 100% owned by private individuals. The individual ownership
members are Benjamin Crowe (10-25%), Wesley Hackney (10-25%), Charles Holloway III (10-
25%), and Scott Keller (25-50%). We have a business continuity plan in place that provides for
the loss of communications, office location, services, or key people.
Marietta Wealth provides various types of advisory services including wealth management, financial
planning, retirement plan consulting, and general consulting. These services are provided to
individuals, families, trusts and estates, pension and profit-sharing plans, and businesses entities.
Our services are made available to you primarily through individuals associated with Marietta
Wealth as Investment Advisor Representatives (“IARs”). For more information about the IAR
providing advisory services, you should refer to the Brochure Supplement for the IAR. Our
Brochure Supplements, or Form ADV Part 2Bs, are attached and is required to be provided to you
prior to or at the time you engage us. If you do not receive a Brochure Supplement, you should
contact our firm at info@mariettawealth.com.
Our IARs rely on information obtained from you and your other professionals (attorney, accountant,
real estate agent, insurance agent, private banker, trust officer, stockbroker, plan administrator,
investment committee, etc.). We do not verify information received from you or your professionals.
You are responsible for notifying us when there is any change in your financial situation and/or
objectives that would impact the recommendations or services we provide.
As of December 31, 2024, our firm managed approximately $927,627,622 in discretionary and
$46,747,465 in non-discretionary for a total of $974,375,087 in assets under management. We
have $463,411,581 in assets under advisement.
Wealth Management Program
You provide your investment goals and objectives to us to assist in establishing an appropriate
portfolio objective and suitable asset allocation. We obtain your goals and objectives through
meetings with you and/or your completion of a profile questionnaire. Your profile questionnaire
or your Riskalyze software generated investment policy statement will serve as a guide in managing
your account(s) with us.
We offer wealth management services to you through individually tailored investment options.
Your portfolio may consist of one or more accounts. Your portfolio is managed by a designated
IAR. You authorize us to purchase and sell an investment allocation that may consist of equity
(“stock”) positions, Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”),
Investment Company (“open and closed mutual funds”) products, along with a mix of fixed-
income/debt (“bond”) instruments that have been reviewed by our Investment Committee.
Your portfolio may include retirement account(s). When we provide investment advice to you
regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries withing
the meaning of Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(ERISA) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as applicable, which are laws governing
retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we
operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest
ahead of yours.
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
4
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflict of interest, fees, and investments;
•
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest
When providing recommendations to retirement plan accounts involving rollover considerations,
there are generally four options regarding an existing retirement plan account. An employee may
use a combination of those options, such as; (i) leave the funds in the former employer’s plan, if
permitted, (ii) roll over the funds to a new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are
permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account
value (which could, depending upon the individual’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). If
your designated IAR recommends that you rollover your retirement plan assets into an account to
be managed by Marietta Wealth, such recommendation creates a conflict of interest insofar as we
will earn an advisory fee on the rolled over assets. You are under no obligation to roll over
retirement plan assets to an account managed by us.
Some client’s investment portfolios include Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) as part of their
overall allocation strategy. SMAs are not part of our current allocation strategies, however they
were provided to existing clients through Schwab’s managed account offerings. The Schwab
Managed Account Select program uses Schwab’s Center for Financial Research (a division of
Schwab) to research money managers and their investment strategies and provides information to
us. We then help the client decide whether the Select program and available money managers are
suitable for them. The program bundles research, Schwab’s brokerage, custodial and client
reporting fees under a single, all-inclusive fee. Assets with Schwab Managed Account Select
Program are charged a program fee (wrap program) as detailed in the Schwab Managed Account
Select application and agreement. Schwab Managed Account Marketplace is a managed account
platform. Schwab does not provide research on money managers available under this platform.
However, some of the money managers available on this platform are also available under the
Select program. The service provided on this platform are unbundled, meaning fees for Schwab’s
execution and custodial services are not combined with the money manager fees, which are
negotiated with the individual money manager and are based on the type of assets and total under
management. In both SMA offerings a separate fee is charged by us for monitoring and consulting
on the portfolio. These services are offered under our advisory agreement and Schwab managed
account offerings.
Accounts are held in your name at an independent custodian which may include Charles Schwab
& Company, Inc. (“Schwab”), TD Ameritrade, or Interactive Brokers, LLC. Account statements are
provided to you directly from your account custodian. We will provide periodic performance reports
to you. The details of the account relationship are stated in your Advisory Agreement and the
custodian’s account application.
Wealth management services includes financial planning upon your request and subject to the
Wealth Management Program’s $500,000 assets under management minimum.
Financial Planning Service
We offer personal financial planning services. All forms of financial planning include a mutually
defined review, analysis, and evaluation of your personal financial needs and goals. In general,
our financial planning may encompass one or more of the following areas.
5
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
Retirement Planning
Investment Planning
Real Estate Planning
Insurance Planning
Marital/Divorce Planning
Education Planning
Taxes and Cash Flow Planning
Survivor and Beneficiary Planning
Estate Planning
We gather information through in-depth interviews and related meetings. Information gathered
includes your current financial situation, planning activities, future goals and objectives. We
assume that the information received from you or from other professionals is complete and
accurate.
We offer consulting services on topics not related to investment management or financial planning
that may include a written analysis or report at your request as part of our consultation.
You receive an analysis of your current situation and recommendations to address your goals and
objectives. Financial planning recommendations are implemented at your discretion. You are
under no obligation to implement recommendations. We recommend you work closely with your
attorney, accountant, real estate agent, insurance agent, private banker, trust officer, or other
professionals as appropriate in implementing recommendations. At your request, we may
recommend other professionals to assist you. Other professionals are engaged directly by you.
Our IARs have established business relationships with other professionals that they may
recommend to you. Our IARs will disclose existing relationships to you which, at times, may present
a conflict of interest. We monitor potential conflicts of interest with our IARs and other
professionals by maintaining records on their receipt of gifts, and business entertainment.
Retirement Plan Service
We are deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit plans or individual
retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Securities Act
(“ERISA”), and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), respectively.
As such, we are subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the Code that include
among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation. We provide investment
management and advisory services to sponsors of qualified retirement plans. Our services are
tailored, in part, on whether the plan is Trustee Directed, where the trustee makes all the
investment decisions for the plan’s assets, or Participant Directed, where the participant exercises
independent control over the investment of their individual account (self-directed account). We
offer these investment advisory services on either a “non-discretionary” basis (serving as a limited-
scope 3(21) fiduciary) or on a “discretionary” basis (serving as a 3(38) investment manager) as
defined under ERISA. In either role, we provide specific investment advice to you with regard to
the selection of investment manager(s) and/or investment alternatives available to the Plan within
the platform provided by the Plan’s custodian. The services that we provide to each Plan may vary
depending on the needs and/or desires of the Plan’s trustees and participants. The scope of
services that might be offered are listed below.
Participant Directed plans offering include 3(21) services
Limited-scope 3(21) Fiduciary services include, but are not limited to, development of investment
policy statement, recommendations for selecting and monitoring Plan investments, investment
performance measurement and analysis, recommendations for selecting and monitoring Qualified
Default Investment Alternatives, and periodic meetings with plan sponsor. Plan assets associated
with our 3(21) services are listed as assets under advisement stated above.
Trustee and Participant Directed plans offering include 3(38) services

investments,
3(38) Investment Manager services include, but are not limited to, development of investment
policy statement, selecting and monitoring Plan
investment performance
measurement and analysis, selecting and monitoring Qualified Default Investment Alternatives.
Non-Fiduciary ERISA services include, but are not limited to, participant education and
communication, assistance with fiduciary oversight and committee education, and assistance with
selection and management of service providers.
ITEM 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
Wealth Management Program Fees
Fees are billed quarterly per household and paid in advance. The fee is calculated based on the
aggregate market value of your portfolio (including all accounts in your household) on the last
business day of the previous calendar quarter multiplied by one-fourth the corresponding annual
percentage rate for each portion of your portfolio assets that fall within each fee tier. For new
accounts opened in mid-quarter, our fee is based upon a pro-rated calculation of your assets to be
managed for the current quarterly period.

Tiered Fee Rates

Up to $1,000,000
$1,000,001 - $2,000,000

Fee

0.90%
0.80%
0.70%
0.60%
0.50%
The management fee within each tier is negotiable on a client-by-client basis depending on size,
complexity, and nature of the assets managed. We have a $5,000 minimum annual fee
requirement ($1,250 billed quarterly), which may be waived or reduced if negotiated. Portfolio
values that fall below $500,000 will be subject to this minimum annual fee which can cause your
fee to exceed our annual tiered fee rate of 1.00% (e.g., a managed portfolio of $250,000 with a
minimum annual fee charge of $5,000 will translate into an annual fee rate of 2.00%).
Fees are deducted from your managed account at the qualified custodian. We facilitate the billing
process. Fees will be deducted first from any money market funds or cash balances. If such assets
are insufficient to satisfy payment of such fees, a portion of the portfolio assets will be liquidated
to cover the fee. You must consent in advance to direct debiting of your fees from your managed
accounts. Custodians deliver your account statements at least quarterly directly to you. Account
statements show all disbursements from your account. You are encouraged to review your account
statements for accuracy. We will receive electronic access or duplicate copies of your account
statements. In instances where direct debit is not obtained, you will be invoiced the management
fee.
Your individually managed accounts, or third party program accounts, may incur additional charges
and fees imposed by third parties. Third parties include custodians, mutual funds, and investment
managers. These expenses are in addition to our management fee. Charges vary by third party,
type of account, size of account, volume of activity, and type of investment. They are described
in the custodian account agreements, investment prospectuses, and plan documents. Charges
may include:
• Transaction charges for trade execution
• Mutual fund or money market 12b-1 and sub-transfer agent fees
• Mutual fund and money market management fees and administrative expenses
7
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
IRA and qualified retirement plan servicing fees
• Mutual fund transaction fees
• Administrative servicing fees for trust accounts
• Other custodial transaction charges and service fees outlined in the account agreement
•
• Other charges required by law
We do not receive any portion of these charges or fees. Portfolio management services may cost
more, or less, if provided by another investment advisor.
You may terminate the Advisory Agreement within five business days of execution without penalty
and receive a full refund of fees paid. Asset management services may be terminated by either
party. Termination occurs thirty days after receipt of a written notice by the other party. In the
event termination does not fall on the last day of the billing cycle, you will be entitled to a pro-
rated refund of any prepaid quarterly management fee based on the number of days remaining in
the billing cycle.
Financial Planning Service Fee
Fees are negotiable and vary by client depending on the scope of the engagement, complexity of
services requested, the nature of your personal and financial situation, and any other factors that
may affect the performance or delivery of the desired service. Your fee is stated in the Financial
Planning Agreement. Our financial planning service fee typically ranges from $0 to $10,000. Our
hourly fee for consulting on topics not related to asset management or financial planning
engagements will not exceed $350 an hour. We will invoice you for services and your payments
will be made to Marietta Wealth Management, LLC.
You may terminate your Financial Planning service without penalty within five days of executing a
Financial Planning Agreement. After the five day period, you may terminate your Financial Planning
Agreement at any time and receive a refund of unearned fees, if any. Your Financial Planning
Agreement terminates once the financial plan has been completed and presented to you.
Retirement Plan Service Fee
If Marietta Wealth Handles Billing
Fees are billed quarterly per account and paid in advance. The fee is calculated based on the
included assets of your account on the last business day of the previous calendar quarter multiplied
by one-fourth of the corresponding annual percentage rate for your included assets balance. For
new plans opened in mid-quarter, our fee is based upon a pro-rated calculation of your included
assets to be managed for the current quarterly period. We do not make partial refunds of our
quarterly fee for plan withdrawals made during the calendar quarter. Terminated plans are entitled
to a prorated refund of any pre-paid quarterly fee based upon the number of days remaining in
the billing quarter.
For Participant Directed ERISA retirement plans, the top annual fee is 1.00% for ERISA 3(21)
services and 1.10% for ERISA 3(38) services. For Trustee Directed ERISA plans see the Asset
Management Tiered Fee Rate schedule shown in the Wealth Management Fees section above. The
retirement plan fee is negotiable on a client-by-client basis depending on size of the plan and
services provided. We have a $5,000 minimum annual fee requirement ($1,250 billed quarterly),
which may be waived or reduced if negotiated. Retirement plans with included assets that fall
below $500,000 may be subject to this minimum annual fee which can cause your fee to exceed
our annual tiered fee rate when applicable (e.g., a account balance of $250,000 with a minimum
annual fee charge of $5,000 will translate into an annual fee rate of 2.00%).
Fees may be direct billed to the Client or the custodian per the Plan Client’s instructions.
8
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
If the Recordkeeper Handles Billing
If the plan Recordkeeper is responsible for handling the billing they will use the above annual
retirement plan service fee, however advisory fees may be billed in advance or arrears on a monthly
or quarterly basis. In addition, the calculation of the advisory fee may be different than disclosed
here depending on the Recordkeeper the Plan uses. Such billing structure will be disclosed under
a separate billing agreement with the Recordkeeper. In the event the Plan terminates before our
fees are deducted and paid by the Recordkeeper, we will bill the Plan Sponsor on a prorated basis
for the services provided prior to termination.
Our fees are exclusive of other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the
Retirement Plan. For example, Plans may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers,
investments and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, recordkeeping/custodial
fees, sales charges, redemption fees, transaction fees, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and
other fees and/or taxes. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal
management fees and expenses which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees,
and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to our fee. We do not receive a portion of these
charges or fees. Retirement Plan services may cost more, or less, if provided by another investment
advisor.
You may terminate your Retirement Plan Services without penalty within five days of executing an
Agreement and receive a full refund of fees paid. Retirement services may be terminated by either
party. Termination occurs thirty days after receipt of a written notice by the other party. In the
event termination does not fall on the last day of the billing cycle, you will be entitled to a pro-
rated refund of any prepaid advisory fee based on the number of days remaining in the billing
cycle.
ITEM 6 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
We do not charge fees based on a share of capital gains or the capital appreciation of the assets
held in your accounts. This item is not applicable.
ITEM 7 - TYPES OF CLIENTS
We provide advisory services to individuals, families, trusts, and estates. Services may extend to
entities related to you, such as business entities, partnerships, charitable organizations, retirement
accounts and retirement plans.
We do not require a minimum account size; however our services do have a minimum fee (See
Item 5 Fees and Compensation). Refer to the third party manager disclosure documents for
information on minimum account size requirements or any other conditions for SMAs.
ITEM 8 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RISK OF LOSS
Methods of Analysis
We utilize the following sources of information for analysis and recommendations:
Fund prospectuses
Financial newspapers and magazines
• Morningstar reports
•
•
• Research prepared by third parties
• Corporate ratings services
• Company filings
We utilize an Investment Committee (IC). The IC governs the investment advisory process. IC
members participate in conference calls, industry conferences, and meetings with fund and
investment portfolio managers. IC makes general recommendations regarding asset allocation,
mutual funds, ETFs, REITs and other investments. IC also constructs asset allocation model
strategies and provides recommendations on the securities to populate these models. Your
9
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
Investment Adviser Representative will use IC guidance to construct an investment strategy specific
to your needs. It is important to note that no methodology or investment strategy is guaranteed
to be successful or profitable.
For Retirement Plan clients each plan is analyzed separately paying particular attention to
investment limitations as determined by the Plan documents, the Plan’s current service
providers/platform, and current platform architecture. In general, we use the same method of
analysis for retirement plan clients as we do for non-retirement plan clients.
Investment Strategies
We obtain detailed financial and other pertinent information from you. The investment strategy
for you is based upon your financial goals and objectives. You may change these objectives at any
time.
We will use a customized asset allocation strategy for your investment account. We provide advice
on securities such as Investment Company (“mutual funds”) products, Exchange-Traded Funds
(“ETFs”), Separately Managed Accounts (“SMAs”), fixed-income/debt (“bond”) instruments, Real
Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), limited partnerships, and equity (“stock”) positions. Various
investments are utilized when opportunities exist.
Mutual Fund Share Class Disclosure
We will seek to determine the most advantageous share class available to you. While institutional
share classes are usually the lowest cost alternative, under certain circumstances you may be better
served to pay a higher annual expense ratio and avoid a transaction fee on each trade. When
selecting a mutual fund for your advisory account, we have a fiduciary duty to select the share
class that helps manage the overall fee structure of your account. We will perform an analysis to
determine which class is most beneficial to you. We will review mutual fund positions that you
may transfer “in kind” to be included in the assets managed by us. We will advise you as to
alternatives available to you regarding share classes if available. We recognize that in some
situations alternative share classes may not be available such as in 401k plans that limit the array
of investments or funds that require certain investment amounts, or custodial platforms that do
not provide alternative classes.
Mutual Fund Legacy Holdings
When you transfer assets into a managed account, we will review your mutual fund holdings. If a
holding is not one of our recommended funds, the mutual fund will generally be sold unless you
need to avoid a taxable gain or direct us to hold the position. In some circumstances, if the legacy
holding fits into the asset allocation of your portfolio, it may be held going forward. If we determine
it is in your best interest to convert to an alternative share class and the position meets the
minimum investment and eligibility criteria, we will place instructions for the custodian to convert
the position on its next available share class conversion date.
Risk of Loss
We do not represent, warrant, or imply that the services or methods of analysis employed by us
can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate you from
losses due to market corrections or declines. Investment risks involve the following:
Liquidity risk: inability to buy or sell an investment
• Systematic Risk: market or economic factors
Interest Rate Risk: change in value and yield
•
Inflation Risk: loss of value or buying power
•
• Currency Risk: loss due to monetary exchange rates with international investments
•
• Sociopolitical Risk: instability in regions of the world can affect investment markets
10
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
• Management Risk: impact of bad company management decisions
• Credit Risk: default risk on borrowing
• Assessment Risk: ability to understand, determine and evaluate an investment
In addition to general risks associated with investing, certain products also have additional risks.
Closed-End Funds
Closed-end funds (CEFs) are investment vehicles actively managed by investment advisors. They
are distinguished by their unique features and benefits. Shares of CEFs are created through an
initial public offering (IPO), after which they trade on an exchange, similar to stocks. As a result of
trading on an exchange, CEFs will have both a market price and a net asset value (NAV). Market
prices fluctuate based on supply and demand and typically trade above (premium) or below
(discount) the fund’s NAV. The primary negative effect of the closed-end structure is the possibility
of illiquidity. Since shares cannot be purchased or sold directly through the fund company, there
are limitations on trading volume. If an order is placed that would materially increase the day’s
trading volume above the average, the price rises to correct this increase in demand. Likewise, if
an investor wishes to sell an unusually large number of shares, the price will drop to a level where
there are enough investors willing to purchase this large number of shares. The potential effect of
reduced liquidity is that CEFs can experience share price volatility above that of mutual funds.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
ETFs are typically investment companies that are legally classified as open-end mutual funds or
unit investment trusts. However, they differ from traditional mutual funds in that ETF shares are
listed on a securities exchange. Shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like
shares of other publicly-traded companies. ETF shares may trade at a discount or premium to their
net asset value. This difference between the selling and buying price is often referred to as the
“spread.” The spread varies over time based on the ETF’s trading volume and market liquidity.
The spread is generally lower if the ETF has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity. Although
many ETFs are registered with the Investment Company Act of 1940 like traditional mutual funds,
some ETFs, in particular those that invest in commodities are not registered as an investment
company. Certain ETFs may be subject to unique tax consequences such as K-1 tax reporting and
tax treatment for collectibles.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
REITs are typically investments in large-scale, income producing real estate. A REIT is a company
that owns and typically operates income-producing real estate or related assets such as office
buildings, shopping malls, apartments, hotels, warehouses, and mortgages or loans. Unlike other
real estate companies, a REIT does not develop real estate properties to resell them. Instead, a
REIT buys and develops properties primarily to operate as part of an investment portfolio. Many
REITs are registered with the Securities Exchange Commission and can be offered publicly through
the stock exchange (exchange-traded) or not publicly offered (non-exchange traded). Depending
on the type of offering, REITs can involve special risks such as lack of liquidity, transparency in
share value, and method used to pay distributions.
ITEM 9 - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding legal,
disciplinary, or financial events that would be material to your evaluation of us or the integrity of
our management. We have no reportable disciplinary history information applicable to this item.
ITEM 10 - OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Benjamin H. Crowe, one of our Managing Members, is a certified public accountant and a Managing
Member of Ben H. Crowe, C.P.A, LLC, a full service CPA firm providing tax and accounting services
11
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
to individuals and businesses. The services provided through Ben H. Crowe, C.P.A., LLC are
separate and distinct from the services of Marietta Wealth. Mr. Crowe devotes approximately 25%
of his available time to Ben H. Crowe, C.P.A., LLC depending on the needs of his accounting clients
and the time of year. In addition, investment adviser representative, Lisa Garris, provides support
to Ben H. Crowe, C.P.A. LLC. Her accounting work is performed separately and distinct from
investment advisory services provided by Marietta Wealth.
Referrals to, from, and between us and Ben H. Crowe, C.P.A., LLC can create a potential conflict
of interest. Mr. Crowe, as a managing member of both entities, has the ability to influence
investment and accounting activities by keeping them all in-house. If this occurs it can benefit Mr.
Crowe in receiving additional personal revenues. We recommend that when engaging Mr. Crowe’s
professional services, you should consider this affiliated conflict and that comparable or equivalent
services may cost more or less if received through an independent option.
ITEM 11 - CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND
PERSONAL TRADING
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that establishes the fundamental principles of conduct and
professionalism expected by all personnel in discharging their duties. Our Code requires that we
conduct all business dealings in an ethical fashion, and encourages us to meet not only the technical
requirements but also the spirit of the Code. We have a duty of care, loyalty, and honesty. We
must act in your best interest. Our Code requires us to comply with all federal securities laws. In
addition, we are prohibited from defrauding, misleading, or manipulating you in providing our
services. Further, we may not favor the interests of one client over another.
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to you upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
We are prohibited from investing with you or any client in a private business interest or other non-
marketable investment unless prior approval has been obtained from our Chief Compliance Officer.
We are prohibited from acting upon insider trading information and may not share any non-public
information regarding securities with anyone.
Personal Trading
We have implemented guidelines regarding personal securities transactions, designed to prevent
us from profiting personally, directly or indirectly, as a result of knowledge about a security or
transactions. We are prohibited from acquiring securities in an initial public offering without prior
written approval. We may at times buy or sell securities that are also held by you. Your orders
are given priority over ours. Our personal trading is reviewed by our Chief Compliance Officer.
ITEM 12 - BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Custodial Services
We have established custodial relationships with Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. (“Schwab”), TD
Ameritrade (“TD”), and Interactive Brokers, LLC. All are licensed broker-dealers and members of
FINRA and SPIC. These firms offer us services that include custody of securities, trade execution,
clearance, and the settlement of transactions.
We recommend you establish accounts with Schwab, TD, or Interactive Brokers. We are not
affiliated with the custodians. Schwab, TD, and Interactive Brokers generally do not charge
separately for custody. They are compensated by you through commissions or other transaction-
related fees from trades executed on their trading platforms or settled in your account. We
12
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
evaluate the firms’ brokerage based on execution services, investment offering and quality of
service. Schwab, TD, and Interactive Brokers also make available to us other products and services
that benefit us but may not benefit your accounts. These other services include:
Investment research, pricing information and market data
• Access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements)
• Trade execution software
•
• Direct debit of fees from accounts
• Recordkeeping (account paperwork, trade memorandums and statements)
• Practice management consulting, publications, and conferences
These services are available to us on an unsolicited basis. They are intended to help manage and
develop our advisory business.
Soft Dollar Practices
We do not receive soft dollar benefits from account custodians. We have implemented a policy
that requires approval, reporting, and monitoring of soft dollar benefits.
Directed Brokerage
We will evaluate the use of any broker-dealer not mentioned above on a case-by-case basis. If
you direct us to use a particular broker-dealer not mentioned above, we may not be able to achieve
best execution such as negotiated commissions. Commissions charged may be more or less than
those charged to other clients.
Third party manager disclosure documents provide information on their brokerage
recommendations and practices. We do not recommend broker dealers for third party accounts.
Trade Aggregation
Since your account is managed individually, we do not aggregate your trades with others. Mutual
fund trades do not provide an aggregation benefit. In transactions where zero trade costs are
unavailable, non-aggregated trades in equity stocks may result in your paying higher brokerage
fees. Under certain circumstances such as security trading volume, number of clients involved,
and/or the financial instrument; we may aggregate (bunch) orders provided they seek to achieve
best execution and do not systematically advantage or disadvantage a client.
ITEM 13 - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Your IAR reviews your account on an on-going basis to monitor its performance with your stated
investment objectives and guidelines. Cash needs will be adjusted as necessary.
We encourage you to review with us your investment strategies and account performance on an
annual basis. Material changes in your financial situation, the general economy, or tax law changes
can trigger more frequent reviews. It is your responsibility to notify us of any changes in your
financial situation or circumstances that would materially impact the recommendations or services
we provide.
ITEM 14 - CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Client Referrals
We compensate third parties for client referrals. When a prospect is referred to us by a
compensated third party, it will be disclosed at the time of the referral. We also provide additional
information describing the nature of our arrangement with the third party. A third party, if they
are paid more than $1,000 over a 12-month period, must have a written agreement to receive
compensation from us for referrals. Per our agreements, third parties are compensated only after
13
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
a prospect becomes a client of ours by executing our client agreement. Third parties are paid a
percentage of our collected advisory fee as specified in their agreements. A referred client pays
no additional fee for the referral; to the contrary, the fee we earn is reduced by the amount paid
to the third party. Clients may request details regarding a particular third party’s referral agreement
by contacting us at the contact information provided on the first page of this document.
Other Compensation
Although as part of our planning services we may recommend other professionals to provide
services or transact suggested financial or investment product sales, such as insurance, you are
under no obligation to use the professionals we recommend to you. These professionals may
receive normal and customary compensation for their services to you. We are do not share in or
accept compensation from other professionals with respect to the services or recommendations
they provide to you.
We, our employees, and IARs may receive additional compensation from advisory product sponsors
and other professionals. Such Compensation may include gifts valued at less than $100 annually
or occasional business entertainment such as a dinner, a ticket to a sporting event, or
reimbursement in connection with education or training meetings. Our employees are required to
report their gifts and business entertainment as part of our firm’s policies and procedures.
ITEM 15 - CUSTODY
Custody is defined as holding, directly or indirectly, client funds or securities, or having any
authority to obtain possession of them. Since all client funds and securities are maintained with
a qualified custodian, we do not take physical possession of any client assets. However, under
current interpretations of applicable SEC rules, our firm is deemed to have constructive custody
of certain client assets due to authority granted us through standing letters of authorization, the
direct debit of fees from client accounts, or other similar authorizations. Clients will receive at
least quarterly statements directly from their account custodian(s). In order to ensure that all
account transactions, holdings and values are correct and current, we urge clients to carefully
review these statements for accuracy. Should you notice any discrepancies or you do not receive
your custodial account statement, please notify us and/or your custodian as soon as possible.
ITEM 16 - INVESTMENT DISCRETION
When established, we have authority to determine, without obtaining specific consent from you,
both the securities to be bought and sold in your managed accounts as well as the amount of the
securities to be bought or sold. This discretion must be provided at the beginning of our
relationship and documented in our Agreement with you. In a non-discretionary capacity, we will
consult with you prior to each trade for approval. You may inform us of any restrictions or
limitations you would like to place on your managed accounts.
Third party program managers have full discretion over trades in their programs. They do not
consult with us or you before placing trades.
ITEM 17 - VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Proxies
We do not vote proxies for you. You retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for
securities held in your accounts. Your account custodian will send these to you or your designee.
Class Action Lawsuits
Securities held in your managed accounts may be subject to class action lawsuits. We have
engaged Chicago Clearing Corporation (“CCC”) to provide a review of possible settlement claims
involving a class action lawsuit. CCC seeks out open and eligible class action lawsuits. CCC files,
14
Marietta Wealth Disclosure Brochure
monitors and expedites the distribution of settlement proceeds in compliance with SEC guidelines
on your behalf. CCC’s filing fee is contingent upon the successful completion and distribution of
the settlement proceeds from a class action lawsuit. CCC filing fee is 20% of your share of the
settlement distribution. You are automatically included in CCC’s service. You may opt-out by
notifying us in writing. If you opt-out, neither we nor CCC will monitor class action filings for you.
ITEM 18 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We do not have a financial impairment that would preclude us from meeting our contractual
commitments to you.
In addition, we do not act as custodian, have access to client account distributions beyond the
direct debit of fees or your established SLOAs, or require the prepayment of fees from you of more
than $1,200 six months or more in advance. As a result, we are not required to provide you with
our balance sheet.
