Item 4 Advisory Business
Description of Firm
White Wing Wealth Management, LLC is a registered investment adviser based in The Woodlands, Texas. We are orga-
nized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Texas. We have been providing investment advisory
services since 2015. Our sole owner is Clifton "Scott" McMillan.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each investment advisory service listed
below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual needs. As used in this brochure, the words
"we," "our," and "us" refer to White Wing Wealth Management, LLC and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as
either a client or prospective client of our firm.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management services where our investment advice is tailored to meet
our clients' individual needs and investment objectives. These services include an initial consultation along with follow-up
consultations, as may be agreed, to discuss your unique investment objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, tax circum-
stances, and various other financial factors. We will ask that you complete certain investor questionnaires, on-boarding
forms, and other documents (such as, for example, a client profiling and risk questionnaire) to assist us in gathering infor-
mation about your financial needs and circumstances.
Based on our evaluation of the foregoing factors, we will use the information we gather to develop a strategy that enables
our firm to give you continuous and focused investment advice and/or to make investments on your behalf. Once we con-
struct an investment portfolio for you, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing basis, and will rebalance
the portfolio as required by changes in market conditions and/or in your financial circumstances.
If you engage our firm for discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant our firm discretionary au-
thority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine the specific securities, and the amount
of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without your approval prior to each transaction. If you enter into non-
discretionary arrangements with our firm, we must obtain your approval prior to executing any transactions on behalf of your
account. Please see Item 16 (Investment Discretion) of this Disclosure Brochure for more information on the different types
of management authority we offer under our portfolio management services.
We manage our clients' investments within the larger context of the client's overall wealth management and financial plan-
ning process. As part of our portfolio management services, we may, in our sole discretion, provide clients with complimen-
tary or reduced-cost financial planning services that complement the management of the client's investment portfolio in
order to better serve our clients and help them manage their overall financial affairs. For more information on the nature of
these services, please see below.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning services typically include a variety of advisory services regarding the management of the client's financial
resources based upon an analysis of their individual needs. These services can range from broad-based financial planning
where we deliver a written financial plan to consultative or single subject planning where provide financial planning recom-
mendations. If you retain our firm for financial planning services, we will meet with you to gather information about your
financial circumstances and objectives. As required, we will conduct follow-up interviews for the purpose of reviewing and/or
collecting additional financial data. Once such information has been reviewed and analyzed, we will provide you with our
financial planning recommendations and/or a written financial plan designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals
and objectives.
If we are engaged to deliver a customized written financial plan, the client's plan will generally include recommendations for
a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the client. For example, recommendations may be made that the client
make adjustments to their risk management strategy or revise existing coverage, establish an individual retirement account,
increase or decrease funds in savings accounts or invest funds in securities/mutual funds. The primary objective of this
process is to allow our firm to assist the client in developing a strategy for the successful management of income, assets
4
03/07/2025
and liabilities in meeting the client's long-term life and wealth goals.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the financial information
you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change. You are
under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. However, should you choose to act on any of our
recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the same through us. You may act on our recommendations by
placing securities transactions with any brokerage firm of your choosing.
Retirement Planning Consulting Services
We provide retirement planning consulting services where the investment advice provided is custom tailored to meet your
needs and investment objectives. Such services may include a risk tolerance assessment, asset allocation recommenda-
tions, and/or monitoring your account, and we may assist you in identifying categories of mutual funds and other investments
that are suitable based on your investment profile. We will not cause any transactions in conjunction with the advice and/or
recommendations given as you will be responsible for implementing our investment recommendations to the extent you
accept such recommendations. If we have access to your account statements, we will monitor your account on a periodic
basis to ensure the account remains aligned with your stated financial objectives. We may also provide general consulting
services to employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries based upon the needs of the plan and the services requested by
the plan sponsor or named fiduciary.
You are under no obligation to act on our recommendations. Should you choose to act on any of our recommendations, you
are not obligated to implement our recommendations through any of our other investment advisory services. Retirement
planning consulting services are based on the financial information you provide to us, and you must promptly notify our firm
if your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change.
Types of Investments
We primarily offer advice on mutual funds and exchange traded funds ("ETFs"). Additionally, we may advise you on various
types of investments based on your stated goals and objectives, or on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the
inception of our advisory relationship. Please refer to the Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss below
for additional disclosures on this topic.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, we manage approximately $151,924,000 in client assets on a discretionary basis.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Portfolio Management Services
Our Advisory Fee for portfolio management services is based on a percentage of the assets in your account, which generally
ranges from 0.65% to 1.25% of assets under management. Our Advisory Fee is typically billed and payable quarterly, in
arrears, and is calculated based on the balance in your account at the end of the billing period (i.e., the calendar quarter).
In certain circumstances, however, we may agree to negotiate other fee payment arrangements. If the portfolio management
agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a calendar quarter, our Advisory Fees will apply on a pro-rata
basis, which means that our Advisory Fee is payable in proportion to the number of days in the calendar quarter for which
you are a client. Our Advisory Fee is negotiable depending on individual client circumstances. All terms (Advisory Fee,
payment arrangements, etc.) will be evidenced in the advisory agreement.

Fees are withdrawn directly from client account with client written authorization daily and in advance.
At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same household to determine the
applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account values for you and your minor children, joint accounts with
your spouse, and other types of related accounts. Combining account values may increase the asset total, which may result
in your paying a reduced advisory fee based on the available breakpoints in our fee schedule stated above.
Unless we agree to invoice you directly, in which case payment is due upon receipt of the invoice, we will deduct our fee
directly from your account through the qualified custodian holding your funds and securities. We will deduct our advisory
fee only when the following requirements are met:
• You provide our firm with written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account held by the
qualified custodian.
.
•
• The qualified custodian agrees to send you a monthly statement indicating all amounts dispersed from your account
including the amount of the advisory fee paid directly to our firm. You may terminate the portfolio management agree-
ment upon written notice to our firm. You will incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the
portfolio management agreement, which means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of days in
the quarter for which you are a client. Upon receipt of the written notification of termination we will mail a check repre-
senting the prorated refund to you (if applicable). We encourage you to reconcile the statement(s) you receive from our
firm with the statements you receive from the qualified custodian. If you find any inconsistent information within these
statement(s), please call our main office number located on the cover page of this brochure.
Financial Planning Services
We generally charge a negotiable fixed fee of $2,500 for financial planning services. However, the amount of the fixed fee
applicable to your particular engagement for financial planning services may vary depending upon the complexity and scope
of your requested financial plan, your financial situation, and your financial objectives. All financial plans are typically deliv-
ered to you within six months from the date of inception. We do not require you to pay fees 6 or more months in advance
or in excess of $1,200.
Our financial planning fee is invoiced to you and payable upon completion of the contracted services. You may terminate
our financial planning agreement upon written notice to our firm. Upon early termination you will incur a pro-rata charge for
services rendered prior to the termination of the agreement at our current hourly rate of $150 (pro-rata charges not to exceed
the agreed fixed fee amount). At our discretion, we may offset our financial planning fees to the extent you implement the
financial plan through our portfolio management service.
Retirement Planning Consulting Services
Our annualized fee for retirement planning consulting services for plan participants is based on a percentage of the partici-
pant's plan assets, which generally ranges from 0.25% to 0.75%. Our fee for this service is typically billed quarterly in
arrears, but we may negotiate other fee payment arrangements depending on individual client circumstances.
Our fees will be assessed pro rata in the event that the advisory agreement is executed at any time other than the first day
of a billing period. Our fee is negotiable depending on individual client circumstances. Where we are engaged for consulting
services on behalf of the plan, we bill a fixed fee (Start-up Enrollment Fee) ranging from $500 to $5,000. In all cases,
applicable fees, fee payment arrangements, and the terms of the engagement will be clearly set forth in the advisory agree-
ment executed between our firm and you prior to services being rendered.
You may terminate the advisory agreement upon 30-days' written notice to our firm. You will incur a pro rata charge for
services rendered prior to termination, which means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of days in
the quarter for which you are a client. In the event we have negotiated other fee payment arrangements where we collected
6
03/07/2025
fees in advance, and there are pre-paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated refund of
those fees.
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 ETFs.
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 ETFs (described in each fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will generally
include a management fee and other fund expenses. Furthermore, depending on the SEI Program(s) in which you partici-
pate, you may also incur transaction charges and/or brokerage fees when purchasing or selling securities. These charges
and fees are typically imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian through whom 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. 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. For information on our brokerage practices, refer to the Brokerage Practices section of this brochure.
Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products
Neither the firm nor its supervised persons accept any compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products,
including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds.
IRA Rollover Considerations
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may recommend that you withdraw the assets from your employer's
retirement plan and roll the assets over to an individual retirement account ("IRA") that we will manage on your behalf on a
non-discretionary basis. If you elect to roll the assets to an IRA that is subject to our management, we will charge you an
asset-based fee as set forth in the agreement you executed with our firm. This practice presents a conflict of interest be-
cause persons providing investment advice on our behalf have an incentive to recommend a rollover to you for the purpose
of generating fee-based compensation rather than solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually
or otherwise, to complete the rollover. Moreover, if you do complete the rollover, you are under no obligation to have the
assets in an IRA managed by our firm.
Many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company plan. Also, current employees
can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before they retire or change jobs. In determining whether to complete
the rollover to an IRA, and to the extent the following options are available, you should consider the costs and benefits of:
An employee will typically have four options:
1. Leaving the funds in your employer's (former employer's) plan.
2. Moving the funds to a new employer's retirement plan.
3. Cashing out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan.
4. Rolling the funds into an IRA rollover account.
Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages and before making a change we encourage you to speak with
your CPA and/or tax attorney.
If you are considering rolling over your retirement funds to an IRA for us to manage here are a few points to consider before
you do so:
1. Determine whether the investment options in your employer's retirement plan address your needs or whether
you might want to consider other types of investments.
a. Employer retirement plans generally have a more limited investment menu than IRAs. b. Employer
retirement plans may have unique investment options not available to the public such as employer securities,
or previously closed funds.
2.
Your current plan may have lower fees than our fees.
a. If you are interested in investing only in mutual funds, you should understand the cost structure
of the share classes available in your employer's retirement plan and how the costs of those share classes
compare with those available in an IRA.
b. You should understand the various products and services you might take advantage of at an IRA

provider and the potential costs of those products and services.

Our strategy may have higher risk than the option(s) provided to you in your plan.
Your current plan may also offer financial advice.
If you keep your assets titled in a 401k or retirement account, you could potentially delay your required
minimum distribution beyond age 70.5.
Your 401k may offer more liability protection than a rollover IRA; each state may vary. a. Generally, federal
law protects assets in qualified plans from creditors. Since 2005, IRA assets have been generally pro-
tected from creditors in bankruptcies. However, there can be some exceptions to the general rules so you
should consult with an attorney if you are concerned about protecting your retirement plan assets from
creditors.
You may be able to take out a loan on your 401k, but not from an IRA.
IRA assets can be accessed any time; however, distributions are subject to ordinary income tax and may
also be subject to a 10% early distribution penalty unless they qualify for an exception such as disability,
higher education expenses or the purchase of a home.
If you own company stock in your plan, you may be able to liquidate those shares at a lower capital gains
tax rate.
Your plan may allow you to hire us as the manager and keep the assets titled in the plan name.
It is important that you understand the differences between these types of accounts and to decide whether a rollover is best
for you. Prior to proceeding, if you have questions contact your investment adviser representative, or call our main number
as listed on the cover page of this brochure.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not accept performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side management. Our fees are calculated as described
in the Fees and Compensation section above and are not charged on the basis of a share of capital gains upon, or capital
appreciation of, the funds in your advisory account.
Item 7 Types of Clients
We typically offer investment advisory services to individuals (including high net worth individuals), corporations, and other
business entities.
In general, we do not require a minimum dollar amount to open and maintain an advisory account; however, we have the
right to terminate your account if it falls below a minimum size which, in our sole opinion, is too small to manage effectively
-- this determination would be based on the particular facts and circumstances of the client account(s)
Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Our Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
We will use one or more of the following methods of analysis or investment strategies when providing investment advice to
you:
Modern Portfolio Theory ("MPT") - a theory of investment which attempts to maximize portfolio expected return for a given
amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, by carefully diversifying the pro-
portions of various assets.
Risk: Market risk is that part of a security's risk that is common to all securities of the same general class (stocks and bonds)
and thus cannot be eliminated by diversification.
Long-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities will grow over a relatively
long period of time, generally greater than one year.
Risk: Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in the long-term which may
not be the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular
investment will go down over time even if the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-terms create
an opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be better utilized in the short-term in other investments.
8
03/07/2025
Short-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a relatively short period of
time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short- term price fluctuations.
Risk: Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial markets will perform in the
short-term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproportionately higher amount of transaction costs compared to
long-term trading. There are many factors that can affect financial market performance in the short-term (such as short-term
interest rate changes, cyclical earnings announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer periods of times.
Our investment and asset allocation recommendations vary depending upon each client's specific financial situation and
circumstances. As such, our investment and allocation recommendations to you are based upon your predefined investment
objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, financial information, liquidity needs and other various suitability factors. Your re-
strictions and guidelines may affect the ultimate composition of your portfolio. It is important that you notify us immedi-
ately with respect to any material changes to your financial circumstances, including for example, a change in your
current or expected income level, tax circumstances, or employment status.
Tax Considérations
Our strategies and investments may have unique and significant tax implications. However, unless we specifically agree
otherwise, and in writing, tax efficiency is not our primary consideration in the management of your assets. Regardless of
your account size or any other factors, we strongly recommend that you consult with a tax professional regarding the in-
vesting of your assets.
Moreover, custodians and broker-dealers must report the cost basis of equities acquired in client accounts on or after Jan-
uary 1, 2011. Your custodian will default to the "first-in, first-out" ("FIFO") accounting method for calculating the cost basis
of your investments. You are responsible for contacting your tax adviser to if this accounting method is the right choice for
you. If your tax adviser believes another accounting method is more advantageous, provide written notice to our firm imme-
diately and we will alert your account custodian of your individually selected accounting method. Decisions about cost basis
accounting methods will need to be made before trades settle, as the cost basis method cannot be changed after settlement.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. We do not represent or guarantee that our
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. We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial
goals and objectives will be met. Past performance is in no way an indication of future performance.
Recommendation of Particular Types of Securities
We primarily recommend mutual funds and ETFs. However, we may advise on other types of investments as appropriate
for you since each client has different needs and different tolerance for risk.
Each type of security has its own unique set of associated risks and it would not be possible to list here all of the specific
risks of every type of investment we may recommend. Even within the same type of investment, risks can vary widely.
However, in very general terms, the higher the anticipated return of an investment, the higher the risk of loss associated
with that investment.
Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds: Mutual funds and ETFs are professionally managed collective investment
systems that pool money from many investors and invest in stocks, bonds, short- term money market instruments, other
mutual funds, other securities, or any combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the fund's investments
in accordance with the fund's investment objective.
While mutual funds and ETFs generally provide diversification, risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated
in a particular sector of the market, primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows
money) to a significant degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing the fund
with different types of securities. ETFs differ from mutual funds since they can be bought and sold throughout the day like
stock and their price can fluctuate throughout the day. The returns on mutual funds and ETFs can be reduced by the costs
to manage the funds. Also, while some mutual funds are "no load" and charge no fee to buy into, or sell out of, the fund,
9
03/07/2025
other types of mutual funds do charge such fees which can also reduce returns. Mutual funds can also be "closed end" or
"open end". So-called "open end" mutual funds continue to allow in new investors indefinitely whereas "closed end" funds
have a fixed number of shares to sell which can limit their availability to new investors.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose the facts of any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client's evaluation of our
advisory business or the integrity of our management. We do not have any required disclosures under this item.
Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
We are affiliated and under common control with White Wing Capital Partners, LLC, an ERA that manages a private fund,
White Wing Capital I, LP. This presents a conflict of interest in that our firm may receive more compensation from investment
in the fund than from other investments. Nevertheless, we always act in the best interest of the client consistent with its
fiduciary duties and clients are not required invest in the private fund if they do not wish to do so.
.
We do not utilize nor select third-party investment advisers.
Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Description of Our Code of Ethics
We strive to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing our practices. Therefore, our Code of Ethics includes
guidelines for professional standards of conduct for persons associated with our firm. Our goal is to protect your interests
at all times and to demonstrate our commitment to our fiduciary duties of honesty, good faith, and fair dealing with you. All
persons associated with our firm are expected to adhere strictly to these guidelines. Persons associated with our firm are
also required to report any violations of our Code of Ethics. Additionally, we maintain and enforce written policies reasonably
designed to prevent the misuse or dissemination of material, non-public information about you or your account holdings by
persons associated with our firm. Clients or prospective clients may obtain a copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting us at
the telephone number on the cover page of this brochure.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Our firm has a material financial interest in issuers of securities that we recommend for purchase or sale by clients. For
example, We are affiliated and under common control with White Wing Capital Partners, LLC, an ERA that manages a
private fund, White Wing Capital I, LP. This presents a conflict of interest in that our firm or its related persons may receive
more compensation from investment in a security in which our firm or a related person has a material financial interest than
from other investments. Client approval will be sought for client investment in such recommendations and, if granted, such
approval will be binding. Our firm always acts in the best interest of the client consistent with its fiduciary duties and clients
are not required invest in such investments if they do not wish to do so..
Personal Trading Practices
Our firm or persons associated with our firm may buy or sell securities for you at the same time we or persons associated
with our firm buy or sell such securities for our own account. A conflict of interest exists in such cases because we may
have the ability to trade ahead of you and potentially receive more favorable prices than you will receive. To mitigate this
conflict of interest, it is our policy that neither our firm nor persons associated with our firm shall have priority over your
account in the purchase or sale of securities.

Item 12 Brokerage Practices
Brokerage Recommendations
For clients engaging our firm for portfolio management services, we require clients to open one or more custodian accounts
in their own name at an independent custodian. We consider several factors in recommending a broker-dealer/custodian to
a client, which may include: ease of use, reputation, service execution, pricing and financial strength. We may also take into
consideration the availability of the research and/or services received or offered by the broker-dealer/custodian.
While you are free to choose any broker-dealer/custodian or other service provider, we generally require that you establish
an account with a brokerage/custodial firm with which we have an existing relationship. For clients in need of brokerage or
custodial services, we typically recommend the use of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), SEI Private Trust Company,
among others. These recommended broker-dealer/custodians generally offer independent investment advisers services
that include custody of client securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. Further, we believe that
these recommended broker-dealer/custodians provide quality execution services for our clients at competitive prices.
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
The Custodian and Brokers We Use
We do not maintain custody of your assets that we manage, although we may be deemed to have custody of your assets if
you give us authority to withdraw assets from your account (see Item 15 - Custody, below).
Your assets must be maintained in an account at a "qualified custodian," generally a broker/dealer or bank. In addition to
SEI, we also recommend that our clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member
SIPC, as qualified custodian and where appropriate for the client. We are independently owned and operated and are not
affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct
them to. While we recommend that you use Schwab as custodian/broker, you will decide whether to do so and will open
your account with Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with them. We do not open the account for you,
although we may assist you in doing so. Not all advisors require their clients to use a particular broker-dealer or other
custodian selected by the advisor. Even though your account is maintained at Schwab, we can still use other brokers to
execute trades for your account as described below (see "Your Brokerage and Custody Costs").
How We Select Brokers/ Custodians
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute transactions on terms that are, overall,
most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their services. We consider a wide range of factors,
including, among others:
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a separate fee for custody)
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests, bill payment, etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions
• Quality of services
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other fees, etc.) and willingness
to negotiate the prices
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability
• Prior service to us and our other clients
• Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below (see "Products and Services Available to
Us from Schwab")
Your Brokerage and Custody Costs
For our clients' accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab generally does not charge you separately for custody services
but is compensated by charging you commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or that settle into your Schwab
account. This commitment benefits you because the overall commission rates you pay are lower than they would be other-
wise. In addition to commissions, Schwab charges you a flat dollar amount as a "prime broker" or "trade away" fee for each
trade that we have executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities
11
03/07/2025
sold are deposited (settled) into your Schwab account. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other compensation
you pay the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we have Schwab execute
most trades for your account. Best execution means the most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors,
including those listed above (see "How We Select Brokers/Custodians").
Products and Services Available to Us From Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services™ (formerly called Schwab Institutional®) is Schwab's business serving independent investment
advisory firms like us. They provide us and our clients with access to its institutional brokerage— trading, custody, reporting,
and related services—many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available
various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients' accounts, while others help us
manage and grow our business. Following is a more detailed description of Schwab's support services:
Services That Benefit You. Schwab's institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment prod-
ucts, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets.
The investment products available through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that
would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab's services described in this paragraph
generally benefit you and your account.
Services That May Not Directly Benefit You. Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us
but may not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our
clients' accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab's own and that of third parties. We may use this research
to service all or a substantial number of our clients' accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to
investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other technology that:
• Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements)
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts
• Provide pricing and other market data
• Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients' accounts
• Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting
Services That Generally Benefit Only Us.
Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services
include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to provide the
services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party's
fees. Schwab may also provide us with other benefits, such as occasional business entertainment of our personnel.
Our Interest in Schwab's Services
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or purchase them. We don't
have to pay for Schwab's services so long as our clients collectively keep their assets in accounts at Schwab. This may give
us an incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with Schwab, based on our interest in receiving Schwab's
services that benefit our business rather than based on your interest in receiving the best value in custody services and the
most favorable execution of your transactions. This is a potential conflict of interest.
We believe, however, that our selection of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of our clients. Our
selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of Schwab's services (see "How We Select Brokers/Custo-
dians") and not Schwab's services that benefit only us. We do not believe that recommending our clients to collectively
maintain assets at Schwab in order to avoid paying Schwab quarterly service fees presents a material conflict of interest.

Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
As a registered investment adviser, we may have access to research products and services from your account custodian
and/or other brokerage firm. These products may include financial publications, information about particular companies and
industries, research software, and other products or services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance to our firm in
the performance of our investment decision-making responsibilities. Although such research products and services are
provided to all investment advisers that utilize the service platforms of these firms, they may under certain circumstances,
be considered "soft dollar" benefits. However, you should be aware that the commissions charged by a particular broker for
a particular transaction or set of transactions may be greater than the amounts another broker who did not provide research
services or products might charge.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other compensation, such as brokerage
services or research.
Directed Brokerage
We will require clients to use a specific broker-dealer to execute transactions.
Block Trades
If we buy or sell the same securities on behalf of more than one client, we might, but would be under no obligation to,
aggregate or bunch, to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, the securities to be purchased or sold for
multiple clients in order to seek more favorable prices, lower brokerage commissions or more efficient execution. In such
case, we would place an aggregate order with the broker on behalf of all such clients in order to ensure fairness for all
clients; provided, however, that trades would be reviewed periodically to ensure that accounts are not systematically disad-
vantaged by this policy. we would determine the appropriate number of shares to place with brokers and will select the
appropriate brokers consistent with our duty to seek best execution, except for those accounts with specific brokerage
direction (if any). When we do not or cannot aggregate trades, clients may receive less favorable prices, pay higher broker-
age commissions, or experience less efficient trade execution.
Trade Errors
In the event a trading error occurs in your account, our policy is to restore your account to the position it should have been
in had the trading error not occurred. Depending on the circumstances, corrective actions may include canceling the trade,
adjusting an allocation, and/or reimbursing the account. This policy is may be limited by the internal policies and procedures
of the custodian of your assets.
Item 13 Review of Accounts
Scott McMillan, Managing Member, will monitor your accounts on a ongoing basis and will conduct account reviews on an
annual basis (unless otherwise agreed with the client) to ensure that the advisory services provided to you are consistent
with your investment needs and objectives. Additional reviews may be conducted based on various circumstances, includ-
ing, but not limited to: contributions and withdrawals; year-end tax planning; market moving events; security specific events;
and/or, changes in your risk/return objectives.
We do not provide you with regular written reports on your account. You will receive trade confirmations and monthly or
quarterly statements from your account custodian(s).
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We may directly compensate non-employee (outside) consultants, individuals, and/or entities (Solicitors/Promoters) for cli-
ent referrals. In order to receive a cash referral fee from our firm, Solicitors/Promoters must comply with the requirements
of the jurisdictions in which they operate. If you were referred to our firm by a Solicitor/Promoter, you should have received
a copy of this Disclosure Brochure along with the Solicitor/Promoter's disclosure statement at the time of the referral. If you
13
03/07/2025
become a client, the Solicitor/Promoter that referred you to our firm will receive either a percentage of the advisory fee you
pay our firm for as long as you are a client with our firm, or until such time as our agreement with the Solicitor/Promoter
expires, or a one-time, flat referral fee upon your signing an advisory agreement with our firm. You will not pay additional
fees because of this referral arrangement. Referral fees paid to a Solicitor are contingent upon your entering into an advisory
agreement with our firm. Therefore, a Solicitor/Promoter has a financial incentive to recommend our firm to you for advisory
services. This creates a conflict of interest; however, you are not obligated to retain our firm for advisory services. Compa-
rable services and/or lower fees may be available through other firms. We may, via written arrangement, retain third parties
to act as solicitors for our investment management services. All compensation with respect to the foregoing will be fully
disclosed to each client to the extent required by applicable law. We will ensure each solicitor is properly registered in all
appropriate jurisdictions. All such referral activities will be conducted in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 under the Advisers
Act, where applicable.
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services it makes available to us and
other independent investment advisors that have their clients maintain accounts at Schwab. These products and services,
how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest is described above (see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices). The avail-
ability to us of Schwab's products and services is not based on us giving particular investment advice, such as buying
particular securities for our clients.
Item 15 Custody
As paying agent for our firm, your independent custodian will directly debit your account(s) for the payment of our advisory
fees. We do not have physical custody of any of your funds and/or securities. Your funds and securities will be held with a
bank, broker-dealer, or other qualified custodian. You will receive account statements from the qualified custodian(s) holding
your funds and securities at least quarterly. The account statements from your custodian(s) will indicate the amount of our
advisory fees deducted from your account(s) each billing period. You should carefully review account statements for accu-
racy.
Custody is also disclosed in Form ADV because White Wing has authority to transfer money from client account(s), which
constitutes a standing letter of authorization (SLOA). Accordingly, White Wing will follow the applicable safeguards specified
by the SEC rather than undergo an annual audit.
We are also deemed to have custody over the funds and securities invested in pooled investment vehicles that our affiliate,
White Wing Capital Partners, LLC manages, specifically White Wing Capital I, LP. White Wing Capital Partners, LLC has
the authority to transfer money from client account(s).
Item 16 Investment Discretion
If you engage us to perform discretionary management services, you must first sign our discretionary management agree-
ment before we can buy or sell securities on your behalf. Discretionary authorization enables our firm to exercise discretion
purchased or sold for your account(s) without obtaining your consent or approval prior to each over the selection and amount
of securities to be transaction. You may specify investment objectives, guidelines, and/or impose certain conditions or in-
vestment parameters for your account(s). For example, you may specify that the investment in any particular stock or in-
dustry should not exceed specified percentages of the value of the portfolio and/or restrictions or prohibitions of transactions
in the securities of a specific industry or security.
If you enter into non-discretionary arrangements with our firm, we will obtain your approval prior to the execution of any
transactions for your account(s). You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any advice provided by our firm on
a non-discretionary basis.
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
Without exception, we will not vote proxies on behalf of your advisory accounts. At your request, we may offer you advice
regarding corporate actions and the exercise of your proxy voting rights. If you own shares of applicable securities, you are
responsible for exercising your right to vote as a shareholder. In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from
the account custodian. However, in the event we were to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, we would forward
them directly to you by mail, unless you have authorized our firm to contact you by electronic mail, in which case, we would
14
03/07/2025
forward any electronic solicitation to vote proxies.
Item 18 Financial Information
Our firm does not have any financial condition or impairment that would prevent us from meeting our contractual commit-
ments to you. We do not take physical custody of client funds or securities, or serve as trustee or signatory for client ac-
counts, and, we do not require the prepayment of more than $1200 in fees six or more months in advance, nor have we
filed a bankruptcy petition at any time in the past ten years. Therefore, we are not required to include a financial statement
with this brochure.
Additional Information
Your Privacy
We view protecting your private information as a top priority. Pursuant to applicable privacy requirements, we have instituted
policies and procedures to ensure that we keep your personal information private and secure. We do not disclose any non-
public personal information about you to any non-affiliated third parties, except as permitted by law. In the course of servicing
your account, we may share some information with our service providers, such as transfer agents, custodians, broker-
dealers, accountants, consultants, and attorneys. We restrict internal access to non-public personal information about you
to employees, who need that information in order to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical and proce-
dural safeguards that comply with regulatory standards to guard your non-public personal information and to ensure our
integrity and confidentiality. We will not sell information about you or your accounts to anyone. We do not share your infor-

You will receive a copy of our privacy notice prior to or at the time you sign an advisory agreement with our firm. Thereafter,
we will deliver a copy of the current privacy policy notice to you on an annual basis. Contact our main office at the telephone
number on the cover page of this brochure if you have any questions regarding this policy.
Class Action Lawsuits
We do not determine if securities held by you are the subject of a class action lawsuit or whether you are eligible to partici-
pate in class action settlements or litigation nor do we initiate or participate in litigation to recover damages on your behalf
for injuries as a result of actions, misconduct, or negligence by issuers of securities held by you.
