We feel this is the most objective way to provide financial advice. We work with clients as fiduciaries, meaning our only loyalty is to our clients – not to a brokerage firm nor to a mutual fund company nor to a third party. We feel this is the best way to provide financial advice. The Registrant has voluntarily subscribed to the “Best Practices for Financial Advisors” published by The Institute for the Fiduciary Standard. The Best Practices offer a simple code of conduct and outline a commitment to clients of subscribing financial advisors. They seek to clearly articulate what a client can expect to receive from a subscribing financial advisor. These Best Practices do not replace our regulatory compliance obligations or duties to clients under relevant laws, rules, or regulations. The Institute for the Fiduciary Standard’s role is limited to publishing the Best Practices as well as maintaining a corresponding register of subscribing financial advisors. You can find a complete list of the Best Practices on our website or at The Fiduciary Institute1 and verify our subscription status at Real FiduciaryTM Practices Advisory Registry.2 Advisory Services Financial Planning and Investment Consultation Services Charleston Financial Advisors, LLC works with financial planning clients on either an

hourly basis or a fixed, project-based basis. These services may be general in nature or focused on a particular area of interest or need, depending upon the client's unique circumstances. A complimentary initial meeting is conducted by a qualified representative of the firm to determine the scope of services to be provided. Following the initial meeting, the client completes fact finder documents and schedules a data meeting. Based on the level of services desired, the firm provides financial planning and investment consultation services relating to various components which may be either broad based or modular. Advice is offered on subjects such as retirement planning, risk management, college planning, investment planning, divorce settlement, and estate planning. 1 https://thefiduciaryinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Real-Fiduciary-Practices-2019-02-22.pdf 2 https://thefiduciaryinstitute.org/real-fiduciary-advisors/ 4 | P a g e Investment Supervisory and Asset Management Services Charleston Financial Advisors, LLC provides investment supervisory and asset management services to clients through portfolios deemed appropriate to the client’s investment objectives and tolerance for risk.

SWIA’s role is limited to delivering IIP Disclosure Brochure to clients and administering IIP so that it operates as described in IIP Disclosure Brochure. SWIA charges an annual fee of .10% which is waived for our firm due to having more than 100 Million custodied at Schwab.
