Quadrant Capital Management, LLC ("Quadrant") is a SEC-registered investment adviser with its principal place of
business located at 100 Passaic Avenue, Suite 301, Fairfield, New Jersey. We began conducting business in 2001.
Effective October 31, 2017, Quadrant is principally owned by Peapack-Gladstone Bank (“PGB”), which is owned by
Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation.
We offer the following advisory services that are tailored to your individual needs:
Investment Supervisory Services ("ISS") Individual Portfolio ManagementOur firm provides continuous advice to you regarding the investment of your funds based on your individual
needs. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on a client's particular circumstances
are established, we develop your personal investment strategy and create and manage a portfolio based on that
strategy. During our data-gathering process, we identify your resources, determine your individual objectives,
time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As part of this process, we also review and discuss your prior
investment history.
Generally, we manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary basis, although periodically we may manage
them on a non-discretionary basis. Account supervision is guided by your stated objectives (e.g., capital
appreciation, current income and capital preservation), as well as tax considerations.
While we have discretion over your portfolio, from time to time, you may impose reasonable restrictions on
investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors.
Our investments are not limited to any specific product or service offered. In connection with providing our
investment supervisory services to you, we utilize the following types of securities:
• Exchange-listed securities
• Securities traded over-the-counter
• Foreign issuers
• Warrants
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Commercial paper
• Certificates of deposit
• Municipal securities
• Mutual fund shares
• United States governmental securities
• Options contracts on securities
• Interests in publicly traded partnerships investing in oil and gas interests
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be implemented/
recommended when consistent with your stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
Financial PlanningWe provide financial planning services. Financial planning is the development and implementation of a coordinated
plan for the achievement of your overall financial goals and objectives. It is a deliberate and continuing process by
which a sufficient amount of capital is accumulated and conserved and adequate levels of income are attained to
PART 2A OF FORM ADV: QUADRANT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BROCHUREPAGE 5
accomplish such goals. If you opt for this service, you will receive a written plan which provides you with a detailed
financial plan designed to help you achieve your financial goals and objectives.
In general, financial planning involves an integrated analysis of five primary planning issues:
1. Cash Flow and Insurance Planning
2. Investment Planning
3. Income Tax Planning
4. Retirement Planning
5. Estate Planning
We adhere to a six-step financial planning process:
1. Establish financial goals and objectives
2. Gather data
3. Process and analyze information
4. Recommend a comprehensive plan
5. Implement the plan
6. Monitor the plan
We gather required information through in-depth personal interviews with you. Information gathered includes your
current financial status, tax status, future goals, returns objectives and attitudes towards risk. We carefully review
documents supplied by you, including a questionnaire completed by you, and prepare a written plan. Should you
choose to implement the recommendations contained in the plan, we suggest you work closely with your attorney,
accountant, insurance agent, and/or other professional. Implementation of financial plan recommendations is
entirely at your discretion. We also provide general non-securities advice on topics that may include tax and
budgetary planning, estate planning and business planning.
Our financial planning analysis is also used in determining an investment strategy, including strategic asset allocation.
Typically the financial plan is presented to you within six months of the contract date, provided that all information
needed to prepare the financial plan has been promptly provided. With regards to the actual reports we provide
to you, the analysis is based on information that you provide. The assumptions and projections in the plan are
estimates and are meant to serve solely as a guideline. If any of the assumptions used in the plan are not realized,
then the projections will be inaccurate. The plan does not offer legal or tax advice and should be reviewed by
your legal and tax advisors before any action is taken. Past investment performance is not indicative of future
investment results. Financial Planning recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service. All
recommendations are of a generic nature.
Most importantly, we advise you that while we provide financial planning services, we are not attorneys,
accountants, or licensed insurance agents. You are advised to meet with your attorney, accountant, licensed
insurance agent, or any other relevant professional, to discuss any suggestions we offer, to obtain legal and tax
advice, and to have any necessary legal documents drafted or amended, including the preparation of your tax
return. All of our recommendations are intended for discussion purposes only and cannot be the basis of any
specific planning decisions. To the extent requested by a client, Quadrant may recommend the services of other
professionals for certain non-investment implementation purposes (i.e. attorneys, insurance agents, etc.). The
client is under no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional. The client retains
absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation
made by Quadrant.
Amount Of Managed AssetsAs of 12/31/19, we are actively managing $597,492,592.73 of clients’ assets on a discretionary basis, plus

Investment Supervisory Services ("ISS") Individual Portfolio Management FeesThe annualized fee for Investment Supervisory Services is charged as a percentage of assets under management,
according to the following schedule:
Assets Under Management Annual Fee First $0 - $2,000,000 1.00%
Next $2,000,001 - $5,000,000 0.75%
Over $5,000,000 0.50%
Our fees are deducted from your account by your custodian in arrears at the beginning of each calendar quarter
based upon the market value, or fair market value in the absence of market value, of your account at the end of the
previous quarter. Fees will be debited from the account in accordance with your written authorization, and may not
be paid directly to us.
A minimum of $1,000,000 of assets under management is required for this service. This account size may be
negotiable under certain circumstances, including but not limited to; anticipated future additional assets, related
accounts, portfolio style and account composition. We group your accounts for the purposes of achieving the
minimum account size and determining the annualized fee. Fees are debited on a pro rata basis, unless you specify
a particular account(s) that you would like to have them debited from.
Limited Negotiability of Advisory Fees: Although we have established the aforementioned fee schedule, we retain
the discretion to negotiate alternative fees on a client-by-client basis. Client facts, circumstances and needs are
considered in determining the fee schedule. These include the complexity of the client, assets to be placed under
management, anticipated future additional assets; related accounts; portfolio style, account composition, reports,
among other factors. The specific annual fee schedule is identified in the contract between the adviser and each
client.
Discounts, not generally available to our advisory clients, may be offered to family members and friends of
employees of our firm.
Financial Planning FeesWe do not charge a separate fee for financial planning services, as any such services are available as part of the
above mentioned Investment Supervisory Services.
Should an Investment Supervisory Services client elect not to receive our financial planning services, we will not
discount or refund any portion of its Individual Portfolio Management fee schedule.
General InformationTermination of the Advisory Relationship: A client agreement may be canceled at any time, by either party, for
any reason, upon receipt of 30 days written notice. In the event of you terminate our relationship, we will have no
further obligation to you from and after the effective date of such termination.
Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and
expenses charged by mutual funds and/or exchanged traded fund ("ETF") to their shareholders. These fees and
expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund
PART 2A OF FORM ADV: QUADRANT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BROCHUREPAGE 7
expenses, and a possible distribution fee. You could invest in a mutual fund directly, without our services. In that
case, you would not receive the services provided by our firm which are designed, among other things, to assist
the client in determining which mutual fund or funds are consistent with your financial condition and investment
objectives. Accordingly, you should review both the fees charged by the funds and our fees to fully understand the
total amount of fees to be paid by you as well as the other expenses and costs that you will incur, some of which
are also described in this Brochure and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided.
Additional Fees and Expenses: In addition to our advisory fees, you are also responsible for the fees and
expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers, including, but not limited to, any transaction
charges imposed by a broker dealer with which an independent investment manager effects transactions for your
account(s). Please refer to the "Brokerage Practices" section (Item 12) of this Brochure for additional information.
Rollovers of Qualified Retirement Plans, 401(k), 403(b), Etc.: In addition to the other information provided in this
Brochure, the following information is also relevant to clients with assets within a qualified plan. As a client of
our firm, you may seek a recommendation as to whether or not you should rollover a qualified plan (e.g. 401(k) or
403(b)) to an account under our management or leave the funds in your current plan. Since our fees are charged as
a percentage of assets under management, in accordance with our stated annual fee schedule, a recommendation
to rollover these funds to us could present a potential conflict of interest in that we have an economic incentive to
have you transfer those plan assets into an account that we will manage. Accordingly, you should consider both
our fees and the fees and expenses of your current retirement plan when making your decision.
When making any recommendation, we will always seek to put your interests first consistent with our fiduciary
duty as a Registered Investment Advisor. We will supervise the activities of our personnel to reasonably ensure
that these potential conflicts of interest do not impair the judgment of our personnel about what is in your interest.
Further, our advice to you to rollover your plan assets into an account under our management will be based on
your financial situation and investment recommendations. No client is under any obligation to roll over retirement
plan assets to an account managed by Quadrant. Quadrant’s Chief Compliance Officer, Karen J. Alvarado,
remains available to address any questions that a client may have regarding its prospective engagement and the
corresponding potential conflict of interest presented by such engagement.
Grandfathering of Minimum Account Requirements: Pre-existing advisory clients are subject to our minimum
account requirements and advisory fees in effect at the time you entered into the advisory relationship. Therefore,
our firm's minimum account requirements may differ among clients.
Advisory Fees in General: You should note that similar advisory services may (or may not) be available from other
registered (or unregistered) investment advisers for similar or lower fees.
Limited Prepayment of Fees: Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1,200
more than six months in advance of services rendered. We do not require payment of fees in advance.
Neither Quadrant, nor its representatives, receive any compensation from PGB or its affiliates for the
recommendation of PGB’s products and services to its clients.

We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing your assets:
Asset Allocation: Before focusing on securities selection, we attempt to identify an appropriate ratio of asset
classes and securities (e.g. stocks, bonds, and cash) suitable to your investment goals and risk tolerance.
We refer to your targeted asset allocation as your strategic asset allocation. Periodically we will make intentional
tactical departures where we see opportunities or risks. We refer to that as tactical asset allocation.
A risk of asset allocation is that you may not fully realize the performance gains in your portfolio that equal the
gains of any particular security, industry or market sector.
Another risk is that the ratio of securities, fixed income, and cash will change over time due to stock and market
movements and, if not corrected, will no longer be appropriate for your goals. Tactical allocation increases these
risks.
Charting: In this type of technical analysis, we review charts of market and security activity in an attempt to
identify when the market is moving up or down and to predict how long the trend may last and when that trend
might reverse.
Fundamental Analysis: We attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security by looking at economic and
financial factors (including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the financial condition and management
of the company itself) to determine if the company is underpriced (indicating it may be a good time to buy) or
overpriced (indicating it may be time to sell).
Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents a potential risk, as the
price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market regardless of the economic and financial
factors considered in evaluating the stock.
Mutual Fund Analysis: We look at the experience and track record of the manager of the mutual fund in an attempt
to determine if that manager has demonstrated an ability to invest over a period of time and in different economic
conditions. We also look at the underlying assets in a mutual fund in an attempt to determine if there is significant
overlap in the underlying investments held in another fund(s) in your portfolio. We also monitor the funds in an
attempt to determine if they are continuing to follow their stated investment strategy.
PART 2A OF FORM ADV: QUADRANT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BROCHUREPAGE 9
A risk of mutual fund analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past performance does not guarantee future
results. A manager who has been successful may not be able to replicate that success in the future. In addition, as
we do not control the underlying investments in a fund, managers of different funds held by you may purchase the
same security, increasing the risk to the you if that security were to fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager
may deviate from the stated investment mandate or strategy of the fund, which could make the holding(s) less
suitable for the your portfolio.
Technical Analysis: We analyze past market movements and apply that analysis to the present in an attempt to
recognize recurring patterns of investor behavior and potentially predict future price movement.
Technical analysis does not consider the underlying financial condition of a company. This presents a risk in that a
poorly-managed or financially unsound company may underperform regardless of market movement.
Risks for All Forms of Analysis: Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption that the companies whose
securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review these securities, and other publicly available
sources of information about these securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to
indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate
or misleading information.
Investment StrategiesWe use the following strategy(ies) in managing your portfolio, provided that such strategy(ies) are appropriate
to your needs and consistent with your investment objectives, risk tolerance and time horizons, among other
considerations:
Long-Term Purchases: We purchase securities with the idea of holding them in the client's account for a year or
longer. Typically we employ this strategy when:
• we believe the securities to be currently undervalued, and/or
• we want exposure to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current projection for that asset class.
A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for a lengthy period of time, we may not take
advantage of short-term gains that could be profitable to you. Moreover, if our predictions are incorrect, a security
may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to sell and therefore includes the risk of a permanent
loss of principal.
Short-Term Purchases: On a very limited basis, we may make short-term purchases. When utilizing this strategy,
we purchase securities with the idea of selling them within a relatively short time (typically a year or less). We do
this in an attempt to take advantage of conditions that we believe will soon result in a price swing in the securities
we purchase.
A risk of this strategy is that it may not succeed in generating profits of securities purchased for short-term
appreciation fall in value.
Margin Transactions: On a very limited basis, we may purchase securities on margin with your authorization.
In such cases, we may purchase securities in your portfolio with money borrowed from your brokerage account.
This allows you to purchase more securities than you would be able to with your available cash, and without
having to sell other securities.
A risk with margin transactions is that you may be subject to what is referred to as a "margin call", which may
occur when the overall value of the portfolio has declined to a point that you either have to provide additional
principal to your portfolio, or sell existing securities to cover the decline. Furthermore, the use of margin may
amplify losses on securities in your portfolio.
PART 2A OF FORM ADV: QUADRANT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BROCHUREPAGE 10
Option Writing: On a very limited basis, we may purchase options with your authorization. We may use options as
an investment strategy. An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell
an asset (such as a share of stock) at a specific price on or before a certain date. An option, just like a stock or
bond, is a security. An option is also a derivative, because it derives its value from an underlying asset.
The two types of options are calls and puts:
• A call gives us the right to buy an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. We will buy a call if we
have determined that the stock will increase substantially before the option expires.
• A put gives us the holder the right to sell an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. We will buy a
put if we have determined that the price of the stock will fall before the option expires.
We may use options to "hedge" a purchase of the underlying security; in other words, we may use an option
purchase to limit the potential upside and downside of a security we have purchased for your portfolio.
We may use "covered calls", in which we sell an option on security you own. In this strategy, you receive a fee for
making the option available, and the person purchasing the option has the right to buy the security from you at an
agreed-upon price.
Options may involve a higher level of risk than more traditional securities, and may result in the permanent loss of
principal, including the total value of the option in certain situations.
Risk Of LossCurrently, Quadrant primarily invests client assets using one or more of the following types of securities: individual
equity securities (stocks), fixed income securities (bonds), mutual funds and ETFs. Investing in securities involves
the risk of loss that clients must be prepared to bear. Portfolio results/returns are not guaranteed, and past
performance is not indicative of future performance. Some of the common risks associated with the types of
securities that Quadrant recommends include, but are not limited to:
Stock Market Risk: This risk reflect that stock prices overall will decline. The market value of equity securities
will generally fluctuate with market conditions. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices
and periods of falling prices. Prices of equity securities tend to fluctuate over the short term as a result of factors
affecting the individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. Equity securities generally have
greater price volatility than fixed income securities.
Issuer Risk: This is the risk that the value of a security may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, such
as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services
Index or Tracking Error Risk: To the extent it is intended that an account or security within an account tracks an
index, the account or security may not match, and may vary substantially from, that of the index for any given
period of time. Because an account or security that tracks an index is not actively managed, the account may
purchase, hold and sell securities at times when an actively managed fund would not do so. Quadrant does not
guarantee that any tracking error targets will be achieved.

Neither Quadrant, nor its representatives, are registered or have an application pending to register, as a broker-
dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
Neither Quadrant, nor its representatives, are registered or have an application pending to register, as a futures
commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or a representative of the

Banking or Thrift Institutions: Quadrant is principally owned by Peapack-Gladstone Bank (“PGB”) which is
wholly owned by Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation. PGB also owns several domestic operating sub-diaries,
including PGB Trust & Investments of Delaware, which offers trust administration and related services; Peapack-
Gladstone Mortgage Group Inc., which offers commercial and residential mortgage lending and related services;
Peapack Capital Corporation, which is an equipment financing company; Murphy Capital, which offers to its clients
(individual, pension and profit sharing plans, corporation, business entities, trusts, estates and charitable
organizations, etc.) investment advisory services; Lassus Wherley & Associates, Inc. which is a wealth
management firm providing a wide range of services to individuals, couples, families, pension and profit sharing
plans, trusts, estates, and charitable organizations. LWA’s services include financial planning, investment
management, tax preparation, trust services and family office support; and Point View Wealth Management, Inc
which is a registered investment advisor firm that provides clients with customized portfolio management
services and offers comprehensive financial planning, as well as tax minimization and estate planning
strategies. . Upon request, Quadrant may recommend to clients that they utilize PGB and its affiliated entities
(including without limitation those entities identified above) for various banking, trust, lending, and related
services. This affiliation therefore presents a potential conflict of interest because Quadrant could have the
incentive to make such a recommendation based on its intention to support its principal owner and affiliates,
rather than on a particular client’s need. To mitigate this potential conflict of interest, Quadrant will not receive any
direct compensation from PGB or any of its affiliates in exchange for such referrals. Clients are also reminded that
they are not under any obligation to utilize PGB or any of its affiliated entities to provide any services whatsoever.
You also may decide to borrow money from PGB using your account managed by Quadrant Capital as collateral.
If the purpose of the loan is used to purchase additional securities, it is the policy that the maximum loan value
that can be offered is 50% of the collateral securities market value. The decision to borrow money from our
affiliate rests with you and should only be made if you understand the risks of borrowing money.
Neither Quadrant, nor its representatives, are under any obligation to recommend PGB’s products and services to
its clients.

Our firm has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of business conduct that we require
of our employees, including complying with applicable federal and state securities laws.
Quadrant and our employees owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards you, and have an obligation to ad-
here not only to the specific provisions of the Code of Ethics but to the general principles that guide the Code of Ethics.
Our Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the review of quarterly securities transactions reports as
well as initial and annual securities holdings reports that must be submitted by the firm’s employees. Among other
things, our Code of Ethics also requires the prior approval of any acquisition of securities in a limited offering
(e.g., private placement) or an initial public offering. Our code also provides for oversight, enforcement and record
keeping provisions.
Our Code of Ethics further includes the firm's policy prohibiting the use of material non-public information. While
we do not believe that we have any particular access to non-public information, all employees are reminded that
such information may not be used in a personal or professional capacity.
PART 2A OF FORM ADV: QUADRANT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BROCHUREPAGE 12
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available upon request to our advisory clients and prospective clients. You may
request a copy by email sent to
[email protected], or by calling Karen J. Alvarado at (201) 285-6178.
Our Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of our
employees will not interfere with (i) making decisions in your best interest and (ii) implementing such decisions
while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts.
Our firm and/or individuals associated with our firm may buy or sell for their personal accounts securities identical
to or different from those recommended to you. In addition, any related person(s) may have an interest or position
in a certain security(ies) which may also be recommended to you. Additionally, our firm or individuals associated
with our firm may buy or sell securities, at or around the same time as those securities are recommended or
transacted for you.
It is the expressed policy of our firm that no associated person of the firm may purchase or sell any security
prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account, as such actions risk that the associated
person could benefit from the transactions placed on behalf of the advisory accounts. Notwithstanding, the firm’s
principals may participate in the purchase or sale of securities in their own account at the same time as the
purchase or sale of the identical security in your account.
Those trading activities (i.e., firm personnel trading in the same securities as client accounts, and firm personnel
trading in the same securities as client accounts at or about the same time as in the client account) may create
a conflict of interest for the firm and the firm’s personnel, in that it is generally possible for such trading result
in a financial benefit to the firm’s personnel. However, the firm believes that those conflicts of interest have
been addressed by its personal securities transaction policy that is intended to monitor the personal securities
transactions and holdings of the firm’s associated persons.
We have established the following policies and procedures for implementing our firm’s Code of Ethics, to ensure
our firm complies with its regulatory obligations and provides our clients and potential clients with full and fair
disclosure of such conflicts of interest:
1. No principal or employee of our firm may put his or her own interest above your interest.
2. No principal or employee of our firm may buy or sell securities for their personal account(s) where their decision
is a result of information received as a result of his or her employment unless the information is also available to
the investing public.
3. It is the expressed policy of our firm that no person associated with the firm may purchase or sell any security
prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account. This prevents such persons from benefiting
from transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts.
4. Our firm requires prior approval for any Initial Public Offering ("IPO") or private placement investments by
persons associated with the firm.
5. We maintain a list of all reportable securities holdings for our firm and anyone associated with this advisory
practice that has access to advisory recommendations ("access person"). These holdings are reviewed on a regular
basis by our firm's Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee.
6. We have established procedures for the maintenance of all required books and records.
7. All of our principals and employees must act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State regulations
governing registered investment advisory practices.
8. We require delivery and acknowledgement of the Code of Ethics by each supervised person of our firm.
9. We have established policies requiring the reporting of Code of Ethics violations to our senior management.
PART 2A OF FORM ADV: QUADRANT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BROCHUREPAGE 13
10. Any individual who violates any of the above restrictions may be subject to termination.
11. We may aggregate our associated person’s trades with your transactions where possible and when compliant
with our duty to seek best execution for you. In these instances, participating clients will receive an average share
price. In the instances where there is a partial fill of a particular batched order, we will allocate all purchases pro
rata, with each account paying the average price. Our associated person’s accounts will be included in the pro rata
allocation.
Soft dollars is a term used in finance to describe the commission generated from a trade or other financial
transaction between you and an investment manager. A soft dollar arrangement is one in which the investment
manager directs the commission generated by the transaction towards a third party or in-house party in exchange
for services that are for the your benefit but are not directed by you.
We do not have any soft-dollar arrangements and do not receive any soft-dollar benefits.
We require that you provide us with written authority to determine the broker-dealer to use.
Generally, we manage advisory accounts on a discretionary basis, although periodically we may manage advisory
accounts on a non-discretionary basis. You must include any restrictions on this discretionary authority in writing.
You may change/amend these restrictions as required. Such amendments must be provided to us in writing.
We will block trades where possible and when advantageous to you. This blocking of trades permits the trading of
aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple client accounts. Block trading may allow us to
execute equity trades in a timelier, more equitable manner, at an average share price. We will typically aggregate
trades among clients whose accounts can be traded at a given broker. Our block trading policy and procedures are
as follows:
1. Transactions for any of your accounts may not be aggregated for execution if the practice is prohibited by or
inconsistent with the your investment advisory agreement with us, or our firm's block trading policy.
2. The portfolio manager must determine that the purchase or sale of the particular security involved is appropriate
for you and consistent with your investment objectives and with any investment guidelines or restrictions
applicable to your account.
3. The portfolio manager must reasonably believe that the order aggregation will benefit, and will enable us to seek
best execution for each client participating in the aggregated order. This requires a good faith judgment at the time
the order is placed for the execution. It does not mean that the determination made in advance of the transaction
must always prove to have been correct in the light of a "20-20 hindsight" perspective. Best execution includes the
duty to seek the best quality of execution, as well as the best net price.
4. Prior to entry of an aggregated order, we identify each client account participating in the order and the proposed
allocation of the order, upon completion, to those clients.
5. If the order 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 pro rata among the participating client accounts in accordance with
the initial order ticket or other statement of allocation. However, adjustments to this pro rata allocation may be
made to participating client accounts in accordance with the initial order ticket or other statement of allocation.
Furthermore, adjustments to this pro rata allocation may be made to avoid having odd amounts of shares held in
any client account, or to avoid excessive ticket charges in smaller accounts.
PART 2A OF FORM ADV: QUADRANT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BROCHUREPAGE 14
6. Generally, each client that participates in the aggregated order must do so at the average price for all separate
transactions made to fill the order. Transaction costs will be based on the client's agreement with their custodian.
7. If the order will be allocated in a manner other than that stated in the initial statement of allocation, an
explanation of the change must be provided to and approved by the Chief Compliance Officer no later than the
morning following the execution of the aggregate trade.
8. Our client account records separately reflect, for each account in which the aggregated transaction occurred, the
securities which are held by, and bought and sold for, that account.
9. Funds and securities for aggregated orders are clearly identified on our records and to the broker-dealers or
other intermediaries handling the transactions, by the appropriate account numbers for each participating client.
10. No client or account will be favored over another.
We require that you establish brokerage accounts with either Schwab Institutional, a division of Charles Schwab
& Co., Inc. ("Schwab"), or National Financial Services LLC, and Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (together with all
affiliates, "Fidelity") to maintain custody of your assets and to effect trades for their accounts.
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab")Schwab is a FINRA registered broker-dealer and a member of SIPC. Although we recommend that you establish
accounts at Schwab, it is your decision to custody assets with Schwab. We are independently owned and operated
and not affiliated with Schwab.
Schwab provides us with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available
to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisers on an
unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the adviser's clients' assets
are maintained in accounts at Schwab Institutional. These services are not contingent upon our firm committing
to Schwab any specific amount of business (assets in custody or trading commissions). Schwab's brokerage
services include the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other
investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly
higher minimum initial investment.
For our client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody
services but is compensated by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related or asset-
based fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts.
Schwab Institutional also makes available to our firm other products and services that benefit us but may not
directly benefit our clients' accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to service all or some
substantial number of our client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab.
Schwab's products and services that assist us in managing and administering our clients' accounts include
software and other technology that:
• provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements);
• facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts;
• provide research, pricing and other market data;
• facilitate payment of our fees from clients' accounts; and
• assist with back-office functions, record keeping and client reporting.

Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These
services may include:
• compliance, legal and business consulting;
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
• access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers.
Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay third-party vendors for the types of services rendered to us.
Schwab Institutional may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or
a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to our firm. Schwab Institutional may also provide other
benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of our employees. In evaluating whether
to recommend or require that clients custody their assets at Schwab, we may take into account the availability
of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors we
consider and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which
may create a potential conflict of interest.
National Financial Services, LLC and Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC ("Fidelity”)National Financial Services, LLC and Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC (together with all affiliates, "Fidelity"), is a FINRA
registered broker-dealer and a member of SIPC. Although we recommend you establish accounts at Fidelity, it is your
decision to custody assets with Fidelity. We are independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Fidelity.
We have an arrangement with Fidelity through which Fidelity provides our firm with their "platform" services.
The platform services include, among others, brokerage, custodial, administrative support, record keeping and
related services that are intended to support intermediaries like us in conducting business and in serving the best
interests of our clients but that may also benefit us.
Fidelity charges brokerage commissions and transaction fees for effecting certain securities transactions (i.e.,
transactions fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds, commissions are charged for individual equity and
debt securities transactions). Fidelity enables Quadrant to obtain many no-load mutual funds without transaction
charges and other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges. Fidelity’s commission rates are generally
considered discounted from customary retail commission rates. However, the commissions and transaction fees
charged by Fidelity may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers. As part
of the arrangement, Fidelity also makes available to our firm, at no additional charge to us, certain research and
brokerage services, including research services obtained by Fidelity directly from independent research companies.
These research and brokerage services presently include services such as:
• access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements);
• facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts;
• provide research, pricing and other market data;
• facilitate payment of our fees from clients' accounts;
• assist with back-office functions, record keeping and client reporting;
and are used by our firm to manage accounts for which we have investment discretion.
We may also receive additional services which may include:
• compliance, legal and business consulting;
• publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
• access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers.
Without this arrangement, we might be compelled to purchase the same or similar services at our own expense.
PART 2A OF FORM ADV: QUADRANT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT BROCHUREPAGE 16
As a result of receiving such services for no additional cost, we may have an incentive to continue to use or
expand the use of Fidelity's services. We examined this potential conflict of interest when we chose to enter into
the relationship with Fidelity and have determined that the relationship is in the best interests of our clients and
satisfies our client obligations, including our duty to seek best execution. A client may pay a commission that
is higher than another qualified broker-dealer might charge to effect the same transaction where we determine
in good faith that the commission is 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 broker-dealer’s
services, including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness.
Accordingly, while we will seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all clients, we may not necessarily obtain the
lowest possible commission rates for specific client account transactions. Although the investment research
products and services that may be obtained by us will generally be used to service all of our clients, a brokerage
commission paid by a specific client may be used to pay for research that is not used in managing that specific
client’s account.
When we receive a benefit from a broker-dealer or custodian, we do not have to pay for that benefit. We arguably
would have an incentive to select or recommend a broker-dealer or custodian based on our interest in receiving
the benefit(s), rather than on your interest in receiving most favorable execution. However, we feel that we
have addressed this conflict because you do not pay more for investment transactions effected and/or assets
maintained at a particular broker-dealer or custodian as result of our receipt of such benefit(s). There is no
corresponding commitment made by us to any other entity to invest any specific amount or percentage of client
assets in any specific mutual funds, securities, or other investment products as result of us receiving these
benefits. Further, and most importantly, the benefits received are available to any investment manager executing
securities transactions through the broker-dealer, regardless of the volume of execution.

We previously disclosed in the "Fees and Compensation" section (Item 5) of this Brochure that our firm directly
debits advisory fees from your accounts. As part of this billing process, your custodian is advised of the amount
of the fee to be deducted from your account. On at least a quarterly basis, the custodian is required to send to you
a statement showing all transactions within the account during the reporting period. Because the custodian does
not calculate the amount of the fee to be deducted, it is important for you to carefully review and compare their
quarterly fee statement we provide against your custodial statements to verify the accuracy of the calculation,
among other things. You should contact us directly if you believe that there may be an error in their statement.

Generally, we vote proxies for your accounts. However, you may retain the right to vote proxies yourself.
If you grant us the authority to vote proxies on your behalf, we will not process a request to direct a particular proxy
vote.
Consistent with our investment advisory agreement, we have the sole discretion to utilize the services of
independent firms to research, recommend and vote proxies on your behalf.
Proxies will be voted in accordance with our established policies and procedures. Our firm will retain all proxy
voting books and records for the requisite period of time, including a copy of each proxy statement received, a
record of each vote cast, a copy of any document created by us that was material to making a decision how to
vote proxies, and a copy of each written client request for information on how the adviser voted proxies. Since our
firm has engaged an independent research firm, Glass Lewis & Co., we anticipate that there will be no conflict of
interest between you and us on a security being voted, given all voting recommendations will be made by Glass
Lewis & Co.
You may obtain a copy of our complete proxy voting policies and procedures by contacting Karen J. Alvarado by
telephone, email, or in writing. You may request, in writing, information on how proxies for your shares were voted.
If you request a copy of our complete proxy policies and procedures or how we voted proxies for your account(s),
we will promptly provide such information to you.
If you choose to vote proxies yourself, you may contact us with general questions on a particular proxy, but you
retain the responsibility to vote and file it on your own.

financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet our contractual obligations. We have no
additional financial circumstances to report.
We have not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.
