B. Advisory Services Offered
Dakoré Wealth Management offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
foundations, retirement plans, charitable organizations and business enterprises (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. Dakoré Wealth Management's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code
of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
Dakoré Wealth Management provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved
through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and/or non-discretionary
investment management and related advisory services. Dakoré Wealth Management works closely with each Client
to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a
portfolio strategy. Dakoré Wealth Management will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost,
diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual equities and fixed income to achieve the
Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and/or options
contracts to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain certain types of investments based on a Client’s
legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations.
Dakoré Wealth Management’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell
or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to
market conditions. Dakoré Wealth Management 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 acceptance by the Advisor.
Dakoré Wealth Management evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying
its internal due diligence process. Dakoré Wealth Management may recommend, on occasion, redistributing
investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Dakoré Wealth Management may recommend specific positions to
increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible
hedge against market movement. Dakoré Wealth Management 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 the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk
tolerance.
At no time will Dakoré Wealth Management accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for
the limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated
account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage
Practices.

Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the
assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account
to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or
increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a
retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services
Dakoré Wealth Management will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients,
pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial
situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a
formal financial plan or rendering a specific 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 analysis 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.
Dakoré Wealth Management may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate
for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of
the 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 (6) months of
contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of 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.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging Dakoré Wealth Management 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 Strategy – Dakoré Wealth Management, in connection with the Client, will
develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Dakoré Wealth Management 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.
