Item 4 Advisory Business
Roanoke Asset Management Corp. (referred to in this Brochure as "Roanoke" or “we”, “us” or "our") is a SEC-
registered investment adviser with its principal place of business located in New Jersey. Roanoke began
conducting business in 1978. As of 12/31/2024, Roanoke managed $362,392,748, all on a discretionary basis.
Listed below are Roanoke's principal shareholders (i.e., those individuals and/or entities controlling 25% or more
of this company).
Edwin G. Vroom, President
Adele S. Weisman, Senior Vice President
Roanoke offers the following advisory services to our clients:
INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES ("ISS")
INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
We provide continuous advice to our individual portfolio management clients regarding the investment of client
funds based on the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives
based on a client's particular circumstances are established, we develop a client's particular investment policy
and create and manage a portfolio based on that policy. During our data-gathering process, we determine the
client’s objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss
a client's prior investment history, including, in the case of individual clients, family composition and
background.
We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary basis. Account supervision is guided by the client's
stated objectives (e.g., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, growth and income, or preservation of
capital), as well as tax considerations.
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry
sectors.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or
insurance company and will generally include advice regarding the following securities:
Exchange-listed securities
Securities traded over-the-counter
Foreign issuers
Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
Municipal securities
United States governmental securities
Options contracts on securities
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented/recommended when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk,
liquidity and suitability.

Item 5 Fees and Compensation
INVESTMENT SUPERVISORY SERVICES ("ISS")
INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT FEES
Our annualized fee for Investment Supervisory Services is charged as a percentage of assets under management,
according to the following schedule:
1.00%
on the first $15 Million
0.875%
on the next $15 Million
0.75%
on the next $15 Million
0.625%
on the next $25 Million
0.50%
on the balance
Fees are charged quarterly in advance based on the assets under management on the last day of the quarter
immediately preceding the date of the bill.
Limited Negotiability of Advisory Fees
Although Roanoke has established the aforementioned fee schedule(s), we retain the discretion to negotiate
alternative fees on a client-by-client basis. Client facts, circumstances and needs are considered in determining
the fee schedule. These include assets to be placed under management, anticipated future additional assets;
related accounts; portfolio style, account composition, and reports, among other factors. The specific annual fee
schedule is identified in the contract between Roanoke and each client.
We may group certain related client accounts for the purposes of achieving the minimum account size
requirements and determining the annualized fee.
Discounts, not generally available to our advisory clients, may be offered to family members and friends of
associated persons of our firm.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Termination of the Advisory Relationship: A client agreement may be canceled at any time, by either party, for
any reason upon receipt of 30 days written notice. As disclosed above, certain fees are paid quarterly in advance
of services provided. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded.
In calculating a client's reimbursement of fees we will prorate the reimbursement according to the number of
days remaining in the billing period.
Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to Roanoke for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses,
and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred
sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without our services. In that case, the client would
not receive the services provided by our firm which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in
determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives.
Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the funds and our fees to fully understand the
total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided.
Additional Fees and Expenses: In addition to our advisory fees, clients are also responsible for the fees and
expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers, including, but not limited to, any transaction
charges imposed by a broker dealer with which an independent investment manager effects transactions for the
client's account(s). Please refer to the "Brokerage Practices" discussion in Item 12 of this Brochure for
‐ 5 ‐
additional information.
Grandfathering of Minimum Account Requirements: Pre-existing advisory clients are subject to Roanoke's
minimum account requirements and advisory fees in effect at the time the client entered into the advisory
relationship. Therefore, our firm's minimum account requirements will differ among clients.
ERISA Accounts: Roanoke is deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit plans or
individual retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Securities Act
("ERISA"), and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), respectively. As such, our
firm is subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code that include,
among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation.
Advisory Fees in General: Clients should note that similar advisory services may (or may not) be available from
other registered (or unregistered) investment advisers for similar or lower fees.
Limited Prepayment of Fees: Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of
$1,200 more than six months in advance of services rendered.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Roanoke does not charge performance-based fees and does not do side-by-side management.
Item 7 Types of Clients
Roanoke Asset Management provides advisory services to the following types of clients:
High net worth individuals
Pension and profit sharing plans (other than plan participants)
Charitable organizations
Corporations or other businesses not listed above
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing client assets:
Fundamental Analysis: We attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security by looking at economic and
financial factors (including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the financial condition and
management of the company itself) to determine if the company is underpriced (indicating it may be a good time
to buy) or overpriced (indicating it may be time to sell).
Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents a potential risk, as the
price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market regardless of the economic and financial
factors considered in evaluating the stock.
Mutual Fund and/or ETF Analysis: We look at the experience and track record of the manager of the mutual
fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if that manager has demonstrated an ability to invest over a period of
time and in different economic conditions. We also look at the underlying assets in a mutual fund or ETF in an
attempt to determine if there is significant overlap in the underlying investments held in another fund(s) in the
client’s portfolio. We also monitor the funds or ETFs in an attempt to determine if they are continuing to follow
their stated investment strategy.
‐ 6 ‐
A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past performance does not
guarantee future results. A manager who has been successful may not be able to replicate that success in the
future. In addition, as we do not control the underlying investments in a fund or ETF, managers of different
funds held by the client may purchase the same security, increasing the risk to the client if that security were to
fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment mandate or strategy of
the fund or ETF, which could make the holding(s) less suitable for the client’s portfolio.
Risks for all forms of analysis: Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption that the companies
whose securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review these securities, and other publicly-
available sources of information about these securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we try
to be alert to indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised
by inaccurate or misleading information.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
We use the following strategies in managing client accounts, provided that such strategies are appropriate to the
needs of the client and consistent with the client's investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizons,
among other considerations:
Long-term purchases: We purchase securities with the intention of holding them in the client's account for a
year or longer. Typically we employ this strategy when:
we believe the securities to be currently undervalued, and/or
we want exposure to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current projection for this class.
A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of time, we may not take
advantage of short-term gains that could be profitable to a client. Moreover, if our predictions are incorrect, a
security may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to sell.
Short-term purchases: When utilizing this strategy, we purchase securities with the idea of selling them within
a relatively short time (typically a year or less). We do this in an attempt to take advantage of conditions that we
believe will soon result in a price swing in the securities we purchase.
Trading: We purchase securities with the intention of selling them very quickly (typically within 30 days or
less). We do this in an attempt to take advantage of our predictions of brief price swings.
Short sales: We do not use this strategy. Selling securities short involves the risk of losing an amount greater
than the initial investment (in theory, losses from short sales can be unlimited) in a short period of time.
Margin transactions: If investment advisory clients requests the use of margin transactions, we may agree to do
so. In margin transactions, we will purchase stocks for a client's portfolio with money borrowed from the
custodian of the client's account. This allows the client to purchase more stock than it would be able to with
available cash and allows us to purchase stock without selling other holdings. Buying securities on margin
entails the use of leverage. While the use of borrowed funds can substantially improve the return on invested
capital, its use can also substantially increase reductions in the value of the client's investment portfolio.
Option transactions: We may use options as an investment strategy. An option is a contract that gives the buyer
the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset (such as a share of stock) at a specific price on or before a
certain date. An option, just like a stock or bond, is a security. An option is also a derivative, because it derives
its value from an underlying asset.
The two types of options are calls and puts:
A call gives the holder right to buy an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. We will buy a
call if we expect that the stock will increase substantially before the option expires.
‐ 7 ‐
A put gives the holder the right to sell an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. We will buy a
put if we expect that the price of the stock will fall before the option expires.
We will use options to speculate on the possibility of a sharp price swing. We will also use options to "hedge" a
purchase of the underlying security; in other words, we will use an option purchase to limit the potential upside
and downside of a security we have purchased for a client's portfolio.
We use "covered calls", in which we sell an option on a security the client owns. In this strategy, the client
receives a fee for making the option available, and the person purchasing the option has the right to buy the
security from the client at an agreed-upon price.
Purchasing put and call options, as well as selling such options, while generally only utilized to hedge
investments, are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks and may result in
substantial losses in excess of the cash invested in the position.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client's or prospective client's
evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our management.
Our firm and our management personnel have no reportable disciplinary events to disclose.
Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Our firm and our related persons are not engaged in other financial industry activities and have no other industry
affiliations.
Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Roanoke has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of business conduct that we
require of our employees, including compliance with applicable federal securities laws.
As a registered investment adviser, Roanoke has a fiduciary duty to its clients to act in the utmost good faith to
act solely in the best interests of its clients. This fiduciary duty is the core principle underlying our Code of
Ethics.
Our Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of our
employees will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii)
implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts.
Our Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the reporting and review of quarterly securities
transactions reports as well as initial and annual securities holdings reports that must be submitted by the firm’s
access persons. Among other things, our Code of Ethics also requires the prior approval of any acquisition of
securities in a limited offering (e.g., private placement). Our code also provides for oversight, enforcement and
recordkeeping provisions.
Our Code of Ethics further includes the firm's policy prohibiting the use of material non-public information and
safe-guarding our clients' non-public information. While we do not believe that we have any particular access to
material non-public information, all employees are reminded that such information may not be used in a personal
or professional capacity.
Our Code of Ethics requires high standards of conduct and avoidance of conflicts of interest by employees and
provides for reporting of violations of the Code and the imposition of appropriate sanctions for violations.
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to our advisory clients and prospective clients. A client may request a
copy by email sent to slb@roanokeasset.com, or by calling us at 201-985-1111.
‐ 8 ‐
Our firm and/or individuals associated with our firm may buy or sell for their personal accounts securities
identical to or different from those recommended to our clients. In addition, any related person(s) may have an
interest or position in a certain security(ies) which may also be recommended to a client.
We may aggregate our employee trades with client transactions where possible and when compliant with our
duty to seek best execution for our clients. In these instances, participating clients will receive an average share
price and transaction costs will be shared equally and on a pro-rata basis. In the instances where there is a partial
fill of a particular batched order, we will allocate all purchases pro-rata, with each account paying the average
price. Our employee accounts will be excluded from the pro-rata allocation.
As these situations represent actual or potential conflicts of interest to our clients, we have established the
following policies and procedures for implementing our firm’s Code of Ethics, to ensure our firm complies with
its regulatory obligations and provides our clients and potential clients with full and fair disclosure of such
conflicts of interest:
1. No principal or employee of our firm may put his or her own interest above the interest of an advisory client.
2. No principal or employee of our firm may buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s) where their
decision is a result of information received as a result of his or her employment unless the information is also
available to the investing public.
3. No person employed by us may purchase or sell any security at a time when such trade would benefit from
transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account. Access Persons are required to report all of their
personal securities trades to each other. This prevents such employees from benefiting from transactions
placed on behalf of advisory accounts.
4. Roanoke does not permit any IPO investments by related persons of the firm.
5. We maintain a list of all reportable securities holdings for Roanoke and anyone associated with it that has
access to advisory recommendations ("access person"). These holdings are reviewed on a regular basis by
our firm's Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee.
6. We have established procedures for the maintenance of all required books and records.
7. All of our principals and employees must act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State regulations
governing registered investment advisory practices.
8. We require delivery and acknowledgement of the Code of Ethics by each supervised person of our firm.
9. We have established policies requiring the reporting of Code of Ethics violations to our senior management.
10. Any individual who violates any of the above restrictions may be subject to termination.
Item 12 Brokerage Practices
For most discretionary clients, Roanoke has the authority to determine the broker dealer to use and the
commission costs that will be charged to these clients for these transactions. Roanoke may permit clients to
direct brokerage to a specific broker- dealer.
Where Roanoke has the authority to determine broker- dealers, Roanoke will endeavor to select those brokers or
dealers which will provide the best services at the lowest commission rates possible. The reasonableness of
commissions is based on the broker's stability, reputation, ability to provide professional services, competitive
commission rates and prices, research, trading platform, and other services which will help Roanoke in providing
investment management services to clients. Roanoke may therefore recommend (or use) the use of a broker who
provides useful research and securities transaction services even though a lower commission may be charged by
a broker who offers no research services and minimal securities transaction assistance. Research services may
be useful in servicing all our clients, and not all of such research may be useful for the account for which the
particular transaction is affected.
‐ 9 ‐
Consistent with obtaining best execution for clients, Roanoke may direct brokerage transactions for clients'
portfolios to brokers who provide research and execution services to Roanoke and, indirectly, to Roanoke's
clients. These services are of the type described in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are
designed to augment our own internal research and investment strategy capabilities. This may be done without
prior agreement or understanding by the client (and done at our discretion). Research services obtained through
the use of soft dollars (client brokerage commissions) may be developed by brokers to whom brokerage is
directed or by third-parties which are compensated by the broker. Roanoke does not attempt to put a specific
dollar value on the services rendered or to allocate the relative costs or benefits of those services among clients,
believing that the research we receive will help us to fulfill our overall duty to our clients. Roanoke may not use
each particular research service, however, to service each client. As a result, a client may pay brokerage
commissions that are used, in part, to purchase research services that are not used to benefit that specific client.
Broker-dealers we select may be paid commissions for effecting transactions for our clients that exceed the
amounts other broker-dealers would have charged for effecting these transactions if Roanoke determines in good
faith that such amounts are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided
by those broker-dealers, viewed either in terms of a particular transaction or our overall duty to our discretionary
client accounts.
Certain items obtainable with soft dollars may not be used exclusively for either execution or research services.
The cost of such "mixed-use" products or services will be fairly allocated and Roanoke makes a good faith effort
to determine the percentage of such products or services which may be considered as investment research. The
portions of the costs attributable to non-research usage of such products or services are paid by Roanoke to the
broker-dealer in accordance with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
When Roanoke uses client brokerage commissions to obtain research or brokerage services, we receive a benefit
to the extent that Roanoke does not have to produce such products internally or compensate third-parties with
our own money for the delivery of such services. Therefore, such use of client brokerage commissions results in
a conflict of interest, because we have an incentive to direct client brokerage to those brokers who provide
research and services we utilize, even if these brokers do not offer the best price or commission rates for our
clients.
Within our last fiscal year, we have purchased no services with soft dollars.
Roanoke will use block trades where possible and when advantageous to clients. This blocking of trades permits
the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple client accounts, so long as
transaction costs are shared equally and on a pro-rated basis between all accounts included in any such block.
Block trading may allow us to execute equity trades in a timelier, more equitable manner, at an average share
price. Roanoke will typically aggregate trades among clients whose accounts can be traded at a given broker, and
generally will rotate or vary the order of brokers through which it places trades for clients on any particular day.
Roanoke's block trading policy and procedures are as follows:
1) Transactions for any client account may not be aggregated for execution if the practice is prohibited by or
inconsistent with the client's advisory agreement with Roanoke, or our firm's order allocation policy.
2) The portfolio manager must determine that the purchase or sale of the particular security involved is
appropriate for the client and consistent with the client's investment objectives and with any investment
guidelines or restrictions applicable to the client's account.
3) The portfolio manager must reasonably believe that the order aggregation will benefit, and will enable
Roanoke to seek best execution for, each client participating in the aggregated order. This requires a good faith
judgment at the time the order is placed for the execution. It does not mean that the determination made in
advance of the transaction must always prove to have been correct in the light of a "20-20 hindsight"
perspective. Best execution includes the duty to seek the best quality of execution, as well as the best net price.
4) Prior to entry of an aggregated order, a written order ticket must be completed which identifies each client
account participating in the order and the proposed allocation of the order, upon completion, to those clients.
‐ 10 ‐
5) If the order 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 pro rata among the participating client accounts in accordance
with the initial order ticket or other written statement of allocation. Furthermore, adjustments to this pro rata
allocation may be made to avoid having odd amounts of shares held in any client account, or to avoid excessive
ticket charges in smaller accounts.
6) Generally, each client that participates in the aggregated order must do so at the average price for all separate
transactions made to fill the orders and must share in the commissions on a pro rata basis in proportion to the
client's participation. Under the client’s agreement with the custodian/broker, transaction costs may be based on
the number of shares traded for each client.
7) Roanoke's client account records separately reflect, for each account in which the aggregated transaction
occurred, the securities which are held by, and bought and sold for, that account.
8) Funds and securities for aggregated orders are clearly identified on Roanoke's records and to the broker-
dealers or other intermediaries handling the transactions, by the appropriate account numbers for each
participating client.
9) No client or account will be favored over another. See Item 11 of this Brochure for a description of how we
may aggregate employee trades with clients’ transactions.
In the event that a client directs our firm to use a particular broker or dealer, we may not be authorized to
negotiate commissions and may be unable to obtain volume discounts or best execution. In addition, under these
circumstances, a disparity in commission charges may exist between the commissions charged to clients who
direct our firm to use a particular broker or dealer.
Item 13 Review of Accounts
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES
REVIEWS: While the underlying securities within Individual Portfolio Management Services accounts are
continually monitored, these accounts are reviewed quarterly. Accounts are reviewed in the context of each
client's stated investment objectives and guidelines. More frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes
in variables such as the client's individual circumstances, or the market, political or economic environment.
These accounts are reviewed by:
Edwin G. Vroom, President
Adele S. Weisman, Senior Vice President
REPORTS: In addition to the monthly statements and confirmations of transactions that Portfolio Management
Services clients receive from their custodian, Roanoke will provide quarterly reports summarizing account
performance, unless requested otherwise, balances and holdings.
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
It is Roanoke's policy not to engage solicitors or to pay related or non-related persons for referring potential
clients to our firm except in compliance with Rule 206(4)-3 under the Investment Advisers Act. Roanoke
currently has no such relationships.
It is Roanoke's policy, included in its Code of Ethics, not to accept or allow our related persons to accept any
form of compensation, including cash, sales awards or other prizes, from a non-client in conjunction with the
advisory services we provide to our clients.
‐ 11 ‐
Item 15 Custody
We previously disclosed in Item 5, the "Fees and Compensation" section of this Brochure, that Roanoke directly
debits advisory fees from client accounts.
As part of this billing process, the client's custodian is advised of the amount of the fee to be deducted from that
client's account. On at least a quarterly basis, the custodian is required to send to the client a statement showing
all transactions within the account during the reporting period.
Because the custodian does not calculate the amount of the fee to be deducted, it is important for clients to
carefully review their custodial statements to verify the accuracy of the calculation, among other things. Clients
should contact us directly if they believe that there may be an error in their statement.
In addition to the periodic statements that clients receive directly from their custodians, we also send account
statements directly to our clients on a quarterly basis. We urge our clients to carefully compare the information
provided on these statements to ensure that all account transactions, holdings and values are correct and current.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
Clients may hire us to provide discretionary asset management services, in which case we place trades in a
client's account without contacting the client prior to each trade to obtain the client's permission.
Our discretionary authority includes the ability to do the following without contacting the client:
determine the security to buy or sell; and/or
determine the amount of the security to buy or sell
Clients give us discretionary authority when they sign an Investment Management Agreement with our firm, and
may limit this authority by giving us written instructions. Clients may also change/amend such limitations by
once again providing us with written instructions.
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
We vote proxies for all client accounts; however, clients always have the right to vote proxies themselves.
Clients can exercise this right by instructing us in writing to not vote proxies in their accounts.
We will vote proxies in the best interests of our clients and in accordance with our established policies and
procedures. Our firm will retain all proxy voting books and records for the requisite period of time, including a
copy of each proxy statement received, a record of each vote cast, a copy of any document created by us that was
material to making a decision how to vote proxies, and a copy of each written client request for information on
how the adviser voted proxies. If our firm has a conflict of interest in voting a particular action, we will notify
the client of the conflict and retain an independent third-party to cast a vote.
Clients may obtain a copy of our complete proxy voting policies and procedures by contacting Sofia Bianculli by
telephone, email, or in writing as indicated on the Cover Page of this Brochure. Clients may request, in writing,
information on how proxies for their shares were voted. If any client requests a copy of our complete proxy
policies and procedures or how we voted proxies for his/her account(s), we will promptly provide such
information to the client.
We will neither advise nor act on behalf of the client in legal proceedings involving companies whose securities
are held in the client’s account(s), including, but not limited to, the filing of "Proofs of Claim" in class action
settlements. If desired, clients may direct us to transmit copies of class action notices to the client or a third
party. Upon such direction, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to forward such notices in a timely
manner.
‐ 12 ‐
With respect to ERISA accounts, we will vote proxies unless the plan documents specifically reserve the plan
sponsor's right to vote proxies. To direct us to vote a proxy in a particular manner, clients should contact Sofia
Bianculli by telephone, email, or in writing.
Clients can instruct us to vote proxies according to particular criteria (for example, to always vote with
management, or to vote for or against a proposal to allow a so-called "poison pill" defense against a possible
takeover). These requests must be made in writing. Clients can also instruct us on how to cast their vote in a
particular proxy contest by contacting us.
Item 18 Financial Information
Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1200 per client more than six
months in advance of services rendered. Therefore, we are not required to provide a financial statement..
As an advisory firm that maintains discretionary authority for client accounts or that may be deemed to have
custody, we are also required to disclose any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to
meet our contractual obligations. Roanoke has no such additional financial circumstances to report.
Roanoke has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.
