CFG provides clients with discretionary and non-discretionary asset management services and financial consulting services. CFG at this time does not participate in any wrap fee programs. Asset Management Services CFG reviews with each new client investment goals, risk tolerance and objectives. We consider the client’s investment goals and needs when recommending any advisory products or services. Our intention is to provide each client with bespoke solutions and products and services that will help to meet their goals and needs. We will gather personal information about each client when helping to choose a product or service. This information may include:
• Investment experience
• How soon money is needed
• Retirement goals
• Current financial situation and future needs
• Annual income
• A client’s ability to withstand losses
• A client’s ability to withstand market fluctuations
• A client’s personal instructions on how to invest CFG then manages client assets consistent with the clients’ stated objectives or restrictions. As one of its services, CFG can structure mutual fund, or Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) portfolios for clients. These portfolios will be constructed to meet clients' objectives and sometimes to meet broader diversification needs. Besides managing various types of securities for clients, such as mutual funds, preferred stocks, warrants, rights common stocks, bonds, municipal securities and government bonds, a portion of the client's account may be held in cash or cash equivalents, including money market mutual funds. As of December 31, 2023, CFG had regulatory assets under management of $165,780,751 of which $94,523,870 are assets under discretionary management and $71,256,881 are assets under non-discretionary management. Additionally, CFG manages $1.8 million in assets under advisement. Consulting Services CFG will at times act in a consultant capacity. Consulting services may include but are not limited to reviewing the performance of an investment portfolio and providing asset allocation direction. Fees for these services will be negotiated based on time and complexity of task. Prior to engagement, the client will be provided with an agreement which provides and estimates of the total fee for services. Fees for Consulting Services can be $400-$500 per hour depending on the complexity of the engagement and subsequent services requested. Fees are due after services are rendered. The agreement between CFG and a client for consulting services may be terminated by either party at any time by 30 day written notice to the other. Any fees due, but not yet paid by the client, are due promptly after termination of the agreement. The decision to accept any recommendations or advice provided by CFG as part of its Consulting Services and all decisions regarding implementation thereof are left to the client. Clients are free to implement recommended transactions through broker-dealers and other service providers of their choice. Management of Held Away Assets We use a third-party platform to facilitate management of certain held away assets such as defined contribution plans, 401(k) accounts, Health Savings Accounts, and similar types of accounts. When an account is established on the platform, a link is sent to the client allowing them to connect their account(s) to the third-party platform in a secure, compliant manner. Once the client account(s) is connected to the platform, we will have access to periodically review the current account allocations and rebalance the client’s account, as deemed appropriate, considering the client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance. This limited access only provides us with the ability to rebalance investment allocations, it does not provide us with the ability to transfer funds or securities out of the client’s account. We offer this option as a service to our clients and at no additional cost. We are not affiliated with the platform and do not receive compensation for using or referring clients to their platform. Pension Consulting Services We offer pension consulting services to employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries based upon the needs of the plan and the services requested by the plan sponsor or named fiduciary. In general, these services may include an existing plan review and analysis, plan-level advice regarding fund selection and investment options,

education services to plan participants, investment performance monitoring, and/or ongoing consulting. These pension consulting services will generally be non-discretionary and advisory in nature. The ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan shall remain with the plan sponsor or other named fiduciary. We may also assist with participant enrollment meetings and provide investment-related educational sessions to plan participants on such topics as: diversification, asset allocation, risk tolerance, time horizon. Our educational sessions may include other investment-related topics specific to the particular plan. Additionally, we may also provide additional types of pension consulting services to plans on an individually negotiated basis. All services, whether discussed above or customized for the plan based upon requirements from the plan fiduciaries shall be detailed in a written agreement and be consistent with the parameters set forth in the plan documents. Retirement Account Rollovers We offer recommendations and advice concerning employer retirement plan or other qualified retirement accounts. Our recommendations may generally include that the client consider withdrawing the assets from his/her employer's retirement plan or other qualified retirement account and roll the assets over to an Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRA”) or other qualified investment vehicle. If a client elects to roll the assets to an IRA that is subject to our management, we will charge an asset-based fee as described above under Item 5 below. This poses a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend a rollover for the purpose of generating compensation rather than solely based on the client’s needs. As a fiduciary, we are required to always act in the client’s best interests. Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to rollover their retirement assets, or to have their assets rolled into an IRA managed by us. It is important for clients to understand that many employer retirement plan sponsors permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company plan, even after the employee terminates their employment with the company or retires. In determining whether to rollover employment retirement plan assets to an IRA or other investments vehicle, clients should consider the costs and benefits of each option. Employees will typically have the following options:
• Leave the funds in the employer's (or former employer's) plan
• Move the funds to the new employer's retirement plan
• Withdraw the funds from the plan, which results in a taxable distribution and a taxable event
• Rollover the funds into an IRA rollover account Before making any changes to their plan, we encourage clients to carefully consider any tax implications with their accountant or tax advisor. Below are some general 401K Plan features and differences versus an IRA that clients should consider:
• Although employer retirement plans may have a more limited investment menu than the investment options available in an IRA, the plan may also have unique investment options not available to the public, such as the opportunity to invest in the employer’s securities if the employer is a publicly traded company.
• The employer retirement plan may offer financial advice, guidance, and/or model management or portfolio options at no additional cost, or at a fee which may be lower than our advisory fee.
• Clients should understand the various investments available in an IRA and the costs.
• In some cases, the employer retirement plan may allow participants to hire us as manager and keep the assets titled in the plan’s name.
• Clients interested in investing only in mutual funds should understand the cost structure of the share classes available in the employer's retirement plan and how the costs of those share classes compare with those available in an IRA.
• It may be possible to take out a loan on 401k Plan assets. This option is not available for IRAs.
• It may be possible to delay taking 401k Plan or retirement account minimum distributions beyond age 72.
• A 401k Plan may offer more liability protection than a rollover IRA. Although IRA assets are generally protected from creditors in bankruptcies, it depends on state law and there can be some exceptions to the general rules.
• IRA distributions are subject to ordinary income tax and may also be subject to a 10% early distribution tax penalty unless they qualify for an exception. There are certain exceptions available based on age, disability, or if the assets are used to pay for higher education expenses or to purchase a home. It is important that clients understand the differences and options available as well as the cost and tax implications to be able to decide whether an IRA rollover is appropriate.
