Firm Information Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies (“Bamboo Wealth” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Bamboo Wealth is organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of California. Bamboo Wealth was founded in December 2013 and is owned and operated by Danielle L. Luster (President), Brentt A. Hoover (Chief Executive Officer & Chief Compliance Officer) and Jeremy S. Martinson (Chief Financial Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Bamboo Wealth. B. Advisory Services Offered Bamboo Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, businesses, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”). The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. Bamboo Wealth’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 Bamboo Wealth provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through frequent personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related advisory services. Bamboo Wealth works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create an allocation. Bamboo Wealth will then construct a portfolio, consisting primarily of low-cost diversified exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and individual bonds, including ETFs in the gold precious metals and commodity sectors, foreign and domestic equities, and mutual funds to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client. Bamboo Wealth’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. Bamboo Wealth will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor. Bamboo Wealth evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. Bamboo Wealth may, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Bamboo Wealth may buy specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may employ cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Bamboo Wealth may sell positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. At no time will Bamboo Wealth accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. 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 sponsored plan or to roll over the assets to an Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”), 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. Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 4 commission-based account to fee-based account). In such instances, the Advisor will serve as an investment fiduciary as that term is defined under The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. 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. Financial Planning Services Financial planning services are designed to provide highly customized financial planning advice for the Client that will address the Client’s stated financial objectives and/or concerns. Bamboo Wealth Strategies will provide financial planning services to the Client, pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. The content and scope of the financial planning recommendations may include but will not be limited to: a net worth statement, a cash flow statement, analysis of the aforementioned, and a recommended course of action detailing the specific financial recommendations being made to help the Client achieve their stated financial goals and objectives. In addition, and/or in conjunction with the Client’s stated financial goals and objectives, on an ongoing or fixed engagement basis, the following areas shall be addressed in the financial analysis and subsequent recommendations as applicable: Income Tax Planning Investment Planning Insurance Planning & Risk Management 1. Financial Position (cash flow & debt structure management) 2. 3. 4. Employee Benefits Planning 5. Retirement Planning 6. Business Planning 7. 8. Estate Planning Bamboo Wealth is configured to provide for financial planning advice in two distinct methods as follows: One Time Fixed Engagement – Development and delivery of customized financial advice tailored to the Client’s unique financial objectives and circumstance. The financial advice will address the Client’s specific and current financial objectives and/or concerns (not ongoing financial advice). Based on the need of the Client, a fixed engagement may also be narrow in scope (such as an engagement specifically focused on estate planning, business planning, or major purchase planning). In most circumstances, a personalized interactive financial planning website will be created and shared with the Client. This provides the Client with secure access to on demand financial reports that may include but are not limited to; cash flow, balance sheet, income statement, and retirement projections. The Client relationship in the fixed engagement financial planning capacity terminates once the recommendations addressing all the Clients specific financial objectives have been delivered to the Client and all questions and concerns regarding the recommendations have been addressed. Unless otherwise stated, the total timeframe for a fixed engagement shall not exceed 12 months. Ongoing Financial Advice – This includes the development and delivery of customized financial advice as illustrated above in the One Time Fixed Engagement model, plus ongoing advice. Ongoing financial advice includes unlimited telephone and in person meetings to address any and all financial concerns of the Client. Also included are periodic meetings initiated by the Advisor to proactively address financial considerations and opportunities that may arise due to macroeconomic factors or potential changes in the Client’s financial circumstance. Bamboo Wealth may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or another specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. Financial planning recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor.

The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include: Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21)) • Vendor Analysis • • Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance These services are provided by Bamboo Wealth serving in the capacity of a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Bamboo Wealth’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging Bamboo Wealth to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include: ● Establishing an Investment Strategy – Bamboo Wealth, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives. ● Asset Allocation – Bamboo Wealth will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client. ● Portfolio Construction – Bamboo Wealth will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. ● Investment Management and Supervision – Bamboo Wealth will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. D. Wrap Fee Programs Bamboo Wealth does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided directly by Bamboo Wealth. E. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2024, the Advisor manages $181,244,140 in Client assets, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more written agreements with the Advisor. A. Fees for Advisory Services Investment Management Services Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement. Bamboo Wealth uses the average daily balance (“ADB”) in the Client’s account from the previous billing quarter to determine the value of assets under management for billing purposes. For account[s] where ADB (i.e., 529 plan) is not readily available, the value for billing purposes shall be the average of the beginning and ending account balances (“ABE”) from the previous quarter ((beginning balance + ending balance)/2). Investment advisory fees are typically deducted from accounts during the first fourteen days of each quarter. Either ADB or ABE may be referred to as the billable account balance. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.

Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Fees may vary from the above fee schedule depending on the nature and complexity of each Client’s circumstances, or with the inclusion of financial planning services. The Client’s fees will generally take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Bamboo Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing. Fees for certain fee-based annuities are billed quarterly, at the end of the quarter. Fees are calculated based on quarter-end valuations of the annuity as provided by the Custodian. Fees will be deducted from the Client accounts[s] by the Custodian. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by the Custodian directly from their account[s] and paid out to the Advisor as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. The Custodian shall send a quarterly statement indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client Account(s). The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other related costs and expenses as described in Item 5.C. below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Financial Planning Services The cost for financial planning services and/or providing ongoing financial planning advice for one year’s time is between $1,500 and $20,000. Fees may also be charged on an hourly basis at a rate ranging from $250 to $500 per hour. Fees are negotiable and are based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Bamboo Wealth is configured to charge a fee for financial planning advice in the following distinct methods: One Time Fixed Engagement – Clients may be charged on a fixed fee or hourly basis depending on the needs of the Client. An estimate for total hours and total costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services. Unless otherwise stated, the total timeframe for services delivered on an hourly basis or fixed engagement fee shall not exceed 12 months. Ongoing Financial Advice – Clients may be charged a one-time plan setup fee with a monthly or annual fee for ongoing advice depending on the needs of the Client. Retirement Plan Advisory Services Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged a fixed engagement fee billed quarterly either in advance or arrears, depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Fixed engagement fees range from $1,500 to $20,000. Fees may be negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan. B. Fee Billing Investment Management Services Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. Bamboo Wealth also offers Clients the ability to pay by credit card, debit card, check, or alternate advisory account. 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 Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 7 by applying the billable account balance multiplied by the annual rate divided by 4. 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 Bamboo Wealth to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. Bamboo Wealth also offers Clients the ability to pay investment advisory fees via credit card, debit card or check. In such instances, the Advisor will invoice the Client directly. Financial Planning Services Bamboo Wealth collects its fixed and hourly financial planning fees, either 50% in advance or 100% in advance. The monthly fee for ongoing financial advice is charged in advance on or around the 1st of each month. Monthly fees in the first month of service are prorated from the inception date to the end of the first month. Annual fees will be charged on or around the anniversary of the initiation of financial planning services. Typically, Bamboo Wealth will send all the client’s invoices to AdvicePay (a secure payment processing application) and AdvicePay will provide client with invoices from Bamboo Wealth. Clients agree to make all payments through AdvicePay under the terms of client’s separate AdvicePay Account. Payments may be automatically processed through AdvicePay via debit card, ACH, or credit card. Client acknowledges that Bamboo Wealth will not maintain control, copies, or custody of client’s credit card or payment information at any point. Clients typically agree to set up and register an account with AdvicePay (“AdvicePay Account”) so that clients can timely pay Bamboo Wealth invoices through AdvicePay’s portal. The failure to create the AdvicePay Account, or client’s termination of the AdvicePay account, shall constitute grounds for termination. At times, in its sole discretion, Bamboo Wealth will allow clients the ability to pay for ongoing financial planning services via check, or an alternate advisory account. If paying by check for ongoing services, Bamboo Wealth will issue an invoice directly to the client, and invoices are due and payable upon receipt. If an advisory account is utilized for financial planning fees, Bamboo Wealth may 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 period. Clients will be provided with periodic statements from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the 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 ongoing financial planning fees to be deducted by Bamboo Wealth to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the financial planning agreement and any applicable separate account forms provided by the Custodian. Invoicing client advisory accounts for financial planning fees creates a risk to the client in that such deductions will result in lesser returns on their advisory accounts. Retirement Plan Advisory Services Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan, depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. C. Other Fees and Expenses Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Bamboo Wealth, in connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities execution fees charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor’s recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in Client accounts, but may charge for mutual funds and other types of investments. The investment advisory fee charged by Bamboo Wealth is separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees. In addition, all fees paid to Bamboo Wealth for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the 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. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Bamboo Wealth, but would not receive the services provided by Bamboo Wealth which are designed, among Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 8 other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for the Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Bamboo Wealth to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information. D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination Investment Management Services Bamboo Wealth is compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which investment management services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. In the event that a Client’s account has a change in the title only, the Advisor will not refund the billing for that quarter. However, the Advisor will not charge the new account for the remainder of the quarter. Financial Planning Services Bamboo Wealth is compensated for its services in advance either in whole or in part. For ongoing financial planning services, Bamboo Wealth requires an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to 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 billed for actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate or in the case of a fixed fee engagement, the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid planning fees from the effective date of termination. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. Retirement Plan Advisory Services Bamboo Wealth is compensated for its services either at the beginning or at the end of the quarter in which retirement plan advisory services are rendered. Either party may request to terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client shall be responsible for retirement plan advisory fees up to and including the effective date of termination. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid retirement plan advisory fees from the effective date of the termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. E. Compensation for Sales of Securities Bamboo Wealth does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management Bamboo Wealth does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by Bamboo Wealth are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. Bamboo Wealth does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients. Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 9 Item 7 – Types of Clients Bamboo Wealth offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, businesses, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and retirement plans. The amount of each type of Client is available on the Advisor's Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor. Bamboo Wealth generally does not impose a minimum size for establishing a relationship. Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis Bamboo Wealth employs fundamental analysis and modern portfolio theory methods in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from Bamboo Wealth is 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 Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria are generally 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. Modern Portfolio Theory Modern portfolio theory is a theory of investment which attempts to maximize portfolio expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, by carefully choosing the proportions of various assets. As noted above, Bamboo Wealth generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial goals. Bamboo Wealth will often 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, Bamboo Wealth may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector, asset class, or the economy. B. Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Bamboo Wealth will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts. Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 10 information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis. The risks associated with a particular strategy are generally provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment 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 has a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later. Bond Risks Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond. Mutual Fund Risks The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day. 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 Bamboo Wealth or its management persons. Bamboo Wealth values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor 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 #170093. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Spectrum Consulting Group (SCG) Jeremy S. Martinson also owns and operates a separate business, Spectrum Consulting Group, which offers services to largely the same client base as Bamboo Wealth. This business provides bookkeeping, payroll Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 11 processing, and other business-related services. Neither Mr. Martinson nor Spectrum Consulting Group have signatory authority for Client accounts. At times, representatives of Bamboo Wealth will recommend clients utilize the services of SCG for their business-related needs. Should clients of Bamboo Wealth choose to engage SCG, Bamboo Wealth representatives who are also employed by SCG will receive normal compensation for their respective role with SCG. Additionally, as Bamboo Wealth and SCG have common ownership, profits received by SCG will be shared by owners of Bamboo Wealth. In order to mitigate these conflicts, they are disclosed to clients through this Brochure and relevant Brochure Supplements. Further, clients are made aware – typically through the delivery of this Brochure, that they always have the right to decide whether or not to implement any recommended transactions by the Firm are under no obligation to utilize SCG for their accounting or other business-related needs and are free to select any firm of their choosing. Real Estate Broker Brentt Hoover is also a California real estate broker. From time-to-time, he will offer Clients advice, transact real property, or receive a referral fee from this activity. Clients should be aware that these services pay a commission and involve a conflict of interest, as commissionable transactions can conflict with the fiduciary duties of a registered investment adviser. Bamboo Wealth always acts in the best interest of the Client; including in the sale of commissionable products to Clients. Clients of Bamboo Wealth are in no way required to implement any recommendation through Mr. Hoover in his capacity as a real estate broker. Sovran Advisors, LLC Jeremy Martinson also is an owner, control person, and President of Sovran Advisors, LLC (“Sovran”), a registered investment advisor. Sovran offers substantially similar advisory services to those offered by Bamboo Wealth. No client of Bamboo Wealth will be solicited by Mr. Martinson, to place assets with, or to be managed by, Sovran. In his separate capacity as Owner and President of Sovran, Mr. Martinson does not manage any of his own client accounts or relationships, with Mr. Martinson’s responsibilities with Sovran being largely managerial. At no time will Mr. Martinson or the Advisor earn both ongoing investment advisory fees under the Advisor and ongoing investment advisory fees through Sovran on the same investment assets. Should clients of Bamboo Wealth choose to engage Sovran for advisory services, Mr. Martinson will share in profits received by Sovran due to his having an ownership interest in that company. In order to mitigate this conflict, it is disclosed to clients through Bamboo Wealth’s Disclosure Brochure and this Brochure Supplement. Further, neither Bamboo Wealth nor Sovran pay any referral fees or other direct compensation for the referral or receipt of clients between firms. Insurance Agency Affiliations Danielle L. Luster, Chelsea B. Mieczkowski and Brentt A. Hoover are also licensed insurance professionals, conducting the majority of their fixed insurance business through Bamboo Insurance Services Inc. (“Bamboo Insurance”). In their individual capacity as insurance agents of Bamboo Insurance, these persons have the ability to receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products are sold. They also receive revenue directly from Bamboo Insurance. Commissions and revenue generated by insurance sales do not offset the Advisor’s investment advisory fees. Implementations of insurance recommendations are separate and apart from their role with Bamboo Wealth. This practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to purchase insurance products through Danielle L. Luster, Chelsea B. Mieczkowski, or Brentt A. Hoover of Bamboo Wealth in their separate capacity as insurance agents through Bamboo Insurance. When insurance products are purchased through Bamboo Insurance, Mr. Martinson, Ms. Luster, and Mr. Hoover will receive profits and other related compensation in their role as owners. A conflict of interest exists because Mr. Martinson, Ms. Luster, and Mr. Hoover have an incentive to make recommendations based on the compensation. To mitigate this conflict, it is disclosed to clients through this Brochure and relevant Brochure Supplements. Clients always have the right to decide whether to implement any recommended transactions by the Firm. Should the client choose to do so, the client always has the right to choose the professional in which to do so. Bamboo Wealth clients should understand that lower fees and/or commissions for comparable services may be available from other sources. Mr. Martinson is an owner of Sovran Insurance Services, Inc., d/b/a Sovran Financial and Insurance Services (“Sovran Insurance”), a Sovran Advisors LLC affiliated life, health, disability, and other fixed insurance company. When insurance products are purchased through Sovran Insurance, Mr. Martinson will receive profits and other Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 12 related compensation in his role as an owner. A conflict of interest exists because Mr. Martinson has an incentive to make recommendations based on the compensation received rather than on the Client’s needs. To mitigate this conflict, it is disclosed to clients through this Brochure and relevant Brochure Supplements. Clients always have the right to decide whether to implement any recommended transactions by the Firm. Should the client choose to do so, the client always has the right to choose the professional in which to do so. Bamboo Wealth clients should understand that lower fees and/or commissions for comparable services may be available from other sources. Rollovers When leaving an employer, Clients typically have four options regarding their existing retirement plan: (1) leave the assets in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (2) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (3) roll over the assets to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (4) take a full withdrawal in cash, which would result in ordinary income tax and a penalty tax if the person is under age 59 1/2. At times, as part of its services, the Firm recommends that Clients roll over their 401(k) or other qualified plan assets to an IRA. This rollover recommendation presents a conflict of interest in that the Firm would receive compensation (or may increase current compensation) when investment advice is provided following the Client’s decision to roll over plan assets. Clients who have assets in retirement accounts elsewhere would potentially pay a larger fee if rolled into an IRA or Roth IRA with Bamboo Wealth as the adviser. Bamboo Wealth will only recommend rollovers if it’s in the best interest of the Client. Instances, where it may be in the best interest of the Client, are to simplify their account management (reduce the number of retirement accounts), have professional management of their account, gain access to additional investment options as compared to the current retirement plan, and/or pay lower administrative fees. Prior to making a decision, each Client should carefully review the information regarding rollover options and are under no obligation to rollover retirement plan assets to an account managed by Bamboo wealth. Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics Bamboo Wealth has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Bamboo Wealth (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our duties to the Clients. Bamboo Wealth and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Bamboo Wealth’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (619) 289- 9670 or via email at info@bamboowealth.com. B. Personal Trading with Material Interest Bamboo Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Bamboo Wealth 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. Bamboo Wealth does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts. C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients Bamboo Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by Bamboo Wealth requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 13 Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information. D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client While Bamboo Wealth 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 Bamboo Wealth, or any Supervised Person of Bamboo Wealth, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Custodian[s] Bamboo Wealth 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 Bamboo Wealth to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, Bamboo Wealth does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate transaction costs on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Where Bamboo Wealth does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian recommended by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fees by the Advisor for using a custodian not recommended by Bamboo Wealth. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. Bamboo Wealth 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. Bamboo Wealth will generally recommend that Clients establish accounts with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”). Schwab (“the “Custodians”) serve as a “qualified custodian” for Client accounts. Please see Item 14 below. Factors which the Advisor considers in recommending Schwab to Clients include their respective financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, and research service. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Schwab may be higher or lower than those charged by other financial institutions. The Advisor maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives certain Benefits. Please see Item 14 below. Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor: 1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with the broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services. Bamboo Wealth does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below. 2. Brokerage Referrals - Bamboo Wealth does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing an account. 3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Bamboo Wealth will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Bamboo Wealth 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. B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 14 execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Bamboo Wealth will execute its transactions through the Custodian as directed by the Client. Bamboo Wealth may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts. Item 13 – Review of Accounts A. Frequency of Reviews Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Danielle L. Luster, Brentt A. Hoover and Jeremy S. Martinson, the Principal Officers of Bamboo Wealth. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client. All financial planning engagements are reviewed and approved by Brentt A. Hoover, Chief Compliance Officer. Financial Planning advice provided to Clients is also reviewed by at least one Principal Officer prior to delivery. B. Causes for Reviews In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Bamboo Wealth if changes occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events. C. Review Reports The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Compensation Received by Bamboo Wealth Bamboo Wealth is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment product. Bamboo Wealth does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any un-related third party. Bamboo Wealth 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, Bamboo Wealth may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties. Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform (Schwab) Bamboo Wealth has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Bamboo Wealth. As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Bamboo Wealth 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 potential 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. Spectrum Planning & Advisory Services Inc. d/b/a Bamboo Wealth Strategies 3131 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 1000, San Diego, CA 92108 Phone: (619) 289-9670 http://www.bamboowealthstrategies.com Page 15 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 to Bamboo Wealth that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, 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 potential conflict of interest. Bamboo Wealth believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients. B. Client Referrals from Promoters Bamboo Wealth does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any affiliated or unaffiliated parties (“Promoters”) for Client referrals. Item 15 – Custody Bamboo Wealth does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined below: Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Bamboo Wealth 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 Bamboo Wealth 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 Bamboo Wealth to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Bamboo Wealth to move funds between their accounts, Bamboo Wealth 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 Bamboo Wealth typically 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 Bamboo Wealth. 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 Bamboo Wealth will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities Bamboo Wealth does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.

Neither Bamboo Wealth, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Bamboo Wealth may collect fees for financial planning up to a year in advance. However, 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.

Should clients of Bamboo Wealth choose to engage Sovran for advisory services, Mr. Martinson will share in profits received by Sovran due to his having an ownership interest in that company. In order to mitigate this conflict, it is disclosed to clients through Bamboo Wealth’s Disclosure Brochure and this Brochure Supplements. Further, neither Sovran nor Bamboo wealth pay any referral fees or other direct compensation for the referral or receipt of clients between firms. Additionally, Mr. Martinson owns and operates Spectrum Consulting Group (“SCG”), a bookkeeping, payroll processing, and other business-related services affiliated with Bamboo Wealth due to common ownership. Spectrum Consulting Group offers services to largely the same client base as Bamboo Wealth, and neither Mr. Martinson nor Spectrum Consulting Group have signatory authority for client accounts. At times, representatives of Bamboo Wealth will recommend clients utilize the services of SCG for their business-related needs. Should clients of Bamboo Wealth choose to engage SCG, Bamboo representatives who are also employed by SCG will receive normal compensation for their respective role with SCG. Additionally, as is an owner of SCG, he receives profits from SCG. In order to mitigate these conflicts, they are disclosed to clients through this Brochure and relevant Brochure Supplements.

While Mr. Martinson doesn’t include direct commission for the sale of insurance products, he is enriched by way of owner of these agencies, which therefore creates a conflict of interest. Bamboo Wealth has adopted certain procedures designed to mitigate the effects of these conflicts. Additionally, the conflicts presented by these practices are disclosed to clients through the Firm's Brochure, Brochure Supplements, the Client Agreement and/or verbally prior to or at the time of entering into an agreement with Bamboo Wealth.
