It is SCI’s policy to encourage funds subject to ERISA, to develop a formal, written statement of investment objectives. The statement should establish quantitative criteria to measure the effectiveness of the investment advisor. SCI from time to time provides investment consulting services to various entities on a flat fee basis. 2. Stolper & Co. also provides asset allocation services to clients under an arrangement in which SCI will allocate all or a portion of a client’s portfolio to subadvisers hired by SCI. Under this arrangement, SCI monitors the investment activities of the subadvisers and SCI retains the ability to terminate the subadviser or allocate more or less of the client’s portfolio to the subadviser at any time. SCI also negotiates each subadviser’s fees on the client’s behalf. 3. Stolper & Co. provides investment management services and individualized advice to clients through a mutual fund selection program. SCI has full authority to purchase and sell

shares of open-end, both load and no-load funds, (load funds are selected only if the sales charge is waived and it can be purchased at NAV and closed-end mutual funds (including money-market funds) on behalf of each participating client. Factors similar to those outlined above with respect to investment managers are considered by the SCI in purchasing shares for clients’ accounts. 4. SCI provides financial planning services primarily for individuals and families regarding the management of their financial resources based on an analysis of their needs and circumstances. These services generally include budgeting, education planning, retirement planning, estate planning, and gifting strategies. SCI typically conducts a complimentary initial consultation. Following the consultation, if the client decides to engage SCI for financial planning services, detailed information about the client’s financial situation and objectives are gathered. In performing these services, SCI is not required to verify any information received from the client or from the client's other professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, etc.,) and is expressly authorized to rely on such information. The company then reviews and analyzes the data with third party planning software, including eMoney. A digital financial plan is created and presented to the client. The primary objective of this process is to assist the client in developing a strategy for saving, spending, and managing their assets and liabilities to meet their financial objectives. SCI only provides financial planning services for clients that are, or expect to become, investment management clients. Clients should be aware that different financial planning software uses different financial planning methodologies, and the financial plan will describe the specific methodologies used for the particular plan and should be carefully considered in evaluating the results presented to the client. The outputs generated by the software utilize third-party proprietary formulas and are based on economic assumptions and forecasts approved by SCI. In addition, clients’ financial plans may include a Monte Carlo simulation. Monte Carlo simulations are used to show how variances in rates of return each year can affect results. Results using Monte Carlo simulations indicate the likelihood that an event may occur as well as the likelihood that it may not occur. SCI may change the software, third- party provider, or the methodologies it uses when creating your financial plan. Your financial plan will provide details on the software and methodologies used. SCI does not participate in wrap fee programs. SCI manages $308,750,302 on a discretionary basis and $306,866,758 on a non- discretionary basis. These numbers are as of December 31, 2023.
