Item 4: Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Naviter Wealth, LLC (“Naviter” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Naviter was founded in November 2020 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Naviter Holdings, LLC. Bentley E. Blackmon, through
various intermediate subsidiaries, is the majority owner of Naviter Holdings, LLC. The Disclosure Brochure provides information
regarding the qualifications, business practices, and advisory services provided by Naviter.
Naviter is operated by Bentley E. Blackmon (Chief Executive Officer), Lyndell (Phillip) Worthen (President), Daniel Russell (Chief
Compliance Officer), John Kornet (Chief Investment Officer), and Jordan Bauer (Chief Operating Officer).
B. Advisory Services Offered
Naviter offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, businesses, charitable
organizations, broker/dealers, and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor
upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith toward each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. Naviter’s
fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics,
please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services - Naviter provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved
through frequent personal Client contact and interaction while providing financial planning, discretionary investment
management and related advisory services. Naviter collaborates closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and
objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to design a portfolio strategy.
Financial Planning Services – Naviter will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, as a
component of its wealth management services. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending
on their goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited
to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs and other areas of a Client’s
financial situation. Naviter may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests
of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment
management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory
fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an
ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor,
the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor.
Investment Management Services – Naviter provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved
through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related
advisory services. Naviter collaborates closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk
tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy.
Naviter will then construct an investment portfolio utilizing either Addepar, Inc. (“Addepar”), a portfolio management tool or
by utilizing trade execution via Charles Schwab & Co.’s trading platform/desk. The Advisor may also use a combination thereof,
based on each Client’s needs and objectives. The Advisor will primarily utilize low-cost, diversified exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), individual stocks, and mutual funds. The Advisor also uses bonds, independent managers, interval funds, structured
products, and private funds, including direct placement investments, to meet the needs of its Clients. On limited instances, the
Advisor may utilize margin, options contracts, and lines of credit. Lastly, the Advisor may retain other types of investments from the
Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the
Advisor and the Client.
Naviter Wealth, LLC
1 Information Way, Suite 400
Little Rock, AR 72202
www.naviterwealth.com
In certain instances, Naviter may utilize models through the Unified Managed Account (“UMA”) Program offered through
Envestnet Asset Management Inc’s (“Envestnet”) private wealth management platform or models through the Advisor/TAMP
(Turnkey Asset Management Provider) Traded Program offered via Envestnet.
If a Client decides to become a private fund investor, the amount of assets invested in the private fund[s] shall be included as
part of “assets under management” for purposes of the Advisor calculating its investment advisory fee. The Advisor’s Clients are
under no obligation to consider or make an investment in a private fund. Additionally, Naviter may also recommend that Clients
engage with various third parties with whom the Client will then enter into an agreement with to gain access to private funds.
Naviter will continue to provide oversight of the Clients investment and ongoing monitoring of the activities performed by the
third parties.
Naviter’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell, re-allocate or tax-loss harvest
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. Naviter
will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance
agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be
held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
Naviter evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process.
Naviter may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Naviter may recommend
specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a
possible hedge against market movement. Naviter may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited
to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation
or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs,
or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or
individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a
distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including
rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account
(e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will
earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a
retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Use of Independent Managers – Naviter may also recommend that a Client utilize one or more unaffiliated investment managers
or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio. In such
instances, the Client may be required to authorize and enter into an advisory agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that
defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will provide investment management and related services. The
Advisor may also assist in the development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client
relationship. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Manager[s]
to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned investment objectives and overall best
interests. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with unaffiliated investment manager[s] or investment platform[s],
will be provided with the Independent Manager’s Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
Lines of Credit – Under certain circumstances, Clients of Naviter utilize a line(s) of credit. The capabilities of Charles Schwab
Banking & Trust Services, Tristate Capital Bank, and are the typical avenues for access to collateral at Naviter. In such instances,
Client assets in their account[s] at the Custodian will be utilized as collateral for the loan. Additionally, the Advisor is entitled to
receive investment advisory fees for managing the collateralized assets in the Client’s account[s]. Clients are not obligated to
engage the Advisor for the Lending Program. For additional information related to the risks involved with loans and lines of
credit, please see Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss.

Trust Fiduciary Services – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, Naviter may offer certain Clients access to custody
and trust administrative services through National Advisors Holdings, Inc. and its various subsidiaries (“NAH”) under the business
name of Naviter Trust. Clients will enter into a separate agreement with NAH. Naviter will serve as the investment manager to
any accounts established with NAH and earn an investment management fee as noted above. Naviter does not serve as a trustee
for any account relationships.
At no time will Naviter accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as outlined
in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms
of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Financial Institution Consulting Services – Naviter provides investment consulting services to brokerage customers (herein
“Brokerage Customers”) of Mutual Securities, Inc. (herein “MSI”) who provide written consent requesting to receive the
Advisor’s consulting services pursuant to a written agreement with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry
Activities and Affiliations for additional details.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services – Naviter provides retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a
“Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan
Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized to the needs
of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services available include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
Investment Oversight and/or Management (ERISA 3(21) and 3(38))
Vendor Analysis
Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
Performance Reporting
Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
These services are provided by Naviter serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written
description of Naviter’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor
reasonably expects under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Naviter to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements
with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services
may include:
Establishing an Investment Strategy – Naviter, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to
achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
Asset Allocation – Naviter will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance for risk for each Client.
Portfolio Construction – Naviter will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and
objectives of the Client.

of the Client’s investment portfolio.

E. Assets Under Management
As of March 4, 2025, the Advisor manages $1,554,049,000 in Client assets, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis.
Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
These figures (rounded to the nearest $1,000) are based on the net asset values of our clients’ securities (including hedge funds
and private investments) as reported to us by the investment managers.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A. Fees for Advisory Services
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the Advisor.
Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more written agreements
with the Advisor.
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each quarter, pursuant to the terms of the wealth management
agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior quarter.
Wealth management fees are based on the following schedule:
Assets Under Management ($)
First $25,000,000
Annual Rate (%)
0.85%
Next $25,000,000
0.40%
Next $50,000,000
0.25%
Over $100,000,000
0.20%
The wealth management fee for new accounts is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the quarter.
Advisory fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Certain Clients of the Advisor may be subject to a legacy fee
schedule that is different than the above fee schedule. Clients charged a performance-based fee will also be subject to the above
referenced schedule but will be charged half of the annual rate. Certain Clients and accounts may also be assessed an annual
administrative fee ranging up to 0.12% for access to technology platforms, research, reports, models, and other related services.
This fee may be waived at the sole discretion of the advisor.
The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in
accounts managed at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., by Naviter, will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct
periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.
The Client can make additions and withdrawals from their Account[s] at any time. The Advisor performs account reconciliations
monthly for deposits & withdrawals in excess of $100,000.
A prorated advisory fee credit is made if there is a withdrawal in excess of $100,000.
A prorated advisory fee debit is made to a client’s account if there is a deposit in excess of $100,000.
As noted above, the Advisor may also provide investment advisory services with respect to Private Funds, including but not
limited to Private Funds offered through various third parties, which are not held at the primary custodian. In such instances,
the Client shall be required to complete the applicable private placement and/or account opening documents to establish these
investments. The Advisor will debit its fee for providing investment advisory services with respect to these relationships directly
from an account designated by the Client held at the primary Custodian. The Advisor will bill on the amount of invested capital
into the fund. Adjustments are reflected in the fee calculations for the next quarterly period.
Clients will be provided with additional disclosures including private placement memorandums and subscription agreements.
Please note: Other than Naviter’s advisory fee noted herein, Naviter will not receive any additional fees related to the Private
Funds or the Client’s engagement with these third-party entities.
Naviter Wealth, LLC

Little Rock, AR 72202
www.naviterwealth.com
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other related
costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive
any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Use of Independent Managers
For Clients with accounts[s] allocated to an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fee will be deducted from the Clients
account[s] with the respective Independent Manager and a portion of the fee will be provided to Naviter based on Naviter’s
agreement with the Client. Naviter is responsible for negotiating the fees with the Independent Manager on behalf of the Client.
Naviter does not receive any compensation or fees from the Independent Manager.
Financial Institution Consulting Services
Naviter receives a consulting fee based on the assets under MSI’s management from Brokerage Customers who have provided
written consent to MSI to receive the investment consulting services from the Advisor. The consulting fee is calculated from the
assets under MSI’s management at the end of the calendar quarter multiplied by the annualized rate ranging up to 1.00%. The
initial fee is paid only after the completion of one full calendar quarter period following the date of the executed agreement with
MSI.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged either an annual asset-based fee of up to 0.85% based on the market value
of assets under management at the end of the quarter or an annual fixed fee. Retirement plan advisory fees are billed quarterly
either in advance or arrears. Fees may be negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services - Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the
Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor, via its delegate (Envestnet) shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the
amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the quarter. The amount due is calculated by
applying the annual rate divided by the number of days in the year multiplied by the number of days in the upcoming quarter to
the total assets under management with Naviter at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at
least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the wealth management fee. Clients are urged to also review and
compare the statement provided by the Advisor to the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not
perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Naviter to be
paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account
forms provided by the Custodian. In certain limited instances, a client may be invoiced for wealth management fees.
Use of Independent Managers - For Clients referred by the Advisor to an Independent Manager, the Client’s fee will be deducted
from the Client’s account[s] by the respective Independent Manager and a portion of the wealth management fee may be
provided to Naviter.
Financial Institution Consulting Services - MSI shall calculate and pay Naviter for its consulting services on or before thirty (30)
days past the end of each calendar quarter.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services - Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from
the assets of the Plan, depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Naviter, in connection with investments made on
behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities execution fees charged by the Custodian,
as applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a
Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements.
However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by Naviter are
separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees.
Naviter Wealth, LLC
1 Information Way, Suite 400
Little Rock, AR 72202
www.naviterwealth.com
In addition, all fees paid to Naviter for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged
by private funds, mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each
fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses,
account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to
invest in these products directly, without the services of Naviter, but would not receive the services provided by Naviter which
are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each
Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the
fees charged by Naviter to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for
additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services - Naviter may be compensated for its wealth management services in advance of the quarter in
which services are rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth management agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide
advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the
Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid wealth management fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the
quarter. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers - If a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with the Independent Manager, the terms
for termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client and that Independent Manager. Naviter will
assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate.
Financial Institution Consulting Services - Either party may terminate the consulting agreement by providing thirty (30) days
advance written notice to the other party. The Advisor will be entitled to fees up to the date of termination.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services - Naviter may be compensated in advance of the quarter in which retirement plan advisory
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide
advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. The Advisor will refund
any unearned, prepaid retirement plan advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The
Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Naviter does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions
in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in item 5, the Advisor is affiliated through common control and ownership with Naviter Insurance, LLC (“Naviter
Insurance”), a licensed insurance agency. Certain Advisory Persons of the Advisor are also licensed insurance professionals {life,
property, & casualty}. Naviter Insurance earns commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including
products sold to Clients of Naviter. To facilitate the sale and implementation of insurance products, Naviter typically utilizes the
services of Lion Street and Kore Insurance Holdings (“Kore”). Lion Street's capabilities are typically utilized when Life/Annuity
products would be in the best interest of the Client. Kore's capabilities are typically utilized when Property & Casualty products
would be in the best interest of the Client.
The sale and implementation of life, property, casualty, and in certain limited circumstances, advanced life insurance, are separate and apart
from Naviter Wealth's wealth management services. Insurance revenue/commissions are separate and in addition to advisory fees.
This practice presents a conflict of interest because the Advisor is providing both Investment and Insurance advice. This can
create an incentive to recommend insurance products to effectuate revenue beyond a Client's basic needs. However, Clients are
under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with the Advisor.

Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Naviter may receive a performance fee based upon any gains obtained in the accounts of “Qualified Clients”, pursuant to the
terms of the wealth management agreement, or in accordance with the governing documents for an investment vehicle
managed by Naviter. Only qualified Clients with at least $25,000,000 in assets under management with the Advisor
will be allowed to utilize a performance fee structure. This minimum may be waived at the Advisor’s sole discretion. Qualified
Clients that are charged a performance fee are charged a lower wealth management fee. The performance fee will be
calculated biannually and deducted from Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The performance fee will be 20% of any gains
(both realized and unrealized) above the applicable hurdle rate in the Client’s account[s] for the year.
The receipt of a performance fee by certain Clients results in a conflict of interest, where Naviter has the potential for higher
compensation from a Client. Naviter charges a lower wealth management fee to Clients that are charged a Performance Fee.
Regarding side-by-side management, Naviter receives different types of fees, such as asset-based and performance-based fees.
Managing Clients who are charged different types of fees creates conflicts of interest between the Advisor and its Clients, in
addition to the ones listed above. For example, charging performance-based fees could incentivize the Advisor to allocate more
favorable investments to those Clients being charged a performance-based fee. Naviter has adopted and implemented policies
and procedures intended to address conflicts of interest relating to the management of multiple types of Clients, including
Clients with multiple fee arrangements, and the allocation of investment opportunities.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Naviter offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, businesses, charitable
organizations, broker/dealers, and retirement plans. Naviter generally does not impose a minimum relationship size but
does require Clients have at least $25,000,000 in assets under management with the Advisor in order to utilize a performance
fee structure. This minimum may be waived at the Advisor’s sole discretion.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Naviter primarily employs fundamental and technical analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from Naviter are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies, third- party
research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases
and research prepared by others.
Fundamental Analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criterion consists generally
of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed. Assets are deemed
suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with a value discounted by the market. While
this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will
increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have
negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic
allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical Analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and trends,
which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk in using technical
analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually
reoccur, there is no guarantee that Naviter will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
As noted above, Naviter generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial
goals. Naviter will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the
purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, Naviter may also buy and sell positions that
are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Naviter Wealth, LLC
1 Information Way, Suite 400

www.naviterwealth.com
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared
to bear the potential risk of loss. Naviter will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for
risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment
will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may lose value and may have
negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic
allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance
for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client participation in this process,
including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor
shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to
validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor
of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor
will collaborate with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Following are
some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks - The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall financial
markets.
ETF Risks - The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will
fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss
of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume.
The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or
the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the
same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Bond Risks - Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will
fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon rate of the
bond, (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than was previously being
earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that exceeds the income investment
thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk associated with purchasing a debt
instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the
risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the
company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) liquidity risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily
available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks - The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price
of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund
is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund
purchased later that same day.
Options Contracts - Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option
contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock.
This leverage can compound gains or losses.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships) - The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be
volatile and may have limited liquidity. An investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often
Naviter Wealth, LLC
1 Information Way, Suite 400
Little Rock, AR 72202
www.naviterwealth.com
have concentrated positions and investments that may carry higher risks. Client should only have a portion of their assets in
these investments.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) - Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain distinct risks in
addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. For Example, equity REITs may be affected
by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of
credit extended. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. REITs,
especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to interest rate risk (i.e., as interest rates rise, the value of the REIT may decline).
Non-Purpose Loans and Lines of Credit - Non-purpose loans and lines of credit carry a number of risks, including but not
limited to the risk of a market downturn, tax implications if collateralized securities are liquidated, and an increase in interest
rates. A decline in the market value of collateralized securities held in the account[s] at the Custodian, may result in a reduction
in the draw amount of the Client’s line of credit, a demand from the Lending Program that the Client deposit additional funds or
securities in the Client’s collateral account[s], or a forced sale of securities in the Client’s collateral account[s].
Margin Borrowings - The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if
securities pledged to brokers to secure a Client’s margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to a “margin
call”, pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of mandatory liquidation of the
pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.
Cash/Cash Equivalents - To the extent a fund or mandate holds cash or cash equivalents rather than securities or other
instruments in which it primarily invests, its risks losing opportunities to participate in market appreciation and may experience
potentially lower returns than its benchmark or other portfolios that remain fully invested.
Structured Products - Structured notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
or any other governmental agency. The terms and risks of each structured note vary materially depending on the nature and
volatility of the referenced asset, the credit-worthiness of the issuer, and the maturity of the instrument, among other factors.
The general risks associated with this type of investment include, but are not limited to, non-payment risk (payment of interest
and return of principal may be reduced, in whole or in part, due to underperformance of the referenced asset); counter-party
risk (for reasons such as bankruptcy, the issuer of the structured note may fail to pay all or a portion of the principal and interest
due on the structured note); underperformance risk (depending on market conditions, the structured note may underperform
alternative allocations to traditional bonds, the referenced asset, or a combination of such investments). Structured notes are
significantly riskier than conventional debt instruments. There is a risk of loss of some or all of the principal at maturity.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that
each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Naviter values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence
on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor or Advisory Persons are available on
the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD#
311508. Additionally, Mr. Blackmon was found to be in violation of FINRA Rules 3280 and 2010 in relation to personal and one
customer’s investments unaffiliated with the Advisor, which resulted in a suspension from associating in all capacities with any
FINRA member for a three-month period, ending June 14 2022. Please note, neither Mr. Blackmon nor the Advisor are currently
associated with a FINRA member broker-dealer. Additional information on Mr. Blackmon’s disclosure is available on the
Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with his CRD# 2627221.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in item 5, the Advisor is affiliated through common control and ownership with Naviter Insurance, LLC (“Naviter
Insurance”), a licensed insurance agency. Certain Advisory Persons of the Advisor are also licensed insurance professionals {life,
property, & casualty}.
Naviter Wealth, LLC
1 Information Way, Suite 400
Little Rock, AR 72202
www.naviterwealth.com
Naviter Insurance earns commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including products sold to Clients of
Naviter. To facilitate the sale and implementation of insurance products, Naviter typically utilizes the services of Lion Street and
Kore Insurance Holdings (“Kore”). Lion Street's capabilities are typically utilized when Life/Annuity products would be in the
best interest of the Client. Kore's capabilities are typically utilized when Property & Casualty products would be in the best
interest of the Client.
The sale and implementation of life, property, casualty, and in certain limited circumstances, advanced life insurance, are separate and apart
from Naviter Wealth's wealth management services. Insurance revenue/commissions are separate and in addition to advisory fees.
This practice presents a conflict of interest because the Advisor is providing both Investment and Insurance advice. Additionally,
Naviter Holdings, LLC, the entity which owns the Advisor has an agreement in place where compensation can be received for the
referral of clients to Kore who decide to purchase insurance from them. The previously mentioned practices create an incentive to
recommend insurance products to effectuate revenue beyond a Client's basic needs. However, Clients are under no obligation,
contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any person not affiliated or affiliated with the Advisor.
Financial Institution and Consulting Services
Naviter has an agreement with MSI to provide investment consulting services to Brokerage Customers, as noted in Item 4 –
Advisory Services. This consulting arrangement does not include assuming discretionary authority over Brokerage Customers’
brokerage accounts or the monitoring of securities. These consulting services offered to Brokerage Customers includes a general
review of Brokerage Customers’ investment holdings, which will result in Advisory Persons making specific securities
recommendations or offering general investment advice. This relationship presents a conflict of interest. Potential conflicts
are mitigated by Brokerage Customers consenting to receive consulting services from the Advisor. In addition, Naviter will not
accept or bill for additional compensation on assets under MSI’s management, beyond the consulting fees disclosed in Item 5
above. Advisory Persons of the Advisor will not engage or hold itself as a registered representative of MSI, as Advisory Persons
are not registered to conduct commission-based activities under a broker-dealer.
Alleviant, LLC
A Management Person of the Advisor serves as a board member of Alleviant, LLC (“Alleviant”), a private equity investment.
Alleviant is a group of mental health and counseling clinics in the state of Arkansas. Certain clients of the Adviser are invested in
the organization. Alleviant has not been solicited to Clients of the Advisor.
Goldenrod Companies, LLC
Certain Management Persons of the Advisor serve on the investment committee of Goldenrod Companies (“Goldenrod”).
Goldenrod sponsors private funds that are focused on real estate in the Central United States markets. Certain Clients of the
Advisor are currently invested in the private funds and may be solicited to invest in future funds offered by Goldenrod.
Management Persons with the Advisor are not compensated by Goldenrod or for any investments in the private funds
and the Advisor will only recommend an investment when it’s in the Client’s best interest. Clients are not obligated to invest in
order to maintain an advisory relationship with the Advisor.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Naviter has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code
applies to all persons associated with Naviter (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical
guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each Client. Naviter and its Supervised Persons owe a duty
of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Naviter’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to
the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that
address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (501) 333-9800.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Naviter allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased
on behalf of Clients. Naviter does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general
partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Naviter does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client
accounts.
Naviter Wealth, LLC
1 Information Way, Suite 400
Little Rock, AR 72202
www.naviterwealth.com
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Naviter allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased
on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients presents a conflict of
interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and procedures. As noted above,
the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment;
outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a
conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated
if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public
information. This risk is mitigated by Naviter requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for
review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to
detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Naviter allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased
on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterward. At no time will Naviter, or any
Supervised Person of Naviter, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Naviter does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution services.
The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and authorize Naviter to
direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, Naviter does not have the
discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Naviter does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian to Clients for
custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian recommended by the Advisor and will not incur
any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not recommended by Naviter. However, the Advisor
may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. Naviter may recommend the
Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made
available to the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
Naviter will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA-
registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. Naviter maintains an
institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits. Please see Item 14 – Client Referrals
and Other Compensation below.
The following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
Soft Dollars – Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters into an
agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services. Naviter
does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor
receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below.
Brokerage Referrals – Naviter does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the
recommendation for establishing an account.
Directed Brokerage – All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Naviter will place trades within the
established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective
account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own
account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another
Client’s account[s]). Naviter will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have
an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
Naviter Wealth, LLC
1 Information Way, Suite 400
Little Rock, AR 72202
www.naviterwealth.com
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable
net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5)
skill required of the Custodian. Naviter Wealth will execute its transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client.
Naviter Wealth may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian
for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or
time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent
with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or
disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts. For Clients invested in an UMA program, Envestnet’s trading policies are to
aggregate transactions in the same security on behalf of more than one Client to facilitate best execution and to possibly
reduce the price per share and other costs. Envestnet effects the aggregated transactions in a manner designed to ensure that
no participating client is favored over any other client.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by the Chief Compliance Officer of Naviter. Formal
reviews are generally conducted at least annually depending on the needs of the Client. The Advisor generally attempts to offer
quarterly calls/reviews. Performance reports are distributed to clients monthly.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13. A, each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews
may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic
conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s].
The Client is encouraged to notify Naviter if changes occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely
affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements are sent
directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s website so that the
Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions
and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings,
allocations, and performance.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Naviter
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform - Naviter has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its
“Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving
independent advisory firms like Naviter. As a
registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Naviter receives access to software and
related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at
Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all services provided by Schwab will
benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients
should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these
benefits can influence the Advisor's recommendation of Schwab over a custodian that does not furnish similar software, systems
support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment
products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through Schwab, the Advisor
may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able to obtain directly or through other
sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and other investments without having to adhere to
investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to directly access the investments.
Naviter Wealth, LLC
1 Information Way, Suite 400
Little Rock, AR 72202
www.naviterwealth.com
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology, research,
discounts, and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts, the ability to deduct
advisory fees, trading tools, and back-office support services as part of its relationship with Schwab. These services are intended
to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients but may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial support to Naviter that may not
benefit the Client, including educational conferences and events, financial start-up support, consulting services, and
discounts for various service providers. Additionally, Schwab has agreed to pay for certain services rendered by third parties for
which the Advisor would otherwise have to pay. This amount is covered once the value of Client assets in accounts at Schwab
reaches a certain size. Clients do not pay more for assets maintained at Schwab as a result of these arrangements. However,
the Advisor does benefit from the arrangement because the cost of these services would otherwise be borne directly by the
Advisor. Access to these services and financial support creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which
results in a conflict of interest. Naviter believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of
its Clients. Clients should consider these conflicts of interest when selecting a custodian.
Referrals to Non-Advisory Professionals - The Advisor may refer Clients to other non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys,
accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. In such instances,
there is a conflict of interest as the Advisor will receive a referral fee for the referrals. To mitigate this conflict, the Advisor will
provide Clients with disclosures outlining the financial incentive of a Client’s engagement with a non-advisory professional.
Clients are not obligated to engage any non-advisory professionals to maintain an advisory relationship.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to the Advisor by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and receive,
directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, the Advisor will compensate the Promoter a fee in
accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act and any corresponding state securities requirements. Any such compensation
shall be paid solely from the investment advisory fees earned by the Advisor and shall not result in any additional charge to the
Client.
Item 15: Custody
Naviter does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction of advisory
fees, all Clients for whom Naviter exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a "qualified custodian." Clients
are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and securities and must instruct Naviter to utilize
that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the
Custodian and compare to any reports provided by Naviter to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Naviter to move funds between their accounts, Naviter
and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money movement activities are conducted strictly in
accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Naviter generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without
obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment
objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by Naviter. Discretionary authority will only
be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an
investment advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Naviter
will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Unless the Client directs otherwise in writing, Naviter is responsible for voting Client proxies. However, assets allocated
to Independent Managers shall be voted by the Independent Manager. The Client shall maintain exclusive responsibility for all
Naviter Wealth, LLC
1 Information Way, Suite 400
Little Rock, AR 72202
www.naviterwealth.com
legal proceedings or other type events pertaining to the account assets, including, but not limited to, class action lawsuits.
Naviter shall forward any class action documentation inadvertently received to the appropriate Client.
Naviter understands its duty to vote Client proxies and to do so in the best interest of its Clients. Furthermore, it is understood
that any material conflicts between the Advisor’s interests and those of our Clients with regard to proxy voting must be resolved
before proxies are voted. Our firm subscribes to a proxy monitor and voting agent service offered by Egan-Jones Proxy Services
(“Egan-Jones”), a third-party, independent proxy advisory firm to vote proxies in order to mitigate risks involved with any
conflicts of interest that might otherwise arise in the voting of client proxies. Although Naviter expects to vote proxies according
to Egan-Jones’s recommendations, certain issues may need to be considered on a case-by-case basis due to the diverse and
continually evolving nature of corporate governance issues. If such cases should arise, then Naviter will devote appropriate time
and resources to consider those issues.
Where Naviter is responsible for voting proxies on behalf of a Client, the Client cannot direct the vote on a particular solicitation.
The Client can decline to assign proxy voting authority to Naviter during the account opening process. Proxies will then be sent
to the address of record by default. In situations where there may be a conflict of interest in the voting of proxies due to business
or personal relationships that Naviter maintains with persons having an interest in the outcome of certain votes, Naviter will
take appropriate steps, whether by following Egan-Jones’s recommendation or otherwise, to ensure that proxy voting
decisions are made in what it believes is in the best interest of its Clients and are not the product of any such conflict.
Item 18: Financial Information
Neither, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of Naviter to meet
all obligations to its Clients. Neither, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to bankruptcy or financial compromise.
Naviter is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance
fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
