FORM CRS
Chapel Bridge Wealth Advisors is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser and, as such, we provide advisory services rather than brokerage services. Brokerage and investment advisory services and fees differ and it is important for you, our client, to understand the differences. Additionally, free and simple tools are available to research firms and financial professionals at Investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational materials about broker-dealers, investment advisers, and investing. This document is a summary of the services and fees we offer to "retail" investors, which are natural persons who seek or receive services primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
What investment services and advice can you provide me?
We offer the following investment advisory services to retail investors:
Financial Advisory Services, Portfolio Management Services, Financial Planning Services, Selection of Other Advisers, and Family Office and Wealth Planning Services.
Detailed information regarding our services, fees and other disclosures can be found in our Form ADV Part 2A Items 4, 7, and 8 by clicking this link https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/brochure/313295.
Account Monitoring: If you open an investment account with our firm, as part of our standard service we will monitor your investments on an ongoing basis and will conduct account reviews at least quarterly.
Investment Authority: We manage investment accounts on a discretionary basis whereby we will decide which investments to buy or sell for your account. We have discretion to select, retain or replace third-party managers to manage your accounts. You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased or sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing. We also offer non-discretionary investment management services whereby we will provide advice, but you will ultimately decide which investments to buy and sell for your account. You have an unrestricted right to decline to implement any advice provided by our firm on a non-discretionary basis.

Account Minimums and Requirements: In general, we require a minimum of $5,000,000 to open and maintain an advisory account. At our discretion, we may waive this minimum account size.
Key Questions to Ask Your Financial Professional
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 these qualifications mean?
What fees will I pay?
The following summarizes the principal fees and costs associated with engaging our firm for investment advisory services. For detailed information, refer to our Form ADV Part 2A, Items 5 and 6 by clicking this link https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/brochure/313295.
Asset Based Fees - Payable quarterly in arrears based on the account value on the last calendar day of each month in the quarter, prorated by the number of days in the month divided by the number of days in the year and then multiplied by the annual agreed upon fee. Since the fees we receive are asset-based (i.e. based on the value of your account), we have an incentive to increase your account value which creates a conflict especially for those accounts holding illiquid or hard-to-value assets;
FixedFees - Payable in arrears based on one-quarter of the agreed upon annual fee; and
Clients may also pay additional fees and/or expenses. Examples of the most common fees and costs applicable to our clients are custodian fees, account maintenance fees, fees related to mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, transaction charges when purchasing or selling securities; and other product-level fees associated with your investments.
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.
Key Questions to Ask Your Financial Professional
Help me understand how these fees and costs might 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.
Since the fees we receive are based on the value of your account, we have a financial incentive to increase your account value. This creates a conflict of interest. In order to try and grow your account we might have an incentive to be more aggressive with our recommendations and recommend riskier investments. However, as a fiduciary we are obligated to put your interests ahead of ours.
