Brochure Summary

Overview

Watts Gwilliam & Company LLC was established in May of 2004. The founding members include Jeffrey Stephen Watts, D. Bradford Gwilliam and David Bruce Watts. As of March 2023, the firm has total assets under management of approximately $586 Million, managed on a discretionary basis. Investment Advisory Services The primary business of Watts Gwilliam & Co., LLC is to provide investment supervisory services. This is done through ongoing portfolio management and oversight. Prior to providing investment advisory services, our process includes an assessment of each client’s individual needs, goals, risk appetite, and time horizon. Thereafter, Watts Gwilliam will allocate, and/or recommend that the client allocate, investment assets consistent with the designated investment objectives. The client may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions, in writing, on our services. Portfolios receive on-going monitoring and reviews with proactive re-balancing of asset allocation as necessary. Optic Asset Management Optic Asset Management (OAM) is a division of Watts Gwilliam & Co. that oversees the company’s professionally managed option strategies (see Item 8 below). Some clients may engage our firm for

the sole purpose of accessing this strategy and not engaging in other broad- based wealth management services. This is also the name through which we typically offer sub- advisory services. In these situations, advisors unaffiliated with Watts Gwilliam & Co. outsource the investment supervisory services of certain clients to our firm. Details of these arrangements are further discussed in the section entitled Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations. Types of Securities Watts Gwilliam & Co. generally limits its money management to Equities, ETFs, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Fixed income, Debt Securities, Hedge Funds, REITs, Private Placements, Government Securities and both listed and over-the-counter options. We may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable. Financial Planning On certain occasions, we advise clients on matters not directly involving securities. This general guidance, commonly considered Financial Planning, may include advice related to issues such as retirement, education, and estate planning. Often, the result of this planning is used to better advise the client on issues related to the investment supervisory services discussed previously.
