FINHABITS ADVISORS, LLC


Finhabits Advisors, LLC (“Finhabits”, or “Adviser”) is an online investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in July 2015. The Adviser is a privately held limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware in June 2015. Additional information about Finhabits’ products, structure and directors is provided on Part 1 of Finhabits’ Form ADV which is available online at http://www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. We encourage clients to visit our website www.finhabits.com for additional information. Wrap Fee Program Finhabits offers a wrap fee program (“Program”) with professional investment advisory services through an online web-based application to individuals and high-net worth individuals. Finhabits’ goal is to provide its clients with an investment management service where they can receive investment advice to help them develop and execute plans that are designed to build and preserve their wealth, and to begin saving and investing for their retirement. Finhabits’ advice is based on the financial profile, age, time horizon, and investment experience of each client. Finhabits will interact with clients using a software application developed by its parent company, Finhabits Inc. Through our website or mobile app (“Sites”), each client enters data and creates a financial goal (“Goal”), which outlines the client’s contributions, timeline and the proposed investment strategy managed by Finhabits. Once the Goal is confirmed and the proposed investment strategy is selected, Finhabits automatically implements the investment strategy and periodically rebalances each client’s portfolio in order to maintain an efficient portfolio in accordance to the Goal. Each client needs to update their personal data through the Sites if their objective, risk tolerance, or life events change. Finhabits will check quarterly with each client to confirm their data remains valid. Although Finhabits requests and captures a wider range of information from clients, the recommendation of the investment strategy is not currently considering that wider range of information.

Finhabits’ unique automated investment service is based on modern portfolio theory that makes it possible for anyone to access state-of-the-art portfolio management. Each individualized portfolio is designed to be consistent with the client’s investment objectives and risk tolerances. The investments in the portfolio will primarily consist of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and mutual funds (collectively “Funds”). Clients are not able to change the underlying Funds that comprise each portfolio. Using our technology, we can create an investment plan and manage a client’s portfolio by seeking to identify:
• the optimal asset classes in which to invest;
• the most efficient Funds to represent each of those asset classes;
• the ideal mix of asset classes based on the client’s specific risk tolerance; and,
• the most appropriate time to rebalance the client’s portfolio to maintain intended risk tolerance. Each client’s Program account (“Account”) will be held in the client’s name at an independent custodian, and not with us. All Accounts managed through the Sites are required to use Apex Clearing Corporation as the independent custodian (“Custodian”). All clients will receive our Advisory Agreement describing the discretionary authority that a client grants to Finhabits, as well as the services they will receive, fees they will be charged, and the conditions of the relationship. Finhabits does not offer tax, accounting or legal advice. Fees and Compensation Finhabits’ clients pay an annual wrap fee of 0.50% for an Account balance of $2,500 or more. Accounts under $2,500 are subject to a minimum subscription of $1 per month for personal use of the Finhabits’ web-based service. Currently, Finhabits waives its minimum subscription fee for Accounts that participate in the Washington’s Small Business Retirement Marketplace (“Marketplace”) and have a balance under $1,500. The wrap fee includes advisory services, execution, clearance, custody, and account reporting. The fee schedule is as follows:
Account Balance Fee
Under $2,500 $1 minimum subscription per month $2,500 or more 0.50% wrap fee per year / charged monthly in arrears

The fees shown above are not negotiable.

For those Accounts with a balance of under $2,500, clients will authorize Finhabits and the Custodian to directly debit the $1 minimum subscription from the client’s funding account to pay us. This is a subscription fee and it is a charge drawn against the client’s funding account. In the event we cannot deduct the $1 minimum subscription from a client’s funding account, we reserve the right to withdraw the outstanding minimum subscription due from their Finhabits Account held at the Custodian and/or terminate access to the Program. Clients acknowledge that the $1 minimum subscription per month for Accounts with a balance of less than $2,500 may equate to a significant fee on a percentage basis, depending on the amount the client has invested. This may potentially be a greater fee than a client would pay to other investment advisers which permit a client to invest such an amount. For Accounts with a balance of $2,500 or more, the wrap fee is calculated based on the client’s average daily Account balance and charged monthly in arrears. Custodian will deduct the wrap fee directly from the client’s Account pursuant to applicable custody rules. There are other fees that clients may be charged by other parties. The wrap fee or service fee covers all trade and advisory charges for each Account as part of the Program. However, our fees do not include other related costs and expenses. The Funds recommended by Finhabits have fees that are distinct and separate from the fees paid to Finhabits for its wrap fee program. Clients may also incur certain charges imposed by the Custodian and other third parties, as listed on Schedule A. These include transfer taxes, wire transfers, electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Finhabits client’s might find that the fees from the advisory and other services that comprise the Program may cause a higher advisory cost than if a client purchased the Funds directly.

Clients should be aware that this wrap account may cost more or less than someone would pay to have all of the services provided separately to them. Factors that would bear upon the cost of this account in relation to receiving the services separately include the number of different service providers needed to achieve the results, the need for increased coordination and management, and the execution capabilities, speed, and efficiency of the various service providers.

Either party may terminate the advisory relationship through our web-based application at any time. If a client wishes to terminate the relationship via email, he or she can contact us at [email protected]. The termination will take effect promptly upon our receipt of the e-mail from the client or the notification from the web-based application. Finhabits may terminate a client’s access to our online service if we believe a client is in breach of the Finhabits Terms of Use and/or Advisory Agreement. Finhabits will prorate the wrap fee if we or a client terminates access to the Program intra-monthly. Subscription fees are not prorated if a client terminates access to the Program intra-monthly.

When an Account is terminated, the securities in the Account will be sold and the cash will be returned to the client’s designated bank account within 5 business days.

Finhabits reserves the right to waive any fees associated with the Program at its sole discretion. please register to get more info
