Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Sutton Place Investors LLC dba Settanni Financial (“Settanni Financial” or the “Advisor”) is a registered
investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a
Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of New York. Settanni Financial was founded in
September 2018, and is owned and operated by Donato Settanni, CPA (Chief Executive Officer) and David V.
Settanni (Chief Financial Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications,
business practices, and the advisory services provided by Settanni Financial.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Settanni Financial offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
charitable organizations, businesses, institutions 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. Settanni Financials’ 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
The Advisor’s investment process starts with our first Client meeting. Advisory Persons of Settanni Financial will
work closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and
financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. The Advisor will evaluate the Client’s ability and
willingness to assume risk based on their current assets, family structure, future needs, and current and future
income streams. Clients that engage the Advisor for investment management services will go through the
Advisor’s risk tolerance questionnaire and review process to develop an asset allocation and investment portfolio
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives. Settanni Financial will typically construct a Client’s
investment portfolio utilizing diversified mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and individual equity and
fixed income securities. The Advisor may also utilize options contracts, private equity and other types of
investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of particular Clients. 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.
Once the portfolio is established, Settanni Financial will provide continuous personal Client contact and
interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related advisory services. Clients may also
engage the Advisor for its wealth management services (investment management, financial planning, taxes and
estate planning).
Settanni Financial’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-
allocate positions that have been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market
conditions. Settanni Financial 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.
Settanni Financial evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its
internal due diligence process. Settanni Financial may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment
allocations to diversify the portfolio. Settanni Financial may recommend specific positions to increase sector or
asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against
market movement. Settanni Financial may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not
limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of
securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client,
generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

Page 4
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.
Use of Independent Managers - Settanni Financial will recommend that Clients utilize one or more unaffiliated
investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a
Client’s investment portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. In certain instances, the Client may be
required to authorize and enter into an investment management agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that
defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will provide its services. The Advisor will perform initial
and ongoing oversight and due diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned
with Clients investment objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the Client in the
development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Client,
prior to entering into an agreement with an Independent Manager, will be provided with the Independent
Manager's Form ADV Part 2A - Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over
the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based
account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a
new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll
over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Settanni Financial provides advisory services on behalf of retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the company (the
“Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in
meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized to the needs
of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include:
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
● Vendor Analysis
● Plan Participant and Education Tracking
●
● Performance Reporting
● Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
● ERISA 404(c) Assistance
● Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Settanni Financial serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Advisor may serve as either a 3(21)
Fiduciary (non-discretionary) or a 3(38) Fiduciary, assuming investment discretion over Plan assets. In
accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of Settanni
Financial’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the
Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement.
Financial Planning Services
Settanni Financial will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, pursuant
to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation,
depending on their goals, and objectives.
Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific
financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may

Page 5
encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning,
estate planning, tax management, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs and other areas of a
Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
Settanni Financial may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their
unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the
Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the
Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months
of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations may pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and
the interests of the Client. For example, a recommendation to engage the Advisor for investment management
services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor would pose a conflict, as it would increase
the 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.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Settanni Financial 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 – Settanni Financial, in connection with the Client, will develop a
strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
● Asset Allocation – Settanni Financial 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 – Settanni Financial will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet
the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
●
Investment Management and Supervision – Settanni Financial will provide investment management and
ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
Settanni Financial does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management
services are provided directly by Settanni Financial.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Settanni Financial manages $336,786,863 in Client assets, $297,202,594 of which are
managed on a discretionary basis and $39,584,269 on a non-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 a written
agreement with the Advisor.

The Client will pay the Advisor a quarterly investment advisory fee, billed at the end of each quarter, based on
the average daily balance of portfolio assets under management in the Account[s] during the quarter. However,
investment advisory fees in the first month of service are billed in arrears based on the average daily balance of
the assets under management for the prorated period from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the
first quarter. Investment advisory fees are based on the following schedule:

take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts
managed by Settanni Financial will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic
reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing. If the Client engages the Advisor for its wealth
management services, the Client will pay a single fee for investment management, financial planning, taxes and
estate planning.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and
other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However,
the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or
more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation
from an Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described above. The
Advisor will allocate a portion of the advisory fee collected to the Independent Manager pursuant to the terms of
the executed agreement between the Advisor and the Independent Manager.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 2.00%, billed either
monthly in arrears using average daily balance or quarterly in arrears using the quarter end account value
pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Retirement plan fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the calendar quarter or month as determined by the agreement. Fees charged on
retirement plan advisory accounts may be billed in advance or arrears based on the agreement.
Financial Planning Services
Settanni Financial offers financial planning services either on an hourly basis or a fixed annual consulting
engagement fee. Hourly engagements range up to $500 per hour. Fixed annual consulting fee engagements
range up to $120,000 per year, billed at the end of each month, based on the scope and time involved for the
services to be provided. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be
provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or total costs will be
provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services. If the Client engages the Advisor for its wealth
management services, the Client will pay a single fee for investment management, financial planning, taxes and
estate planning.

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. 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 end of each quarter. Fees are calculated based on the average daily
balance of portfolio assets under management in the Account[s] during the quarter times the quarterly rate.
Clients engaged by the Advisor prior to March 1, 2019, may be billed in advance of each calendar quarter and
are calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 365) to the total assets under management
with Settanni Financial for the applicable quarter.
For Clients engaging for services prior to March 1, 2019, investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor

the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of
the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 365)
to the total assets under management with Settanni Financial for the applicable quarter. Clients will be provided
with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. It is
the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage
statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting
Settanni Financial 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.

and other types of investments. The fees charged by Settanni Financial are separate and distinct from these
custody and execution fees.

Page 8
In addition, all fees paid to Settanni Financial 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
Settanni Financial, but would not receive the services provided by Settanni Financial which are designed, among
other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s
financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and
the fees charged by Settanni Financial to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 –
Brokerage Practices for additional information. Additionally, as noted above, the Advisor will select share classes
which do not have trading costs, but do have higher internal expense ratios than institutional share classes.
Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
Clients are typically billed at the end of each calendar quarter. However, certain legacy Clients may be billed in
advance for its investment advisory services. 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. Upon termination, 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.
Use of Independent Managers

interest, the Advisor will have the discretion to terminate the relationship with the Independent Manager. The
terms for termination are set forth in the respective agreements between the Advisor and the Independent
Managers.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services

Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. Upon termination, the Client shall be responsible for retirement plan advisory fees up to
and including the effective date of termination. The Client’s retirement plan services agreement with the Advisor
is non-transferrable without the Client’s written consent.
Financial Planning Services
Settanni Financial may require an advance deposit as described in Item 5.A. 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

Phone: (914) 767-0974 * Fax: (914) 617-1517

Page 9
the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). In one’s separate capacity as a registered representative
of PKS, the Advisory Person will implement securities transactions under PKS and not through Settanni
Financial. In such instances, the Advisory Person will receive commission-based compensation in connection
with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products.
Compensation earned by the Advisory Person in one’s capacity as a registered representative is separate from
and in addition to Settanni Financial’s advisory fees. Please see Item 10.
Certain Advisory Persons are also be licensed as independent insurance professionals. As an independent
insurance professional, an Advisory Person may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance
products, including insurance products they sell to Client’s Insurance commissions earned by an Advisory
Person are separate and in addition to advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because a
person providing investment advice on behalf of the Advisor who is also an insurance agent has an incentive to
recommend insurance products to Clients for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on
Client needs. However, Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance
products through any person affiliated with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities
and Affiliations.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Settanni Financial does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees

of the funds or securities held by any Client.

mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to
its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Settanni Financial offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates,
charitable organizations, businesses, institutions, and retirement plans. Settanni Financial has a minimum
relationship size of $1,000,000. This minimum can be waived at the sole discretion of Settanni Financial.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Settanni Financial primarily employs fundamental and cyclical analysis methods in developing investment
strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from Settanni Financial are derived from numerous sources,
including financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company
activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria
consist generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity
being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong
investment with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a
potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the
investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment
performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations
are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of
Accounts.
Cyclical analysis is similar to technical analysis in that it involves the analysis of market conditions at a macro
(entire market/economy) or micro (company specific) level, rather than the overall fundamental analysis of the

health of the particular company that Settanni Financial is recommending. The risks with cyclical analysis are
similar to those of technical analysis.
As noted above, Settanni Financial generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as
consistent with their financial goals. Settanni Financial will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more
than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs
of Clients. At times, Settanni Financial may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature,
depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
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. Settanni Financial will assist Clients in determining an
appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no
guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that
the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis
may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic
indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s
review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals
or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will 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 have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a
short time later.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the
same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Margin Borrowings

Phone: (914) 767-0974 * Fax: (914) 617-1517
http://www.settannifinancial.com
Page 11
The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if
securities pledged to brokers to secure a Client's margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to
a "margin call", pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of
mandatory liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts
are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying
stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses.
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 Settanni Financial or any of its Supervised
Persons. Settanni Financial 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 Advisors firm name or CRD# 298989.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio with one or more
Independent Managers. The Advisor does not receive any compensation nor does this present a material conflict
of interest. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described in Item 5.A.
Broker-Dealer Affiliation
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of PKS. PKS is a registered
broker-dealer, member FINRA, SIPC. In one’s separate capacity as a registered representative, the Advisory
Person will receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for commissionable transactions.
Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation provided by the Advisory Person. Neither the
Advisor nor the Advisory Person will earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any services
implemented in the Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in Item 5. above, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals. Implementation of
insurance recommendations are separate and apart from an Advisory Person’s role with the Advisor. As an
insurance professional, an Advisory Person will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from
the various insurance companies whose products are sold. An Advisory Person is not required to offer the
products or any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular
advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance
companies. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by an Advisory Person or
the Advisor.
Tax and Accounting Services
Advisory Persons also provide tax and accounting services through Don Settanni, CPA, PLLC, a tax and
accounting firm under common control with the Advisor. The accounting firm will offer its services to Clients of
the Advisor and clients of the accounting firm will be offered the advisory services of the Advisor as appropriate.
Clients are not required to utilize the services provided by Don Settanni, CPA, PLLC.
DVS Capital Partners GP, LLC & DVS Capital Partners LP, LLC
Sutton Place Investors LLC
6 Sutton Place, Katonah, NY 10536
Phone: (914) 767-0974 * Fax: (914) 617-1517
http://www.settannifinancial.com
Page 12
The Advisor is affiliated and under common control and ownership with DVS Capital Partners GP, LLC (“DVS
Capital Partners GP”), due to David Settanni’s position as the Owner and Principal of DVS Capital Partners GP.
DVS Capital Partners, GP serves as the General Partner to DVS Capital Partners LP, LLC an exempt-from-
registration pooled investment vehicle created for the purpose of providing investors with returns that are not
correlated with broader equity markets (the “Fund”). The General Partner offers to third-party investors and
Clients of Settanni Financial (collectively “Investors”) direct access to the Fund.
Due to the affiliation between the General Partner and Settanni Financial, management persons have a financial
incentive to recommend that Clients invest in the Fund. To address this conflict, Settanni Financial will not
receive any investment advisory fees on assets invested by Clients into the fund. Prior to recommending an
investment into the Fund, Settanni Financial will conduct appropriate due diligence to ensure the
recommendation to a Client to invest aligns with the Client’s investment needs and objectives. In addition,
Settanni Financial will provide additional disclosure information to each Client, which will include relevant details
regarding material financial interests and compensation as it relates to the Fund. Finally, there is no requirement
for Settanni Financial to recommend the Fund to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest in the Fund.
DVS Capital Management, LLC
The Advisor is also under common control and ownership with DVS Capital Management, LLC (“DVSCM”)
through David Settanni, which serves as an exempt-from-registration investment manager to DVS Capital
Partners LP, LLC (the “Fund”) an exempt-from-registration pooled investment vehicle.
The service provided by DVSCM is detailed in the offering document of the Fund, which include as applicable,
operating agreements, private placement memorandum and/or term sheets, subscription agreements, separate
disclosure documents, and all amendments thereto (“Offering Document”). DVSCM manages the Fund based on
the investment objectives, policies and guidelines as set forth in the respective Offering Document and not in
accordance with the individual needs or objectives of any particular investor therein. Each prospective investor
interested in investing in a Fund is required to complete a subscription agreement in which the prospective
investor attests as to whether or not such prospective investor meets the qualifications to invest in the Fund and
further acknowledges and accepts the various risk factors associated with such an investment.
In general, investors in the Funds are not permitted to impose restrictions or limitations. The Advisor will
recommend that certain Clients invest in the Fund. The recommendation to invest in the Fund poses a conflict
between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client, as the Advisor is incentivized to increase the
amount of assets in the Fund, not already managed by DVSCM, in order to increase the revenue generated to
management persons of the Advisor. This conflict is mitigated as Clients will only pay the asset-based fee as
described in the Offering Document. Settanni Financial will not receive investment advisory fees on assets
invested in the Fund. Clients of the Advisor are under no obligation to invest in the Fund.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Settanni Financial has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisors’s fiduciary
commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Settanni Financial (“Supervised
Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the
Advisor’s duties to the Client. Settanni Financial and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and
good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Settanni Financial’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 (914) 767-0974.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Settanni Financial allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended
to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Settanni Financial does not act as principal in any transactions. In
Sutton Place Investors LLC
6 Sutton Place, Katonah, NY 10536
Phone: (914) 767-0974 * Fax: (914) 617-1517
http://www.settannifinancial.com
Page 13
addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Settanni
Financial does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Settanni Financial 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 recommend (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, we have 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 Settanni Financial requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons
for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies
and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Settanni Financial 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 Settanni Financial, or any Supervised Person of Settanni Financial,
transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Settanni Financial 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 Settanni Financial to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment
advisory agreement. Further, Settanni Financial does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate
commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where Settanni Financial does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian[s] to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended
Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not
recommended by Settanni Financial. As Advisory Person of Settanni Financial are also registered
representatives of PKS, the Advisor is limited in the Custodians it can utilize and must only use a Custodian
approved by PKS.
Settanni Financial will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified
custodian”. Settanni Financial maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives
economic benefits from Schwab (Please see Item 14 below.)
Settanni Financial may also recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Interactive Brokers LLC
(“Interactive Brokers”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Interactive Brokers will serve as the
Client’s “qualified custodian”. Settanni Financial maintains an institutional relationship with Interactive Brokers,
whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Interactive Brokers. Please see Item 14 below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:

Page 14
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 a broker/dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Settanni Financial 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 - Settanni Financial 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 Settanni Financial 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]). Settanni Financial 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 designated Custodian. The Advisor may
not be able to aggregate orders to reduce transaction costs in a Client directed brokerage account.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Settanni Financial will execute its transactions
through the Custodian as authorized by the Client.
Settanni Financial 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 Principals of Settanni Financial.
Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the
Client.
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 Settanni Financial 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.

A. Compensation Received by Settanni Financial
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Settanni Financial has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor
Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Settanni Financial. As a
registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Settanni Financial 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.
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 Settanni Financial that may
not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support, consulting
services and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for
the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. Settanni Financial believes,
however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
The Advisor’s receipt of Additional Services does not diminish the Advisor’s duty to act in the best interest of its
clients, including to seek best execution of trades for client accounts.
Settanni Financial has established an institutional relationship with Interactive Brokers to assist the Advisor in
managing Client account[s]. Access to the Interactive Brokers platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor.
The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders
investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at Interactive Brokers. The software and related
system support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor
endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of
economic benefits from a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor’s
recommendation of this Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Settanni Financial does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised
persons, for Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
All Clients must maintain their accounts with a “qualified custodian,” as described in Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices. Settanni Financial accepts custody of a Client’s funds or securities, through the deduction of
Sutton Place Investors LLC

Page 16
management fees from the Client’s account[s] at the, and in certain situations where Supervised Persons of
Settanni Financial serve as trustee for certain Client relationships. Clients should review statements provided by
the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by Settanni Financial to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian
does not perform this review.
Surprise Independent Examination
As Settanni Financial is deemed to have custody over certain Client accounts and/or securities as part of their
access to Client login credentials, pursuant to securities regulations the Advisor is required to engage an
independent accounting firm to perform an annual surprise examination of those assets and accounts over which
Settanni Financial maintains custody. Any related opinions issued by an independent accounting firm are filed
with the SEC and are publicly available on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website
(http://adviserinfo.sec.gov).
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may
have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian and the Advisor
have adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s
instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Settanni Financial generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in
Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales
may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and
agreed to by Settanni Financial. 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 Settanni Financial will be
in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Settanni Financial 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.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Settanni Financial, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably
impair the ability of Settanni Financial to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Settanni Financial, nor any of
its Advisory Persons, has been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Settanni Financial 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.

Certified Public Accountant (“CPA”)
CPAs are licensed and regulated by their state boards of accountancy. While state laws and regulations vary, the
education, experience and testing requirements for licensure as a CPA generally include minimum
college education (typically 150 credit hours with at least a baccalaureate degree and a concentration in
accounting), minimum experience levels (most states require at least one year of experience providing services
that involve the use of accounting, attest, compilation, management advisory, financial advisory, tax or consulting
skills, all of which must be achieved under the supervision of or verification by a CPA), and successful passage
of the Uniform CPA Examination. In order to maintain a CPA license, states generally require the completion of
40 hours of continuing professional education (CPE) each year (or 80 hours over a two-year period or 120 hours
over a three-year period). Additionally, all American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) members
are required to follow a rigorous Code of Professional Conduct which requires that they act with integrity,
objectivity, due care, competence, fully disclose any conflicts of interest (and obtain client consent if a conflict
exists), maintain client confidentiality, disclose to the client any commission or referral fees, and serve the public
interest when providing financial services. The vast majority of state boards of accountancy have adopted the
AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct within their state accountancy laws or have created their own.

counterfeiting, or extortion; and/or dishonest, unfair or unethical practices. As previously noted, there are no
legal, civil or disciplinary events to disclose regarding Mr. Settanni.

of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to
implement any recommendations made by Mr. Settanni or the Advisor.

Mr. Settanni is also an employee of Don Settanni, CPA, PLLC, a tax and accounting firm under common control

Mr. Settanni is also the Owner and Principal of DVS Capital Management, LLC, which serves as an exempt-
from-registration investment manager to DVS Capital Partners LP, LLC.

persons have a financial incentive to recommend that Clients invest in the Fund. To address this conflict,

to recommending an investment into the Fund, Settanni Financial will conduct appropriate due diligence to
ensure the recommendation to a Client to invest aligns with the Client’s investment needs and objectives. In
addition, Settanni Financial will provide additional disclosure information to each Client, which will include
relevant details regarding material financial interests and compensation as it relates to the Fund. Finally, there is
