Item 4: Advisory Business
Advisory Firm Description
Vincimus Capital, LLC ("Vincimus Capital", “Adviser” or the "Firm") was organized as a limited
liability company in the state of Delaware in 2022. The Firm is an investment adviser registered
with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Adviser is controlled, as a result of
his membership interest, by Lockwood Holmes, Jr.
The Firm provides financial planning, asset management, retirement plan consulting, and
investment advice to individuals, high net worth individuals, and business owners. Our services
include wealth management, business financial planning, and legacy planning. The Firm’s primary
investment focus is asset allocation, with the unique needs of each client being met through
custom-tailored investment advice and financial planning solutions.
Types of Advisory Services
FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
Vincimus Capital offers a variety of financial planning services to individuals, families, and
businesses, under the terms of the written agreement between Vincimus Capital and the client.
Vincimus Capital employs a comprehensive financial planning process designed to define each
client’s financial objectives, analyze the objectives and create a step-by-step plan to achieve the
objectives. Such financial planning services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a
financial consultation with clients. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas
of need, including, but not limited to:
Investment management
• Risk management
• Expense and income planning
• Tax planning
•
• Retirement planning
• Estate planning
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. Vincimus Capital may also refer clients to an accountant, attorney or another specialist,
as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, Vincimus
Capital may provide a written summary of client’s financial situation, observations, and
recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, Vincimus Capital may not provide a
written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract
date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES
Vincimus Capital provides investment advisory services to clients, which are designed to meet the
unique financial needs of each client. Vincimus Capital’s investment management services are
performed on both a discretionary basis, meaning you grant our financial professionals the
authority to employ strategies and place trades at their discretion, based on your goals and
circumstances, and on a non-discretionary basis, meaning the retail investor makes the ultimate
decision regarding the purchase or sale of investments. Progress toward the client's goals is
monitored periodically. Vincimus Capital strives to provide personal attention and professional
service to all clients, incorporating an honest, diligent, and ethical approach. Vincimus Capital
strives to maintain a level of service that puts its clients’ needs ahead of its own. Vincimus Capital
will provide investment advisory services to clients through individual accounts, joint accounts,
IRA's, trusts, employee benefit plans, and other types of legal entities.
Vincimus Capital deploys properly allocated, customized alternative investment solutions in
alignment with risk tolerance and liquidity needs. Vincimus Capital does this by allocating across
diversified asset classes with heavily vetted private market investment managers. Vincimus
Capital may also utilize a portfolio of index and/or actively managed instruments (funds and
exchange-traded funds) across a range of asset classes to create a low-cost, tax-efficient macro-
diversified portfolio managed in line with client goals and risk tolerance. Portfolios are rebalanced
to maintain the target asset allocation and impose discipline with regard to buying and selling of
securities. In addition to an investment portfolio, alternative investment strategies may be
implemented to complement core holdings to create a holistic approach to asset management and
assist in meeting longer-term financial planning goals.
Vincimus Capital also assists clients with the implementation of alternative investment strategies
when Accredited Investor, Qualified Client and Qualified Purchaser definitions are met. These
strategies include but are not limited to investments in fund of funds and direct private equity,
private credit, and private real estate investment trusts. These strategies are applied to a portion of
the portfolio managed toward longer-term trends and economic views where all factors of the
client’s suitability and liquidity have been met. In some instances, Vincimus Capital recommends
investment in a private investment fund, venture capital, special purpose vehicles, co-investments,
sidecars, and direct equity.
Vincimus Capital does not undertake to provide clients with legal, tax or accounting advice and
clients are advised to consult their own attorneys and accountants for any such advice.
INVESTMENT CONSULTING SERVICES TO FAMILY OFFICE
Vincimus Capital provides investment consulting services to family office clients. Our approach
to investment consulting emphasizes risk management and assisting our clients in identifying their
investment objectives and designing risk-managed strategies that seek to achieve these objectives.
The steps in our investment consulting process include:
Identification of client goals and cash needs
Identification of risks to goal-attainment
•
•
• Adoption of a written Investment Policy Statement
• Design of asset allocation and other investment strategies, guidelines and policies
Page 5
• Selection of risk and performance benchmarks for ongoing monitoring
• Recommendation of investment managers or funds
• Ongoing monitoring of risk management and performance
Our investment consulting clients often have multiple investment pools, each of which has its own
goals and needs. Examples are capital reserves, endowment funds, and pension assets. Distinct
policies, strategies, and monitoring processes are usually required for each situation. Our
investment consulting services differ from investment management services in that our consulting
services do not include the day-to-day selection of securities or trading.
LEGACY PLANNING
Additionally, we believe that leaving a financial legacy to one’s family and charitable causes
requires a thoughtful approach. It is never too early to begin planning for the eventual transition of
wealth. We are available to work with the client’s attorney, CPAs, and/or other representatives
regarding matters related to the client’s assets managed by Vincimus Capital. Holistic financial
planning includes tax planning, insurance planning, retirement planning and estate planning.
Financial planning services may include consultations and/or written plans, which analyze a
client’s financial situation and include appropriate recommendations for strategies and methods of
implementation.
Client Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, assets under management were approximately $71,974,221.93
managed on discretionary basis and $95,778,900.57 on a non-discretionary basis for a total of
$167,753,122.50 of regulatory assets under management.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Vincimus Capital’s fees are described below and in greater detail in the relevant client agreement.
Vincimus Capital reserves the discretion to negotiate and/or waive client fees. Either Vincimus
Capital or client may terminate the signed agreement for advisory services upon written notice. All
advisory and management services will cease 30 days after written notice has been received by
either party. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.
FEES FOR FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
Vincimus Capital charges a fixed fee for financial planning and consulting services. These fees are
negotiable but generally include a set fee, not to exceed $20,000, for a written financial plan and
financial planning and consultation services, payable at the initial consultation. If the client engages
Vincimus Capital for additional investment advisory services (i.e., opens an Individually Managed
Account with Vincimus Capital), Vincimus Capital may offset all or a portion of its financial
planning fees based upon the amount paid for the financial planning and/or consulting services.
Page 6
INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES FEES
The client’s account will be billed automatically for asset management fees, in accordance with the
following schedule:
Value of Assets Under Management
$0 to $1,000,000
$1,000,001 and above
Annual Fee
1.50%
1.00%
Value of Assets Under Management (401(k) Plan Management
$0 to $3,000,000
$3,000,001 to $4,000,000
$4,000,001 to $5,000,000
$5,000.001 and above
Annual Fee
1.00%
0.75%
0.50%
Negotiable
Vincimus Capital may negotiate its fee schedule. When determining a negotiated fee schedule, the
Firm may consider, but is not limited to consideration of, the size of the prospective client, the
prospective client’s potential to refer future business, and the expected costs of maintaining the
client relationship. Because of these negotiations some clients with the same amount of assets
under management may be paying more than others. Vincimus Capital does not differentiate its
services to clients based on their individual fee arrangements.
Fees for Vincimus Capital’s investment advisory services are billed quarterly in advance and are
deducted from the client’s account. Fees are calculated by multiplying one fourth of the indicated
annual fee by the total dollar amount of assets under management at the market close of the last
trading day of each quarter as reported by the custodian. Quarterly payments are due and will be
assessed based on the value on the last trading day of the preceding quarter. Upon termination, the
client is entitled to a pro rata refund of any pre-paid quarterly fee based upon the number of days
remaining in the quarter after termination. Either party, upon written notice, may terminate the
investment advisory agreement.
Clients should be aware that, in addition to the investment advisory fees paid by the client in
connection with the advisor’s portfolio management services, each mutual fund, money market fund,
exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) or exchange-traded note (“ETN”) also charges its own separate
investment advisory management fees and other expenses. The fees and expenses are generally
described in each fund’s prospectus. A client could invest directly in many of the investment vehicles
used by Vincimus Capital. In such cases, the client would not receive the services provided by
Vincimus Capital which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which
investments are most appropriate to each client’s financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the
client should review both the fees charged by the investment vehicles and the fees charged by
Vincimus Capital to understand fully the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to evaluate
the advisory services being provided. In addition, Lockwood Holmes, Jr, a control person of
Vincimus Capital, is also a control person in Sagacity DP LLC, a special purpose vehicle to invest in
a digital entertainment brand, which charges its own separate 2% investment advisory management
fee and a 20% carried interest fee, as well as other expenses. Vincimus Capital may recommend that
some clients invest in Sagacity DP LLC, in which case they will also pay Vincimus Capital
investment advisory fees on the money deployed to that investment.
Page 7
ADDITIONAL FEES AND EXPENSES
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest,
in mutual funds and exchange traded funds. The fees that you pay to our Firm for investment
advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or
exchange traded funds (described in each fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will
generally include a management fee and other fund expenses. Other transaction charges and/or
brokerage fees will be charged when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are
typically imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian through which your account transactions are
executed. We do not share in any portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges imposed by the
broker-dealer or custodian. In order to fully understand the total cost, you will incur, you should
review all the fees charged by mutual funds, exchange traded funds, our Firm, and others.
INVESTMENT CONSULTING SERVICES TO FAMILY OFFICE FEES
Vincimus Capital provides family office clients with investment consulting services. In some
cases, we charge a fixed fee or hourly fee for these services. These investment consulting fees are
negotiable, but generally range from $5,000 to $50,000 on a fixed fee basis and from $250 to $500
on an hourly rate basis, depending upon the level and scope of the services and the professional
rendering the services. When based on assets advised, the annual fee will be prorated and the client
will be billed quarterly, in arrears, based upon the market value of the assets on the last day of the
quarter.
Where our consulting services are ongoing, we will agree to an annual fee based on a percentage
of the market value of the assets on which we consult. This fee is negotiable and will not exceed
1.5% of assets under advisement on an annual basis. Investment consulting services provided to
family office clients are billed based on the value of the full balance sheet of the client’s net worth,
excluding primary residence. Assets on which the investment consulting fee would be assessed
could include private and venture capital investments, investment properties, securities portfolios,
and managed investments. In situations where Vincimus Capital provides both wealth management
and investment consulting services to a client, Vincimus Capital will charge a management fee on
managed accounts and a consulting fee on all other assets such that the client does not incur two
different fees on the same assets.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Vincimus Capital does not charge performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side
management. Performance-Based Fees are fees that are based on a share of capital gains or capital
appreciation of the assets of a client’s account. Side-By-Side Management refers to the practice of
charging accounts a performance-based fee arrangement while charging other accounts under a
different fee arrangement.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Vincimus Capital provides investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals,
corporate pension, and profit-sharing plans. The minimum requirements for opening and maintaining
an account is $1,000,000, although this minimum may be waived at our discretion.
Page 8
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Vincimus Capital’s goal is to improve the lives of clients by delivering wealth management
services that create value through personal relationships, a truly independent approach, and a
properly diversified portfolio. Vincimus Capital believes its philosophy is unique, and the
execution of that philosophy is the differentiating factor that makes Vincimus Capital stand out
from its competitors.
Vincimus Capital believes that investments must be tactically diversified. This means that
Vincimus Capital see value in assisting clients in creating investment portfolios that are balanced
with more than any single type of product and the investments are actively managed in an attempt
to reflect the risks and opportunities at any given time. To accomplish this, the Firm utilizes a
broad base of investment offerings, selecting only those that are analyzed through Vincimus
Capital’s proprietary due diligence model.
Vincimus Capital’s advisory services and strategies are provided based on discussions with the
client regarding objectives, financial circumstances, expected investment time horizon, and risk
tolerance. Based on this information, and any additional data obtained from the Client, Vincimus
Capital will assist the client in determining the allocation of the client's assets among investment
classes in an attempt to meet his or her goals and objectives. Vincimus Capital will make a
determination regarding the suitability of the allocation for the client. If the allocation appears
suitable, Vincimus Capital will execute transactions within the investment classes in a manner
consistent with the client's investment objectives and allocation.
It should be noted and carefully considered that strategies that are more aggressive in nature are
generally accompanied by an increase in risk and carry with them a greater likelihood for loss, up
to and including the loss of principal. Please be aware that investing in securities involves risk of
loss that the client should be prepared to bear. Vincimus Capital does not represent or guarantee
that its services or methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully identify
market tops or bottoms, or insulate clients from losses due to market corrections or declines.
Vincimus Capital also cannot offer any guarantees or promises that financial goals and objectives
will be met. Past performance is in no way an indication of future results. All investments involve
risk, including the potential loss of initial capital invested.
RISKS
Vincimus Capital does not guarantee the future performance of the account or any specific level of
performance, the success of any investment decision or strategy that the Firm may use, or the
success of the Firm’s overall management of the account. The client understands that investment
decisions made for the client’s account by the Firm are subject to various market, currency,
economic, political and business risks, and that those investment decisions will not always be
profitable.

Following are some risks particular to Vincimus Capital’s investment strategies:
Alternative Investments: Vincimus Capital may use alternative investments when permitted by
the particular client’s investment objectives. These funds may trade on margin or otherwise
leverage positions, thereby potentially increasing the risk to the client. There are numerous other
risks in investing in these securities. The client will receive a private placement memorandum
and/or other documents explaining such risks.
Asset Class Investing: By creating a portfolio constructed across a range of asset classes utilizing
funds and exchange-traded funds one can achieve a low-cost, tax-efficient, diversified portfolio.
A well-diversified portfolio should include exposure to multiple sectors of the market with
appropriate allocations to each depending on the investor’s personal situation, timeframe, goals,
risk tolerance and overall amount invested. Portfolios are rebalanced periodically to maintain the
target asset allocation. This imposed discipline leads to buying low and selling high when
rebalancing. This is contrary to the dangerous tendency of undisciplined investors who do the
opposite: often times they buy high and sell low as they chase the market or respond to fear.
Research in the area of behavioral finance has shown that large numbers of individual investors
fall victim to this trap.
Company Risk: When investing in stock positions, there is always a certain level of company or
industry specific risk that is inherent in each investment. This is also referred to as unsystematic
risk and can be reduced through appropriate diversification. There is the risk that the company will
perform poorly or have its value reduced based on factors specific to the company or its industry.
For example, if a company’s employees go on strike or the company receives unfavorable media
attention for its actions, the value of the company may be reduced.
Equity Market Risk: Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to
volatile increases and decrease in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers
change. If a client holds common stock, or common stock equivalents, of any given issuer, the
client would generally be exposed to greater risk than if he or she held preferred stocks and debt
obligations of the issuer. The price of a mutual fund or ETF may rise or fall based on the underlying
equity securities or market indices, which may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market
or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price
movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected
for the portfolios or the securities market as a whole such as changes in economic or political
conditions. When the value of the fund’s securities goes down, investment in the model portfolios
decreases in value.
Equity Securities: Vincimus Capital buys, on its clients’ behalf, equity securities the Firm believes
to be undervalued, seeking to profit from both security selection and thematic sector or market
timing decisions. The value of these investments will generally vary with their issuer’s
performance and movements in the equity markets. Consequently, clients may experience losses
if they invest in equity instruments of issuers whose performance diverges from our expectations.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): An ETF is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges,
Page 10
similar to stocks with pricing occurring throughout the trading day. ETFs, similar to mutual funds,
contain internal expenses and fees which lower investment returns.
Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs): An ETN is a bond issued by a financial institution, which is a
“counterparty” for the ETN. That company promises to pay ETN holders the return on some index
over a certain period of time and return the principal of the investment at maturity. However, if
that institution should become bankrupt or suffer other financial hardships (“counterparty risk”), it
would not be able to make good on its promise to pay.
Fixed-Income Securities: Some of Vincimus Capital clients may invest in bonds or other fixed-
income securities. Fixed-income securities provide periodic returns and the eventual return of the
principal at the end of the term. The value of fixed-income securities changes in response to interest
rate fluctuations and market perception of the issuer’s ability to payoff its obligations. Fixed-
income securities are also subject to the risk that their issuer maybe unable to make interest or
principal payments on its obligations.
Foreign Securities: Investments in foreign securities may be volatile and can decline significantly
in response to foreign issuer political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Foreign
securities are also subject to interest rate and currency exchange rate risks. These risks may be
magnified in securities originating in emerging markets. Foreign securities may also be subject to
additional or complex tax issues.
Management Risk: Your investment with Vincimus Capital varies with the success and failure of
our investment strategies. If our investment strategies do not produce the expected returns, the
value of the investment will decrease.
Market Risks: The profitability of a significant portion of Vincimus Capital’s recommendations
may depend to a great extent upon correctly assessing the future course of price movements of
stocks and bonds. There can be no assurance that Vincimus Capital will be able to predict those
price movements accurately. Investing in securities involves the risk of loss. Clients should be
prepared to bear such loss.
Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus a client may lose
money investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have internal expenses and fees that lower
investment returns. The funds can be of bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity”
nature (mentioned below).
Options: There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of options. Vincimus Capital clients
may invest in call and/or put options. Call options are the right to buy a security at a certain price
within a defined time period. Put options are the right to sell a security at a certain price within a
defined time period. A buyer of either type of option assumes the risk of losing its entire investment
in the option. A buyer of a call option risks losing its investment if the particular security never
reaches the designated the price within the set time period. A buyer of a put option risks losing the
investment if the particular security does not decline enough to reach the designated price within
the set time period.
Page 11
Private Company Risk: To the extent permitted by the client’s investment objectives, Vincimus
Capital may invest, on behalf of accredited investors, in private companies that are in the early
stages of growth, and the performance of early-stage companies may be more volatile due to their
limited product lines, markets or financial reserves, their susceptibility to competitors’ actions, or
major economic downturns. Such investments may also depend on the management talents and
efforts of a small group of persons and, as a result, the death, disability, resignation or termination
of one or more of those persons could have a material adverse impact on the prospective business
opportunities and the investments made. Some of the private companies in which investments are
made may require a significant investment of capital to support their operating or finance the
development of their products or markets and may be highly leveraged and subject to significant
debt service obligations, which could have a material adverse impact of the investment.
Private Placement Risk: Although private placements can help provide risk diversification, they
also carry a substantial risk as they are subject to less regulation than publicly offered securities.
Additionally, the market to resell these assets under applicable securities laws may be illiquid, due
to restrictions, and liquidation may be taken at a substantial discount to the underlying value or
result in the entire loss of the value of such assets. Individual private placement offerings are
reviewed carefully at the investment level before acceptance by the firm, and the conditions and
risks are discussed thoroughly with the client prior to implementation.
Real Estate Funds (including REITs): REITs face several kinds of risk that are inherent in the
real estate sector, which historically has experienced significant fluctuations and cycles in
performance. Revenues and cash flows may be adversely affected by: changes in local real estate
market conditions due to changes in national or local economic conditions or changes in local
property market characteristics; competition from other properties offering the same or similar
services; changes in interest rates and in the state of the debt and equity credit markets; the ongoing
need for capital improvements; changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses;
adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies; adverse changes in zoning laws; the
impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws.
REITs are also subject to certain other risks related specifically to their structure and focus, such
as: (a) dependency upon management’s skills; (b) limited diversification; (c) heavy cash flow
dependency; (d) possible default by borrowers; and (e) in many cases, less liquidity and greater
price volatility.
Real Estate Risk: Client portfolios may be invested in certain real-estate products, including
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DST) which have certain specialized risks, including: (a) illiquidity
and expectations that these investments are designed for long-term holding periods, usually two to
ten years; (b) potentially lower returns than if an investor managed their own property; (c) no
public market to which investors can sell their ownership interests in a DST; (e) relatively little to
any control by the investor on the type(s) of underlying real estate being invested; (f) dependency
upon the property management’s skills and expertise which can affect the value of the client’s
investment; (g) limited diversification; and (h) in many cases, less liquidity and greater price
volatility. The value of an investment in a DST may be adversely impacted by declines in the value
of real estate, adverse general and local economic conditions; and environmental conditions and
management/operator decisions over which the investor has limited and/or no control.
Page 12
Risk of Private Investment Vehicles: Vincimus Capital recommends that certain clients invest in
privately placed collective investment vehicles, such as private equity funds. Because private
investment vehicles are not registered investment companies, they are not subject to the same
regulatory reporting or oversight of a registered entity.
Sector Focus Risk: The portfolios may be more heavily invested in certain sectors, which may
cause the value of their shares to be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that
specifically affect those sectors and may cause the value of the portfolios to fluctuate more widely
than a comparative benchmark.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Vincimus Capital does not have any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or
prospective client’s evaluation of its advisory business or the integrity of its management.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Vincimus Capital is not affiliated with a broker-dealer and does not have any other financial industry
advisor affiliations beyond its role as investment advisor.
Vincimus Capital’s management persons are not registered, nor do any management persons have
an application pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-
dealer.
Vincimus Capital’s management persons are not registered, nor do any management persons have
an application pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator,
commodity trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
Lockwood Holmes, Jr is a minority owner of GP JAX Surf, LLC, a special purpose vehicle to invest
in a surf park development in Jacksonville, Florida. Lockwood Holmes, Jr is a co-owner of Sagacity
DP LLC, a special purpose vehicle to invest in a digital entertainment brand. Given the financial
stake held by Lockwood Holmes, Jr, a conflict of interest exists to the extent that Vincimus Capital
may recommend GP JAX Surf or Sagacity DP LLC to its clients for accounting services or as an
investment, and where Vincimus Capital is recommended to clients of GP JAX Surf or Sagacity DP
LLC for investment advisory services. The client is under no obligation to act upon any such
recommendation from either Vincimus Capital, GP JAX Surf, or Sagacity DP LLC. Any services
provided by GP JAX Surf or Sagacity DP LLC are separate and distinct from Vincimus Capital’s
advisory services and are provided for separate and typical compensation. Vincimus Capital may
receive compensation for professional engagements entered into between Vincimus Capital and the
entities listed in this section.

Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
Vincimus Capital adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to SEC Rule 204-1. Its purpose is to ensure
that employees maintain the highest standards of professional conduct and ethics. A basic tenet of
Vincimus Capital’s Code of Ethics is that the interests of clients are always placed first. The Code
of Ethics covers Standards of Conduct for conflicts of interests, confidentiality, political
contributions, personal securities trading and the handling of material non-public information. You
may obtain a copy of our Code of Ethics upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Neither our Firm nor any of our Representatives have any material financial interest in client
transactions beyond the provision of investment advisory services as disclosed in this Brochure
Personal Trading Practices
Our Firm or Representatives with our Firm may buy or sell the same securities that we recommend
to you or securities in which you are already invested. A conflict of interest exists in such cases
because we have the ability to trade ahead of you and potentially receive more favorable prices
than you will receive. To eliminate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that neither Vincimus
Capital nor our Representatives shall have priority over your account in the purchase or sale of
securities.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Vincimus Capital may require that clients establish brokerage accounts with certain broker-
dealers/custodians to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts
Factors that Vincimus Capital considers in selecting a broker-dealer/custodian include, but are not
limited to, the broker-dealer/ custodian’s financial strength, reputation, quality of execution and
responsiveness, pricing, research and service. In deciding to use any broker-dealer/custodian,
Vincimus Capital’s objective is not necessarily to obtain the lowest possible cost, but to obtain the
best qualitative execution under the circumstances. As a result, the commissions and/or transaction
fees charged by the broker- dealer may be higher or lower than those charged by other broker-
dealers. Vincimus Capital does not receive a portion fees or commissions charged by the broker-
dealer/custodian.
Vincimus Capital does not have any formal soft-dollar arrangements. However, Vincimus Capital
may benefit from services provided by the broker-dealer/custodian such as generic research
reports, electronic delivery of client information, electronic trading platforms, and other incidental
services provided by the broker-dealer/custodian for the benefit of the clients. Vincimus Capital ’s
receipt of these services for a discount or no charge may create an incentive for Vincimus Capital
to choose or continue to use a particular broker-dealer broker-dealer/custodian. Vincimus Capital
has examined this potential conflict of interest when choosing to enter into a relationship with the
Page 14
broker-dealer broker-dealer/custodian and has determined that the relationship is in the best interest
of Vincimus Capital’ s clients and is consistent with its client obligations, including the duty to
seek best execution.
Transactions for each client account generally will be effected independently unless we decided to
purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. We may
(but are not limited to) combine or “batch” such orders to obtain best execution, negotiate more
favorable commission rates, or allocate equitably among our client differences in prices and
commissions or other transaction costs that might have been obtained had such orders been placed
independently. Under this procedure, transactions will be averaged as to price and will be allocated
among our clients in proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account on
any given day. To the extent that we aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of securities,
we shall do so in accordance with applicable rules promulgated under the Advisers Act and no-
action guidance provided by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We shall not
receive any additional compensation or remuneration as a result of the aggregation. We shall
endeavor to process all Account transactions in a timely manner, but do not represent nor warrant
that any such transaction shall be processed or effected by the broker- dealer on the same day as
requested.
Not all advisers require their clients to direct brokerage. By directing brokerage, you may be unable
to achieve the most favorable execution of client transactions and this practice may cost clients
more money. As a matter of policy and practice, Vincimus Capital does not provide directed
brokerage services to clients. Furthermore, Vincimus Capital requires all trading in model
portfolios to be executed by Vincimus Capital portfolio managers and not by clients for its
discretionary accounts for which Vincimus Capital has Discretionary Authority (as defined under
Item 16). We do not allow clients to trade in model portfolios. Vincimus Capital does not direct
brokerage transactions to broker/dealers in exchange for client referrals. Vincimus Capital does not
permit clients to direct brokerage to a broker-dealer.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Vincimus Capital conducts periodic reviews of its investment advisory client accounts. This monitoring
entails comparing the client’s investment objective to the portfolio holdings, cash flows, changes
in the client’s financial position, and often discussion with the client. Reviews include efforts to
identify present portfolio holdings which might be overvalued and to focus on new investment
opportunities. Additionally, client holdings are reviewed in response to changes in the financial
markets, changes in the Firm’s investment strategy and/or changes in individual client
circumstances.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
The Firm consults with each client upon request to review the client's account and update client
investment goals and restrictions, if necessary. Clients are encouraged to immediately notify.
Vincimus Capital does not pay outside parties for referring clients. The Firm receives no cash
benefit, including commissions, from any party in connection with clients’ accounts.

Item 15: Custody
Vincimus Capital is deemed to have custody of client funds and securities whenever Vincimus
Capital is given the authority to have fees deducted directly from client accounts. For accounts in
which Vincimus Capital is deemed to have custody, the Firm has established procedures to ensure
all client funds and securities are held at a qualified custodian in a separate account for each client
under that client’s name. Clients or an independent representative of the client is required to direct
the establishment of all accounts in writing and is therefore aware of the qualified custodian’s
name, address and the manner in which the funds or securities are maintained. Clients should
receive at least quarterly statements from the broker-dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that
holds and maintains client’s investment assets. Vincimus Capital urges clients to carefully review
such statements and compare such official custodial records to any account statements that
Vincimus Capital may provide. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on
accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities.
If clients have questions about their account statements, they should contact Vincimus Capital or
the qualified custodian preparing the statement.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Vincimus Capital exercises discretionary and non-discretionary trading authority on its clients’
accounts. For discretionary accounts, authority includes the determination of which securities to
buy or sell, including the timing and amount of securities bought or sold in its clients’ accounts.
Each client agrees to this authority upon placing accounts under the discretionary investment
management agreement with Vincimus Capital, which includes a limited power of attorney
granting the Firm trading and fee withdrawal authority.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Vincimus Capital does not have any authority to and does not vote proxies on behalf of advisory
clients. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities
maintained in client portfolios and all information with regard to proxies will be mailed directly to
the client from the custodian. Vincimus Capital may provide advice to clients regarding the clients’
voting of proxies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, proxies for alternative investments in which
clients invest are generally voted by the general partner or managing member of the underlying
alternative investment vehicle.
Item 18: Financial Information
Vincimus Capital is not required to provide financial information. There are no current financial
circumstances that would impede our ability to serve our clients.
