HNWA offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, defined contribution plans and corporations or other businesses (each referred to as a “Client”).

The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. Our fiduciary commitment is further described in our Code of Ethics. For more information regarding our Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.

Wealth Management Services HNWA will typically provide a variety of wealth management services to high net worth individuals and families, pursuant to a written wealth management agreement. Services are offered in several areas depending on Client goals, objectives and resources. Generally, the Advisor designs a financial plan for the overall wealth management of the Client and then provides investment management services to oversee the implementation of that financial plan. Please see below for more details on financial planning and investment management services.

Investment Management Services HNWA provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and consulting services. HNWA works with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio allocation. HNWA will then construct a portfolio, consisting of mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, options, United States government bonds and other securities to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations.

HNWA investment strategy is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. HNWA will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to the acceptance by the Advisor.

HNWA evaluates and selects assets for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying their internal due diligence process. HNWA may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. HNWA may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. HNWA may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Prior to rendering investment advisory services, HNWA will ascertain, in conjunction with the Client, the
Client’s financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objective[s]. HNWA will provide investment advisory services and portfolio management services and will not provide securities custodial or other administrative services. Under certain circumstances, HNWA may accept or maintain custody of Client’s funds or securities. Please see Item 15 – Custody for more information. Page 5 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors Financial Planning and Consulting Services HNWA will typically provide a variety of financial planning services to Clients as part of its wealth management services or as a separate engagement, pursuant to a written agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals, objectives and financial situation. Generally, such financial planning services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.

A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.

HNWA may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor 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.

Financial planning and consulting recommendations may pose a potential conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, a recommendation to engage the Advisor for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor would pose a conflict, as it would increase the advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any. recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor.
