Every adviser says "fiduciary." We treat it as a discipline with paperwork: a documented decision ledger, conflicts disclosed in writing, and a compliance program owned by a named officer — all of it verifiable at the source.
The fiduciary standard is two duties, stated plainly. The duty of care: advice must rest on a real understanding of your situation — your goals, your constraints, your capacity for loss. The duty of loyalty: your interest goes ahead of the firm's, conflicts are avoided where possible and disclosed in full where they aren't. Most firms can recite this. The question that separates them is quieter: could they prove it?
Proof is a records problem, not a rhetoric problem. If loyalty was kept, there should be a trail — the reasoning behind each recommendation, the conflicts on file at the moment it was made, the name of the person accountable. We built the firm so that trail writes itself, decision by decision, into a ledger we can produce on demand.
"A fiduciary promise you can't audit is a slogan."
This page is the standard behind the other four services. It's not what we do for you; it's what makes everything we do for you trustworthy.
Not aspirations. Obligations — each with a record that shows whether it was met.
Every material recommendation is grounded in your plan of record and written down with its reasoning — what we knew, what we weighed, why this and not the alternative. Advice you can re-read years later.
We are fee-only: no commissions, no 12b-1 fees, no referral arrangements, no products to place. The only money in the relationship is the advisory fee you can see — so the advice has nothing else to serve.
Where a conflict can’t be engineered away, it goes on the record — in the ADV, in plain English, before it can color a recommendation. You should never discover a conflict; you should have been told.
Compliance is owned, not outsourced into fog: a named Chief Compliance Officer inside the firm, supported by outside compliance counsel, running a written program that is reviewed — and revised — every year.
None of this asks for your trust. Intellicapital Advisors, LLC is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training — it implies a paper trail. Here is where it lives.
Our registration, fees, conflicts, and disciplinary history — on the SEC’s public IAPD database, not our letterhead.
The relationship summary, in the format the SEC requires — short enough to actually read before you sign anything.
Material decisions on your household, recorded with their rationale and reviewed by a supervised person. Ask what was done in any quarter, and why; the answer is minutes away.
The compliance program is examined against the year’s actual conduct annually — findings logged, corrections made, the record signed forward.
The duties are continuous. So is the record that shows they were met.
The recommendation, the alternatives weighed, and the reason it serves your plan — attributed to a named person and dated.
Advisory fees billed transparently against the schedule you signed. No revenue arrives at this firm any other way.
Written policies tested against actual conduct, the ADV re-filed, disclosures refreshed — under the named officer who answers for it.
The ledger of decisions on your household is yours to see. Loyalty kept standing — not reconstructed after the fact.
Start with our Form ADV and CRS — then bring your questions. We'll answer them with documents, not assurances.
