$1,000,000 to $3,000,000 0.75%
$3,000,001 and above Negotiable
For purposes of determining value, securities and other instruments traded on a market for which actual
transaction prices are publicly reported are valued at the last reported sale price on the principal market in
which they are traded. In special circumstances, fees rates may be negotiable.
The fee includes the time and activities necessary to work with your attorney and/or accountant in reaching
agreement on solutions, as well as assisting them in implementation of all appropriate documents. We are
not responsible for attorney or account fees charged to you as a result of the above activities.
Compensation for our services will be calculated in accordance with what is set in the clients agreement.
We may modify the terms of any agreement by written changes submitted to the client for signature. All
Investment Advisors are required to disclose to their clients that lower fees for comparable services may be
available from other sources.
Financial Planning Fees
Fees for financial planning services are based on a rate of $200.00 per hour. Special arrangements can be
made for clients wishing on-going financial planning services.
5b: Fee Payments Options Investment Management Fees
Sanchez & Zures, as written and accepted in our contracts with our clients, requires that our fees are paid
from your account by the custodian when we submit an invoice to them. If there is insufficient cash in your
account, securities may be sold. In addition to our fees, there may be custodial, mutual fund or similar third
party management fees and charges. At the same time we send an invoice to the custodian, we will also
send an invoice to the client, detailing our fees and how they were derived.
Financial Planning Fees
All financial planning fees are due at time of service.
5c: Third Party Fees You are responsible for the payment of all third party fees (i.e. custodian fees, mutual fund fees, transaction
fees, etc.). Those fees are separate and distinct from the fees we charge.
All brokerage commissions, stock transfer fees, and other similar charges incurred in connection with
transactions for the account will be paid out of the assets in the account and are in addition to the
investment management fees paid to us. While we take measures to ensure the fees charged are accurate,
it is your responsibility to ensure the amount of fee charged is correct. In addition to statements sent by
us, you will receive statements directly from these brokers, custodians or mutual funds or other investments
you hold. We strongly urge you to compare these statements for accuracy.
ADV PART 2 A BROCHURE PAGE 6 OF 16
5d: Fee Payments Investment Management Fees
Our fees are paid monthly in arrears, with payment due within 10 days from the date of the invoice. Our
fee is determined by taking the percentage rate we charge, times the net market value of the account,
divided by twelve (the numbers of months in the year.) The net market value is the sum of the values of all
assets in the account adjusted by any margin debit.
Financial Planning Fees
Hourly financial planning fees are paid upon completion of the project. All financial planning invoices are
due within thirty (30) days of invoice. Special arrangements may be made with Clients wishing ongoing
financial planning services.
5.d.1: Termination Either Sanchez & Zures or our clients can terminate our agreement upon receipt of written notice to
the other party, to include written agreement to changes by the client.
When an agreement is terminated, we will refund any pre-paid or unearned fees based on the number
of days our services were performed. Refunds will be made within 30 calendar days of the effective
date of termination.
When an agreement is terminated, all assets may need to be transferred from the current custodian.
You will be responsible for paying all fees including full monthly custodial administrative fees, account
closure fees, mutual fund fees and all trading costs due to the termination. Custodian may assess
additional fees for transfer of illiquid investments. If there is insufficient cash in the account, the
liquidation of some securities may be used to pay the fees. Prior to termination of an agreement, we
can provide a good-faith estimate of these fees.
5e: Other Investment Compensation Sanchez & Zures does not accept commission for the sale of securities or other investment products,

8a: Analysis Sanchez & Zures uses multiple sources of information to obtain analysis and strategies. They include sources
such as financial newspapers, research prepared by others, corporate rating services, annual reports,
prospectuses, company press releases and filings with the SEC.
8b: Investment Strategies Sanchez & Zures utilizes and believes in the long term benefits of a passive investment philosophy. Research
on modern portfolio theory has proven that a significant portion of a portfolio’s return is based on the asset
allocation, not security selection or market timing. Another way of describing our investment style is an
ADV PART 2 A BROCHURE PAGE 7 OF 16
“indexed” approach. Primarily we use exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to represent the asset classes within
our portfolios. In particular situations, mutual funds, individual stocks, and individual bonds are sometimes
used as well.
Once the client has shared their goals and expectations for the portfolio, a proposed allocation is given to
the client. It is important for the client to have an understanding of the risks associated with investing.
Clients are provided with a monthly performance reports showing a percentage gain or loss for the current
year. Clients are also provided monthly brokerage statements from the custodian listing all securities being
held and value of the portfolio.
Past performance is no guarantee for future results and clients are made aware that loss of principle is
possible.
8c: Risk of Loss All investments include a risk of loss. In addition, as recent global and domestic economic events have
indicated, performance of any investment is not guaranteed. As a result, there is a risk of loss of the assets
we manage that may be out of our control. We use our best efforts and expertise to manage your assets.
However, we cannot guarantee any level of performance or that you will not experience financial loss.
Sanchez & Zures will use our best judgment and good faith efforts in rendering services to you. We cannot
warrant or guarantee any particular level of account performance, or that the account will be profitable
over time. Not every investment decision or recommendation made by us will be profitable. You assume
all market risk involved in the investment of account assets under the Investment Advisory Agreement and
understand that investment decisions made for this account are subject to various market, currency,
economic, political and business risks. Except as may otherwise be provided by law, we will not be liable to
you for (a) any loss that you may suffer by reason of any investment decision made or other action taken or
omitted in good faith by Sanchez & Zures with that degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence under the
circumstances that a prudent person acting in a fiduciary capacity would use; (b) any loss arising from our
adherence to your instructions; or (c) any unauthorized act or failure to act by a custodian of your account.
Nothing in this document shall relieve us from any responsibility or liability we may have under state or
federal statutes.

have when providing our advisory services to you. This Code of Ethics is designed to ensure we meet our
fiduciary obligation to you and to stress the importance of a culture of compliance within our firm. An
additional benefit of our Code of Ethics is to detect and prevent violations of securities laws, including our
obligations we owe to you.
Sanchez & Zures’ Code of Ethics is comprehensive, is distributed to each employee at the time of hire, and
annually thereafter (if there are changes). We also supplement the Code of Ethics with annual training and
on-going monitoring of employee activity. A complete copy of our Code of Ethics will be supplied to you,
free of charge, if you request it.
Sanchez & Zures’ Code of Ethics includes the following:
▪ Requirements related to the confidentiality of your personal, business and financial information
▪ Prohibitions on insider trading (if we are in possession of material, non-public information)
▪ Reporting of gifts and business entertainment
▪ Pre-clearance of employee and firm transactions
▪ Reporting (on an on-going and quarterly basis) all personal securities transactions (what we call
“reportable securities” as mandated by regulation)
▪ On an annual basis, we require all employees to re-certify to our Code of Ethics, identify members
of their household and any account to which they have a beneficial ownership (they “own” the
account or have “authority” over the account), securities held in certificate form and all securities
they own at that time
11b, c & d: Participation or Interest in Client Transactions Sanchez & Zures, or its employees, may buy and sell some of the same securities for our own accounts that
we buy and sell for our clients. We will always buy or sell from our clients’ accounts before we buy or sell
from our accounts. In some cases Sanchez & Zures, or its employees, may buy or sell securities for our own
accounts and not for clients’ accounts, as it may not meet the objectives or plans for the client.
Sanchez & Zures will always maintain full disclosure with our clients so that you can make informed
decisions. We will always evaluate our activity from the view of our clients to ensure that any and all
required disclosures are made. For example, we will disclose anything that would cause you to be unfairly
influenced to make any decision regarding actions or inactions in your account.

considerations. And while you are not required to effect transactions through any broker-dealer
recommended by us, we feel we have made our selections based on a totality of benefits they offer.
Sanchez & Zures may purchase software, tools, training programs or seminar services from our broker-
dealer. Additionally, broker-dealers may provide services, tools or other non-financial benefits to us as a
benefit for using the broker-dealer’s services. However, we endeavor at all times to put the interests of our
clients first. You should be aware, however, that the receipt of the types of benefits discussed above can
create a potential conflict of interest by influencing our choice of a broker-dealer.

following restrictions in order to ensure its fiduciary responsibilities:
▪ Sanchez & Zures adheres to our Code of Ethics as outlined in Item 11 above.

account with purchases and sales and other transactions in the same or similar securities or instruments for
other clients of ours. When we aggregate transactions, the actual prices applicable to the aggregated
transactions will be averaged, and the account will be deemed to have purchased or sold its proportionate
share of the securities or instruments involved at the average price obtained. Stock exchange regulations
may in certain instances prevent the executing broker-dealer from delivering to the account a confirmation
slip with respect to its participation in the aggregated transaction and, in such event, we will advise you in
writing of any purchase or disposition of instruments for the account with respect to any such aggregated
transaction. We will direct that confirmations of any transactions effected for the account will be sent, in
conformity with applicable law, to you.

CPA: (Certified Public Accountant)
CPAs are licensed and regulated by their state boards of accountancy. While state laws and regulations
vary, the education, experience and testing requirements for licensure as a CPA generally include
minimum college education (typically 150 credit hours with at least a baccalaureate degree and a
concentration in accounting), minimum experience levels (most states require at least one year of
experience providing services that involve the use of accounting, attest, compilation, management
advisory, financial advisory, tax or consulting skills, all of which must be achieved under the supervision
of or verification by a CPA), and successful passage of the Uniform CPA Examination.
In order to maintain a CPA license, states generally require the completion of 40 hours of continuing
professional education (CPE) each year (or 80 hours over a two year period or 120 hours over a three
year period). Additionally, all American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) members are
required to follow a rigorous Code of Professional Conduct which requires that they act with integrity,
objectivity, due care, competence, fully disclose any conflicts of interest (and obtain client consent if a
conflict exists), maintain client confidentiality, disclose to the client any commission or referral fees,
and serve the public interest when providing financial services. The vast majority of state boards of
accountancy have adopted the AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct within their state accountancy
laws or have created their own.
