Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Procyon Advisors, LLC dba Procyon Partners (“Procyon” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Procyon is organized as a Limited Liability Company
(“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Delaware. Procyon was founded in April 2017 and is owned by Procyon
Partners, LLC. The Principal Officers of Procyon are Christopher E. Foster, Jeffrey H. Farrar, Louis Gloria, Phil J.
Fiore, Jr., and Thomas M. Gahan. This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications,
business practices, and the advisory services provided by Procyon.
For questions regarding this Disclosure Brochure, please contact Christopher E. Foster, President and Chief
Compliance Officer, at cfoster@procyonpartners.net.
B. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Procyon manages $7,769,672,465 in Client assets, $2,770,256,485 of which are managed
on a discretionary basis and $4,999,415,980 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request additional information
from the Advisor at any time.
C. Advisory Services Offered
Procyon offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates,
businesses, institutional investors, retirement plans, and registered investment advisors (each referred to as a
“Client”). Procyon provides comprehensive investment management, financial planning and consulting services
tailored to the individual needs of each Client. Procyon also provides investment advisory services to pooled
investment vehicles (each referred to as a “Private Fund”).
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 towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. Procyon’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.
Investment Management Services
Procyon provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment
management, planning and related advisory services. Procyon typically offers these as a bundled advisory
engagement, but may, in certain circumstances, offer as individual services. Procyon works closely with each Client
to develop an investment strategy that seeks to achieve the goals of the Client.
Internal Investment Management – Procyon customizes its investment management services for its Clients.
Portfolios are primarily constructed using mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual stocks and
fixed income securities. The Advisor may also utilize other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs
of each Client. The Advisor generally constructs portfolios in alignment with its internal strategies but 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.
Procyon evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Procyon’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or
re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. If it is consistent with the Client’s goals, the Advisor may also engage in an investment strategy that
utilizes frequent trading in securities, please see Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of
Loss for more information. Procyon will construct, implement and monitor the Client’s 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,

Page 4
subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
Procyon will select mutual funds and ETFs on a fund-by-fund basis. Procyon will seek to select the lowest cost
share class available that is in the best interest of each Client and will ensure the selection aligns with the Client’s
financial objectives and stated investment guidelines. Procyon may select, recommend or retain a mutual fund
share class that has higher internal expense ratios than institutional share classes if warranted by specific custodial
and/or mutual fund company constraints, material tax considerations and/or systematic investment plans.
Procyon, in its discretion, may redistribute investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Procyon may
use/recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may use/recommend
cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Procyon may also sell or 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 Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable
for the Client’s risk tolerance.
All Client assets will be managed within their designated account[s] at the Independent Custodian, pursuant to the
terms of the Client wealth management agreement, please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Held-Away Accounts – In limited circumstances where the Client and Advisor have agreed, by virtue of allowing
the Adviser to establish a link with an unaffiliated third party, the Client has given the Adviser discretionary authority
to provide investment recommendations or advice for certain Assets held away from the primary custodian. The
Client understands that certain credential information will be disclosed to this unaffiliated third party and the Advisor
will at no time have access to this credential information.
Retirement Plan 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 – Procyon may invest or recommend that all or a portion of a Client’s investment
portfolio be implemented by utilizing one or more unaffiliated money managers or investment platforms (collectively
“Independent Managers”). Independent Managers may be sourced directly or accessed through an investment
management platform. The Client may be required to enter into a separate agreement with the Independent
Manager[s]. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations for additional information.
Procyon serves as the Client’s primary advisor and relationship manager. However, the Independent Manager[s]
will assume discretionary authority for the day-to-day investment management of those assets placed in their
control. Procyon will assist and advise the Client in establishing investment objectives for their account[s], the
selection of the Independent Manager[s], and defining any restrictions on the account[s]. Procyon will continue to
provide oversight of the Client’s account[s] and ongoing monitoring of the activities of these unaffiliated parties.
The Independent Manager[s] will implement the selected investment strategies based on their investment
mandates. The Client may be able to impose reasonable investment restrictions on these accounts, subject to the
acceptance of these third parties. Procyon does not receive any compensation from these Independent Managers
or Investment Platforms, other than its investment advisory fee (described in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation).
Non-Purpose Loans and Lines of Credit – The Advisor may introduce certain Clients to a non-purpose revolving
line of credit made available through various third-party custodians secured by eligible assets held in an account
Procyon Advisors, LLC dba Procyon Partners
1 Corporate Drive, Suite 225, Shelton, CT 06484
Phone: (475) 232-2704 | Fax: (475) 232-2747
http://procyonpartners.net
Page 5
maintained at the Custodian. (“Lending Program”). In such instances, the Client’s assets in their account[s] at the
Custodian will be utilized as collateral for a non-purpose revolving line of credit without disturbing their long-term
investment strategy, i.e. needing to sell positions that could generate tax consequences. The recommendation of
a Lending Program presents a conflict of interest as the Advisor will continue 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 and the Advisor does not derive any compensation from a Client’s participation in the
Lending Program. For additional information related to the risks involved with utilizing non-purpose 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, Procyon 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 Procyon Trust. Clients will enter into a separate agreement with NAH. Procyon will serve as the
investment manager to any accounts established with NAH and earn an investment management fee as noted
above. Procyon does not serve as a trustee for any account relationships.
The Advisor shall have the power to direct NAH to pay to or apply for the benefit of the beneficiary so much or all
of the income and principal as the Advisor deems advisable in its uncontrolled discretion for any purpose taking
into consideration all funds and assistance the Advisor knows to be available to the beneficiary from any
government agency and any other source (the “Benefits”). The Advisor shall be fully protected at any time or times
in relying on a written statement from the beneficiary or, while the beneficiary is a minor or is incapacitated, a
parent or legal representative of the beneficiary, that no Benefits are then available.
The Advisor shall consult annually to determine a general policy regarding fund liquidity and anticipated needs of
the beneficiary.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Procyon defines financial planning as a collaborative process that helps maximize a Client’s potential for meeting life
goals through Financial Advice that integrates relevant elements of the Client’s personal and financial circumstances.
Procyon subscribes to the CFP Board’s process of seven steps of financial planning.
1. Understanding the Client’s Personal and Financial Circumstances
2. Identifying and Selecting Goals
3. Analyzing the Client’s Current Course of Action and Potential Alternative Course(s) of Action
4. Developing the Financial Planning Recommendation(s)
5. Presenting the Financial Planning Recommendation(s)
6. Implementing the Financial Planning Recommendation(s)
7. Monitoring Progress and Updating
Procyon will typically provide a variety of financial planning services to Clients as part of the investment advisory
engagement or as a separate planning-only engagement. Generally, such financial planning services will involve
preparing a financial plan or delivering a financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives.
This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to investment
planning, retirement planning, estate planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and other
areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation with, the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. While most financial plans are
primarily delivered in writing, for consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written
Procyon Advisors, LLC dba Procyon Partners

Page 6
summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract date, assuming all
information and documents requested are provided promptly by the client.
Procyon may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other professional, as appropriate for their unique
situation.
Financial Planning is a core service for our financial planning and investment management clients. For Clients who
only engage Procyon to deliver a Financial plan, a conflict of interest exists between the interests of Procyon and
the interests of the Client, as Procyon would make additional revenue if retained to manage the Client’s investments
and/or implement the recommendations of the plan. While this conflict exists, Procyon advisors act as fiduciaries
in the best interest of the clients at all times and Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations
made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor.
Since financial planning is core to what we do for most clients at Procyon, should a client not desire financial
planning services the Procyon Advisor has four choices. 1. Not enter into the Engagement; 2. Limit the Scope of
Engagement to services that do not require application of the Financial Planning Practice Standards, and describe
to the Client the services the Client requests the advisor not perform; 3. Provide the requested services after
informing the Client how Financial Planning would benefit the Client and how the decision not to engage the advisor
to provide Financial Planning may limit the Procyon’s professional’s Financial Advice, in which case the advisor is
not required to comply with the CFP Practice Standards; or 4. Terminate the Engagement.
The Duty of Loyalty requires the firm’s Advisors to: i. Place the interests of the Client above the interests of the
Advisor and the Firm; ii. Avoid Conflicts of Interest, or fully disclose Material Conflicts of Interest to the Client, obtain
the Client’s informed consent, and properly manage the conflict; and iii. Act without regard to the financial or other
interests of the Advisor, the Advisor’s Firm, or any other individual or entity other than the Client, which means that
an Advisor acting under a Conflict of Interest continues to have a duty to act in the best interests of the Client and
place the Client’s interests above the Advisor’s. Disclosure of Material Conflicts of Interest by itself is not sufficient
to fulfill the Duty of Loyalty.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Procyon provides customized advisory services to corporate, government and not-for-profit retirement plans (each
a “Plan”) pursuant to The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Services include both
fiduciary and non-fiduciary services to the sponsor of the Plan (the “Plan Sponsor”) and the participants of the Plan
(“Plan Participants”). Services may be provided on a non-discretionary basis (ERISA 3(21) Fiduciary Services) or
on a discretionary basis (ERISA 3(38) Services). Advisory services are negotiated based on the needs of the Plan
and the Plan Sponsor and are included in the terms of a retirement plan advisory agreement.
The Advisor provides the following core services to Plans and their Plan Sponsors:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) – The Advisor will assist with the development and preparation of a document
that describes the overall investment objectives, risk tolerance and guidelines for the Plan. If the Plan does not
have an IPS, the Advisor will provide recommendations to the Plan Sponsor to assist with establishing an IPS. If
the Plan has an existing IPS, the Advisor will review it for consistency with the Plan’s objectives. If the IPS does
not represent the objectives of the Plan, the Advisor will recommend to the Plan Sponsor revisions to align the IPS
with the Plan’s objectives. The Advisor will review the IPS on a periodic basis.
Asset Allocation Studies & Analysis – The Advisor will conduct periodic evaluation, analysis and studies
of your asset allocation strategy based on, among other things, your liquidity requirements, performance
goals and risk tolerance. As part of these services the Advisor may assist you in the development and
preparation of asset allocation models.
Investment Searches – Based on the Plan’s IPS or other guidelines established by the Plan, the Advisor
will review and recommend for your consideration mutual funds, exchange traded investments, separately
managed accounts, collective trusts, and/or alternative investments or other Designated Investment
Alternatives (“DIAs”). If the IPS criteria require any manager to be removed, the Advisor will provide

Page 7
recommendations to assist the Plan Sponsor with evaluating replacements. In determining which share
classes to recommend for DIAs, the Advisor will consider the limitations of the Plan’s recordkeeping
platform and/or custodian and the Plan fiduciary’s direction regarding plan expenses.
Investment Review, Evaluation and Reporting – Once the Plan Sponsor selects the DIAs, the Advisor will
provide quarterly investment evaluation and review including the review of performance on an absolute
and relative basis along with additional information to assist the Plan Sponsor with monitoring the DIAs.
When appropriate, based on this information, the Advisor will assist in conducting a search for a new DIA
and will provide recommendations to assist the Plan Sponsor with replacing the DIA.
Qualified Default Investment Alternative – Based on the Plan’s IPS or other guidelines established by the
Plan, the Advisor will review the investment options available to the Plan and will make recommendations
to assist the Plan Sponsor with selecting or replacing the Plan’s Qualified Default Investment Alternative
(“QDIA”).
In addition to the core services above, the Advisor may also provide some or all of the following services pursuant
to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement:

Procyon may provide educational seminars or workshops to retirement plans and their participants either as a

Information presented will not be based on any one person’s need, nor does Procyon provide individualized
investment advice to attendees during these general sessions.
Institutional Consulting Services
Procyon also provides consulting services to Clients in various areas of need. Services are custom to the scope of
each engagement. For certain engagements, the Advisor will provide a formal report or deliverable.
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.
Model Portfolio Signal Provider
Procyon also provides model delivery services to third-party registered investment advisors. In such instances,
Procyon delivers model portfolio signals and trade recommendations based on predefined methodologies and
strategies. Signals may include asset allocation recommendations, trade alerts, risk management guidance, and
market commentary. The model portfolios, including changes thereto, shall be provided to third-party registered
investment advisors free of material errors and on a timely basis in conjunction with effecting such transactions in
accounts that are managed by Procyon under the same strategy generally and in accordance to any then prevailing
trade allocation policies and procedures of Procyon.
Private Fund Advisor
Procyon also serves as an investment advisor to Private Funds. These services are detailed in the offering
documents for the Private Funds, which include as applicable, operating agreements, private placement
memorandum and/or term sheets, subscription agreements, separate disclosure documents, and all amendments
thereto (“Offering Documents”).
The Advisor manages the Private Funds based on the investment objectives, policies and guidelines as set forth
in the respective Offering Documents and not in accordance with the individual needs or objectives of any particular
investor therein. Each prospective investor interested in investing in the Private Funds is required to complete a
subscription agreement in which the prospective investor attests as to whether or not such prospective investor
meets the qualifications to invest in the Private Funds and further acknowledges and accepts the various risk
factors associated with such an investment.
For more detailed information on investment objectives, policies and guidelines, please refer to the
respective Private Fund’s Offering Documents.
D. Client Account Management

and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Procyon, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.

E. Wrap Fee Programs
Procyon does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by Procyon.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Procyon strives to be clear and transparent in explaining our fees so clients completely understand what they are
paying us. The following paragraphs detail the fee structure 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.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
In summary, a Client may pay fees comprised of three separate components: Procyon’s Investment Advisory Fee, a
custodial fee to the Client’s engaged custodian, and any investment management or investment program fees, if
applicable, for the use of ETFs, Mutual Funds and/or Independent Managers.
Investment Management Services
This represents the only compensation Procyon receives from clients. Our fees are collected quarterly, in advance of
each calendar quarter and generally charged during the first month, pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory
agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the
prior calendar quarter, but may also be offered as a fixed fee. For Clients who are assessed a fixed fee, the Advisor
may impose an annual inflation rider on the advisory fees in accordance with the advisory agreement.
Asset-based investment advisory fees are based on the following schedule:
Assets Under Management
Up to $1,000,000
$1,000,001 to $5,000,000
$5,000,001 to $10,000,000
$10,000,001 to $20,000,000
$20,000,001 to $50,000,000
$50,000,001 to $100,000,000
Over $100,000,000
Annual Fee (%)
1.25%
1.00%
0.75%
0.65%
0.55%
0.45%
Negotiable
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Certain Clients may have a fixed
annual fee or fixed rate fee or a fee schedule that differs from the above and accounts from related clients are typically
grouped together to achieve the highest asset value possible to result in the lowest fee possible. The Client’s fees
will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with Advisor. Investment advisory fees include
financial planning and consulting services, unless separately engaged for those services. All securities held in
accounts managed by Procyon will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic
reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.

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 commissions, fees, and costs.
Use of Independent Managers – For Client account[s] implemented through an Independent Manager or Turnkey
Asset Management Program or (“TAMP”), the Client’s overall fees will oftentimes include Procyon’s investment
advisory fee (as noted above) plus investment fees and/or platform fees charged by the Independent Manager[s], as
applicable. The Independent Manager may assume responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees
from the Client’s account[s].
As discussed in Item 10 below, Procyon uses Dynasty Financial Partners, LLC (“Dynasty”) TAMP services. TAMP
related charges are not included in the investment management fee you pay to Procyon. You will be charged,
separate from and in addition to your investment management fee, any applicable program fees as well as applicable
independent manager fees.
Each of the program and independent manager fees are determined by the program(s) and manager(s) with which
your assets are invested and are calculated based upon a percentage of your assets under management, as
applicable.
For ease of administration, Clients will note the total fee reflected on the custodial statement will represent the sum
of Procyon’s investment management fee, program fee(s) and independent manager fee(s), accordingly. You should
review such statements to determine the total amount of fees associated with your requisite investments, and you
should review your investment management agreement with Procyon to determine the investment management fee
you pay to us.

B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees will be calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s]
at the Custodian. The Advisor 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 respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with Procyon at the end of the prior
quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the
investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the
Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written
authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Procyon directly from their accounts held by the Custodian
as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
The Client may make additions or withdrawals from the account[s] at any time, subject to the Advisor’s right to
terminate an account or the overall relationship. If assets in excess of $10,000 are deposited into or withdrawn from
the Client’s account[s], an adjustment will be made in the next billing period to reflect the fee difference. Additions
may be in cash or securities provided that the Advisor reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or
decline to accept particular securities into a Client’s account[s]. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to
Procyon, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, the Advisor typically designs

Page 12
its investment portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a
Client’s investment objectives. Procyon may consult the Client about the implications of such transactions. Clients
are advised that when such securities are liquidated, they may be subject to securities transaction fees, short-term
redemption fees, and/or tax ramifications.
Held-Away Accounts – In addition, where appropriate, the Adviser may deduct advisory fees from other accounts
managed by the Adviser. If the Advisor deducts advisory fees from a different account, these advisory fees will be
deducted from taxable accounts only.
Use of Independent Managers – Client account[s] implemented through Independent Manager[s] will be billed in
accordance to the separate agreement[s] with the respective parties. These parties will typically add Procyon’s
investment advisory fee and deduct the overall fee from the Client’s account[s].

Custodian as described above for investment management services.

Fiduciary & Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement.
Educational Seminar and Workshops
Educational seminar and workshop fees are due upon completion of the engagement.
Institutional Consulting Services
Institutional consulting fees are generally invoiced upon receipt of the agreed upon deliverable[s]. However, the
Advisor may require an advance payment that represents no more than 50% of the expected fee.
Model Portfolio Signal Provider

accounts, invested period, and model portfolio.

C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Procyon, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all securities execution and
custody fees charged by the Custodian, if 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 Procyon are separate and distinct from these
custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Procyon for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the internal
management expenses charged by 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. The Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees
charged by Procyon to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Additionally, as noted above, if warranted Procyon
will select share classes which have higher internal expense ratios than institutional share classes. Please refer to
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
Private Fund Advisor
Investors may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Procyon, in connection with
investments made in the Private Funds. The Private Funds are responsible for paying its own expenses, which
include but are not limited to legal, accounting, regulatory, and other expenses relating to the formation and/or
organization of the Private Funds. These expenses are borne by investors. Each investor is responsible for their
own expenses and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the organization of, their admission to, and the
maintenance of their interest in the Private Fund. For more detailed information on the fees and compensation,
please refer to the respective Private Fund’s Offering Documents.

Similar to investment management services described above, either party may terminate their trust fiduciary
services agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. Clients will receive a

Client’s agreement. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the
Client’s prior consent.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services

the other party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning 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 Client shall be responsible for fees based on the hours worked by the Advisor or in the
case of a fixed fee engagement, the percentage of the engagement completed. Upon termination, any unearned
prepaid financial planning fees will be promptly refunded to the Client. The Client’s financial planning agreement with
the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Procyon is compensated for its services at the end of the quarter in which advisory services are rendered. Either
party may terminate the Investment Fiduciary & Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client shall be responsible for Investment Fiduciary & Retirement Plan
Consulting fees up to and including the effective date of termination. The Advisor will bill any earned retirement plan
advisory fees from the beginning of the quarter to the effective date of termination. The Client’s Investment Fiduciary
& Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Educational Seminar and Workshops
Procyon is compensated upon completion of the engagement. Either party may terminate the seminar agreement, at
any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client shall be responsible for fees up to and
including the effective date of termination. The Client’s seminar agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable
without the Client’s prior consent.

termination. The Client’s Model Portfolio Distribution Agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the
Client’s prior consent.
Private Fund Advisor
The terms for termination of the advisory agreement are outlined in the respective Private Fund’s Offering
Documents.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Procyon does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any Client account, other than the
investment advisory fees noted above.
Certain Advisory Persons may also be registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments (“PKS”). In
one’s separate capacity as registered representative of PKS, an Advisory Person will implement securities
transactions under PKS and not through Procyon. In such instances, an Advisory Person will receive commission-
based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of
investment company products. Compensation earned by an Advisory Person in one’s capacity as a registered
representative is separate and in addition to Procyon’s advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest
because Advisory Persons may have an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating
commissions rather than solely based on Client needs. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation
Procyon Advisors, LLC dba Procyon Partners

Page 15
provided by Advisory Persons. Neither the Advisor nor Advisory Persons will earn ongoing investment advisory
fees in connection with any products or services implemented in the Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a
registered representative Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations.
Certain Advisory Persons are licensed insurance professionals of Procyon Risk, LLC (“Procyon Risk”), an
insurance agency under common control with the Advisor. As an insurance professional, Advisory Persons and
Procyon Risk earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products
sold to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by Advisory Persons are separate and in addition to Procyon’s
advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because the person providing investment advice on
behalf of the Advisor who is also an insurance agent has an incentive to recommend insurance products to Clients
for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on Client needs. However, Clients are under
no obligation to purchase insurance products through Procyon Risk or any Advisory Person affiliated with the
Advisor. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Procyon does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
Procyon are as described in Item 5 above are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities
held by any Client.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Procyon offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates,
businesses, institutional investors, retirement plans, registered investment advisors, and pooled investment
vehicles. Procyon does not explicitly impose a minimum size for establishing a client relationship but does tailor its
services to meet the needs of high-net-worth Clients.
Private Fund Advisor
Unless otherwise permitted by the general partner of the Private Funds, each Limited Partner must be either: (A)
both an ”accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and a “qualified
purchaser,” as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company
Act”); or (B) a “knowledgeable employee” as defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4) of the Investment Company Act, in respect
of the Private Funds.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Procyon primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from Procyon 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 criteria
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.
As noted above, Procyon generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. Procyon 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, Procyon may also

http://procyonpartners.net
Page 16
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.
The Private Fund invests in alternative investment funds, with a focus on private equity and venture capital, and
potentially growth equity opportunities (“Portfolio Funds”). The Private Fund is unlikely to have a significant
exposure to private credit, real estate, and hedge funds. The Private Fund may hold between 3 – 9 interests in
individual Portfolio Funds. The Advisor expects that the Private Fund will invest in Portfolio Funds managed by
underlying managers that focus on investments primarily in the U.S. and other developed markets.
The Private Fund has certain investment limitations in order to limit the Private Fund’s concentration of investments.
The Private Fund will not invest more than fifty percent of its assets in Portfolio Funds managed by the same
Underlying Manager, more than forty percent of its assets in a single Portfolio Fund, or more than forty percent of
its assets in a single investment strategy.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities will fluctuate in value or may lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Procyon 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.
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 will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part
of the portfolio construction process. The Advisor shall also 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. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s
investment approach:
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 have 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.
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.
Bond Risks
Bond 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
Procyon Advisors, LLC dba Procyon Partners

Phone: (475) 232-2704 | Fax: (475) 232-2747
http://procyonpartners.net
Page 17
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.
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].
Alternative Investment Risks
Investments in alternative assets, such as hedge funds, private equity funds or credit funds, will involve significant
risks and other considerations and, therefore, may be undertaken by prospective investors capable of evaluating
and bearing such risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other factors, the risk factors set
forth in the offering documents for the alternative investment vehicle. As a result of these factors, as well as other
risks inherent in any investment, there can be no assurance that the alternative investment will meet their
investment objectives or otherwise be able to successfully carry out their investment programs.
Portfolio Fund Risks
Investment in Portfolio Funds involves a number of risks, including structural, regulatory, market and strategy-
related risks. In particular, Portfolio Funds may purchase certain instruments or utilize certain investment
techniques that carry specific risks. As Underlying Managers may pursue investment strategies or techniques not
described herein, and the Sponsor and General Partner may not have knowledge of, and has no ability to control,
the underlying managers’ pursuit of such investment strategies, additional risks may apply to any investment in the
Interests.
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
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Procyon. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its
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# 288239.
On or about May 11, 2015, Phil J. Fiore, Jr. was subject to a regulatory action by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”) for engaging in an outside business activity without notifying his then current employer. Without
admitting nor denying the allegations against him, Mr. Fiore consented to entry of the finding of facts against him,
was fined $5,000 and suspending from associating with any FINRA member for a period of 30 days. Mr. Fiore has
since satisfied the terms of this Order.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer Affiliation
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons of Procyon are also registered representatives of PKS. In one’s
separate capacity as a registered representative, an Advisory Person will receive commissions for the
implementation of recommendations for commissionable transactions. Clients are not obligated to implement any
Procyon Advisors, LLC dba Procyon Partners

Page 18
recommendation provided by an Advisory Person. Neither the Advisor nor its Advisory Person will earn ongoing
investment advisory fees in connection with any products or services implemented in one’s separate capacity as
a registered representative.
Procyon Benefits, LLC
The Advisor is also under common control with Procyon Benefits, LLC (“PB”) an employee benefits brokerage firm.
For employee benefits consulting services, Advisory Persons may refer Clients to Procyon Benefits which offers
employee benefits consulting and brokerage services. A referral fee may be paid from PB to the referring Advisory
Person. This practice presents a conflict of interest as Advisory Persons are incentivized to recommend clients
engage PB for their employee benefits needs. Fees collected from any product implementation referral do not
offset regular advisory fees. Clients are under no obligation to implement or purchase any insurance products
through a recommended insurance/benefits broker. Please see additional disclosure regarding insurance agency
affiliations below.
Procyon Risk, LLC
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are licensed insurance professionals through Procyon Risk, an
insurance agency under common control with the Advisor. Implementations of insurance recommendations are
separate and apart from one’s role with Procyon. As an insurance professional, Advisory Persons receive
customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products are
sold. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This creates a conflict of
interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to
implement any recommendations made by an Advisory Person or the Advisor.
In certain situations, Advisory Persons may recommend Clients engage a third-party insurance company to
implement insurance products. In such instances, the third-party insurance company will share in its revenue with
Procyon Risk which creates a conflict of interest in recommending certain third-party insurance companies. Clients
are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by an Advisory Person or the Advisor.
Affiliation with Dynasty Financial Partners
The Advisor maintains a business relationship with Dynasty Financial Partners, LLC (“Dynasty”). Dynasty offers
operational and back office core service support including access to a network of service providers. Through the
Dynasty network of service providers, Advisor has access to discounts on trading technology, transition support,
reporting, custody, brokerage, compliance, and other related consulting services.
While the Advisor believes this open architecture structure for operational services best serves the interests of its
advisory Clients, this relationship may potentially present certain conflicts of interest due to the fact that Dynasty
retains a portion of the platform or other third-party fees paid by the Advisor or Clients for the services referenced
herein.
Dynasty’s subsidiary, Dynasty Wealth Management, LLC (“DWM”), a registered investment advisor, also provides
access to a range of investment services, including separately managed accounts (“SMAs”), mutual fund and ETF
asset allocation strategies and unified managed accounts (“UMAs”) managed by external third-party managers
(collectively the “Investment Programs”). The Advisor may receive more advantageous pricing as assets increase,
which poses a conflict of interest with the Client.
The Advisor seeks, at all times, to ensure that any such conflicts are addressed on a fully disclosed basis and
investment decisions are handled in a manner that is aligned with its Clients’ best interests. The Advisor does not
receive any portion of the fees paid directly to Dynasty or the service providers made available through its platform,
and the Advisor reviews all such relationships on an ongoing basis in an effort to ensure Clients are receiving
competitive rates in relation to the quality and scope of the services provided.

Procyon may recommend that a Client’s investment portfolio be implemented through Procyon Navigator, via the
Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolio Service. This service is provided in connection with SWII, an affiliate of
Charles Schwab, Inc., one of the Advisor’s recommended Custodians. The Advisor does not receive compensation
from SWII, Schwab or any other affiliate for these services. Clients will not be additionally charged for this service,
please see Item 5 – Fees and Compensation for additional details.
Procyon Tax, LLC
Procyon offers access to a tax solution provided by third-party accounting firms ("TPAF"), under the business name
“Procyon Tax”. In such instances, the TPAF pay a portion of their revenue to Procyon for any Clients referred. This
practice presents a conflict of interest as management persons are incentivized to recommend that Clients engage
with these third-TPAFs for their tax needs. Clients are under no obligation to utilize the TPAFs in order to maintain
a relationship with the Advisor.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Procyon has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client. This
Code of Ethics applies to all persons associated with Procyon (“Supervised Persons”). The Code of Ethics was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to Clients.
Procyon and its personnel owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of
Procyon 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 of Ethics covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and
conflicts of interest. To request a copy of our Code of Ethics, please contact the Advisor at (475) 232-2704.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Procyon allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Procyon 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. Procyon does not have a material
interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Procyon 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 internal policies
and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted a Code of Ethics, which addresses insider trading
(material non-public information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. When trading for personal
accounts, Supervised Persons of Procyon 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 Procyon’s
required reporting of personal securities trades by its employees for review by the Chief Compliance Officer
(“CCO”). 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 Procyon 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 Procyon transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Investment Advisory Services
Procyon Advisors, LLC dba Procyon Partners
1 Corporate Drive, Suite 225, Shelton, CT 06484
Phone: (475) 232-2704 | Fax: (475) 232-2747
http://procyonpartners.net
Page 20
Procyon 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 Procyon to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
Further, Procyon does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
While Procyon does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian[s]
to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended Custodian and
will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not recommended by
Procyon. However, Procyon may be limited in the services it can provide if a recommended Custodian is not
engaged. Procyon 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, its reputation, and/or the location of the
Custodian’s offices.
After a careful evaluation of the major custodians available, Procyon will generally recommend that Clients
establish their account[s] at either:
• Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab
will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.” Procyon maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab,
whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Schwab.
• Fidelity Clearing and Custody Solutions, a division of Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC and related entities
and related entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc. (collectively “Fidelity”). Fidelity is an unaffiliated SEC-
registered broker-dealer and FINRA member. Fidelity will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.” The
Advisor maintains an institutional relationship with Fidelity, whereby the Advisor may receive economic
benefits from Fidelity.
The Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Schwab and Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing
Client account[s]. Access to the Schwab and Fidelity platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The platforms
includes brokerage, custody, administrative support, record keeping, technology, and related services designed to
support registered investment advisors like Procyon in serving Clients. These services are intended to serve the best
interests of the Advisor’s Clients.
Schwab and Fidelity may charge brokerage commissions (securities transaction fees) for effecting certain securities
transactions. Schwab and Fidelity enable the Advisor to obtain certain no-load mutual funds without securities
transaction fees and other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges. Schwab and Fidelity’s commission rates
are generally considered discounted from customary retail commission rates. However, the commissions and
transaction fees charged by Schwab and Fidelity may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians and
broker-dealers. Please see Item 14 below for additional information.
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.
Procyon does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer-custodian.
However, the Advisor does receive certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14
below.
Brokerage Referrals
Procyon does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for
establishing an account.
Directed Brokerage
Procyon Advisors, LLC dba Procyon Partners
1 Corporate Drive, Suite 225, Shelton, CT 06484
Phone: (475) 232-2704 | Fax: (475) 232-2747
http://procyonpartners.net
Page 21
All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Procyon 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], unless instructed otherwise by the Client. 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]). Procyon 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.
A Client may pay a commission that is higher than another qualified custodian might charge to effect the same
transaction. The Advisor has determined in good faith that the commissions charged by Schwab and Fidelity are
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best execution, the
determinative factor is not necessarily the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best
qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of the Custodian’s services, including the value of
research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. Accordingly, although the Advisor
will seek competitive rates to the benefit of all Clients, it may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission
rates for specific Client account transactions. Although the investment research products and services that may be
obtained by the Advisor will generally be used to service all of the Advisor’s Clients, they may not equally benefit
all Clients. Please also see Item 14.
Private Fund Advisor
As an investment advisor to Private Funds, the Advisor does not typically engage in active trading of publicly traded
securities. When, on occasion, the Advisor or the Private Funds transact in publicly traded securities, the Advisor will
seek to facilitate such transactions through the retention of broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
Investment Advisory Services
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. Procyon will execute its transactions through the Custodian
as designated by the Client, unless otherwise instructed by the Client.
Procyon may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the
Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts. 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 is done in a way that does not consistently
advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts.
Procyon provides Alpha Quant Investment Strategies to other investment advisors that conduct their own trades.
Procyon shall rotate its purchase and sale of securities on behalf of client accounts participating in the Alpha Quant
Strategies with the delivery of model portfolios to provide for fair and equitable treatment. All clients are in a single
trade rotation.
Clients that execute through other broker-dealers, such as for model delivery, directed brokerage and broker-
dealer platforms, are in a single trade rotation with direct clients of Procyon. Each broker-dealer and model portfolio
recipient are sequentially rotated with direct clients of Procyon, such that the relationship trading first one period is
moved to the last place for the next set of strategy recommendations, and each client following is moved up a
place in the rotation. New clients will be added to the end of the rotation list and move up a place each strategy
recommendation period. Procyon will not wait for the broker-dealer or model portfolio recipient to complete their
trading before moving on in the rotation.

Page 22
To the extent that more than one investment opportunity is suitable for multiple Private Funds, the Advisor will seek
to allocate the opportunity in a manner that is fair and equitable to each Private Fund in accordance with the
Offering Documents.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Investment Advisory Services
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Principals of Procyon and
periodicially by the CCO. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending
on the needs of the Client.
Private Fund Advisor
The investments made by the Private Funds are generally private, illiquid and long-term in nature. Accordingly, the
review process is not directed toward a short-term decision to dispose of securities. However, the Advisor closely
monitors companies in which the Private Funds invest, and periodically checks to confirm that the Private Funds
are maintained in accordance with its stated objectives as outlined in the Offering Documents.
B. Causes for Reviews
Investment Advisory Services
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A. above, 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 Procyon 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
Investment Advisory Services
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.
Private Fund Advisor
Investors in the Private Funds will receive audited financial statements no less than annually. The Advisor may
also provide Investors with periodic reports regarding the respective Private Fund’s holdings, allocations, and
performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Procyon
Procyon is a fee-based advisory firm that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment product.
Procyon does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers, or any
unrelated third party. Procyon may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys,
accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients.
Likewise, Procyon may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
As noted in item 12, Procyon has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity and Schwab to assist the
Advisor in managing Client account[s].
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform (Schwab)
Procyon Advisors, LLC dba Procyon Partners
1 Corporate Drive, Suite 225, Shelton, CT 06484
Phone: (475) 232-2704 | Fax: (475) 232-2747
http://procyonpartners.net
Page 23
Procyon has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Procyon. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Procyon 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 may influence the Advisor’s recommendation of this
custodian over one 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.
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 Procyon
that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support, consulting
services and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the
Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a conflict of interest. Procyon believes, however, that the selection
of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform (Fidelity)
The Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. As part of the arrangement, Fidelity also makes available to the Advisor, at no additional charge to the
Advisor, certain research and brokerage services, including research services obtained by Fidelity directly from
independent research companies. The Advisor may also receive additional services and support from Fidelity. As
a result of receiving such services for no additional cost, the Advisor may have an incentive to continue to use or
expand the use of Fidelity’s services. The Advisor examined this potential conflict of interest when it chose to enter
into the relationship with Fidelity and has determined that the relationship is in the best interests of the Advisor’s
Clients and satisfies its Client obligations, including its duty to seek best execution. Please see Item 12 above.
The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment
management services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. The software and related systems support may
benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. 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 and
financial support from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor’s
recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Additionally, the Advisor receives financial support from Fidelity for the transition of Client account[s] to Fidelity
(“Transition Assistance”) by reimbursing Clients for transfer costs. Additional financial support is dependent upon
the total assets under management that are transitioned to Fidelity. The following benefits are also received from
Fidelity: receipt of duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that
exclusively services its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate
securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic
communication network for Client order entry and account information.

Page 24
Marketing Support
Procyon may receive marketing support from various partners, vendors and/or product providers. Investment
decisions are not influenced by this support.
CironeFriedberg
As noted above, Procyon has entered into a referral arrangement with CironeFriedberg, a tax advisory firm.
CironeFriedberg provides tax advice services to Clients of Procyon and in return, shares in the revenue with
Procyon Tax. A conflict of interest exists in that Procyon has a financial incentive to recommend the tax services
of CironeFriedberg to Clients as Procyon receives referral fees from CironeFriedberg.
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.
Procyon also engages appointment setting and marketing firms to generate investor leads. Procyon pays a monthly
or per referral fee for these services. Use of these services do not result in any additional charges or higher fees
to Clients.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is deemed to have custody in the limited circumstances outlined below:
Private Fund Advisor – As the Advisor serves as the investment manager to the Private Funds, the Advisor is
deemed to have custody of certain Client assets. An independent public accountant conducts an annual audit of
the pooled investment vehicles that are managed by the related person and the audited financial statements are
distributed to the investors in the pools within 180 days of fiscal year end.
Deduction of Advisory Fees – To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Procyon 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 Procyon 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 Procyon to
ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review.
Money Movement Authorization – For instances where Clients authorize Procyon to move funds between their
accounts, Procyon 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
For its retail investment advisory services, Procyon 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 Procyon. 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 Procyon will be in
accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.

Page 25
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Procyon accepts the authority to vote a Client’s securities (i.e., proxies) on their behalf. When the Advisor accepts
such responsibility, it will cast proxy votes only in a manner it believes consistent with the best interest of its Clients.
At any time Clients may contact the Advisor to request information about how proxies were voted for that Client’s
securities. A brief summary of the Advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures is as follows:
The Advisor has engaged Broadbridge, a third-party, independent proxy advisory firm, to provide it with ProxyEdge
which provides research, analysis, and recommendations on the various proxy proposals for the securities that the
Advisor manages with the aim of maximizing shareholder value. In engaging ProxyEdge for that purpose, the
Advisor has reviewed ProxyEdge’s Proxy Guidelines for the current proxy voting season and has approved the
summary of ProxyEdge’s positions on the voting positions it recommends for the types of proposals most frequently
presented, including: election and composition of directors; financial reporting; compensation of management and
directors; corporate governance structure and anti-takeover measures; and environmental and social risks to
operations. The Advisor is in agreement with the approach ProxyEdge has set forth in its current ProxyGuidelines
for voting proxies. Although the Advisor, based on its approval of the positions in the Proxy Paper Guidelines,
expects to vote proxies according to ProxyEdge’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 the Advisor will devote appropriate time and resources to consider those issues. Where
Procyon is responsible for voting proxies on behalf of a Client, the Client cannot direct the Advisor’s vote on a
particular solicitation. The Client, however, can revoke Procyon’s authority to vote proxies. In situations where
there may be a conflict of interest in the voting of proxies due to business or personal relationships that Procyon
maintains with persons having an interest in the outcome of certain votes, the Advisor will take appropriate steps,
whether by following ProxyEdge’s third-party recommendation or otherwise, to ensure that proxy voting decisions
are made in what it believes is the best interest of its Clients and are not the product of any such conflict.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Procyon, nor its management, has any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability
of Procyon to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Procyon, nor any of its Advisory Persons, has been subject
to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Procyon 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.
