Advisory Services Offered
JJP Capital Management, Inc. business includes investment advice and portfolio management related
to publicly traded securities. We make investment recommendations for clients based on information
the client supplies about his or her financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance. Our recommendations
may be limited if the client does not provide us with accurate and complete information. It is the
client’s responsibility to keep JJP Capital Management, Inc. informed of any changes to their
investment objectives or restrictions. The majority of our clients are individual’s trust and retirement
accounts, but we also manage assets for a few non for profit entities. JJP Capital Management, Inc.
customizes each portfolio to meet the client’s objectives and risk tolerances. Our Firm utilizes
individual common and preferred stocks, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate and municipal bonds as
the main components in our advisory service.
Clients may also request restrictions on the accounts, such as when a client needs to keep a
minimum level of cash in the account or does not want the adviser to buy or sell certain specific
securities or security types in the account.
JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not participate in wrap fee programs.
As of December 31, 201, JJP Capital Management, Inc. had $230,628,622 of regulatory assets under
management on a discretionary basis which includes related accounts. There are currently no non-
discretionary accounts under management.

Item 5 - Fees and
Compensation.

Fee Schedule and Billing Method
Our Firm charges investment advisory fees based on assets under management at the end of each
calendar year. That figure is an aggregate of all related family accounts value at that time. The fee
schedule is as follows:
Less than $100,000 in total funds under management = 1%
Above $100,000 but less than$1.5 Million in total funds under management = .75%
Above $1.5 million but less than $5 million in total funds under management = .5%
Above $5 million in total funds under management = .25%
Fees are adjusted annually, payable quarterly after services are performed (in arrears) and are non-
negotiable.
Payment of fees can be debited (per client authorization) from the client’s account or can be direct
billed on a quarterly basis (April, July, October, and January).
From time to time, JJP Capital Management, Inc. may provide financial consulting services to clients
on an hourly basis at a rate not to exceed $200 per hour, billed in arrears.
Other Fees and Expenses
The fees described above do not include custodian or brokerage fees. Clients pay all brokerage
transaction charges (typically 1.25%), stock transfer fees, and/or other similar charges incurred
in connection with transactions in accounts, from the assets in the account. These charges are in
addition to the fees client pays to JJP Capital Management, Inc.
Termination JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not collect client fees in advance or require prepayment of fees
and therefore, at termination of a client relationship, no fees are refunded. In addition, JJP Capital
Management, Inc. does not charge a termination fee when accounts are terminated.
CONTRACTS
JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not require written (verbal only) contracts between itself and the
clients. In addition, no verbal (or written) contracts will be assigned without proper written consent
by the client (non-assignment rights).
Other Compensation
JJP Capital Management, Inc. or any of it employees, does not receive or accept compensation for
the sale of securities or other investment products. It is our belief, that there would be a conflict
of interest and would incentivize the employee to recommend products based on compensation
received, rather than on a client’s needs or best interests. Clients have the option to purchase
investment products that our Firm recommends from other brokers or agents not affiliated with
JJP Capital Management, Inc.

JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not charge performance-based fees or other fees based on a
share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client. This would create conflicts
of interest by placing our firm’s profits ahead of our client’s best interests. It would also encourage
JJP Capital Management, Inc. to take greater risk in the client’s account(s).

OF LOSS
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
JJP Capital Management, Inc. general investment strategy is to seek real capital growth
proportionate with the level of risk the client is willing to take. JJP Capital Management, Inc.
treats each client uniquely. JJP Capital Management, Inc. meets with clients to understand their
investment objectives and financial goals. The firm utilize fundamental analysis in evaluating
individual securities and portfolio’s in total as to their quality, risk, and asset mix. JJP Capital
Management, Inc. does not try to time the market, but believes that time in the market holding a
mix of high quality securities for an extended period of time is preferable.
JJP Capital Management, Inc. will recommend broker/dealer/custodian based on the client’s
investment objectives, financial situation, and their specific circumstance. We assist and advise the
client to determine the asset allocation based on the client’s investment objectives. We then
implement this allocation. We provide ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the overall
relationship with the client.
Investing Involves Risk
Investing in securities involves risk of loss, and clients should be prepared to bear that risk. Past
performance does not guarantee future returns. Like any investment strategy, investing in
portfolios of stocks and bonds involves material risks. Such material risks are described in
further detail below:
Investing for the long term means that a client’s account will be exposed to short-term fluctuations
in the market and the behavioral impulse to make trading decisions based on such short-term
market fluctuations. JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not condone short-term trading in an
attempt to “time” the market, and instead coaches clients to remain committed to their financial
goals. However, investing for the long term can expose clients to risks borne out of changes to
interest rates, inflation, general economic conditions, market cycles, geopolitical shifts, and
regulatory changes.
Investing in stocks and bonds does not guarantee a return on investment, and shareholders may
lose the principal that they’ve invested into a security. The loss of principal in stocks and bonds
can occur for many reasons including the risk of bankruptcy, inflation risk, sovereignty risk, secular
trends and government regulations. JJP Capital Management, Inc. constantly evaluates these
risks to determine a course of action to avoid unnecessary losses to client accounts.

TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
Code of Ethics
JJP Capital Management, Inc. has adopted a code of ethics that will be provided to any client or
prospective client upon request. JJP Capital Management, Inc.’s code of ethics describes the
standards of business conduct that JJP Capital Management, Inc. requires of its supervised
persons, which is reflective of JJP Capital Management, Inc.’s fiduciary obligations to act in the best
interests of its clients. The code of ethics also includes sections related to compliance with
securities laws, reporting of personal securities transactions and holdings, reporting of violations
of the code of ethics to JJP Capital Management, Inc.’s Chief Compliance Officer, pre-approval of
certain investments by access persons, and the distribution of the code of ethics and any
amendments to all supervised persons followed by a written acknowledgement of their receipt.
Neither JJP Capital Management, Inc. nor any of its related persons recommends to clients, or
buys or sells for client accounts, securities in which JJP Capital Management, Inc. or any of its
related persons have a material financial interest.
From time to time, JJP Capital Management, Inc. or its related persons will invest (buy or sell)
in the same securities (or related securities) that JJP Capital Management, Inc. or a related
person recommends to clients. This has the potential to create a conflict of interest because it
affords our firm or its related persons the opportunity to profit from the investment
recommendations made to clients. JJP Capital Management, Inc. policies and procedures and
code of ethics address this potential conflict of interest by prohibiting such trading by JJP
Capital Management, Inc. or its related persons if it would be to the detriment of any client
and by monitoring for compliance through the reporting and review of personal securities
transactions. In all instances JJP Capital Management, Inc. will act in the best interests of its
clients.

JJP Capital Management, Inc does not maintain custody of client assets. Client assets must be
maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker-dealer or bank. Depending
on the service, we require that clients use Morgan Stanley (MSSB) or Oppenheimer(OPCO) as
custodian. Collectively, these two custodians are referred to as the “Custodians”). However, since
the Firm has written authorization to debit advisory fees from client accounts, then the Firm does
technically have custody of client assets
JJP Capital Management, Inc. is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with the
Custodians. The Custodians will hold client assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell
securities when JJP Capital Management, Inc. and/or the client instruct them to. If the client does
not wish to place their assets with MSSB or OPCO, then we cannot manage the client account.
How We Select Brokers/Custodians
JJP Capital Management, Inc. seeks to recommend a custodian/broker that will hold client assets
and execute transactions on terms that are, overall, most advantageous when compared with other
available providers and their services. JJP Capital Management, Inc. considers a wide range of
factors, including:
• Capability to facilitate timely transfers and payments to and from accounts.
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions.
• Quality of services.
• Competitiveness of the price of those services and willingness to negotiate the prices.
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability.
• Prior service to us and other clients.
Brokerage and Custody Costs
The Custodians typically charge separate fees directly to clients, which can include fees for custody,
and brokerage commissions. Nonetheless, JJP Capital Management, Inc. has determined that having
the Custodian execute trades is consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of client trades.
Best execution means the most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors,
including those listed above (see “How we select brokers/custodians”).
Research and Soft Dollar Benefits JJP Capital Management, Inc. receives research reports, performance reports and other miscellaneous
services from the Custodians (MSSB & OPCO) in connection with client commissions in the ordinary
course of business which are defined as soft dollar benefits. These benefits received by JJP Capital
Management, Inc. does not require the Firm or any of its clients, to pay a minimum dollar amount of
commissions annually to the custodian, nor does it create a conflict or incentive in obtaining best
execution of the trades. The benefits received by JJP Capital Management, Inc. from the Custodian
would be provided anyway due to the large related accounts of the principals and their families. The
negotiated commissions charged by the Custodians would not be reduced if said benefits were
eliminated. All benefits are therefore distributed evenly to all clients and would not be proportionate
to the soft dollar credits a specific account generates. Furthermore, JJP Capital Management, Inc. and
its related accounts pay the same commission rates as our clients.
Specific benefits include daily research reports provided by the Custodians (emailed every weekday),
special reports on individual companies, sectors, and countries. In addition, semi-annual
performance reports (June 30th / December 31) calculated by the custodian based on industry
guidelines.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not recommend a broker/dealer, custodian, to a client based on
referrals from a broker/dealer, custodian or other third parties. JJP Capital Management, Inc. does
not accept monetary gifts, sports tickets, trips or other remunerations from any broker/dealer or
custodian in exchange for referrals. We feel this would be a conflict of interest for our Firm or any of
its related people to select a custodian based receiving client referrals or other remuneration instead
of most favorable execution.
Directed Brokerage
JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not permit directed brokerage from the clients. Our Firm does not
permit this type of practice because it might not achieve best execution and may also result in the
client paying higher commissions and fees.
Aggregation Of Trades (Block Trading) Whenever possible, JJP Capital Management, Inc. aggregates the purchase or sale of securities (block
trade) in an attempt to achieve equal pricing across the board (all clients pay the same price). If done
individually, client’s transactions would vary and result in inequality in pricing.

Account Reviews
JJP Capital Management, Inc. seeks to meet client objectives by monitoring client accounts at least
monthly. Either of our advisors (Mr. Banks or Mr. Pascucci) will be responsible for reviewing the
portfolios. Factors that may trigger a client meeting may include a change in the client’s
investment objectives or financial circumstances. Clients may choose to meet in person, by
telephone, or in writing. Other factors that may trigger a client meeting include, but are not limited
to, material developments in market conditions, material geopolitical events, and changes to a
client’s personal or financial situation (the birth of a child, preparing for a home purchase, plans to
attend higher education, a job transition, impending retirement, death or disability among family
members, etc.)
Account Reporting
Each client receives a written statement from the custodian (typically monthly). The written
statement includes an accounting of all holdings and transactions in the account for the
reporting period. Custodians would also be responsible for providing clients with trade
confirmations when securities or bought or sold within a client’s account.
please register to get more info
JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not compensate our employees or related persons for client
referrals. JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not compensate unrelated persons or firms for referrals
of clients. In the ordinary course of business, JJP Capital Management, Inc. may make referrals to
other professionals (banks, law firms, accounting firms) based on the client’s needs but will not
accept monetary remuneration, economic benefit or client referrals back to our firm. We feel this
would be a conflict of interest and would not be in the client’s best interest.
please register to get more info
JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not act as the qualified custodian for any client. The accounts are
maintained in the name of the client and assigned to one of our designated custodians (MSSB &
OPCO) in separately managed accounts. The custodian, typically monthly, but at least quarterly,
sends account statements directly to the client and duplicates to our Firm. Client’s should carefully
review those statements promptly and contact JJP Capital Management, Inc. or the designated
custodians for additional clarification. However, since our Firm calculates the advisory fee which
you (may) authorize to be debited from MSSB or OPCO, we technically are deemed to have custody
of your funds.
please register to get more info
JJP Capital Management, Inc. requires discretionary trading authority on all client accounts. Our firm
will not attempt to manage client assets without discretionary authority. A client may restrict the
purchase or sale of certain companies or industries on our firm. But, JJP Capital Management, Inc.
cannot contact each and every client before making trades within their accounts. This would create
inefficiencies and bottlenecks that would impede our management. JJP Capital Management, Inc.
will not assume or be deemed to have discretionary authority until after client executes (signs)
discretionary power of attorney. Upon the death of the client(s), discretionary authority will cease
until the beneficiary, successor trustee or other legal agent executes a new discretionary trading
authorization.
please register to get more info
Proxy Voting
JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not have (or accept) the authority to vote client securities.
However, clients may call us if they have questions about a particular solicitation. Our firm will not
be deemed to have proxy voting authority solely as a result of providing advice or information
about a particular proxy vote to a client. Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations
directly from their custodian or a transfer agent.
please register to get more info
Registered investment advisers are required in this item to provide clients with certain financial
information or disclosures about the firm’s financial condition if it accepts pre-payment of
investment advisory fees. Since JJP Capital Management, Inc. does not require the prepayment of
fees, disclosure of our firm’s financial information is not applicable. Fees are charged in arrears,
and only after services are performed. There are no written (verbal only) contracts or
termination fees. These verbal contracts have a non-assignment clause meaning that JJP Capital
Management, Inc. cannot assign or reassign the management of your accounts to another
advisor without prior written consent by you (the client).
