A. Description of the Advisory Firm
EC is a Limited Liability Company organized in the State of Pennsylvania. The Firm was formed in
March 2010, and the principal owner is Parmer 2016 Family Continuity Trust, which maintains co-
beneficial owners, including Adam Parmer (“Mr. Parmer”), who serves as the Firm’s Chief
Investment Officer (CIO).
B. Types of Advisory Services
Portfolio Management Services
EC offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives, time
horizon, and risk tolerance of each client (also referred to herein as “you” or “your”). EC creates an
Investment Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, net
worth, time horizon, existing portfolio holdings, investment experience, tax levels, and risk tolerance
levels) and then constructs a plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client's
specific situation. Portfolio management services include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Investment strategy
• Personal investment policy
• Asset allocation
• Asset selection
• Risk tolerance
• Active portfolio monitoring
EC evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels and
time horizon. EC will request discretionary authority from clients in order to select securities and
execute transactions without obtaining permission from the client prior to each transaction. Risk
tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy Statement, which is given to each client. EC
seeks to ensure that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary duties owed to
its accounts and without consideration of the Firm’s economic, investment, or other financial
interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, EC attempts to avoid, among other things, investment or
trading practices that systematically advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and
accordingly, the Firm’s policy is to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment
opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid favoring one client over another over time. It
is EC’s policy to allocate investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate
and prudent among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
EC has partnered with LinkBank to offer our clients a special rate on cash deposits. This partnership
will serve clients who are looking for specialized cash management as well as accounts for which we
are implementing an investment strategy. Assets will be held on deposit at LinkBank and will transfer
to the client’s brokerage account as needed. To participate in this program, which is voluntary, clients
will be required to open an account with LinkBank and authorize EC to transfer assets between the
LinkBank account and the client’s account at the custodian. Assets are fully liquid and are not held to
a specific term. LinkBank and EC are not related entities. There is no cost in addition to our fee
agreement related to these services. Potential risks include limited FDIC coverage for large accounts,
better rates through money market funds, and the liquidity and solvency of LinkBank. EC will
continue to monitor rates on available money market instruments. If a more advantageous rate is
found, we intend to shift client assets to that higher rate instrument.

Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
EC generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds; fixed income securities, including U.S.
Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”) and inflation-linked bonds; real estate funds
(including REITs); equities, including common stocks
and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”);
derivatives, options, and alternatives; and private placements, including the Firm’s sponsored
private fund offering. EC may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio where deemed
necessary. Where appropriate, EC may also provide advice about any type of legacy position or other
investments held in client portfolios. Clients may engage EC to manage and/or advise on certain
investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as assets held in
employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). In these situations,
EC directs or recommends the allocation of client assets among the various investment options
available with the product. These assets are generally maintained at the underwriting insurance
company, or the custodian designated by the product’s provider.
Written Acknowledgment of Fiduciary Status
When EC provides investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates 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 must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (furnish
prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (offer 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.
C. Client-Tailored Services and Client-Imposed Restrictions
EC tailors a program for each individual client. This includes an interview session to get to know the
client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that EC will execute on the client’s behalf.
EC may use model allocations together with a specific set of recommendations for each client based
on their personal restrictions, needs, and targets. Clients may not impose restrictions on investing in
certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. Although EC is the
sponsor and investment manager of a private fund, Enhancing Capital Partners, LP (“ECP”), and may
recommend third-party private fund offerings, the underlying investor (“Limited Partner”) may not
request restrictions with regard to the management of those investments. The private placement
memorandum (“PPM”) applicable to each private-fund investment will describe the investment
strategies, risks, and other pertinent information. Investors are encouraged to read the PPM carefully
before investing.

EC, as an accommodation, may accept portfolio holdings that were acquired by investors prior to
their onboarding with the Firm (“Legacy Assets”).
D. Wrap Fee Programs
A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that includes
management fees, transaction costs, fund expenses, and other administrative fees. EC does not
participate in any wrap fee programs.
E. Regulatory Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2023, EC had approximately $297,667.943.00 in regulatory assets under
management, all of which were managed on a discretionary basis.
