A. Firm Information
Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors, Inc. (“HNWA” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which is organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Michigan. HNWA was founded in November 2000 as Henrickson Financial Group, Inc. and in January 2010 changed its name to Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors, Inc. HNWA is owned and operated by Douglas Henrickson, President and Jeffery Nauta, Chief Compliance Officer. This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by HNWA.
B. Advisory Services Offered
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.
Defined Contribution Plans HNWA will provide investment management and financial planning services to the sponsors and participants of “qualified retirement plans” as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), herein referred to as the “Plans”. HNWA is typically engaged to provide advice and guidance on the structure, investments and/or the ongoing investment management of a Plan. Based on this evaluation, HNWA will make objective recommendations to the Plan Sponsor. As part of its process, HNWA will provide an investment policy statement, which shall outline the goals for investment management and monitoring Plan investments.
Other Services In conjunction with financial planning and consulting, the Advisor may assist individuals, families, and corporations and with various services for a fee, pursuant to a written agreement. HNWA offers corporations business succession planning, assistance with executive compensation and other services. In addition, the Advisor offers individuals and families Family Offices Services, which include consolidated performance reporting on multiple accounts, bill pay assistance, family education, and assistance with governance issues including facilitating family meetings.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging HNWA to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Policy Statement – HNWA, in connection with the Client, will develop a statement that summarizes the Client’s investment goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – HNWA will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – HNWA will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. Page 6 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors
• Investment Management and Supervision – HNWA will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s portfolio and overall account.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
HNWA does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided directly by HNWA.
E. Assets Under Management
As of June 30, 2019, the most recent date for which such calculations are provided pursuant to securities regulations, HNWA manages the following assets:
Discretionary Assets $ 293,170,159 Non-Discretionary Assets 14,178,699
Total $ 307,348,858
Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor. please register to get more info
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for investment management. Each Client shall sign one or more agreements that detail the responsibilities of HNWA and the Client. Certain legacy clients may be engaged for similar services at a lower fee.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services Wealth management fees are charged as financial planning fees and investment management fees as described below. The Client will first pay a fixed fee for the financial plan to be developed and then pay an ongoing investment advisory fee for the implementation and continued management of the Client’s account[s] based on the market value of assets under management. See below for more details on financial planning and investment management fees.
Investment Management Services Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly in advance pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior quarter. Investment advisory fees range from 1.85% to 0.45% based on the following schedule:
Assets Under Management Annual Rate
First $500,000 1.85% Next $500,000 (Up to $1,000,000) 0.90% Next $3,000,000 (Up to $4,000,000) 0.65% $4,000,000 and over 0.45%
Investment advisory fees in the first quarter of service are prorated to the inception date of the account to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with or oversight by the Advisor. All securities are independently valued by the designated Custodian. HNWA will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities. Financial Planning and Consulting Services HNWA offers financial planning or consulting services on a fixed fee basis ranging from $3,000 to $25,000, which may be negotiable depending on the nature and complexity of each Client’s circumstances. An estimate for total cost will be determined prior to establishing the advisory relationship. Page 7 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors In addition, HNWA offers financial planning or consulting services on an hourly basis ranging from $100 to $300 per hour, which may be negotiable depending on the nature and complexity of each Client’s circumstances. An estimate for total hours will be determined prior to establishing the advisory relationship. The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. The hourly fees are determined after considering many factors, such as the level and scope of the services.
Defined Contribution Plans Pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement with each Plan Sponsor, the Advisor will receive an investment advisory fee, billed quarterly in advance of each quarter based on the value of the Plan assets under advisement on the last day of the prior quarter. Fees are charged at an annual rate ranging from 0.25% to 2.75% of Plan assets annually.
Other Services HNWA offers services to individuals, families, and corporations. In some instances, the Advisor charges fixed fees on a transactional or periodic basis, and other instances the Advisor charges basis points, depending on the nature and complexity of the arrangement. From time-to-time the Advisor may also charge hourly fees for these services. The fees are determined after considering many factors and are agreed to prior to entering into an agreement with the Client.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services Investment advisory fees will be automatically deducted from the Client Account by the Custodian. The Advisor sends an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client Account at the respective quarter end date. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management or oversight with HNWA at the end of each quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by HNWA directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services Financial planning and consulting fees are generally billed 50% in advance upon execution of the agreement and the remainder is invoiced by the Advisor and is due upon receipt of the agreed-upon deliverable.
Defined Contribution Plans Fees are automatically deducted from the Plan accounts by the Plan Administrator as directed by the Plan Sponsor. Clients receive participant statements at least quarterly from the Plan Sponsor and/or Plan Administrator.
Other Services Fees for other services may be billed in advance or in arrears depending on the type of engagement. The terms are agreed to in advance and are based on the needs of the Client.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than HNWA, in connection with investment made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custodial and securities execution fees charged by the custodian and executing broker-dealer. The investment advisory fee charged by HNWA is separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees. In addition, all fees paid to HNWA for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of HNWA, but would not receive the services provided by HNWA which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate to each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Page 8 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by HNWA to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services For Clients terminating wealth management services they will be charged for advisory services rendered at the time of termination, whether it be financial planning or investment management services. Depending on the services rendered the termination procedure will be as described below.
Investment Management Services HNWA is compensated for its services in advance the quarter in which investment advisory services are rendered. The Client may also terminate the investment/retirement advisory/financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without Client’s written consent.
Financial Planning and Consulting Services Either party may terminate a planning or consulting agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other party. In addition, the Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s financial planning or consulting agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. In the event that a Client should wish to cancel the financial planning agreement under which any plan is being created, the Client shall be billed for actual hours logged on the planning project.
Other Services Fees for other services may be billed in advance or in arrears depending on the type of engagement. In the event the Client would like to terminate this arrangement any prepaid fees, which are the result of collecting a deposit will be returned to the Client within 5 business days.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
HNWA Supervised Persons may implement securities transactions under a separate commission-based arrangement. Supervised Persons may be entitled to a portion of the commissions paid.
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. However, you are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with our firm. please register to get more info
HNWA does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by HNWA are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. HNWA does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients. please register to get more info
HNWA provides investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, defined benefit plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and corporations or other businesses. The amount of each type of Client is available on the Advisor's Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated at least Page 9 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors annually by the Advisor. HNWA generally does not impose a minimum account size for establishing a relationship. please register to get more info
A. Methods of Analysis
HNWA primarily employs modern portfolio theory in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from HNWA are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
As noted above, HNWA generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial goals. HNWA will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, HNWA may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. HNWA will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals.
HNWA structures strategically designed portfolios using the principles of Modern Portfolio Theory (“MPT”). MPT is an investment methodology that suggests that investors may benefit from having a portfolio of holdings invested in a variety of assets classes. To the extent that these asset classes are non-correlated, the portfolio will experience investment returns with mitigated risk. HNWA constructs Client investment portfolios based upon the premise that asset allocation models can be developed using historical performance data and academically tested assumptions about the future. This information can be used to optimize the risk-adjusted expected rate of return of a given portfolio.
While HNWA performs an analysis to determine the asset classes are not correlated, it does not mitigate all of the risk. Investment prices that do not appear correlated may in fact be correlated and the portfolio could lose value. It is important to point out that while the analysis assists the Advisor in selecting investments, it does not guarantee a positive return. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included in Item 13.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's account. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s strategy:
Mutual Fund Risks The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day. Market Risks The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall financial markets. Page 10 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors ETF Risks The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships) The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited liquidity. An investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions and investments that may carry higher risks. Clients should only have a portion of their assets in these investments.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a
risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these
risks with the Advisor. For more information on our investment management services, please contact us at
(616) 361-9308 or via email at [email protected]. please register to get more info
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving HNWA or any of its employees. HNWA and its advisory personnel value the trust you place in us. As we advise all Clients, we encourage you to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider in which you partner. Our backgrounds are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with our firm name or our CRD# 141201. please register to get more info
Insurance Agency Affiliations Advisory Persons also serve as sales agent for various insurance companies. This activity is done separate and apart from their role with the HNWA. As an insurance agent, the Advisory Persons may receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products are sold. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This may cause a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor.
Henrickson Nauta Retirement Advisors, LLC The Advisor is affiliated, through common control of, with Henrickson Nauta Retirement Advisors, LLC (“HNRC”), a branch office for Triad Advisors, Inc. a registered broker-dealer (CRD No. 25803), member FINRA, SIPC. Through its affiliation with the HNRC, Principals of the Advisor may benefit from any revenue generated and any subsequent distribution. In addition, certain Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of Triad. In their separate capacity as a registered representative, Advisory Persons of the Advisor will typically receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for commissionable transactions. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation provided by the Advisor. Neither the Advisor nor its Advisory Persons will earn investment advisory fees in connection with any services implemented in the Advisory Persons separate capacity as a registered representative where commissions are earned. please register to get more info
A. Code of Ethics
HNWA has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code of Ethics applies to all persons subject to HNWA’s compliance program (our “Supervised Persons”). The Code of Ethics was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding our duties to you, our Client. HNWA and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of HNWA’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code of Ethics covers a range of topics that Page 11 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors address Supervised Person ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of our Code of Ethics, please contact us at (616) 361-9308 or via email at [email protected].
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
HNWA allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. HNWA does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advice an investment company. HNWA does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
HNWA allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities, we recommend (purchase or sell) to you presents a potential conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate through policies and procedures. As noted above, we have adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non- public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons may have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can potentially be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by HNWA requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. We have also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While HNWA allows our Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards. At no time, will HNWA or any Supervised Person of HNWA, transact in any security to the
detriment of any Client. please register to get more info
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
HNWA does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custodial and execution services. The Client will select the broker-dealer or custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and authorize HNWA to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, HNWA does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of our Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where HNWA does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian[s] to Clients for execution and/or custodial services. HNWA may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and location of the Custodian’s offices. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian recommended by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a Custodian not recommended by HNWA. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. HNWA may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices.
HNWA will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Fidelity Clearing & Custody Solutions and related entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc. (collectively “Fidelity”), where the Advisor maintains an institutional relationship. Fidelity may enable the Advisor to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and other securities at nominal transaction charges. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Fidelity may be higher or lower than those charged by other financial institutions. Fidelity will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. HNWA maintains an institutional relationship with Fidelity, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Fidelity. Please see Item 14 below. Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor: Page 12 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors 1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services.
HNWA does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer. However, the
Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - HNWA does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing a brokerage account. 3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where HNWA will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). In selecting the Custodian, HNWA will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the designated Custodian. If a Client or Advisor has a need to sell a security that we think is a good fit for another client’s account, HNWA may wish to execute an internal cross transaction between clients or a principal transaction between HNWA and the Client. HNWA will only do this when the proposed transaction is in the best interests clients involved. HNWA acknowledges its duty to seek best execution for its clients and acknowledges that the use of cross transactions and principal transactions may raise potential conflict of interest under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Section 206(3) and Section 206(4). Therefore, cross transactions and principal transactions are only considered when the need to liquidate securities results in an availability of securities that are appropriate for another account. HNWA prohibits the need to purchase securities as the sole reason for identifying sale candidates nor does it allow the need to sell an issue as the sole reason for purchase of such by another client. When affecting a cross transaction or principal transaction, HNWA does not act as a agent through a broker/dealer or otherwise receive commissions or any type of compensation for effecting cross trades. HNWA’s sole intent for doing a cross trade or principal transaction is to act in the best interest of each client in accordance with their respective investment objectives. Cross trades and principal transactions are an exception to HNWA’s normal operating procedures and are only used when it is advantageous to both accounts in the absence of appropriate and comparable alternatives. HNWA prospectively requires written consent from all participating parties to authorize such trades. Additionally, HNWA will deliver written confirmations before or at the completion of the cross trade that includes 1) the nature of the trade; 2) the date of the transaction; 3) an offer to furnish the time of the trade; and 4) the source and amount of any remuneration received by the Advisor. The Advisor will deliver annual written reports to each client that participated in the transactions containing the total number of transactions enacted since the last distribution. All confirmations and reports provided by the Advisor will contain language that the cross transaction or principal transaction may be revoked upon written notice.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. HNWA will execute its transactions through an unaffiliated broker-dealer selected by the Client. HNWA may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the same Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts. If a block trade 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 in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular Client accounts. please register to get more info
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by President, Mr. Henrickson and Chief Compliance Officer, Mr. Nauta of HNWA. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client. Page 13 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify HNWA if changes occur in his/her personal financial situation that might adversely affect his/her investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements are sent directly from the custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.

A. Compensation Received by HNWA
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform As noted in Item 12, the Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s]. Access to the Fidelity Institutional platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Additionally, the Advisor may receive the following benefits from Fidelity: receipt of duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network for Client order entry and account information.

HNWA encourages Clients to review statements provided by account custodian. For more information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices.
If the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements in these cases, the Custodian and the Advisor have adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s instructions. please register to get more info
HNWA generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by HNWA. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all applicable Page 14 Henrickson Nauta Wealth Advisors limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by HNWA will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals. please register to get more info
HNWA does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting. please register to get more info

Successful applicants earn the right to use the CMFC® with their names for two years. Every two years, CMFC® professionals must complete 16 hours of continuing education to continue using the designation.
The study program to become a CMFC® covers types and characteristics of open and closed-end funds, other packaged investment products, risk and return, asset allocation, selecting a mutual fund for a client, retirement planning and professional conduct.
