ITEM 4 – ADVISORY SERVICES
A. Firm Information
Sepio was formed in 2017 and is a registered investment advisor with the SEC. Sepio is organized as a limited
partnership under the laws of Delaware. Sepio is owned by Roger A. Carter, Joshua R. Carter, Donald (Brad)
Edgren, who are Sepio’s managers, and Sepio Capital Holdings, LLC.
The Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding our qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by Sepio.
B. Advisory Services Offered
We offer investment advisory services to high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, businesses, retirement plans, institutional investors, pooled investment vehicles and registered
investment companies (each referred to as a “Client” or together, “Clients”).
We serve as a fiduciary to our Clients, as defined under applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, we uphold
a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seek to mitigate potential conflicts of interest.
Investment Advisory Services
We provide customized investment advisory solutions for our Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal
Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management, financial planning and related
advisory services. We typically offers these services as a bundled advisory engagement, but may, in certain
circumstances, offer them as individual services. We work closely with each Client to develop an investment
strategy that seeks to achieve the goals of the Client.
We primarily utilize either proprietary investment strategies and/or unaffiliated money managers or investment
platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) as defined below to develop Client investment portfolios, based
on the complexity and needs of each particular Client.
Proprietary Strategies – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, we will recommend to Clients, based
on their specific needs, that all or a portion of their investment portfolio be implemented by utilizing our proprietary
strategies. The proprietary strategies are primarily constructed utilizing mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), individual stocks and bonds, and when appropriate, digital assets. We may also utilize other types of
investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of each particular Client. Additionally, we may retain legacy
securities positions due to portfolio fit and tax considerations. We may also allocate a portion of your portfolio to
our proprietary pooled investment vehicles, including our private funds, or a combination of both. There is an
inherent conflict of interest when recommending your assets be allocated to our proprietary products because we
will receive additional fees from the management of such products. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that clients
may choose not to invest in our proprietary products.
We evaluate and select investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying our internal due diligence
process, which includes, but is not limited to, determining fair value of securities, assessing fundamental
momentum and determining risk management parameters for each security in a portfolio. Our investment strategies
are primarily long-term focused, but we may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than
one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions.
All Client assets will be managed within their designated separately held account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to
terms of the investment advisory agreement. This means that your assets are not pooled with other client assets
at the custodian of record. All private fund assets are maintained by a qualified custodian. For additional
information, please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. Assets of Clients who are invested in Private Funds are
pooled with the assets of other investors.
3
Retirement Accounts – When we provide investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or
individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), we are acting as a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are
laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, we will provide investment
advice to Clients regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA or
recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored plan to another, one IRA to
another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to a fee-based
account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if we 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 us.
Use of Independent Managers - We may also recommend to Clients that all or a portion of their investment portfolio
be implemented by utilizing one or more Independent Managers. In such instances, the Client may be required to
authorize and enter into an advisory agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that defines the terms in which
the Independent Manager[s] will provide investment management and related services. We may also assist in the
development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. We perform initial
and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Manager[s] to ensure the Independent
Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best
interests. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with unaffiliated investment manager[s] or investment
platform[s], will be provided with the Independent Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A (or a brochure that makes the
appropriate disclosures).
Digital Assets – We will assist interested Clients with establishing a digital currency account through Fidelity Digital
Asset Services, LLC (“FDAS”). FDAS is a platform for Digital Assets which Sepio offers as a possible portfolio
management diversification strategy for Clients that express an interest in exposure to digital assets. “Digital Asset”
shall mean a digital asset (also called a “cryptocurrency,” “virtual currency,” “digital currency,” or “digital commodity”),
such as bitcoin, which is based on the cryptographic protocol of a computer network that may be (i) centralized or
decentralized, (ii) closed or open-source, and (iii) used as a medium of exchange and/or store of value. Clients will
establish a Digital Asset account and transfer funds into an account opened on the FDAS platform.
Sub-Advisory Services
Sepio provides sub-advisory services to registered investment companies (herein the “Registered Funds”). We
are responsible for selecting the investments for the Registered Funds in accordance with the Registered Funds’
objectives, policies and restrictions. We construct the overall portfolios and provide trading instructions to the
unaffiliated investment adviser of the Registered Funds. For more detailed information on investment
objectives, policies and guidelines, please refer to the Registered Funds’ prospectus as filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Private Fund Advisor Services
We serve as the investment manager to pooled investment vehicles (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”).
These services are detailed in the offering documents for each 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 Funds are deemed to be Clients of Sepio. We manage each 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 Fund is
required to complete a subscription agreement in which the prospective investor attests as to whether or not he
or she meets the qualifications to invest in the Fund and further acknowledges and accepts the various risk factors
associated with such an investment.
In general, investors in the Funds are not permitted to impose restrictions or limitations. However, we may enter
into side letter agreements with one or more investors that may alter, modify, or change the terms of interest held
by investors. Certain types of side letters create a conflict of interest between Sepio and the investors in the Fund,
4
and/or between investors themselves.
For more detailed information on investment objectives, policies and guidelines, please refer to the respective
Fund’s Offering Documents.
Strategic Planning and Consulting Services
We also provide strategic planning and consulting services to Clients as part of the investment advisory
engagement or as a separate engagement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation,
depending on their goals, objectives and financial needs. Services are tailored to the unique needs of the Client.
Strategic planning and consulting engagements may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not
limited to, the needs of individuals and families, such as strategic investment planning, spending policy analysis,
budgeting and cash flow planning, charitable giving, tax planning, insurance analysis and other financial matters.
For institutions, consulting services may include outsourced Chief Investment Officer services, investment policy
development, manager due diligence and other advisory services.
At times, we may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney, affiliated or third-party Trust company or other
specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. In instances where we refer Clients to our affiliated Trust
Company, there is a revenue sharing agreement in place whereby Sepio Trust Company shares revenue with
Sepio Capital based on the underlying scope of work. We do not receive compensation for referrals to non-
affiliated entities.
For certain financial planning engagements, we will provide a written summary of Client’s financial situation,
observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, we 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.
Strategic planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of Sepio and the
interests of a Client. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by us or maintain an
ongoing relationship with us. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by us, the Client is
under no obligation to implement the transaction through Sepio.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
We provide advisory services on behalf of retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”).
Our retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations
to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor.
Services generally include:
● Vendor Analysis
● Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking
●
Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring
●
Investment Management
● Performance Reporting
● Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
● ERISA 404(c) Assistance
● Benchmarking Services
These services are provided by Sepio serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement
5
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan
Sponsor is provided with a written description of Sepio’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and
all direct and indirect compensation we reasonably expect under the engagement.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging us to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more
advisory agreements with us that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of Sepio and the
Client. These services may include:
● Establishing an Investment Strategy – We, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy targeted
to achieve the Client’s investment goals and objectives.
● Asset Allocation – We will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk of each Client.
● Portfolio Construction – We will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals
and objectives of the Client.
●
Investment Management and Supervision – We will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s portfolio.
● Strategic Planning and Consulting – For Clients engaging for investment advisory services, we provide
ongoing strategic planning and related services regarding the Client’s overall financial situation.
D. Wrap Fee Programs (to be discontinued June 1, 2025)
Historically, we have included securities transaction fees together with our investment advisory fees to provide
Clients with a single, bundled fee structure. This combination of fees is typically referred to as a “Wrap Fee
Program.”. A Wrap Fee Program Brochure is included as Appendix 1 to this Disclosure Brochure solely to discuss
the fees and conflicts associated with a bundled fee. We may also recommend the use of Independent Manager[s],
which may deliver services through a wrap fee structure. The Wrap Fee brochure is applicable only to Sepio
clients whose accounts were opened prior to June 1, 2025.
As of June 1, 2025, our fee structure will change so that our fees are “unbundled”, meaning, the transaction,
execution and clearing costs will be borne by Clients in addition to the investment advisory fee.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, we managed $4,464,814,589 in Client assets, of which $3,827,796,801 was managed
on a discretionary basis, and $637,017,787 was managed on a non-discretionary basis.

ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION
The following paragraphs detail our fee structure and compensation methodology. Each Client shall enter into one
or more agreements that detail the responsibilities of Sepio and the Client.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Advisory Services
Investment advisory fees are paid monthly, in advance of each month, pursuant to the terms of the investment
advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of all assets under management at
the end of the prior month. Investment advisory fees typically range from 0.50% to 1.00%, depending on the size
of the relationship, the complexity of the services to be provided, reporting requirements and/or the investment
strategies for the account[s].
The investment advisory fee in the first month of service is prorated from the inception date of the account. Certain
Clients may have a fixed annual fee or fixed rate fee that differs from the range above. Additionally, certain legacy
Clients may pay investment advisory fees quarterly. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate
assets under management with us. Investment advisory fees include financial planning and consulting services,
unless separately engaged for financial planning and consulting. We will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuations.
Use of Independent Managers – As noted in Item 4, we will implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment
portfolio utilizing one or more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, we do not earn any
compensation from an Independent Manager. We will only earn our investment advisory fee as described above.
Independent Managers typically do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule which will
reduce the fee with an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The
terms of such fee arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable
contract[s] with the Independent Manager.
Sub-Advisory Services
The Registered Fund’s fee is 0.71% based on the Registered Fund’s average daily net assets. For its services,
the investment adviser of the Registered Fund pays us the net of the fee received less the Registered Fund’s
operating expenses. For more detailed information on advisory fees, please refer to the Registered Fund’s
prospectus as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Fees for the Funds are paid quarterly pursuant to the terms of the Funds’ operating agreements and subscription
documents. We may charge an investment management fee at an annual rate of up to 2.00%. Additionally, the
Funds charge performance-based fees as outlined in Item 6 below. For more detailed information on the fees
and compensation received by the Sepio and its affiliates, please refer to the respective Fund’s Offering
Documents.
Strategic Planning and Consulting Services
If provided as a separate engagement, strategic planning and consulting services are offered on a fixed fee basis.
Fees may be negotiable depending on the nature and complexity of each Client’s circumstances. An estimate for
total costs will be determined prior to engaging for these services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.00%, billed monthly
in advance of each month, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Retirement plan advisory fees are based on
the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior month. Fees may be negotiable depending
on the size and complexity of the Plan.
7
B. Fee Billing
Investment Advisory Services
Investment advisory fees will be calculated by us and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The
amount due is calculated by applying the monthly rate (annual rate divided by the number of days in the year,
multiplied by the number of days in the month) to the total assets under management with us at the end of the
prior month. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction
of the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on
the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written
authorization permitting us to be paid directly from their accounts held by the Custodian as part of the investment
advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Use of Independent Managers – For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s
overall fees will include our investment advisory fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or
platform fees charged by the Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent
Manager or Sepio may assume responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees from the Client’s
account[s]. Please refer to the Independent Managers’ Form ADV for a complete disclosure of the fees and
expenses associated with the Independent Managers.
As of June 1, 2025, Sepio is moving from a “bundled” or “wrap” fee to an unbundled structure whereby transaction,
custody and clearing fees will be charged directly to Clients by the custodian. Sepio does not receive any portion
of the custodian’s fees. A detailed fee schedule can be found with the custodian’s brokerage account application
package.
Sub-Advisory Services
For its services, the investment adviser of the Registered Funds pay us a fee, which is calculated daily and paid
monthly, based on the Registered Funds’ average daily net assets. For more detailed information on the fee
methodology, please refer to the Registered Funds’ prospectus as filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Private Fund Advisor Services
The amount due to us for management of the Funds is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate
divided by the number of days in the year, multiplied by the number of days in the quarter) to the net invested
capital or net asset value, pursuant to the operating agreements and subscription documents. For more detailed
information on the fee methodology, please refer to the respective Fund’s Offering Documents.
Strategic Planning and Consulting Services
Strategic planning and consulting fees are invoiced upon receipt of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan, depending on the
terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain additional fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made
by us on behalf of the Client’s account[s].
Until June 1, 2025 the investment advisory fee shall include securities transaction fees for trading in the account[s],
except for Client- directed trades, non-managed accounts and assets excluded from our billing. In these instances,
the Client shall be responsible for securities transaction fees. Securities transaction fees may be billed to the Client
by Independent Managers based on the fee methodology and agreements with the respective manager. Beginning
June 1, 2025, our fees will be “unbundled” which means Clients will pay transaction costs levied by the custodian.
In addition, all fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged
8
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. Many mutual funds charge an early redemption fee. The Client should review both the fees
charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by us to fully understand the total fees to be paid.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Investors in the Funds may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, in connection with investments
made on behalf of the Funds. The Funds [and indirectly investors] are responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian and executing broker-dealer, if applicable. The fees charged by
underlying investments are also indirectly included in the value of an Investor’s account. Additional details
regarding management fees and performance allocations are included the Funds’ Operating Agreements
and Confidential Private Placement Memorandum.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Advisory Services
We are compensated for its investment advisory services in advance of each month 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. Upon termination, we will promptly refund any unearned, prepaid fees to the Client. The
Client’s investment advisory agreement with us is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers – In the event that a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with an
Independent Manager, we will either assist the Client in transitioning assets to a different affiliated and/or
unaffiliated manager, or the terms for termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client
and those third parties.
Sub-Advisory Services
The terms for terminating the sub-advisory agreement between the investment adviser and Sepio are outlined in
the sub-advisory agreement.
Private Fund Services
We are compensated in advance of the quarter in which private fund services are rendered. If an investor
withdraws from a Fund, we will refund any unearned portion of any advance payment back to the Fund. For more
detailed information on the fees and compensation received by Sepio and its affiliates, please refer to the
respective Fund’s Offering Documents.
Strategic Planning and Consulting Services
We are compensated for our strategic planning and consulting services upon completion of the engagement
deliverable[s]. Either party may terminate the strategic planning and consulting agreement, at any time, by
providing advance written notice to the other party. Upon termination, the Client shall be responsible for fees based
on the percentage of the engagement completed. The Client’s strategic planning and consulting agreement with
us is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
We are compensated for our retirement plan advisory services in advance of each month in which services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. Upon termination, we will refund any unearned, prepaid retirement plan advisory
fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the month. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement
with us is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
9
ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
Performance-Based Fees
In specific investment strategies or Client situations, we will receive a performance fee based upon specific gains
obtained in the accounts of “Qualified Clients,” as defined in Item 7 below, pursuant to the terms of the investment
advisory agreement. Performance-based fees are in addition to the investment advisory fee described in Item 5
above.
For accounts subject to performance-based fees, at the end of each fiscal year, the capital appreciation in the
Client’s account[s] will be calculated by us. If the appreciation exceeds a predetermined benchmark or absolute
rate, the Client will be subjected to an additional performance-based fee rate.
In other circumstances, a performance-based fee engagement can be entered into to allow for the charging of an
annual percentage of capital appreciation of such Qualified Client’s Gross Assets, subject to certain terms, such
as a high-water mark or hurdle rate, of any gains in the Client account during the preceding year. The terms for
the Client specific performance-based fee engagement will be set forth in each Qualified Clients’ investment
advisory agreement.
Certain of our Funds charge performance-based fees pursuant to the terms of the Offering Documents. Clients
should refer to the respective Offering Documents of each Fund for a complete listing of fees and expenses
associated with investing in our Funds.
Clients should understand that certain conflicts of interest exist due to performance-based fee arrangements, which
include the fact that it creates a financial incentive for us to make investments that are more risky or more
speculative than might otherwise be the case in the absence of such arrangement. To mitigate the conflict, the
performance-based fees are structured so that certain performance hurdles must be met in order to receive the
fee. Importantly, as part of our fiduciary duty, we must act in the best interest of its Clients.
Side-By-Side Management
Regarding side-by-side management, we receive different types of fees, such as asset-based and performance-
based fees. Managing Clients that are charged different types of fees creates conflicts of interest between us and
our Clients, in addition to the ones listed above. For example, charging performance- based fees could incentivize
us to allocate more favorable investments to those Clients being charged a performance-based fee. We have
adopted and implemented policies and procedures intended to address conflicts of interest relating to the
management of multiple types of Clients, including Clients with multiple fee arrangements, and the allocation of
investment opportunities.
10
ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS
We offer investment advisory services to high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, businesses, retirement plans, institutional investors, pooled investment vehicles and registered
investment companies. We do not impose a size constraint for establishing a relationship but do tailor our services
to high-net-worth individuals. Additionally, the Funds have minimum investments that vary based on different
strategies ranging up to $250,000.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Generally, the investors in the Funds meet the definition of “accredited investor” as defined in the Securities Act of
1933 and “qualified client” as defined in the Advisers Act. The various requirements for investing in a Fund,
including the minimum investment size, are set forth in each Fund’s Offering Documents. We have the ability,
in our sole discretion, to permit commitments below the minimum amounts set forth in the Offering
Documents.
11
ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
A. Methods of Analysis
We primarily employ fundamental analysis in developing investment strategies for our Clients. Our research and
analysis are derived from numerous sources, but principally consist of company financial statements and filings,
including annual reports, quarterly reports, earnings reports, transcripts of earnings calls, prospectuses, press
releases and investor presentations. .
Fundamental analysis utilizes reported financial results and the modeling of company specific financial projections
that may be generated from the ongoing operation of the business to estimate a business or asset’s intrinsic value.
We primarily focus on the free cash flow that a business or asset has reported and may continue to generate over
an intermediate to long-term period of analysis. In addition to free cash flow, we analyze historical and estimated
earnings, sales and profitability measures to determine the potential attractiveness of a company or asset’s
valuation. These criteria generally consist of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial
viability of the entity being analyzed. While this type of analysis helps us in evaluating a potential investment, it does
not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the
fundamental analysis may lose value and may have a negative investment performance. We monitor these
fundamental indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic asset allocations are appropriate. More details on
our review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
As noted above, we generally employ a long-term investment approach for our Clients, consistent with their
financial goals and risk profiles. We 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,
we 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. We 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 Clients will
meet their investment goals.
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[s]. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. We 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 us 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.
We 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 our investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large

bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short
time later.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Private Collective Investment Vehicle Risks
We recommend that certain clients invest in privately placed collective investment vehicles (e.g., hedge funds,
private equity funds, etc.). The managers of these vehicles have broad discretion in selecting the investments.
There are few limitations on the types of securities or other financial instruments that may be traded and no
requirement to diversify. Hedge funds may trade on margin or otherwise leverage positions, thereby potentially
increasing the risk to the vehicle. In addition, because the vehicles are not registered as investment companies,
they are much less regulated than investment companies. There are numerous other risks in investing in these
securities. Clients should consult each fund’s private placement memorandum and/or other documents explaining
such risks prior to investing.
Digital Assets
Digital Assets, and the use of virtual currencies to buy and sell goods and services, are relatively new and rapidly
evolving concept. Once a transaction is recorded, that transaction is theoretically immutable and cannot be
reversed due to the cryptographic nature of the recordkeeping and the decentralized nature of the network.
Additionally, the growth of Digital Assets in general is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting
their further development, include (i) their continued worldwide growth, adoption and use; (ii) government and
quasi-government regulation of the use, creation and offering of Digital Assets, as well as restrictions on and
regulation related to the operation of and access to a Digital Asset’s network; (iii) changes in consumer
demographics and public tastes and preferences; (iv) the maintenance and development of the open-source
software protocol of a Digital Asset’s network; (v) the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying
and selling goods and services, including new means of using Digital Assets; and (vi) general economic conditions
and the regulatory environment relating to Digital Assets. If Digital Assets were deemed “centralized” and found to
be securities they may not be easily transferred and may lose their value due to an inability to transfer such Digital
Assets unless any transfer complies with applicable securities law exemptions.
The price of Digital Assets is affected by many factors, including, but not limited to, global supply and demand, the
expected future prices, inflation expectations, interest rates, currency exchange rates, fiat currency withdrawal and
deposit policies at cryptocurrency exchanges, interruptions in service or failures of major cryptocurrency
exchanges, investment and trading activities of large investors, monetary policies of governments, regulatory
measures that restrict the use of cryptocurrencies, global political, economic, or financial events. Pricing also might
be influenced by efforts at market manipulation by certain participants. Drastic or even gradual changes in price of
cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency derivatives could materially affect the value of the Client’s Digital Assets.
Leveraged and Inverse ETF Risks
Leveraged and Inverse ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors
who understand leverage risk, and consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results and intend to
actively monitor and manage their investments. Leveraged ETFs are not designed to track the underlying index
over periods longer than one trading day. The use of leverage increases the level of investment risk. Leverage will
magnify gains or losses on those investments. Inverse ETFs lose value when the underlying investments rise in
value. The investments have the risk of not meeting their stated daily investment objectives over a long-term period.
Cybersecurity Risk
Cybersecurity vulnerabilities may present weaknesses in information systems that hackers could exploit.
13
Investment advisors, the securities they recommend, and all service providers are all subject to risks associated with a
breach in their cyber security.
Business Catastrophic Risk
Clients may be subject to the risk of loss arising from exposure that it may incur, indirectly, due to the occurrence of
various events, including hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, or other catastrophic events such as
a pandemic. These catastrophic risks of loss can be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on
investment advisory businesses and their clients’ portfolios.
Manager Risk
Manager risk encompasses the possibility of loss due to manager fraud, intentional or inadvertent deviation from a
predefined investment strategy, or simply poor judgment.
General Economic Conditions
General economic conditions can affect the level and volatility of interest rates and the extent and timing of investor
participation in the markets for equities, interest sensitive securities, commodities, and other investments.
Unexpected volatility or illiquidity in the markets can result in losses.
Bank Failures
The economic and regulatory environment has raised the risk of bank failures. Exposure to the risk of bank failure for
Sepio can take effect directly through depositary accounts exceeding FDIC limits and via exposure through loans,
subscription facilities and security deposits through letters of credit issued by such banks, which can no longer be
drawn from. These risks can apply at the client and/or investment level. Sepio mitigates these risks by keeping
track of various banking and custodial relationships and acting on contractual provisions where a bank failure
triggers a change and by limiting depositary account amounts to the FDIC insured levels where practical. Sepio l is
reviewing direct banking relationships as part of our ongoing diligence of key service providers. As of the date of this
filing Sepio has experienced no direct impact from the current bank failures and expects no impact on near-term
cash management.
Market Disruptions and Governmental Intervention
Government intervention in the case of market disruption can suddenly and substantially impact market
participants’ ability to implement certain strategies or manage the risk of portfolio positions. These interventions can
be material and result in confusion and uncertainty that can detrimentally impact investment strategies in unpredictable
ways.
Risks of Investments in Non-U.S. Securities
Non-U.S. investments, and those in emerging markets, involve special risks. These risks include fluctuations in
currency exchange rates, foreign government intervention or expropriation, failure of markets to function properly,
political or economic instability, and differences in regulatory, financial disclosure, accounting, and auditing
standards.
Inflation Risk
As interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income investments falls, and vice versa. Higher rates of inflation generally
adversely affect economies and financial markets and the ability of governments to create conditions that stimulate
or maintain economic growth. In addition, governmental measures to curb inflation and speculation about future
governmental measures may contribute to the negative economic impact of inflation and may create general
economic uncertainty. Future governmental economic measures, such as interest rate increases, intervention in
foreign exchange markets, and actions to adjust or fix currency values, may trigger, or exacerbate increases in
inflation, and consequently have an adverse impact on investment returns.
Extraordinary Events.
Global terrorist activity and armed conflicts may negatively affect general economic conditions, including sales,
profits, and production, and may materially affect prices and/or impair Sepio’s trading facilities and infrastructure
or the trading facilities and infrastructure of the exchanges or markets on which Sepio trades. Such effects and
14
impacts could have a material adverse effect on certain investments.
The impact of disease and epidemics may have a negative impact on the performance and financial position of Sepio
and the funds and investments it recommends. Outbreaks of existing or new epidemics could result in health or other
government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses, as well as a general economic decline.
Regulatory Developments.
The legal, tax, and regulatory environment worldwide in the financial industry is evolving, and changes in regulations
affecting the financial industry, including Sepio’s and the issuers of financial instruments held in a client’s account,
may have a material adverse effect ability to pursue the investment strategies described above or the value of the
instruments held in a client’s account. There has been an increase in scrutiny of the financial industry by
governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations. Various national governments have expressed concern
regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading and the need to regulate the financial markets in general.
New laws and regulations or actions taken by regulators that restrict Sepio’s ability to pursue investment strategies
or conduct business with broker-dealers and other counterparties could adversely affect a client’s account.
ESG or Impact Risks.
The potential non-financial risks associated with environmental, social, and governance factors or impact
investments that could negatively impact a company’s reputation, earnings, assets, cost of capital, and valuation.
Examples of these may include but are not limited to: Environment: Changes in weather patterns and extreme
events associated with climate change, inefficient use or pollution of the earth’s resources such as water and land,
damage to ecosystems; Social: Poor labor relations and policies, lack of gender and/or racial equality,
discriminatory practices and products that are detrimental to health or the environment; Governance: Poor
corporate management and oversight practices, lack of robust worker safety protocols, lack of diversity and outside
representation on the board which can create conflicts of interest as well as poor governance of executive
management. ESG ratings of companies are often based on subjective measures, and may include corporate self-
reporting, different and inconsistent third-party rating systems, as well as data points that are associated with
positive or negative outcomes but where causation has not been established. It is also possible that companies
that do have a positive impact in the areas identified, or that successfully avoid some or most of the ESG risks
noted, will not have favorable financial returns. Accordingly, their stock prices could underperform their peers
despite alignment with ESG objectives.
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.
The foregoing discussion is not meant to be an exhaustive list of risk factors. For a more fulsome
discussion of risk factors, Clients should read and review the offering documents for each investment in
their entirety prior to undertaking an investment with Sepio and discuss them with their accounting, tax and
legal representatives.
15
ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving us or our management persons. We value the trust
Clients place in us. We encourage Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider
with whom the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Sepio and its Advisory Persons are available on the
Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching our firm name or CRD#’
285645.
16
ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Sepio Capital Management GP, LLC
We are affiliated and under common control with Sepio Capital Management GP, LLC (SCM GP). SCM GP serves
as the general partner to certain Funds managed by Sepio. Due to the affiliation, we have an incentive to
recommend investments in the Funds as owners will benefit financially in their individual capacity through the
receipt of additional revenue. The conflict is mitigated by an internal policy mandating that we will not charge a
separate investment advisory fee for the management of the assets placed in the Funds. Additionally, there is no
requirement for us to recommend the Funds to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest in Funds.
Sepio Trust Company
As of 2024, we are affiliated with Sepio Trust Company. Sepio Trust Company is a publicly registered Trust
company with the Wyoming Division of Banking and provides trust services for existing advisory clients, or other
clients not affiliated with us or Sepio Trust Company. For any client where Sepio Capital provides investment
advice, there is a revenue sharing agreement in place whereby Sepio Trust Company shares revenue with Sepio
Capital based on the underlying scope of work. This affiliation represents a conflict of interest in that we may be
incentivized to refer clients to Sepio Trust Company for compensation. However, this conflict is mitigated by the
fact that not all clients require trust services, and advisory clients of ours are not required to utilize Sepio Trust
Company for trust services.
17
ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND
PERSONAL TRADING
A. Code of Ethics
We have implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This
Code applies to all persons associated with us (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide
general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our Supervised Persons’ duties to each Client. Sepio
and our Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation
of our Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general
principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of
interest. To request a copy of the Code of Ethics, please contact the Advisor at (415) 915- 3716.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
We allow the purchase or sale of the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of
Clients, subject to de minimis limits. We do not act as principal in any transactions. Given our affiliation with the
General Partner to the Funds, have a material interest in certain securities which may be recommended to Clients.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
We allow the purchase or sale of the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of
Clients, subject to certain limitations. Owning the same securities that we recommend (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to Clients and mitigate through policies and
procedures. As noted above, hawse have adopted a Code of Ethics, which addresses insider trading (material
nonpublic information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. When trading for personal accounts,
Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best
interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades,
or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by us requiring reporting of personal
securities trades by its employees for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). We have also adopted
written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, nonpublic information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While we allow the purchase or sale of 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
Supervised Persons be permitted to transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
18
ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES
We utilize the brokerage and clearing services of Fidelity Family Office Services (“Fidelity”), a division of Fidelity
Brokerage Services LLC and related entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc. for investment advisory accounts.
Factors which we considered in utilizing Fidelity include their respective financial strength, reputation, execution,
pricing, and service. Fidelity enables us to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and other
securities at nominal transaction charges. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Fidelity may be
higher or lower than those charged by other Financial Institutions. We do not recommend brokers to our clients.
We believe the commission schedule offered by Fidelity complies with our duty to seek “best execution.” Clients
may pay commissions that are higher than another qualified custodian might charge to effect the same transaction
where we determine that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether
the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a qualified
custodian’s services, including among others, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. We
seek competitive rates but may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions.
Directed Brokerage
Clients are not obligated to use Fidelity and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a - qualified
custodian not recommended by us. Clients may request in writing to use a particular broker dealer or custodian to
execute some or all transactions for the Client, and we may comply if we have a relationship with the particular
institution. In such cases, the Client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account with that broker dealer
or custodian, and we will not seek better execution services or prices from such entities or be able to “batch” client
transactions for execution through other broker dealers or custodians with orders for other accounts managed by
us (as described below). As a result, the client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater
spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case.
Subject to our duty of best execution, we may decline a Client’s request to direct brokerage if, in our sole discretion,
such directed brokerage arrangements would result in additional operational difficulties or violate restrictions
imposed by other broker-dealers.
(Clients investing in Digital Assets must use FDAS for trade and execution purposes. Fidelity is an unaffiliated SEC-
registered broker-dealer and FINRA member. Fidelity will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.” We maintain
an institutional relationship with Fidelity, whereby we receive economic benefits from Fidelity. Please see Item 14
below.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Given the nature of the Funds’ investment programs, we may utilize broker-dealers in conducting portfolio
transactions. In selecting brokers for the Funds’ portfolio transactions, we will seek to obtain best execution for the
Funds, taking into account, without limitation, the following factors: the ability to effect prompt and reliable executions
at favorable prices (including the applicable dealer spread or commission, if any); the operational efficiency with
which transactions are effected, taking into account the size of order and difficulty of execution; the financial
strength, integrity and stability of the broker; the broker’s risk in positioning a block of securities; the quality,
comprehensiveness and frequency of available research and information considered to be of value; and the
competitiveness of spreads and commission rates in comparison with other brokers satisfying our other selection
criteria.
Following are additional details regarding our brokerage practices:
A. Brokerage Referrals
We do not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing
an account.
19
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 considering such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4)
confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. We will execute its transactions through the Custodian as
designated by the Client, unless otherwise instructed. We may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when
securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts. 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 particular Client accounts.
C. Digital Assets
Due to the nature of Digital Assets, trades cannot be aggregated. To address fair allocation and pricing for Client
Accounts, each portfolio manager who recommends a wholesale increase or decrease in Clients’ Digital Assets
will maintain a list of all participating Client Account numbers for each aggregated trade. The traders will organize
Client Account numbers in ascending or descending order, and alternate daily trading orders by rotating ascending
order and descending order of Client Accounts to achieve equity among trading orders. Client Accounts that are in
the process of being onboarded are excluded from the concurrent order process due to the time delaying
processing documentation and funding the account. Client Accounts pending funding are also excluded from the
concurrent order process. Trades in digital assets for employees/principals will be executed last.
D. Private Fund Services
As each of the Funds has different underlying investments, there is generally not an opportunity to aggregate
orders among the Funds. To the extent that more than one investment opportunity is suitable for multiple Funds,
we will seek to allocate the opportunity in a manner that is fair and equitable to all investors in accordance with the
Offering Documents of such Funds.
20
ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
A. Frequency of Reviews
Investment Management Services
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Principals of Sepio. Formal
reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Security positions in the Funds are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Sepio.
B. Causes for Reviews
Investment Management Services`
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 us 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.
Private Fund Advisor Services
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., the Funds may be reviewed as a result of major
changes in economic conditions. Investors are encouraged to notify us if changes occur in their personal financial
situation that might impact the appropriateness of investing in the Fund[s].
C. Review Reports
Investment Management Services
Clients will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements
are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. Clients may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s
website so that they 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]. Sepio may also provide Clients with periodic
reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Clients should compare their custodian reports to
the reports provided by Sepio to ensure accuracy.
Private Fund Advisor Services
Investors in the Funds will receive statements no less than quarterly from the Administrator. These statements are
sent directly from the Administrator to the Investor. Sepio may also provide Investors with periodic reports
regarding the Fund’s holdings, allocations, and performance.
21
ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
A. Compensation Received by the Advisor
We 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, we may receive
non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
We have established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist us in managing Client account[s]. Access
to the Fidelity Institutional platform is provided at no charge to us. We receive access to software and related
support without cost because we render investment advisory services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity.
The software and related systems support may benefit us, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling our duties to its
Clients, we endeavor at all times to put the interests of our Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that
the receipt of economic benefits from the Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence
our recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or
services.
Additionally, we may receive the following benefits from Fidelity: free/discounted system licensing; receipt of
duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services
its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions
and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network
for Client order entry and account information.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to us by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and receive,
directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, we 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 us and shall not result in
any additional charge to the Client.
22
ITEM 15 – CUSTODY
In compliance with Federal securities laws, all Client assets are held by a “qualified custodian.” Clients are required
to engage the Custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct us to utilize that Custodian for the Client’s
security transactions. Clients should review statements provided by the Custodian and compare them to any
reports provided by us to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information
about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
We deemed to have custody over certain Client accounts and securities. Pursuant to securities regulations we
are required to engage an independent accounting firm to perform an annual surprise examination of those assets
and accounts over which we maintain custody. Any related opinions issued by an independent accounting firm are
filed with the SEC and are publicly available on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website
(http://adviserinfo.sec.gov).
Private Fund Advisor Services
We serve as the investment manager and general partner to the Funds. As such, we are deemed to have the
ability to manage the cash and securities within the Funds. We comply with Rule 206(4)-2(b) by having each Fund
audited at least annually by a PCAOB-registered and inspected accountant, and distribute audited financial
statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to limited partners
within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year of the Funds.
23
ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Our general practice is to maintain discretion over the selection and number 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 us. 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 us will be in accordance with each Client's
investment objectives and goals.
Where we enter into a non-discretionary agreement with a Client, we will ensure that we obtain consent (written
or verbal) from the Client prior to executing any trades. Non-discretionary arrangements may result in delays in
implementing investment decisions, as we are required to communicate with the Client and receive consent prior
to taking any action on the Client’s account.
24
ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
We accept proxy-voting responsibility on behalf of our Clients. We will cast proxy votes only in a matter we believes
is consistent with its fiduciary duty to Clients of the Advisor. We have engaged Institutional Shareholder Services,
Inc. (“ISS”), a third-party, independent proxy advisory firm, to provide us with research, analysis, and
recommendations on the various proxy proposals for the Client securities that we manage with the aim of
maximizing shareholder value. In engaging ISS for that purpose, we will review as necessary, ISS’s Proxy Paper
Guidelines for the current proxy voting season and will approve the summary of ISS’s positions on the voting
positions it recommends for the types of proposals most frequently presented, including: election and composition
of directors; financial reporting; compensation of management and directors; corporate governance structure and
anti-takeover measures; and environmental and social risks to operations. We are in agreement with the approach
ISS has set forth in its current Proxy Paper Guidelines for voting proxies, according to which it expects to vote
proxies consistent with ISS’s recommendations; however, certain issues may need to be considered on a case-
by-case basis due to the diverse and continually evolving nature of corporate governance issues.
A copy of Sepio Capital’s proxy voting policies and procedures, as well as specific information about how we
voted in the past (as applicable), is available upon request by calling the telephone number on the cover page of
this Brochure.
Client Direction of Voting
Although most of Clients for whom we vote proxies authorize us to vote in accordance with ISS’s proxy voting policy,
a Client may request that we vote its proxies in accordance with a different policy. We will seek to accommodate
such requests. In addition, a Client may direct us to vote its securities in a particular way on a particular proposal
and we will seek to do so, assuming timely receipt of the instruction.
Conflicts of Interest in the Voting Process
In situations where there may be a conflict of interest in the voting of proxies due to business or personal
relationships that we maintain with persons having an interest in the outcome of certain votes, we will take
appropriate steps, whether by following ISS’s third-party recommendation or otherwise, to ensure that proxy voting
decisions are made in what it believes is the best interest of its Clients and are not the product of any such conflict.
25
ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Neither Sepio, nor its management have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability
of the Advisor to meet all obligations to its Clients. We are not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this
Disclosure Brochure as we do not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months
or more in the future.

Item 4 – Services, Fees and Compensation
A. Advisory Services
We provide customized investment advisory services to high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates,
charitable organizations, businesses, institutional investors and pooled investment vehicles (each referred to as a
“Client”). This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided as a supplement our Form ADV Part 2A (“Disclosure
Brochure”). This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided along with the complete Disclosure Brochure to provide
full details of the business practices and fees when selecting us as an investment advisor.
As part of the investment advisory fees noted in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure, we
include normal securities transaction fees as part of the overall investment advisory fee. Securities regulations
often refer to this combined fee structure as a “Wrap Fee Program.” We sponsor the Sepio Wrap Fee Program.
The sole purpose of this Wrap Fee Program Brochure is to provide additional disclosure relating the combination
of securities transaction fees into the single “bundled” investment advisory fee. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure
references back to our Disclosure Brochure in which this Wrap Fee Program Brochure serves as an Appendix.
Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the Disclosure Brochure for details on our investment philosophy
and related services.
B. Program Costs
Advisory services provided by us are offered in a wrap fee structure whereby normal securities transaction costs,
custody fees, administrative fees and other fees and expenses (herein “Covered Costs”) are included in the overall
investment advisory fee paid to us. As the level of trading in a Client’s account[s] may vary from year to year, the
annual cost to the Client may be more or less than engaging for advisory services where the transactions costs
are borne separately by the Client. The cost of the Wrap Fee Program varies depending on services to be provided
to each Client, however, the Client is not charged more if there is higher trading activity in the Client’s account[s].
A Wrap Fee Program structure presents a conflict of interest as we have an incentive to limit trading or to utilize
securities that do not have transaction fees. To mitigate this conflict, we have entered into an asset- based pricing
arrangement with the Custodian whereby all custody and brokerage fees are a flat-basis point based on level of
assets at the Custodian, and not a per transaction fee. Please see Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the
Disclosure Brochure for complete details on fees.
C. Fees
Investment advisory fees are paid monthly, in advance of each month, pursuant to the terms of the investment
advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are typically based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior month. Investment advisory fees typically range from 0.50% to 2.00%,
depending on the size of the relationship, the complexity of the services to be provided, reporting requirements
and/or the investment strategies for the account[s].
The investment advisory fee in the first month of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first month. Fees may be negotiable at our sole discretion. Certain Clients may have a fixed annual fee
or fixed rate fee that differs from the range above. Additionally, certain legacy Clients may pay investment advisory
fees quarterly. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with us.
Investment advisory fees include financial planning and consulting services, unless separately engaged for financial
planning and consulting services. All securities held in accounts managed by us will be independently valued by
the Custodian. We will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities.
Investment advisory fees will be calculated by us or a delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the
Custodian. The amount due is calculated by applying the monthly rate (annual rate divided by the number of days
in the year, multiplied by the number of days in the month) to the total assets under management with us at the end
of the prior month. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting
deduction of the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees
as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients
provide written authorization permitting us to be paid directly from their accounts held by the Custodian as part of
the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
29
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on behalf of
the Client’s account[s] which are not included as part of the Wrap Fee Program. All fees paid to us for investment
advisory services or part of the Wrap Fee Program 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. Additionally,
account activity fees, such as electronic funds and wire transfers fees, certificate delivery fees, markups and
markdowns, bid-ask spreads, selling concessions, and other miscellaneous fees and expenses as outlined in the
account opening paperwork executed with the Custodian, are generally charged to the Client. Finally, any
applicable securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may be charged back to the Client.
We do not control nor share in any of these third-party fees. Clients are encouraged to review the fees charged by
the fund[s], third parties, and the Advisor to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please see Item
5.C. – Other Fees and Expenses of the Disclosure Brochure.
D. Compensation
We are the sponsor and a portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program. We receive investment advisory fees paid
by Clients for participating in the Wrap Fee Program and pays the Custodian for the costs associated with the
normal trading activity in the Client’s account[s].
Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients
We offer investment advisory services to high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, businesses, retirement plans, institutional investors and pooled investment vehicles. Please see
Item 7 – Types of Clients of the Disclosure Brochure for additional information.
Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation
Portfolio Manager Selection
We serves as the sponsor and portfolio manager for the Sepio’s Wrap Fee Program. We do not select third-party
advisors to manage the Wrap Fee Program. We also serve as the sponsor in conjunction with Independent
Managers for the Wrap Fee Program.
We may recommend that a Client utilize one or more unaffiliated investment managers or investment platforms
(collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio. We may also assist in
the development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. We will
perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Managers to ensure the
Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and
overall best interests.
Related Persons
Our personnel or affiliates serve as portfolio manager[s] for services under this Wrap Fee Program. We only
manage this wrap fee program and do not act as portfolio manager for any third-party wrap fee programs.
Supervised persons
Our Advisory Persons serve as portfolio managers for all accounts, including the services described in this Wrap
Fee Program Brochure. Details of the advisory services provided are included in Item 4 – Advisory Services of the
Disclosure Brochure.
30
Performance-Based Fees
We may receive a performance fee based upon specific gains obtained in the accounts of “Qualified Clients”
pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement. Only Qualified Clients with either $1,100,000 under
management with the Advisor or a net worth of $2,200,000 will be charged a performance-based fee.
Qualified Clients will be charged the investment advisory fee described in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation billed
monthly in advance.
For accounts subject or performance fees, at the end of each fiscal year, the capital appreciation in the Client’s
account[s] will be calculated by Sepio or its delegate. If the appreciation exceeds a predetermined benchmark or
absolute rate, the Client will be subjected to an additional performance-based fee rate.
In other circumstances, a performance fee engagement can be entered into to allow for the charging of an annual
percentage of capital appreciation of such Qualified Client’s Gross Assets, subject to certain terms, such as a high-
water mark or hurdle rate, of any gains in the Client account during the preceding year. The terms for the Client
specific performance-based fee engagement will be set forth in each Qualified Clients’ investment advisory
agreement.
The receipt of a performance-based fee by certain Clients results in a conflict of interest, where we have the
potential for higher compensation from a Client.
Methods of Analysis
We primarily employ fundamental analysis methods in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Please see
Item 8.A – Methods of Analysis of the Disclosure Brochure for details on our methods of analysis.
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. We 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.
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[s]. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. We 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 us 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.
We 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 our 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 have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short
time later.
31
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Private Collective Investment Vehicle Risks
We recommend that certain clients invest in privately placed collective investment vehicles (e.g., hedge funds,
private equity funds, etc.). The managers of these vehicles have broad discretion in selecting the investments.
There are few limitations on the types of securities or other financial instruments that may be trade and no
requirement to diversify. Hedge funds may trade on margin or otherwise leverage positions, thereby potentially
increasing the risk to the vehicle. In addition, because the vehicles are not registered as investment companies,
they are much less regulated than investment companies. There are numerous other risks in investing in these
securities. Clients should consult each fund’s private placement memorandum and/or other documents explaining
such risks prior to investing.
Leveraged and Inverse ETF Risks
Leveraged and Inverse ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors
who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results and intend to actively
monitor and manage their investments. Leveraged ETFs are not designed to track the underlying index over
periods longer than one trading day. The use of leverage increases the level of investment risk. Leverage will
magnify gains or losses on those investments. Inverse ETFs lose value when the underlying investments rise in
value. The investments have the risk of not meeting their stated daily investment objectives over a long-term period.
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.
Proxy Voting
We accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. We will cast proxy votes only in a manner we believe is
consistent with our fiduciary duty to Clients.. We have has engaged Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (“ISS”),
a third-party, independent proxy advisory firm, to provide us with research, analysis, and recommendations on the
various proxy proposals for the Client securities that we manage with the aim of maximizing shareholder value. In
engaging ISS for that purpose, we will review as necessary, ISS’s Proxy Paper Guidelines for the current proxy
voting season and will approve the summary of ISS’s positions on the voting positions it recommends for the types
of proposals most frequently presented, including: election and composition of directors; financial reporting;
compensation of management and directors; corporate governance structure and anti-takeover measures; and
environmental and social risks to operations. We agree with the approach ISS has set forth in its current Proxy
Paper Guidelines for voting proxies. Although we, based on its approval of the positions in the Proxy Paper
Guidelines, expect to vote proxies according to ISS’s recommendations, certain issues may need to be considered
on a case-by-case basis due to the diverse and continually evolving nature of corporate governance issues. If such
cases should arise, then we will devote appropriate time and resources to consider those issues.
Where we are responsible for voting proxies on behalf of a Client, the Client cannot direct our vote on a particular
solicitation. The Client, however, can revoke our authority to vote proxies. In situations where there may be a
conflict of interest in the voting of proxies due to business or personal relationships that we maintain with persons
having an interest in the outcome of certain votes, we will take appropriate steps, whether by following ISS’s third-
party recommendation or otherwise, to ensure that proxy voting decisions are made in what we believe is the best
interest of our Clients and are not the product of any such conflict.
32
Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
Clients participating in the Wrap Fee Program generally grant us the authority to discuss certain non- public
information with Independent Managers engaged to manage their account[s]. Depending upon the specific
arrangement, we are authorized to disclose various personal information including, without limitation: names,
phone numbers, addresses, social security numbers, driver’s license, tax identification numbers and account
numbers. We may also share certain information related to Clients’ financial positions and investment objectives
in an effort to ensure that the Independent Managers’ investment decisions remain aligned with its Clients’ best
interests. This information is communicated on an initial and ongoing basis, or as otherwise necessary to the
management of its Clients’ portfolios. Please also see our Privacy Policy (included after this Wrap Fee Program
Brochure).
Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
We are a full-service investment management advisory firm. Clients always have direct access to our Portfolio
Managers.. Clients can generally contact the Independent Managers managing their portfolios through us by
providing us with written request and identification of the questions or issues to be discussed with the Independent
Managers. After receiving the Client’s written request, we, in our sole discretion, may contact the Independent
Managers for the Client or arrange for the Independent Managers and the Client to communicate directly.

of the review policies and practices are provided in Item 13 – Review of Accounts of the Disclosure Brochure.
Other Compensation
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform – We have established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist
us in managing Client account[s]. Access to the Fidelity Institutional platform is provided at no charge to us. We
receive access to software and related support without cost because we render investment advisory services to
Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. The software and related systems support may benefit us, but not its Clients
directly. In fulfilling our duties to its Clients, we endeavor at all times to put the interests of our Clients first. Clients
should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from the Custodian creates a conflict of interest
since these benefits may influence our recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar
software, systems support, or services.
Additionally, we receive the following benefits from Fidelity: start-up capital; free/discounted system licensing;
33
receipt of duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively
services its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities
transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic
communication network for Client order entry and account information.
Please see Item 14 – Other Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure for details on additional compensation that
may be received by us or our Advisory Persons. Each Advisory Person’s Brochure Supplement provides details
on any outside business activities and the associated compensation.
Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to us by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and receive,
directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, we will compensate the Promoter with
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 us and shall not result in
any additional charge to the Client.
Financial Information
Neither Sepio nor its management have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of
the Advisor to meet all obligations to its Clients. The Advisor is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with
this Disclosure Brochure, as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be
performed six months or more in the future.
