Item 4 Advisory Business
Description of Firm
Navista Wealth Management, Inc. ("Navista Wealth") is a registered investment adviser based in
Minnetonka, MN. We are organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Minnesota. We
began conducting business in 2024 following the approval of our investment advisor registration by the
Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We are owned by Robert Alan Bjork.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each investment
advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual
needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to Navista Wealth Management,
Inc. and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our
firm.
Investment Advisory Services
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our
clients' needs and investment objectives.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant us
discretionary authority to manage your account. Subject to a grant of discretionary authorization, we
have the authority and responsibility to formulate investment strategies on your behalf. Discretionary
authorization will allow us to determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be
purchased or sold for your account without obtaining your approval prior to each transaction. We will
also have discretion over the broker or dealer to be used for securities transactions in your account.
Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment advisory agreement you sign with our
firm, a power of attorney, or trading authorization forms.
You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be
purchased or sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in
writing.
We may also offer non-discretionary portfolio management services. If you enter into non-discretionary
arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any transactions on behalf
of your account. You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any advice provided by our firm
on a non-discretionary basis.
As part of our portfolio management services, we may recommend Raymond James Consulting
Services to manage a portion of your account on a discretionary basis. Raymond James Consulting
Services may use one or more of their model portfolios to manage your account. We will regularly
monitor the performance of your accounts managed by Raymond James Consulting Services, and
may hire and fire Raymond James Consulting Services without your prior approval. We may pay a
portion of our advisory fee to Raymond James Consulting Services; however, you will not pay our firm
a higher advisory fee as a result of any sub-advisory relationships.
As part of our portfolio management services, in addition to other types of investments (see
disclosures below in this section), we may invest your assets according to one or more
model portfolios developed by our firm. These models are designed for investors with varying degrees
of risk tolerance ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to a more conservative
investment approach. Clients whose assets are invested in model portfolios may not set restrictions on
the specific holdings or allocations within the model, nor the types of securities that can be purchased
4
in the model. Nonetheless, clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of
securities in their account. In such cases, this may prevent a client from investing in certain models
that are managed by our firm.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
We offer financial planning services which typically involve providing a variety of advisory services
to clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their
individual needs. These services can range from broad-based financial planning to consultative or
single subject planning. Financial planning services are offered either as a component of portfolio
management services or on a stand-alone basis. If you retain our firm for financial planning services,
we will meet with you to gather information about your financial circumstances and objectives. We may
also use financial planning software to determine your current financial position and to define and
quantify your long-term goals and objectives. Once we specify those long-term objectives (both
financial and nonfinancial), we will develop shorter-term, targeted objectives. Once we review and
analyze the information you provide to our firm and the data derived from our financial planning
software, we will deliver a written plan to you, designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals
and objectives.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the
financial information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation,
goals, objectives, or needs change.
You are under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. Should you choose to
act on any of our recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the financial plan through any
of our other investment advisory services. Moreover, you may act on our recommendations by placing
securities transactions with any brokerage firm.
Divorce Planning Services
We offer consulting services that primarily involve advising clients on specific financial-related
topics relating to divorce planning. As part of our Financial Consulting Services, we offer divorce
planning services, which are generally non-investment related. Our divorce planning services are
provided to both individuals and couples going through divorce using litigation, mediation, and the
collaborative divorce process. Our divorce planning services aim to assist clients in reaching a
settlement that fully addresses their long term financial needs. We oftentimes work in conjunction with
their legal counsel, as well as other professionals to assist in reaching a financial settlement, both in
the collaborative process and the traditional divorce process. The topics that we address may include,
but are not limited to:
identify future goals
• analyze the short and long term effects of dividing property
• specifics about the tax effects of dividing certain properties
• analyze pension and retirement plans
• calculate the present value of a pension
•
• determine if a client can afford the marital home, and if not, what he/she can afford
• develop budgets
• create a retirement plan
• assist in education planning
• evaluate continued health care coverage
• educate the clients regarding all aspects of the financial settlement
• analyze life insurance needs and current policies
5
Divorce planning will typically involve an analysis of your individual needs. If you retain our firm
for divorce planning services, we will meet with you to gather information about your financial
circumstances and objectives. Advice is based on your financial situation at the time and on
the financial information you provide to our firm. You must promptly notify our firm if your
financial situation, goals, objectives or needs change.
Financial Coaching Services
We offer financial coaching services on an ongoing basis. The goal of a financial coach is to advise
and provide guidance on your day to day personal finance decisions and to help guide you toward
your financial goals and objectives. These services generally include investment planning,
retirement planning, managing cash flow and debt, personal savings, education savings, insurance,
estate planning and other areas of your financial situation. These services are offered on an ongoing
basis so we can get to know you, your unique financial situation, and your goals. You can cancel
the service with a 30-day written notice.
Our advice is tailored to the client's time horizon, risk tolerance and return goal. Once these have
been determined, we are able to recommend an asset allocation and select appropriate investment
managers. We then provide on-going monitoring of the asset allocation and performance of the
selected money managers. From time to time a client may, and has, imposed restrictions on the types
of investments we use.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not participate in any wrap fee program.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on Mutual Funds and ETFs. Refer to the Methods of Analysis, Investment
Strategies and Risk of Loss below for additional disclosures on this topic. We may also offer advice on
exchange-listed securities, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, variable annuities, variable life
insurance, United States government securities, and money market funds. We may also provide
advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception of our advisory relationship.
Since our investment strategies and advice are based on each client's specific financial situation, the
investment advice we provide to you may be different or conflicting with the advice we give to other
clients regarding the same security or investment.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field
Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where applicable, we are providing the
following acknowledgment to you. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your
retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with
your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not
put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
6
• 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.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management
and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in
your best interest.
Assets Under Management
As of February 27, 2025, we provide continuous management services for $506,117,815 in client
assets on a discretionary basis, and $126,529,453 in client assets on a non-discretionary basis. We
also manage $5,000,000 in client assets on a non-continuous basis.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Investment Advisory Services
Our fee for portfolio management services is based on a percentage of the assets in your account and
is set forth in the following annual fee schedule:
Annual Fee Schedule
Assets Under Management
$0 to $2,000,000
$2,000,001 to $3,000,000
$3,000,001 to $5,000,000
$5,000,001 to $10,000,000
Over $10,000,000
Annual Fee
0.95%
0.75%
0.65%
0.50%
Negotiable
Our annual portfolio management fee is billed and payable, quarterly in advance, based on the
balance at end of billing period. If the portfolio management agreement is executed at any time other
than the first day of a calendar quarter, our fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the
advisory fee is payable in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a
client. Our advisory fee is negotiable, depending on individual client circumstances.
At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same household
to determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account values for you and
your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related accounts. Combining
account values may increase the asset total, which may result in your paying a reduced advisory fee
based on the available breakpoints in our fee schedule stated above.
We will deduct our fee directly from your account through the qualified custodian holding your funds
and securities. We will deduct our advisory fee only when you have given our firm written authorization
permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. Further, the qualified custodian will deliver an
account statement to you at least quarterly. These account statements will show all disbursements
from your account. You should review all statements for accuracy.
We will deduct our fee directly from your account through the qualified custodian holding your funds
and securities. We will deduct our advisory fee only when the following requirements are met:
7
• You provide our firm with written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your
account held by the qualified custodian;
• The qualified custodian agrees to send you a statement, at least quarterly, indicating all
amounts disbursed from your account including the amount of the advisory fee paid directly to
our firm.
We encourage you to review the statement generated by the qualified custodian outlining the advisory
fee deducted from your account quarterly against the written Investment Advisory Agreement signed
when establishing your relationship with Navista Wealth Management, Inc.
You may terminate the portfolio management agreement upon 30 days written notice. You will incur a
pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the portfolio management agreement,
which means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for
which you are a client. If you have pre-paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive
a prorated refund of those fees.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Divorce Planning Services: We charge either an hourly fee or a fixed fee for our divorce planning
services. The fee for these services are agreed upon in writing at the start of the relationship. Our fee
is billed and payable in advance. The fee is negotiable depending upon the complexity and scope of
the plan, Client's financial situation, and objectives. Additionally, in the event Adviser is called to serve
in this manner, the following hourly fees would be charged in addition to the fee for divorce planning
services:
Court Preparation
Travel Time
Attendance at Court
Administrative
$350/hour
$75/hour
$350/hour
$75/hour
Hourly Fees: We charge an hourly fee ranging from $50 to $350 an hour for financial planning
and consulting services depending upon to the complexity and the comprehensiveness of the
service performed.
Fixed Fees: We may offer Fee for Service which is a flat fee ranging from $200 to $5,000 depending
upon the complexity and comprehensiveness of the service performed.
Ongoing Review: Ongoing financial planning reviews are charged a fixed amount based on
the complexity and comprehensiveness not to exceed $500 per month, payable at the beginning of
each month.
An estimate of the total time/cost will be determined at the start of the advisory relationship. In
limited circumstances, the cost/time could potentially exceed the initial estimate. In such cases, we will
notify you and request that you approve the additional fee. We will not require prepayment of a fee
more than six months in advance and in excess of $1,200. Our Financial Planning Agreement defines
the scope of services, the areas where analysis and recommendations are desired, the client
responsibility and fees.
As outlined in the Financial Planning Agreement, one-half of the estimated total charges are due
upon execution of the agreement, and the other half is due upon completion of the plan. The client will
8
be invoiced as needed for outstanding fees based on the agreement. Additionally, the client can elect
to pay the full amount in advance. If a client decides to terminate the agreement, we will refund any
unearned portion of fees that have been paid in advance.
Financial Coaching Services: We charge a monthly fee of $200 per month for financial coaching
services. For certain customized and complex services, we charge an additional monthly fee of $50
per month or a one-time fixed fee of $1,000. The fees are due and payable as invoiced. Either party
may terminate the Agreement at any time upon written notice to the other party. Any fees incurred prior
to the date of termination will be payable in full.
Selection of Other Adviser
We do not charge you a separate fee for the selection of other advisers. We will share in the advisory
fee you pay directly to Raymond James Consulting Services. The advisory fee you pay to Raymond
James Consulting Services is established and payable in accordance with the brochure provided by
Raymond James Consulting Services. These fees may or may not be negotiable. You should review
Raymond James Consulting Services' brochure for information on its fees and services. Our
compensation may differ depending upon the individual agreement we have with Raymond James
Consulting Services. As such, a conflict of interest exists where our firm or persons associated with our
firm has an incentive to recommend Raymond James Consulting Services over another Third Party
Money Manager ("TPMM") or other advisory programs offered by TPMMs.
You are required to sign an agreement directly with Raymond James Consulting Services. You may
terminate your advisory relationship with Raymond James Consulting Services according to the terms
of your agreement with Raymond James Consulting Services. You should review Raymond James
Consulting Services' brochure for specific information on how you may terminate your advisory
relationship with Raymond James Consulting Services and how you may receive a refund, if
applicable. You should contact Raymond James Consulting Services directly for questions regarding
your advisory agreement with Raymond James Consulting Services.
Additional Fees and Expenses
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest, in
mutual funds and exchange traded funds. The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory
services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or exchange
traded funds (described in each fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will generally
include a management fee and other fund expenses. You will also incur transaction charges and/or
brokerage fees when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by
the broker-dealer or custodian through whom your account transactions are executed. We do not
share in any portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer or
custodian. To fully understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all the fees charged by
mutual funds, exchange traded funds, our firm, and others. For information on our brokerage practices,
refer to the Brokerage Practices section of this brochure.
We may trade client accounts on margin. Each client must sign a separate margin agreement before
margin is extended to that client account. Fees for advice and execution on these securities are based
on the total asset value of the account, which includes the value of the securities purchased on margin.
While a negative amount may show on a client's statement for the margined security as the result of a
lower net market value, the amount of the fee is based on the absolute market value. This creates a
conflict of interest where we have an incentive to encourage the use of margin to create a higher
market value and therefore receive a higher fee. The use of margin may also result in interest charges
in addition to all other fees and expenses associated with the security involved.
Compensation for Insurance and the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products
9
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are registered representatives with Cabot
Lodge Securities, Inc., a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. In their capacity as registered
representatives, these persons receive compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of
securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges, service fees or 12b-1
fees, for the sale or holding, of mutual funds. Compensation earned by these persons in their
capacities as registered representatives is separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice
presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice to advisory clients on
behalf of our firm who are registered representatives have an incentive to recommend investment
products based on the compensation received rather than solely based on your needs. Persons
providing investment advice to advisory clients on behalf of our firm can select or recommend, and in
many instances will select or recommend, mutual fund investments in share classes that pay 12b-1
fees when clients are eligible to purchase share classes of the same funds that do not pay such fees
and are less expensive. This presents a conflict of interest. You are under no obligation, contractually
or otherwise, to purchase securities products through any person affiliated with our firm who receives
compensation described above.
We have a fiduciary duty to act in our client's best interest including the duty to seek best execution.
Therefore, our mutual fund selection and recommendation process takes into consideration several
factors in order to meet this requirement. See the Brokerage Practices section for additional
information on our mutual fund share class selection process.
We may recommend that you purchase variable annuities to be included in your investment
portfolio(s). Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm may earn commissions on the
sale of the variable annuities in his or her capacity as a registered representative of Cabot Lodge
Securities, Inc.. If these persons earn commission on the sale of variable annuities recommended to
you, we will not include the annuity accounts in the total value used for our advisory billing/fee
computation for two-year period of time after the annuity contract is sold. After the two-year period, the
value of the annuity sub accounts will be added to the value of your total assets for billing purposes.
Annuities will be purchased for your account only after you receive a prospectus disclosing the terms
of the annuity. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase variable annuities
through any person affiliated with our firm.
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are licensed as independent insurance
agents. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products,
including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are
separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because
persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an incentive
to recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely
based on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance
products through any person affiliated with our firm.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not accept performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side management. Performance-
based fees are fees that are based on a share of a capital gains or capital appreciation of a client's
account. Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged
performance-based fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-
based fees. Our fees are calculated as described in the Fees and Compensation section above, and
are not charged on the basis of a share of capital gains upon, or capital appreciation of, the funds in
your advisory account.
10
Item 7 Types of Clients
We offer investment advisory services to individuals including high net worth individuals.
We require a minimum of $25,000 to open and maintain an advisory account. At our discretion, we
may waive or negotiate this minimum account size. For example, we may waive or negotiate the
minimum if you appear to have significant potential for increasing your assets under our management.
We charge a minimum annual fee in the amount of 0.25% to open and maintain an advisory account.
At our discretion we may waive the minimum fee.
We may also combine account values for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your
spouse, and other types of related accounts to meet the stated minimum.
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
We use one or more of the following methods of analysis or investment strategies when providing
investment advice to you:
Charting Analysis - involves the gathering and processing of price and volume pattern information for
a particular security, sector, broad index or commodity. This price and volume pattern information is
analyzed. The resulting pattern and correlation data is used to detect departures from expected
performance and diversification and predict future price movements and trends.
Risk: Our charting analysis may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price
movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all information known about the security and
day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be
predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy.
Technical Analysis - involves studying past price patterns, trends and interrelationships in the
financial markets to assess risk-adjusted performance and predict the direction of both the overall
market and specific securities.
Risk: The risk of market timing based on technical analysis is that our analysis may not accurately
detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all
information known about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may
follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy.
Fundamental Analysis - involves analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, such as a
company's financial statements, details regarding the company's product line, the experience and
expertise of the company's management, and the outlook for the company and its industry. The
resulting data is used to measure the true value of the company's stock compared to the current
market value.
Risk: The risk of fundamental analysis is that information obtained may be incorrect and the
analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's
value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not
result in favorable performance.
11
Modern Portfolio Theory - a theory of investment which attempts to maximize portfolio expected
return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected
return, by carefully diversifying the proportions of various assets.
Risk: Market risk is that part of a security's risk that is common to all securities of the same
general class (stocks and bonds) and thus cannot be eliminated by diversification.
Long-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities
will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year.
Risk: Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in
the long-term which may not be the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market
that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular investment will go down over time even if
the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term may create an
opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be better utilized in the short-term in other
investments.
Short-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a
relatively short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short-
term price fluctuations.
Risk: Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial
markets will perform in the short-term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproportionately
higher amount of transaction costs compared to long-term trading. There are many factors that
can affect financial market performance in the short-term (such as short-term interest rate
changes, cyclical earnings announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer
periods of times.
Margin Transactions - a securities transaction in which an investor borrows money to purchase a
security, in which case the security serves as collateral on the loan.
Risk: If the value of the shares drops sufficiently, the investor will be required to either deposit
more cash into the account or sell a portion of the stock in order to maintain the margin
requirements of the account. This is known as a "margin call." An investor's overall risk includes
the amount of money invested plus the amount that was loaned to them.
Trading - We may use frequent trading (in general, selling securities within 30 days of purchasing the
same securities) as an investment strategy when managing your account(s). Frequent trading is not a
fundamental part of our overall investment strategy, but we may use this strategy occasionally when
we determine that it is suitable given your stated investment objectives and tolerance for risk. This may
include buying and selling securities frequently in an effort to capture significant market gains and
avoid significant losses.
Risk: When a frequent trading policy is in effect, there is a risk that investment performance within
your account may be negatively affected, particularly through increased brokerage and other
transactional costs and taxes.
Our investment strategies and advice may vary depending upon each client's specific financial
situation. As such, we determine investments and allocations based upon your predefined objectives,
risk tolerance, time horizon, financial information, liquidity needs and other various suitability factors.
Your restrictions and guidelines may affect the composition of your portfolio. It is important that you
12
notify us immediately with respect to any material changes to your financial circumstances,
including for example, a change in your current or expected income level, tax circumstances, or
employment status.
We will not perform quantitative or qualitative analysis of individual securities. Instead, we will advise
you on how to allocate your assets among various classes of securities or third party money
managers. We primarily rely on investment model portfolios and strategies developed by the third party
money managers and their portfolio managers. We may replace/recommend replacing a third party
money manager if there is a significant deviation in characteristics or performance from the stated
strategy and/or benchmark.
Cash Management
We manage cash balances in your account based on the yield, and the financial soundness of the
money markets and other short term instruments.
Tax Considerations
Our strategies and investments may have unique and significant tax implications. However, unless we
specifically agree otherwise, and in writing, tax efficiency is not our primary consideration in the
management of your assets. Regardless of your account size or any other factors, we strongly
recommend that you consult with a tax professional regarding the investing of your assets.
Custodians and broker-dealers must report the cost basis of equities acquired in client accounts. Your
custodian will default to the First-In First-Out ("FIFO") accounting method for calculating the cost basis
of your investments. You are responsible for contacting your tax advisor to determine if this accounting
method is the right choice for you. If your tax advisor believes another accounting method is more
advantageous, provide written notice to our firm immediately and we will alert your account custodian
of your individually selected accounting method. Decisions about cost basis accounting methods will
need to be made before trades settle, as the cost basis method cannot be changed after settlement.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. We do not represent or
guarantee that our services or methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully
identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate clients from losses due to market corrections or declines.
We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met. Past
performance is in no way an indication of future performance.
Other Risk Considerations
When evaluating risk, financial loss may be viewed differently by each client and may depend on many
different risks, each of which may affect the probability and magnitude of any potential losses. The
following risks may not be all-inclusive, but should be considered carefully by a prospective client
before retaining our services.
Liquidity Risk: The risk of being unable to sell your investment at a fair price at a given time due to
high volatility or lack of active liquid markets. You may receive a lower price or it may not be possible
to sell the investment at all.
Credit Risk: Credit risk typically applies to debt investments such as corporate, municipal, and
sovereign fixed income or bonds. A bond issuing entity can experience a credit event that could impair
or erase the value of an issuer's securities held by a client.
Inflation and Interest Rate Risk: Security prices and portfolio returns will likely vary in response to
changes in inflation and interest rates. Inflation causes the value of future dollars to be worth less and
13
may reduce the purchasing power of a client's future interest payments and principal. Inflation also
generally leads to higher interest rates which may cause the value of many types of fixed income
investments to decline.
Horizon and Longevity Risk: The risk that your investment horizon is shortened because of an
unforeseen event, for example, the loss of your job. This may force you to sell investments that you
were expecting to hold for the long term. If you must sell at a time that the markets are down, you may
lose money. Longevity Risk is the risk of outliving your savings. This risk is particularly relevant for
people who are retired, or are nearing retirement.
Recommendation of Particular Types of Securities
We primarily recommend Mutual Funds, and ETFs. However, we may advise on other types of
investments as appropriate for you since each client has different needs and different tolerance for
risk. Each type of security has its own unique set of risks associated with it and it would not be possible
to list here all of the specific risks of every type of investment. Even within the same type of
investment, risks can vary widely. However, in very general terms, the higher the anticipated return of
an investment, the higher the risk of loss associated with the investment.
Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds: Mutual funds and exchange traded funds ("ETF") are
professionally managed collective investment systems that pool money from many investors and invest
in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, other mutual funds, other securities, or any
combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the fund's investments in accordance
with the fund's investment objective. While mutual funds and ETFs generally provide diversification,
risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market,
primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows money) to a
significant degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing
the fund with different types of securities. ETFs differ from mutual funds since they can be bought and
sold throughout the day like stock and their price can fluctuate throughout the day. The returns on
mutual funds and ETFs can be reduced by the costs to manage the funds. Also, while some mutual
funds are "no load" and charge no fee to buy into, or sell out of, the fund, other types of mutual funds
do charge such fees which can also reduce returns. Mutual funds can also be "closed end" or "open
end". So-called "open end" mutual funds continue to allow in new investors indefinitely whereas
"closed end" funds have a fixed number of shares to sell which can limit their availability to new
investors.
ETFs may have tracking error risks. For example, the ETF investment adviser may not be able to
cause the ETF's performance to match that of its Underlying Index or other benchmark, which may
negatively affect the ETF's performance. In addition, for leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek to track
the performance of their Underlying Indices or benchmarks on a daily basis, mathematical
compounding may prevent the ETF from correlating with performance of its benchmark. In addition, an
ETF may not have investment exposure to all of the securities included in its Underlying Index, or its
weighting of investment exposure to such securities may vary from that of the Underlying Index. Some
ETFs may invest in securities or financial instruments that are not included in the Underlying Index, but
which are expected to yield similar performance.
Money Market Funds: A money market fund is technically a security. The fund managers attempt to
keep the share price constant at $1 per share. However, there is no guarantee that the share price will
stay at $1 per share. If the share price goes down, you can lose some or all of your principal. The U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") notes that "While investor losses in money market
funds have been rare, they are possible." In return for this risk, you should earn a greater return on
your cash than you would expect from a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured
savings account (money market funds are not FDIC insured). Next, money market fund rates are
14
variable. In other words, you do not know how much you will earn on your investment next month. The
rate could go up or go down. If it goes up, that may result in a positive outcome. However, if it goes
down and you earn less than you expected to earn, you may end up needing more cash. A final risk
you are taking with money market funds has to do with inflation. Because money market funds are
considered to be safer than other investments like stocks, long-term average returns on money market
funds tends to be less than long term average returns on riskier investments. Over long periods of
time, inflation can eat away at your returns.
Certificates of Deposit: Certificates of deposit ("CD") are generally a safe type of investment since
they are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to a certain amount.
However, because the returns are generally low, there is risk that inflation outpaces the return of the
CD. Certain CDs are traded in the market place and not purchased directly from a banking institution.
In addition to trading risk, when CDs are purchased at a premium, the premium is not covered by the
FDIC.
Municipal Securities: Municipal securities, while generally thought of as safe, can have significant
risks associated with them including, but not limited to: the credit worthiness of the governmental entity
that issues the bond; the stability of the revenue stream that is used to pay the interest to the
bondholders; when the bond is due to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to
maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character
paying the same amount of interest or yield to maturity.
Bonds: Corporate debt securities (or "bonds") are typically safer investments than equity securities,
but their risk can also vary widely based on: the financial health of the issuer; the risk that the issuer
might default; when the bond is set to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to
maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character
paying the same rate of return.
Stocks: There are numerous ways of measuring the risk of equity securities (also known simply as
"equities" or "stock"). In very broad terms, the value of a stock depends on the financial health of the
company issuing it. However, stock prices can be affected by many other factors including, but not
limited to the class of stock (for example, preferred or common); the health of the market sector of the
issuing company; and, the overall health of the economy. In general, larger, better established
companies ("large cap") tend to be safer than smaller start-up companies ("small cap") are but the
mere size of an issuer is not, by itself, an indicator of the safety of the investment.
Variable Annuities: A variable annuity is a form of insurance where the seller or issuer (typically an
insurance company) makes a series of future payments to a buyer (annuitant) in exchange for the
immediate payment of a lump sum (single-payment annuity) or a series of regular payments (regular-
payment annuity). The payment stream from the issuer to the annuitant has an unknown duration
based principally upon the date of death of the annuitant. At this point, the contract will terminate and
the remainder of the funds accumulated forfeited unless there are other annuitants or beneficiaries in
the contract. Annuities can be purchased to provide an income during retirement. Unlike fixed annuities
that make payments in fixed amounts or in amounts that increase by a fixed percentage, variable
annuities, pay amounts that vary according to the performance of a specified set of investments,
typically bond and equity mutual funds. Many variable annuities typically impose asset-based sales
charges or surrender charges for withdrawals within a specified period. Variable annuities may impose
a variety of fees and expenses, in addition to sales and surrender charges, such as mortality and
expense risk charges; administrative fees; underlying fund expenses; and charges for special features,
all of which can reduce the return. Earnings in a variable annuity do not provide all the tax advantages
of 401(k)s and other before-tax retirement plans. Once the investor starts withdrawing money from
their variable annuity, earnings are taxed at the ordinary income rate, rather than at the lower capital
15
gains rates applied to other non-tax-deferred vehicles which are held for more than one year. Proceeds
of most variable annuities do not receive a "step-up" in cost basis when the owner dies like stocks,
bonds and mutual funds do. Some variable annuities offer "bonus credits." These are usually not free.
In order to fund them, insurance companies typically impose mortality and expense charges and
surrender charge periods. In an exchange of an existing annuity for a new annuity (so-called 1035
exchanges), the new variable annuity may have a lower contract value and a smaller death benefit;
may impose new surrender charges or increase the period of time for which the surrender charge
applies; may have higher annual fees; and provide another commission for the broker.

Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Registrations with Broker-Dealer
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are registered representatives with Cabot
Lodge Securities, Inc. a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. See the Fees and Compensation section
in this brochure for more information on the compensation received by registered representatives who
are affiliated with our firm.
Licensed Insurance Agency
Our firm is also licensed as an insurance agency. Therefore, persons providing investment advice on
behalf of our firm may be licensed as insurance agents. These persons will earn commission-based
compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance
commissions earned by these persons are separate from our advisory fees. See the Fees and
Compensation section in this brochure for more information on the compensation received by
insurance agents who are affiliated with our firm.
Recommendation of Other Advisers
We may recommend that you use a third party money manager ("TPMM") based on your needs and
suitability. We will receive compensation from the TPMM for recommending that you use their services.
These compensation arrangements present a conflict of interest because we have a financial incentive
to recommend the services of the third party adviser. You are not obligated, contractually or otherwise,
to use the services of any TPMM we recommend. We do not have any other business relationships
with the recommended TPMM(s). Refer to the Advisory Business section above for additional
disclosures on this topic.

Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Description of Our Code of Ethics
We strive to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing our practices. Therefore, our Code
of Ethics includes guidelines for professional standards of conduct for persons associated with our
firm. Our goal is to protect your interests at all times and to demonstrate our commitment to our
fiduciary duties of honesty, good faith, and fair dealing with you. All persons associated with our firm
are expected to adhere strictly to these guidelines. Persons associated with our firm are also required
to report any violations of our Code of Ethics. Additionally, we maintain and enforce written policies
reasonably designed to prevent the misuse or dissemination of material, nonpublic information about
you or your account holdings by persons associated with our firm.
Clients or prospective clients may obtain a copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting us at the
telephone number on the cover page of this brochure.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Neither our firm nor any persons associated with our firm has any material financial interest in client
transactions beyond the provision of investment advisory services as disclosed in this brochure.
Personal Trading Practices
Our firm or persons associated with our firm may buy or sell the same securities that we recommend to
you or securities in which you are already invested. A conflict of interest exists in such cases because
we have the ability to trade ahead of you and potentially receive more favorable prices than you will
receive. To mitigate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that neither our firm nor persons associated
with our firm shall have priority over your account in the purchase or sale of securities.
Aggregated Trading
Our firm or persons associated with our firm may buy or sell securities for you at the same time we or
persons associated with our firm buy or sell such securities for our own account. We may also combine
our orders to purchase securities with your orders to purchase securities ("aggregated trading"). Refer
to the Brokerage Practices section in this brochure for information on our aggregated trading practices.
A conflict of interest exists in such cases because we have the ability to trade ahead of you and
potentially receive more favorable prices than you will receive. To eliminate this conflict of interest, it is
our policy that neither our firm nor persons associated with our firm shall have priority over your
account in the purchase or sale of securities.
Item 12 Brokerage Practices
We recommend the brokerage and custodial services of Raymond James & Associates, Inc. member
New York Stock Exchange/SIPC (whether one or more "Custodian"). Your assets must be maintained
in an account at a "qualified custodian," generally a broker-dealer or bank. In recognition of the value
of the services the Custodian provides, you may pay higher commissions and/or trading costs than
those that may be available elsewhere. Our selection of custodian is based on many factors, including
the level of services provided, the custodian's financial stability, and the cost of services provided by
the custodian to our clients, which includes the yield on cash sweep choices, commissions, custody
fees and other fees or expenses.
17
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker that will hold your assets and execute transactions on
terms that are, overall, the most favorable compared to other available providers and their services.
We consider various factors, including:
• Capability to buy and sell securities for your account itself or to facilitate such services.
• The likelihood that your trades will be executed.
• Availability of investment research and tools.
• Overall quality of services.
• Competitiveness of price.
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability.
• Existing relationship with our firm and our other clients.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
We do not have any soft dollar arrangements.
Economic Benefits
As a registered investment adviser, we have access to the institutional platform of your account
custodian. As such, we will also have access to research products and services from your account
custodian and/or other brokerage firm. These products may include financial publications, information
about particular companies and industries, research software, and other products or services that
provide lawful and appropriate assistance to our firm in the performance of our investment decision-
making responsibilities. Such research products and services are provided to all investment advisers
that utilize the institutional services platforms of these firms, and are not considered to be paid for with
soft dollars. However, you should be aware that the commissions charged by a particular broker for a
particular transaction or set of transactions may be greater than the amounts another broker who did
not provide research services or products might charge.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other compensation,
such as brokerage services or research.
Directed Brokerage
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are registered representatives of Cabot
Lodge Securities, Inc. would normally be required to recommend Cabot Lodge Securities, Inc. to you
for brokerage services. These individuals are subject to applicable industry rules that restrict them from
conducting securities transactions away from Cabot Lodge Securities, Inc. unless Cabot Lodge
Securities, Inc. provides the representatives with written authorization to do so, which Cabot Lodge
Securities, Inc. has done in this case. Therefore, although these individuals would generally be limited
to conducting securities transactions through Cabot Lodge Securities, Inc., in this instance, as noted
above, they will generally recommend Raymond James. It may be the case that Raymond James
charges higher transaction costs and/or custodial fees than another broker charges for the same types
of services. However, if transactions were executed though Cabot Lodge Securities, Inc. these
individuals (in their separate capacities as registered representatives of Cabot Lodge Securities, Inc.)
could earn commission-based compensation as a result of placing the recommended securities
transactions through Cabot Lodge Securities, Inc.. This practice would present a conflict of interest
because these registered representatives would have an incentive to effect securities transactions for
the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. You may utilize the
broker-dealer of your choice and have no obligation to purchase or sell securities through such broker
as we recommend. However, if you do not use the recommended broker we may not be able to accept
your account. See the Fees and Compensation section in this brochure for more information on the
compensation received by registered representatives who are affiliated with our firm.
18
In limited circumstances, and at our discretion, some clients may instruct our firm to use one or more
particular brokers for the transactions in their accounts. If you choose to direct our firm to use a
particular broker, you should understand that this might prevent our firm from aggregating trades with
other client accounts or from effectively negotiating brokerage commissions on your behalf. This
practice may also prevent our firm from obtaining favorable net price and execution. Thus, when
directing brokerage business, you should consider whether the commission expenses, execution,
clearance, and settlement capabilities that you will obtain through your broker are adequately favorable
in comparison to those that we would otherwise obtain for you.
Aggregated Trades
We combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for discretionary advisory
accounts we manage (this practice is commonly referred to as "aggregated trading"). We will then
distribute a portion of the shares to participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner. Generally,
participating accounts will pay a fixed transaction cost regardless of the number of shares transacted.
In certain cases, each participating account pays an average price per share for all transactions and
pays a proportionate share of all transaction costs on any given day. In the event an order is only
partially filled, the shares will be allocated to participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner,
typically in proportion to the size of each client's order. Accounts owned by our firm or persons
associated with our firm may participate in aggregated trading with your accounts; however, they will
not be given preferential treatment.
We do not aggregate trades for non-discretionary accounts. Accordingly, non-discretionary accounts
may pay different costs than discretionary accounts pay. If you enter into non-discretionary
arrangements with our firm, we may not be able to buy and sell the same quantities of securities for
you and you may pay higher commissions, fees, and/or transaction costs than clients who enter into
discretionary arrangements with our firm.
Mutual Fund Share Classes
Mutual funds are sold with different share classes, which carry different cost structures. Each available
share class is described in the mutual fund's prospectus. When we purchase, or recommend the
purchase of, mutual funds for a client, we select the share class that is deemed to be in the client's
best interest, taking into consideration the availability of advisory, institutional or retirement plan share
classes, initial and ongoing share class costs, transaction costs (if any), tax implications, cost basis
and other factors. We also review the mutual funds held in accounts that come under our management
to determine whether a more beneficial share class is available, considering cost, tax implications, and
the impact of contingent or deferred sales charges.
Item 13 Review of Accounts
Navista Wealth's President and Chief Compliance Officer will monitor your accounts on an ongoing
basis and will conduct account reviews at least annually, to ensure the advisory services provided to
you are consistent with your investment needs and objectives. Additional reviews may be conducted
based on various circumstances, including, but not limited to:
• contributions and withdrawals;
• year-end tax planning;
• market moving events;
• security specific events; and/or
• changes in your risk/return objectives.
The individuals conducting reviews may vary from time to time, as personnel join or leave our firm.
19
We will not provide you with regular written reports. You will receive trade confirmations and monthly or
quarterly statements from your account custodian(s).
Our Wealth Advisors will review financial plans as needed, depending on the arrangements made with
you at the inception of your advisory relationship to ensure that the advice provided is consistent with
your investment needs and objectives. Generally, we will contact you periodically to determine whether
any updates may be needed based on changes in your circumstances. Changed circumstances may
include, but are not limited to marriage, divorce, birth, death, inheritance, lawsuit, retirement, job loss
and/or disability, among others. We recommend meeting with you at least annually to review and
update your plan if needed. Additional reviews will be conducted upon your request. Such reviews and
updates may be subject to our then current hourly rate. We will not provide regular written reports for
financial planning and consulting services. If you implement financial planning advice, you will receive
trade confirmations and monthly or quarterly statements from relevant custodians.
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
As disclosed under the Fees and Compensation section in this brochure, persons providing investment
advice on behalf of our firm are licensed insurance agents, and are registered representatives with
Cabot Lodge Securities, Inc., a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. For information on the
conflicts of interest this presents, and how we address these conflicts, refer to the Fees and
Compensation section.
We do not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with providing investment
advice to you nor do we compensate any individual or firm for client referrals.
Refer to the Brokerage Practices section above for disclosures on research and other benefits we may
receive resulting from our relationship with your account custodian.
Item 15 Custody
Your independent custodian will directly debit your account(s) for the payment of our advisory fees.
This ability to deduct our advisory fees from your accounts causes our firm to exercise limited custody
over your funds or securities. We do not have physical custody of any of your funds and/or securities.
Your funds and securities will be held with a bank, broker-dealer, or other qualified custodian. You will
receive account statements from the qualified custodian(s) holding your funds and securities at least
quarterly. The account statements from your custodian(s) will indicate the amount of our advisory fees
deducted from your account(s) each billing period. You should carefully review account statements for
accuracy.
Trustee Services
Persons associated with our firm may serve as trustees to certain accounts for which we also provide
investment advisory services. In all cases, the persons associated with our firm have been appointed
trustee as a result of a family or personal relationship with the trust grantor and/or beneficiary and not
as a result of employment with our firm. Therefore, we are not deemed to have custody over the
advisory accounts for which persons associated with our firm serve as trustee.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
Before we can buy or sell securities on your behalf, you must first sign our discretionary management
agreement and the appropriate trading authorization forms.
20
You may grant our firm discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be purchased or sold
for your account(s) without obtaining your consent or approval prior to each transaction. You may
specify investment objectives, guidelines, and/or impose certain conditions or investment parameters
for your account(s). For example, you may specify that the investment in any particular stock or
industry should not exceed specified percentages of the value of the portfolio and/or restrictions or
prohibitions of transactions in the securities of a specific industry or security. Refer to the Advisory
Business section in this brochure for more information on our discretionary management services.
If you enter into non-discretionary arrangements with our firm, we will obtain your approval prior to the
execution of any transactions for your account(s). You have an unrestricted right to decline to
implement any advice provided by our firm on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
We will not vote proxies on behalf of your advisory accounts. At your request, we may offer you advice
regarding corporate actions and the exercise of your proxy voting rights. If you own shares of
applicable securities, you are responsible for exercising your right to vote as a shareholder.
In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from the account custodian. However, in the
event we were to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, we would forward them directly to
you by mail, unless you have authorized our firm to contact you by electronic mail, in which case, we
would forward any electronic solicitations to vote proxies.
Item 18 Financial Information
Our firm does not have any financial condition or impairment that would prevent us from meeting our
contractual commitments to you. We do not take physical custody of client funds or securities, or serve
as trustee or signatory for client accounts, and, we do not require the prepayment of more than $1,200
in fees six or more months in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a financial statement
with this brochure.
We have not filed a bankruptcy petition at any time in the past ten years.
Item 19 Additional Information
Trade Errors
In the event a trading error occurs in your account, our policy is to restore your account to the position
it should have been in had the trading error not occurred. Depending on the circumstances, corrective
actions may include canceling the trade, adjusting an allocation, and/or reimbursing the account.
Class Action Lawsuits
We do not determine if securities held by you are the subject of a class action lawsuit or whether you
are eligible to participate in class action settlements or litigation nor do we initiate or participate in
litigation to recover damages on your behalf for injuries as a result of actions, misconduct, or
negligence by issuers of securities held by you.
