Introduction

Our firm, Pinnacle Peak Private Client Group, LLC, is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange  Commission. We feel that it is important for you to understand how advisory and brokerage services and fees differ in order to determine which type of account is right for you. There are free and simple tools available to research firms and financial professionals at www.investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational materials about investment advisers, broker-dealers, and investing. 

What investment services and advice can you provide me?

We are a registered investment adviser that offers investment advisory services, including Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio  Management, and Financial Planning & Consulting to clients. If you open an advisory account with our firm, we’ll meet with you to understand your current financial situation, existing resources, objectives, and risk tolerance. Based on what we learn, we’ll recommend a portfolio of investments that is monitored at least quarterly, and if necessary, rebalanced to meet your changing needs and goals. We’ll offer you advice on a regular basis and contact you at least annually to discuss your portfolio.  

You can select in our agreement whether we are allowed to buy and sell investments in your account without asking you in advance (“discretion”) or only after receiving your permission (“non-discretion”). If you select non-discretion, you make the ultimate decision regarding the purchase or sale of investments. Any limitations will be described in the signed advisory agreement. We will have discretion or non-discretion until the advisory agreement is terminated by you or our firm.  

We do not restrict our advice to limited types of products or investments. In addition, our firm does not impose requirements for opening and maintaining accounts or otherwise engaging us.  

Financial Planning & Consulting is included in our Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management service for no additional fee. Financial Planning & Consulting is also offered as a separate service for a flat or hourly fee. We do not monitor your investments for the stand-alone Financial Planning & Consulting service. 

Additional information about our advisory services is in Item 4 of our Firm Brochure and Item 5 of our Wrap Brochure, which are available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/brochure/282003.

Questions to Ask Us:

• Given my financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory service? Why or why not?
• How will you choose investments to recommend to me?
• What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education and other qualifications? What do those qualifications mean?

What fees will I pay?

You will be charged an ongoing quarterly fee based on the value of the assets in your account. Our maximum Wrap  Comprehensive Portfolio Management annual fee is 1.50%. The more assets you have in your advisory account, the more you will pay us. We, therefore, have an incentive to increase the assets in your advisory account in order to increase our fees. Our fees vary and are negotiable. The amount you pay will depend, for example, on the services you receive and the amount of assets in your account. Our firm’s fees will be automatically deducted from your advisory account, which will reduce the value of your advisory account.  

Our maximum flat fee is $5,000 maximum hourly rate is $300 for our Financial Planning & Consulting service. We charge you when we provide a financial plan or consultation. 

The broker-dealer that holds your assets charges you a transaction fee when we buy or sell an investment for you. We pay the broker-dealer’s transaction fees charged to you for our Wrap Comprehensive Portfolio Management service. The fees for wrap fee programs are therefore be higher than a typical asset-based advisory fee. 

You may also pay charges imposed by the broker-dealer holding your accounts for certain investments and maintaining your account. Some investments, such as mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds, charge additional fees that will reduce the value of your investments over time. 

You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying.

Additional information about our fees is in Item 5 of our Firm Brochure and Item 4 of our Wrap Brochure, which are available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/brochure/282003.

Questions to Ask Us:

• Help me understand how these fees and costs may affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs and how much will be invested for me?

What are your legal obligations to me when acting as my investment adviser? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?

When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the investment advice, we provide you. Here are some examples to help you  understand what this means: 

Our firm’s financial professionals include licensed insurance agents who sell insurance products for a commission. They have an incentive to recommend insurance products to you in order to increase their compensation.  

For our wrap services, we pay the broker-dealer’s transaction fees charged to you except for U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds, which do not have transaction fees. As a result, we have an incentive to recommend these asset types without transaction fees in order to reduce the amount of the broker-dealer’s transaction fees that we will have to pay on your behalf. 

Additional information about our conflicts of interest is in Item 10 of our Firm Brochure and Item 9 of our Wrap Brochure, which are available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/brochure/282003. 

Questions to Ask Us:

• How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?

How do your financial professionals make money?

Our financial professionals are compensated based on the revenue our firm earns from their advisory services or recommendations, the amount of client assets they service, and the time and complexity required to meet a client’s needs.  In addition, they are compensated based on the type of product sold and/or product sales commissions.
