Form CRS Relationship Summary

March 25, 2022

TAPP Engine Securities, LLC is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as both a broker-dealer and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

Brokerage and investment advisory services and fees differ, and it is important for you to understand these differences. A broker dealer is defined as a firm that acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers of securities for which they will usually receive a commission and may purchase or sell those securities in/out of their own account. An investment advisor is generally any person or group that provides investment advice or conducts securities analysis in exchange for a fee.

What are your legal obligations to me when providing recommendations as my broker-dealer? How else does the firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?

We do not provide recommendations as your broker-dealer. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interest. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the services we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means. their return may also be based on the firm’s overall profitability.

Example of ways we make money and conflicts of interest

As noted above, one of the ways we make money from payments from market centers for directing to them – through our instruction or the instruction of our clearing firm and executing broker, Velocity Clearing – your order flow. This structure enable us to offer you commission-free trading in your account.

Payment for order flow has been described as a conflict of interest for various reasons. Orders that are executable may not get executed as they may be routed to market makers that do not have the highest liquidity. In addition, the quality of the prices on market or limit orders may be diminished due to the orders being routed to a particular market maker rather than the venue with the best execution price.

Information Regarding Typical Advisory Accounts

If you open an advisory account (also known as a discretionary account as defined below) with an investment adviser that maintains trading or monetary discretion over your account, you may pay an ongoing asset‐based fee that is based on the value of the cash and investments in your advisory account (an assets under management or “AUM” fee). Features of a typical advisory account include:

  • Advisers provide advice, transact in your account, and may rebalance your account, on a regular basis. They design a strategy to achieve your investment goals and are responsible for monitoring your account.
  • You can choose an account that allows the adviser to buy and sell investments in your account without asking you in advance (a “discretionary account”) or the adviser may give you advice and you decide what investments to buy and sell (a “non‐discretionary account”).
  • Advisers are held to a fiduciary standard that covers the entire investment advisory relationship. For example, advisers are required to monitor your portfolio, investment strategy and investments on an ongoing basis.
  • If you were to pay an asset‐based fee in an advisory account, you would pay the fee periodically even if you do not buy or sell. You may also choose to work with an investment adviser who provides investment advice for an hourly fee or provides a financial plan for a one‐time fee.
  • For an adviser that charges an asset‐based fee, the more assets you have in an advisory account, often including cash, the more you will pay the adviser. So, the adviser may have an incentive to increase the assets in your account in order to increase its fees.
