Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Kailix Advisors LLC (“Kailix” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Kailix, which is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws
of the state of Florida. Kailix was founded in October 2020. Kailix is owned and operated by Manish Mittal
(Principal and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the
qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Kailix.
B. Advisory Services Offered
Kailix offers investment advisory to individuals and high net worth individual (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. This is achieved through regular personal Client contact. Our fiduciary commitment is further
described in our Code of Ethics. For more information regarding our Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code
of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
Kailix provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related
advisory services. Kailix works 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. Kailix will then construct an
investment portfolio, consisting primarily of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and individual stocks to achieve the
Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio
due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the
Advisor and the Client
Kailix’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.
Kailix 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.
Kailix evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. Kailix may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Kailix 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. Kailix 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.
Retirement Accounts – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will recommend that a Client
take a distribution from an ERISA sponsored plan or to roll over the assets to an Individual Retirement Accounts
(“IRAs”), or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one
IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-
based account). In such instances, the Advisor will serve as an investment fiduciary as that term is defined under
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if
the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under
any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.

At no time will Kailix accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority
as outlined in Item 15 - Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Private Fund Sub-Advisory Services
Kailix also serves as a sub-advisor to Ascent Focused Equity LP, a pooled investment vehicle (“Private Fund”).
Kailix is responsible for sub-advisory services to the Private Fund. Such services may include reviewing
information related to co-investment opportunities, conducting diligence on the co-investment opportunities and
reporting and consulting with the advisor to the Private Fund in connection with such due diligence analysis. The
respective services are further detailed in the offering documents for the Private Fund, which include as
applicable, operating agreements, private placement memorandum, and/or term sheets, subscription
agreements, separate disclosure documents, and all amendments thereto (“Offering Documents”).
The Advisor provides sub-advisory services to the Private Fund based on the investment objectives, policies and
guidelines as set forth in the respective Offering Documents and not in accordance with the individual needs or
objectives of any particular investor therein. Each prospective investor interested in investing in a Private 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 Private Fund and further acknowledges and
accepts the various risk factors associated with such an investment.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Kailix to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into a written
agreement with the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and
the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Kailix, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Kailix will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance of risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – Kailix will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – Kailix will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.

Kailix does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by Kailix.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, Kailix manages approximately $217,452,000 in Client assets, $ 119,887,000 of which

Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.

agreement with the Advisor.

A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management/Sub-Advisory Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are billed at an annual rate of up to 2.00% and are based
on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. “Qualified Clients”, as
described in Item 6 below are also charged an annual performance fee, if applicable. Please see Item 6.
Fees are based on several factors, including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to be
managed, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. The Advisor requires a $5,000,000 minimum for new
investors, subject to the Advisor’s discretion. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements,
portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee. All securities held in accounts managed
by Kailix will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Certain Clients may be offered
a fixed fee not to exceed the annual rate above. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets
under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Kailix will be independently valued
by the Custodian. Kailix will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these
commissions, fees, and costs.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management/Sub-Advisory 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 respective quarter-end date. The amount due is calculated by applying the
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with Kailix at the end of the prior
quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the
investment advisory fee. In addition, the Advisor will provide the Client a report itemizing the fee, including the
calculation period covered by the fee, the account value and the methodology used to calculate the fee. Clients are
urged to also review and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to the brokerage statement from the
Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting
advisory fees to be deducted by Kailix 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.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Kailix, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian. The fees charged by Kailix are separate and distinct from these
custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to Kailix 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 Kailix,
but would not receive the services provided by Kailix 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
Kailix to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional
information.

D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management/Sub-Advisory Services
Kailix may be compensated for its investment advisory services in advance of the quarter in which services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur
charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable
by the Client. 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.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Kailix does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for securities
transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Kailix may receive a performance fee in addition to its investment management/sub-advisory services fee based
upon any gains obtained in the accounts of “Qualified Clients” pursuant to the terms an investment advisory
agreement. Only Qualified Clients with either $1,100,000 under management with the Advisor or a net worth of
$2,200,000 may be offered a performance-based fee option.
The performance fee will be calculated at the close of the calendar year and deducted from Client accounts
directly by the Custodian. The performance fee charged may be up to 20.0% of any gains in the Client account[s]
for the year, subject to a high-water mark calculation. Only gains above the high-water mark shall be subject to
the performance fee. The Advisor will receive the performance fee only to the extent that there are cumulative
gains since the last performance fee calculation in the Client's account[s]. Performance fee may be negotiable at
the discretion of the Advisor.
Who is a “Qualified Client”?
The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), Rule 205-3(d)(1) defines a “Qualified Client” who is
financially sophisticated and meets one or more of the following conditions:
• Client is a natural person who, or a company that, immediately after entering into the contract has at
least $1,100,000 under the management of the Advisor;
• Client is a natural person who, or a company that, immediately prior to entering into the contract has a
net worth (together, in the case of a natural person, with assets held jointly with a spouse) of more than
$2,200,000 at the time the contract is entered into.
The receipt of a performance fee by certain Clients results in a potential conflict of interest, where the Advisor
has the potential for higher compensation from a Client. Qualified Clients that are charged a performance fee
may be offered a lower investment advisory fee. Kailix does not manage any proprietary investment funds or
limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend
any particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Kailix offers investment advisory services to individuals and high net worth individuals. Additionally, Kailix serves
as a sub-advisor to Ascent Focused Equity LP, a pooled investment vehicle.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Kailix primarily employs fundamental analysis methods in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from Kailix 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.
As noted above, Kailix generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. Kailix 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, Kailix 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. Kailix 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 strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a
short time later.

Phone: (305) 897-0252
Page 8
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited liquidity.
An investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions
and investments that may carry higher risks. Client should only have a portion of their assets in these
investments.
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 Kailix or its owner. Kailix values the trust you
place in us. As we advise all Clients, we encourage you to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or
service provider with whom you partner. Our backgrounds are available on the Investment Adviser Public
Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with our firm name or our CRD# 311094.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Sub-Advisor to a Private Fund
As noted in Item 6, the Advisor serves as a sub-advisor to Ascent Focused Equity LP, a pooled investment
vehicle (“Private Fund”). The fact that the Advisor is entitled to receive performance-based compensation creates
a conflict of interest in that it creates an incentive for the Advisor to recommend the Private fund to Clients.
Clients are under no obligation to invest in the Private Fund and the Advisor will always provide investment
recommendations that are in the best interest of Clients.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Kailix has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This
Code applies to all persons associated with Kailix (our “Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to
provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our duties to you, our Client. Kailix and its
Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of
Kailix’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 our Code, please contact us at (305) 897-0252.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Kailix allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Kailix does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does
not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Kailix does not have a material
interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Kailix allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities we recommend (purchase or sell) to you presents a
conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate 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 may have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty
to act in the best interest of its Clients can potentially 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 Kailix by conducting a coordinated review of personal accounts and the accounts of the Clients. We
have also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.

D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While Kailix allows our 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 afterwards.
At no time will Kailix, or any Supervised Person of Kailix, transact in any security to the detriment of any
Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
Kailix 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 Kailix to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
Further, Kailix does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of our Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
Where Kailix does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian
to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended Custodian and
will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not recommended by
Kailix. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not
engaged. Kailix may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of
commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of
the Custodian’s offices.
Kailix will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”),
FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member of SIPC. The Client’s selected Custodian will serve as the Client’s
“qualified custodian”. Kailix maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives
economic benefits from Schwab. Please see Item 14 below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. Kailix does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from Schwab. Please see Item 14
below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Kailix 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 Kailix will place trades
within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are
traded within their respective brokerage 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]). Kailix will not be obligated to
select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available
transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Kailix will execute its transactions through the Custodian
as authorized by the Client. Kailix may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased
or sold through the same broker-dealer 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 Client accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Mr. Mittal. 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 Kailix if changes occur in the
Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews
may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by Kailix
Kailix is a fee-only advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment product.
Kailix does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any un-
related third party. Kailix may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys,
accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients.
Likewise, Kailix may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Kailix has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a
division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Kailix. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Kailix 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
Kailix Advisors LLC
2980 NE 207th Street Suite 300 Aventura, FL 33180
Phone: (305) 897-0252
Page 11
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 and support to Kailix 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. Kailix believes, however, that
the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to the Advisor by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and
receive, directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, the Advisor will compensate
the Promoter a fee in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act and any corresponding state securities
requirements. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from the investment advisory fees earned by the
Advisor, and shall not result in any additional charge to the Client.
Item 15 – Custody
Kailix does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined
below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Kailix exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a
"qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and
securities and must instruct Kailix to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are
encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by Kailix to
ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Kailix 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
Kailix. 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 Kailix will be in accordance with each
Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Kailix 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 Kailix, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability
of Kailix to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Kailix, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to
a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Kailix is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure
Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $500 or more for services to be performed six months
or more in the future.
