SERVICES Apex Strategic Wealth, LLC is a SEC-registered investment adviser with our principal place of business located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Apex Strategic Wealth, LLC began conducting business in 2020. We sponsor the Wrap Fee Program Brochure (the "Program"). A wrap fee program is an advisory program under which a specified fee or fees not based directly on transactions in the client's account is charged for advisory services, which may include portfolio management or advice concerning the selection of other investment advisers, and the execution of client transactions. Our offering consists of portfolio management services. Please refer to the description of each investment advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual needs. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is limited to describing the services, fees, and other necessary information clients should consider prior to becoming a client within the Program. For a complete description of the other services and fees offered by our firm, clients should refer to our Form ADV Part 2: Firm Brochure. You may obtain a copy of our Firm Brochure by contacting Robert Pragnell at 423-267-0046 or robert.pragnell@lpl.com. WRAP FEE PROGRAM Through the Program, clients are provided with portfolio management services using model asset allocation portfolios. Each model portfolio is designed to meet a particular investment goal. Through personal discussions with the client in which the client's goals and objectives are established, we determine if the model portfolio is suitable to the client's circumstances. Once we determine the suitability of the portfolio, the portfolio is managed based on the portfolio's goal and on each client's individual needs. Clients, nevertheless, have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their account. Clients retain individual ownership of all securities. Account supervision is guided by the client's stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income), as well as tax considerations. The individuals associated with Apex Strategic Wealth, LLC who provide our investment advisory services serve as the client's financial consultant. The financial consultant assists the client in understanding the nature of the Program and determining its suitability, identifying the client's investment objectives, establishing the client's risk tolerance; all based on information provided by the client concerning their financial situation, personal and financial goals, risk tolerance, investment time horizon and other similar factors. After assisting in its development, the financial consultant provides a copy of the client's investment profile to the selected portfolio manager for review and approval. The financial consultant will continue to monitor the client's Program account to ensure that the investment style and portfolio manager(s) selected by the client continues to match the client's investment profile. The financial consultant must meet with the client at least annually (either in person or via telephone) to evaluate the client's ongoing participation and specifically determine whether there has been any change in the client's financial circumstances. Any such changes will be communicated by the financial consultant to the client's selected portfolio manager(s). A complete description of the independent manager's services, fee schedules and account minimums (if any) will be disclosed in the independent manager's applicable Form ADV disclosure brochure(s) which will be provided to clients at the time an agreement for services is executed and account is established. Fees We provide an initial financial plan for a fee of .20% of the value of the total assets covered by the plan with a minimum fee of $1,000. We charge an annual fee of .05% of the total assets covered by the plan for updates to the financial plan. Our fees are negotiable and will depend on the scope and complexity of the plan, your situation, and your financial objectives. An estimate of the total time/cost will be determined at the start of the advisory relationship. In limited circumstances, the cost/time could potentially exceed the initial estimate. In such cases, we will notify you and request that you approve the additional fee. We require that you pay one half of the fee in advance and the remaining portion upon the completion of the services rendered. We will not require prepayment of a fee more than six months in advance and in excess of $1200. The annualized fees for this program are charged as a percentage of the value of the client's portfolio, according to the following schedule: ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT ANNUAL FEE* First $1,000,000 2.25% $1,000,000 - $2,000,000 1.80% $2,000,000 - $5,000,000 1.55% $5,000,000 - $25,000,000 1.00% $25,000,000 - $50,000,000 0.90% $50,0000,000 and above 0.80% *We can impose a minimum annual fee of $2,000 per household. The fee schedule is blended, meaning that you will be charged the corresponding fee based upon the value of your account at each tier. Certain clients may be charged higher or lower fees than the fee schedule above. How are Fees Charged? Program fees are charged quarterly in advance based on the value of your account on the last business day of the previous quarter. If the client agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a calendar quarter, our fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is payable in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. Our advisory fee is negotiable, depending on individual client circumstances. What services are covered by the Program fees? The Program fees pay for our firm's advisory services to clients, brokerage and custodial fees as well as administrative expenses of the Program. Upon entering into a wrap fee account arrangement with Apex Strategic Wealth, LLC, clients are free to designate any broker-dealer for executing securities transactions, including their continuation of a previous broker-dealer relationship. Clients can also elect to designate LPL Financial as their executing broker-dealer. Payments to the broker-dealer for its execution services will be accomplished via the wrap fee charges to the account. Clients should be aware that while we strive to maintain our fiduciary duty to clients at all times, there may be an incentive for us to trade less actively in client accounts because we assume the costs of executing transactions for all accounts within this program.

Thereafter, you may terminate the financial planning agreement upon 30 day's written notice to our firm.

ERISA Accounts: Apex Strategic Wealth, LLC is deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Securities Act ("ERISA"), and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), respectively. As such, our firm is subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code that include among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation. To avoid engaging in prohibited transactions, Apex Strategic Wealth, LLC may only charge fees for investment advice about products for which our firm and/or our related persons do not receive any commissions or 12b-1 fees, or conversely, investment advice about products for which our firm and/or our related persons receive commissions or 12b-1 fees, however, only when such fees are used to offset Apex Strategic Wealth, LLC's advisory fees. Other Fees and Expenses. As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest, in mutual funds and exchange traded funds. We will invest your account, when suitable, in no load mutual funds. The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or exchange traded funds (described in each fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will generally include a management fee and other fund expenses. You will also incur transaction charges and/or brokerage fees when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian through whom your account transactions are executed. We do not share in any portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian. To fully understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all the fees charged by mutual funds, exchange traded funds, our firm, and others. Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to Apex Strategic Wealth, LLC for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without our services. In that case, the client 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 most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the funds and our fees to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided. Exchange-Traded Funds. Shares of ETFs held in client accounts are bought and sold on an exchange and not, like mutual funds, directly from the fund itself. The price of ETF shares fluctuates in accordance with changes in the net asset value (NAV) per share, as well as in response to market supply and demand. Accordingly, ETF shares may trade at a price which differs from NAV per share of the ETF. Fees are Negotiated. The Program fees set forth in this Wrap Fee Program Brochure are the maximum annual rates for each Program. Fees are negotiated and may differ from client to client based on a number of factors, including the type and size of the account, and the selected investment manager(s), among other possible criteria. The actual rates agreed upon between the client and our firm with respect to a Program account are set forth in the related client agreement. Additional Information about Program fees. Under the Program, the participant receives investment advisory services, the execution of securities brokerage transactions, custody and reporting services for a single specified Program Fee. Clients are cautioned that depending on the level of fees charged by the executing broker-dealer, and the amount of portfolio activity in the clients' account, the value of the services provided under this Program may exceed the total cost of such services had they been provided separately. In addition, the Program Fee may be higher or lower than that charged by other sponsors of comparable wrap fee programs. Advisory Fees in General: Clients 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 $1200 more than six months in advance of services rendered.
