Business Planning Our Investment Management Service includes the following: Sound Stewardship provides wealth management services to Annual Planning Relationship clients on a discretionary basis, with non- discretionary management only by request. The management service includes, among other things, providing advice regarding asset allocation and the selection of investments. Account management is guided by the stated objectives of the client (i.e., capital appreciation, income, growth and income or capital preservation). For accounts managed on a discretionary basis, clients sign an agreement with our firm, giving us authorization to place trades, according to their Investment Policy Statement, without contacting the client prior to each trade. Clients may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on Sound Stewardship’s discretionary authority in writing (i,e., restrict the sale/purchase of a specific security). For accounts managed on a non-discretionary basis, we won’t process transactions without seeking and receiving the client’s authorization first. We build customized portfolios without commissions or third-party incentives through our strategic partnerships with Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services and Schwab Institutional Services. However, the client may use the custodian(s) of their choice, but may have limited-service capabilities and potentially higher custodial fees. What We Do For You:
• Create a Suitable Mixture of Investments
• Implement the Portfolio According to Your Goals
• Manage the Portfolio Throughout Your Lifetime
• Report on Your Comprehensive Performance at Schwab and Fidelity Institutional What Makes Sound Stewardship Unique?
• Minimize underlying investment expenses using tax-efficient Exchange Traded Funds
• Each account is professionally managed in-house
• Overlay the portfolio allocation across multiple accounts
• Offer Biblically Responsible and Socially Responsible portfolios
• Identify and track your cost basis and contribution basis We gather required information through in-depth personal interviews. Information gathered includes the client's current financial status, tax status, future goals, returns objectives and attitudes towards risk. We carefully review documents supplied by the client, including a questionnaire completed by the client, and prepare a written report. Should the client choose to implement the recommendations contained in the plan, we suggest the client work closely with his/her attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and/or stockbroker. Implementation of financial plan recommendations is entirely at the client's discretion. We provide general non-securities advice on topics that may include tax planning, cash flow planning, estate planning and business planning. 4 of 14 Sound Stewardship, LLC Within the scope of our business, we have the possibility of providing recommendations and implementation in the following investment areas:

Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money may create some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we will:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. When providing recommendations to retirement plan accounts involving rollover considerations, there are generally four options regarding an existing retirement plan account. An employee may use a combination of those options, such as; (i) leave the funds in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the funds to a new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the individual’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). If your designated IAR recommends that you rollover your retirement plan assets into an account to be managed by our firm, such recommendation creates a conflict of interest insofar as this might increase your net worth, thereby increasing your annual advisory fee. Typically, the financial plan is presented to the client within six months of the contract date, provided that all information needed to prepare the financial plan has been promptly provided. Financial Planning recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are of a generic nature. TRANSITION PLANNING RELATIONSHIP (TPR) Sound Stewardship provides a Transition Planning Relationship (TPR) for existing Clients and their relatives, as well as family or friends of our existing employees, whose net wealth is under $500,000. The TPR provides similar services as described under our Annual Planning Relationship, except the Client is offered semi-annual meetings with their advisor instead of quarterly meetings. HOURLY-AS-NEEDED SERVICE Sound Stewardship provides limited financial consultation and/or implementation services to Client(s) on an hourly basis to address a variety of financial topics. Specific recommendations are provided after each meeting via email. The Client(s) are responsible for initiating meetings with the firm as they need assistance. Recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a broker-dealer or insurance company. All recommendations are of a generic nature. PUBLIC SPEAKING Sound Stewardship provides educational seminars and public speaking engagements on an hourly basis to address the financial topics of choice for the presenting sponsor. EVALUATION AND MONITORING OF THIRD-PARTY MONEY MANAGERS We also offer advisory services to our clients through our evaluation and monitoring of Third-Party Money Managers. Our firm provides the client with an asset allocation strategy developed through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on the client's particular circumstances are established. This asset allocation strategy is drafted into a written financial plan. 5 of 14 Sound Stewardship, LLC Based on the client's individual circumstances and needs we will then perform management searches of various unaffiliated registered investment advisers to identify which registered investment adviser's portfolio management style is appropriate for that client. Factors considered in making this determination include account size, risk tolerance, the opinion of each client and the investment philosophy of the selected registered investment adviser. Clients should refer to the selected registered investment adviser's Firm Brochure or other disclosure document for a full description of the services offered. We are available to meet with clients on a regular basis, or as determined by the client, to review the account. Once the client has selected the appropriate manager(s), we provide that manager with the client’s written financial plan. We then monitor the performance of the selected manager(s). If we determine that a particular selected manager is not providing sufficient management services to the client, or is not managing the client's portfolio in a manner consistent with the client's objectives, we may suggest that the client contract with a different registered investment adviser and/or program sponsor. Under this scenario, our firm assists the client in selecting a new registered investment adviser and/or program. However, any move to a new registered investment adviser and/or program is solely at the discretion of the client. AMOUNT OF MANAGED ASSETS As of December 31, 2023, we were actively managing approximately $217,333,172 of clients' assets, $192,876,721 on a discretionary basis and $24,456,451 on a non-discretionary basis.
