    Once we schedule a free online or in-person consultation, we will spend approximately 45 minutes to inform you thoroughly about the investment model and answer any potential questions. If you decide to become a client, the following steps will be undertaken:

    FIRST WE’LL ASK YOU A FEW EASY QUESTIONS…

    That way we can get to know you and your financial situation a little better, and we can begin building you a portfolio that is custom-tailored to your age, goals, and risk-tolerance.

    NEXT, WE’LL SHOW YOU THE PORTFOLIO. WE’VE CUSTOM-BUILT JUST FOR YOU...


    THEN YOU CAN SIMPLY SIT BACK, RELAX, AND LET US MANAGE YOUR PORTFOLIO FOR YOU!



    After you accept the personalized portfolio we have designed for you, we’ll send you over to our partners at Interactive Brokers or American Funds with everything you need to open and fund your brokerage account.

    MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN ASKING WHY TIGRIS CONSULTING CHOSE INTERACTIVE BROKERS AND AMERICAN FUNDS AS OUR EXCLUSIVE PARTNERS...

    www.americanfunds.com - For retirement accounts

    The American Funds is a division of privately owned Capital Group, which was founded in 1931. Based in Los Angeles, Capital Group is the nation's eleventh-largest asset manager, with $1.87 trillion in assets under management (AUM) as of March 2019. American Funds offers choices in the equity, equity income, asset allocation, and fixed-income classes of funds. Asset allocation funds targeted to specific retirement years are one of the firm's highly rated specialties. The funds are actively managed by portfolio managers who pay attention to value and keeping turnover rates low.


    Acting as custodian for the clients’ assets and accounts, American Funds charges no transaction fees during the process of buying and selling shares for the retirement accounts.


    www.interactivebrokers.com - For all other account types

    And while it’s true that Barron’s recently named Interactive Brokers as the No. 1 discount online brokerage in the world for several years running.

    The truth of the matter is that after countless hours research, Tigris Consulting ultimately selected Interactive Brokers as our exclusive partner for accounts management because of their:

    • Wide range of investment options
    • Superior trading platform
    • And low-cost trading fees

    Transaction fees typically run about USD 0.005 per share of ETF or Stock — meaning if the Tigris Consulting team buys or sells 100 shares of ETF on your behalf, the total fees that would be paid to Interactive Brokers out of your account would amount to just USD 1.00 – as minimum per trade and maximum of 0.5% of trade value.

    (Please note that for any accounts with balances of less than $100,000, Interactive Brokers will impose a $10 monthly minimum trading fee.)

    As you might imagine, these are among the absolute lowest trading fees you’ll ever see. And as you probably well know, it’s not uncommon to pay upwards of $10 anytime you trade any number of shares in your own brokerage account.

    And it’s just one of the many reasons we’re confident you’ll be just as impressed with Interactive Brokers as we have been.

    Which bring us to another very important point ... while you will be giving Tigris Consulting permission to make trades on your behalf, all of your money and investments will actually be held by Interactive Brokers — and the only person who will ever be able to touch the money in your account will be YOU.

    This is just another of the many steps Tigris Consulting has happily taken to enhance transparency and ensure that what we’re offering is as straightforward, secure, and as friendly as possible.

    Granted, this does mean that if the account you want to have managed is held at a different brokerage — like Schwab, Fidelity, or TD Ameritrade — you will have to transfer your account over to Interactive Brokers in order to have Tigris Consulting team manage it for you.

    While we realize this may sound a bit daunting, you can rest assured that Tigris Consulting team will provide you with all the necessary paperwork and absolutely everything else you need to make this transition as smooth and efficient as possible.

    We do not make commissions on any of the investments we recommend, as we are fee-only advisory firm.

    Form CRS - Customer Relationship Summary

    Date: June 27, 2020
    Name: Tigris Consulting, LLC
    Registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Investment Advisor


    Introduction

    Brokerage and investment advisory services and fees differ, and it is important you understand those differences. Free and simple tools are available to research firms and financial professionals at www.investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational materials about broker-dealers, investment advisors, and investing.


    What investment services and advice can you provide me?

    We are a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and in that capacity you should expect us to manage a portfolio of securities. Once you become a client, you will be asked to sign an investment advisory contract. Depending on which service you select, our asset allocation services are either “nondiscretionary” (we recommend investments to you, and you make the ultimate decision regarding the purchase or sale of investments) or “discretionary” (we make the ultimate investment decisions without your signoff). Available investments may include mutual funds, exchange-listed equity securities, commingled funds, individual stocks and exchange traded commodity funds.

    For the discretionary type of contract, we’ll ask you to answer the investor profile questionnaire to understand your investment time horizon and risk tolerance. Based on what we learn from the questionnaire, we’ll recommend a portfolio of investment that is monitored at least quarterly.

    We are a fee-only advisor, not a broker-dealer, financial planner nor are we involved with wrap free programs. There is an account minimum of $3,000 for non-retirement brokerage accounts, which may be reduced by Tigris Consulting in its discretion, and $250 for IRA accounts. The funds will have to be deposited into a qualified custodians; Interactive Brokers LLC and Capital Group (American Funds) are our preferred custodians, please see Item 12: Brokerage Practices from our Form ADV Part 2A Brochure , which is available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/284070


    What fees will I pay?

    You should expect to pay a fee for investment advisory services every quarter. You agree to this fee when you sign your investment advisory contract. We charge fixed rate of 1.8% annually from the total assets under our management which is the value of the investments in your account. These fees are generally negotiable and the final fee schedule is attached as exhibit of the investment advisory contract. Your fee will be automatically deducted from your custodial account following the end of each calendar quarter. This fee is in addition to any other fees that may be incurred, including ETF fees, mutual fund fees, transactions and other fees that are not charged by us.

    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, which is available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/284070


    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:

    As a fee-only adviser, a conflict of interest may exist any time we recommend that you keep your assets under our management rather than remove your assets from our management. Examples could include recommending that you rollover an account into an account managed by our firm, or recommending that your assets remain in your account rather than satisfying a debt obligation.

    Our firm receives support services from our custodians that could include investment-related research, pricing information and market data, software and other technology that provide access to your account data, compliance and/or practice management-related publications, meetings, and other educational and/or social events, marketing support. You should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefit by our firm or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence our choice of custodian for custody and brokerage services.

    Additional information about our conflicts of interest is in Item 10 of our Firm Brochure, which is available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/284070


    How do your financial professionals make money?

    Our financial professionals are paid based only on the revenue our firm earns from advisory services.


    Do you or your financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history?

    No, our firm and financial professionals do not have any legal and disciplinary history to disclose. Visit www.investor.gov/CRS for a free and simple search tool to research our firm and our financial professionals.
