Disclosures · Terms of Use · Information Practices

What we owe you in writing.

GlacierWealth, Inc. is an independent, fee-only Registered Investment Adviser. This page sets out the terms of use for this website, the disclosures that govern what you read here, and how we handle the information you send us. Plain language first; the legal language follows.

Last updated August 15, 2026 · Supersedes all prior versions

00 · AgreementUsing this site means agreeing to this page.

This site is owned and operated by GlacierWealth, Inc. By using it, and by using the information and services available through it, you agree to follow and be bound by the terms below. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

01 · PurposeEverything here is educational, not advice.

The data, information, and content on this site are provided for information, education, and non-commercial purposes only. Although GlacierWealth publishes material on retirement plan design, plan fees, and investment management, nothing on this site is investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice, and nothing here is personalized to your circumstances.

You alone bear responsibility for evaluating the merits and risks of any information on this site before acting on it, and you agree not to hold GlacierWealth liable for any claim for damages arising from a decision you make based on it. Before acting on anything you read here, confirm it with your own plan documents and your own attorney, CPA, or adviser.

02 · RelationshipReading this site does not make you a client.

Using this site, requesting a Form 5500 review, requesting access to research, or corresponding with us does not create an advisory, fiduciary, or contractual relationship. An advisory relationship with GlacierWealth begins only when both parties sign a written advisory agreement.

Advisory services are offered only in jurisdictions where GlacierWealth is registered or is exempt from registration. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security in any jurisdiction where such an offer would be unlawful.

03 · FilingsWhat a public filing can and cannot show.

Observations we publish or share about any retirement plan are drawn from that plan's publicly filed Form 5500 and its schedules. Public filings may be incomplete, outdated, or reported inconsistently, and what a filing discloses depends on which form the plan files. A plan review is a reading of a public document, not an audit, an ERISA compliance opinion, or a legal determination, and we confirm findings against plan documents and fee disclosures before relying on them. Sample outputs shown on this site are illustrations, not the results of any specific client engagement.

References to ERISA sections, IRS codes, and Form 5500 feature codes describe our understanding of the rules as of the date shown above. Rules change. Your plan's facts govern.

04 · RiskAll investing involves risk.

All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Diversification and asset allocation do not assure a profit and do not protect against loss in a declining market. Past performance is not indicative of, and is no guarantee of, future results. Any market data, valuation measure, or historical condition referenced on this site describes the past; it is not a forecast, and it is not a result we promise. No content on this site should be read as a guarantee of any outcome, tax treatment, deduction, or reduction in plan cost.

05 · RegulatoryRegistration, brochures, and what "investment counsel" means.

GlacierWealth, Inc. is a fee-only Registered Investment Adviser, independent since 2001. Registration with any securities authority does not imply a particular level of skill or training, and it does not constitute an endorsement of the firm.

The firm describes itself as an investment counsel firm consistent with §208(c) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940: in plain English, we manage client money ourselves, in-house, rather than outsourcing it. That is a description of practice, not a credential; no regulator confers, reviews, or approves it.

Our current Form ADV Part 2A brochure and our Privacy Policy are available at no charge on request at 800/416-1063, and through the public records below.

06 · LicenseWhat you may do with these pages.

GlacierWealth grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view, bookmark, download, and print the pages of this site and the documents, graphics, and media on them, solely for personal, informational, and non-commercial use.

You may not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, post, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any page, data, information, software, product, or service obtained from this site without our prior written permission. You may not use this site or its content to train, fine-tune, or ground any machine-learning or generative model, and you may not scrape or harvest it by automated means, except that standard search-engine indexing is permitted. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Your rights under this license end immediately upon any violation of these terms, and we may terminate access to this site at any time, without notice; GlacierWealth will not be liable to you or any third party for that termination.

08 · Information practicesWhat we collect, and what we don't do with it.

When you submit a Form 5500 review request or a research access request, we collect only what the form asks for: your company name, your email address, and any note you choose to add. We use it to prepare the review, respond to you, and keep a record of the request.

We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for marketing purposes. We disclose it only to service providers who help us operate this site and our email, and where required by law. This site does not run advertising trackers or third-party marketing pixels. Email you send us is stored with our providers; email is not a secure channel, so please do not send account numbers, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive personal information by email or through this site. You may ask us to delete a request at any time by writing to the address below.

The firm's Privacy Policy

GlacierWealth, Inc. respects the privacy and security of your personal and financial information. We recognize that you expect us to protect the information you provide and to use it responsibly.

GlacierWealth, Inc. collects information about its clients — such as name, address, Social Security number, assets, and income — from discussions with clients, from documents such as account applications, and in the course of providing services. We limit the collection and use of personal information to what is necessary to administer our business and deliver our investment management service to you, and we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards and procedures that prevent unauthorized access to your information.

GlacierWealth, Inc. uses personal information in ways compatible with the purposes for which we originally requested it: to evaluate your financial needs and objectives, or to provide you with investment management services.

GlacierWealth, Inc. does not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our clients or former clients to anyone except as required by law. We will disclose nonpublic personal information to others only at your request or with your specific permission. We recognize the obligation to share personal information in the limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law, or to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities.

GlacierWealth, Inc. requires that all employees with access to personal client information maintain the confidentiality of that information except for business use. We safeguard your nonpublic personal information internally by restricting access to those employees who provide products or services to you, or who need access to service your account. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that meet federal and/or state standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.

Clients receive this Privacy Policy at the start of the relationship and annually thereafter. If any questions or concerns arise regarding this policy, please call us at 800/416-1063.

09 · Third partiesLinks are conveniences, not endorsements.

Links to third-party sites, including SEC and FINRA resources and our client document portal, are provided for convenience. GlacierWealth does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices, and providing access to another site is not a recommendation or endorsement of that organization or its services.

Slow is not the same as still.

10 · WarrantiesThe site is provided as is.

11 · LiabilityLimitation of liability.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OBTAINED FROM GLACIERWEALTH, INC., FROM ANY GLACIERWEALTH EMPLOYEE OR AGENT, OR THROUGH THIS SITE, CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. GLACIERWEALTH WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, INCOME, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM ANY MATTER RELATING TO THIS SITE.

Nothing in these terms limits or alters any duty GlacierWealth owes its clients under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or other applicable federal or state securities law, and nothing here waives any right you may have under those laws.

12 · IndemnityIndemnity.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GlacierWealth, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, agents, subsidiaries, and affiliates from and against any claim, liability, damage, loss, or expense, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or connected with your access to or use of this site.

13 · Governing lawMontana law governs; severability.

GlacierWealth, Inc. controls and operates this site from its offices in Whitefish, Montana, United States of America. By visiting this site you agree that the laws of the State of Montana, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, govern these terms and any dispute arising from your use of this site, and that the state and federal courts located in Flathead County, Montana have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If any provision of these notices is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is severed and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. These notices are the entire agreement between GlacierWealth, Inc. and you regarding the subject matter here.

14 · ChangesWe may update this page.

GlacierWealth may modify these terms at its discretion, and a modification takes effect when posted, with the date at the top of this page updated accordingly. Please check this page periodically. If you use the site after we post a modification, you are bound by it.
