Conscious Wealth Investments also offers advisory services through the brand name Conscious Wealth®
Management. The trade name and logo are used for marketing purposes and may appear on marketing materials

B. Advisory Services Offered
Conscious Wealth Investments offers advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts,
estates, and small 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 toward each Client and seeks to mitigate conflicts
of interest. Conscious Wealth Investments’ 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.
Wealth Management Services
Conscious Wealth Investments provides customized wealth management solutions for its Clients. This is achieved
through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary
wealth management and related advisory services. Conscious Wealth Investments works closely with each Client
to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to design
a portfolio strategy. Conscious Wealth Investments will typically construct investment portfolios utilizing individual
equities, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and individual bonds to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The
Advisor may also utilize mutual funds, options, private equity, venture capital, real estate investment trusts
(“REITs”), closed-end funds, and/or other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of the Client.
The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations.
Conscious Wealth Investments will select, recommend and/or retain mutual funds on a fund-by-fund basis. Due
to specific custodial and/or mutual fund company constraints, material tax considerations, and/or systematic
investment plans, Conscious Wealth Investments will select, recommend and/or retain mutual fund share classes
that do not have trading costs when possible. These will, in most cases, be institutional share classes but, in some
cases, maybe share classes with higher internal expense ratios than institutional share classes. Conscious Wealth
Investments will seek to select the lowest cost share class available that is in the best interest of each Client,
weighing the expected investment pattern, expense ratios, and potential ticket charges, and will ensure the
selection aligns with the Client’s financial objectives and stated investment guidelines.
Conscious Wealth Investments’ investment approach is 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. Conscious Wealth Investments 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.
Conscious Wealth Investments evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after
applying its internal due diligence process. Conscious Wealth Investments may recommend, on occasion,
redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Conscious Wealth Investments may recommend
specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor
may recommend employing cash
positions as a possible hedge against the market movement. Conscious Wealth Investments 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.
Financial Planning Services
Conscious Wealth Investments will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to
Clients. Service may be offered as part of an overall wealth management engagement or contracted separately.
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 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, and establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
If there is a Client need, Conscious Wealth Investments will refer the Client to an accountant, attorney, or other
specialist[s], as appropriate for the Client’s unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the
Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For
project-based or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor does not provide a formal written summary. Project-based
financial plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of the 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 wealth 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 Conscious Wealth Investments to provide advisory services, each Client is required to enter into
a written advisory agreement with the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority, and responsibilities of
the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Conscious Wealth Investments, in connection with the Client, will
develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Conscious Wealth Investments 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 – Conscious Wealth Investments will develop a portfolio for the Client that is
intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
• Wealth Management and Supervision – Conscious Wealth Investments will provide wealth management
and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
