This Disclosure document is being offered to you by Capital Advisor Network (“CAN” or “Firm”) about the investment advisory services we provide. It discloses information about our services and the way those services are made available to you, the client. Our Firm became a registered investment adviser in July 2018 and is owned by Peter K Johnson, Jared Wickes, Billy Evans, Venture Family Office LLC, and Malcom Brown. Jeffrey Smith has been the Chief Compliance Officer of the Firm since 2023. We are committed to helping clients build, manage and preserve their wealth. Our Firm provides services that help clients to achieve their stated financial goals. We will offer an initial complimentary meeting upon our discretion; however, investment advisory services are initiated only after you and CAN execute an Investment Management Agreement. INVESTMENT AND WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION SERVICES We offer advisory accounts on a discretionary and nondiscretionary basis. For discretionary accounts, once we have determined a profile and investment plan with a client, we will execute the day-to-day transactions without seeking prior client consent but within the expected investment guidelines. We may accept accounts with certain restrictions, if circumstances warrant. We primarily allocate client assets among individual stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds, cash and other public and private securities or investments. All of which are considered asset allocation categories for the client’s investment strategy. Portfolios will be designed to meet a particular investment goal, determined to be suitable to the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. During personal discussions with clients, we usually determine the client’s objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review a client’s prior investment history, as well as family composition and background. Based on client needs and risk tolerances, we develop a client’s personal profile and investment plan. We then create and manage the client’s investments based on that policy and plan. It is the client’s obligation to notify us immediately if circumstances have changed with respect to their goals. Once we have determined the types of investments to be included in a client’s portfolio and have allocated the assets, we provide ongoing investment review and management services. With our discretionary relationship, we will make changes to the portfolio, as we deem appropriate, to meet client financial objectives and risk tolerances. We trade these portfolios based on the combination of our market views and client objectives, using our investment process. We tailor our advisory services to meet the needs of our clients and seek to ensure that your portfolio is managed in a manner consistent with those needs and objectives. Clients have the ability to leave standing instructions with us to refrain from investing in particular industries or invest in limited amounts of securities. Clients have a direct and beneficial interest in their securities, rather than an undivided interest in a pool of securities. We do have limited authority to direct the Custodian to deduct our investment advisory fees from your accounts, but only with the appropriate written authorization from clients. Where appropriate, we provide advice about any type of legacy position held in client portfolios. Typically, these are assets that are ineligible to be custodied at our primary custodian. Clients will MARCH 2024 | PAGE 4 engage us to advise on certain investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as variable life insurance, annuity contracts, and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (e.g., 529 plans). Clients are advised and are expected to understand that our past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Certain market and economic risks exist that could adversely affect an account’s performance. This could result in capital losses in your account. FINANCIAL PLANNING Through the financial planning process, our team strives to engage our clients in conversations around the client’s goals, objectives, priorities, risk tolerances, vision, and legacy – both for the near term as well as for future generations. With the unique goals and circumstances of each client in mind, our team will offer financial planning ideas and strategies to address the client’s holistic financial picture, including estate, income tax, charitable, cash flow, wealth transfer, and client legacy objectives. Our team partners with our client’s other advisors (CPAs, Enrolled Agents, Estate Attorneys, Insurance Brokers, etc.) to ensure a coordinated effort of all parties toward the client’s stated goals. Such services include various reports on specific goals and objectives or general investment and/or planning recommendations, guidance to outside assets, and periodic updates. Our specific services in preparing your plan may include:  Review and clarification of your financial goals  Assessment of your overall financial position including cash flow, balance sheet, investment strategy, risk management, and estate planning  Creation of a unique plan for each goal you have, including personal and business real estate, education, retirement or financial independence, charitable giving, estate planning, business succession, and other personal goals  Development of a goal-oriented investment plan, with input from various advisors to our clients around tax suggestions, asset allocation, expenses, risk, and liquidity factors for each goal. This includes IRA and qualified plans, taxable, and trust accounts that require special attention  Design of a risk management plan including risk tolerance, risk avoidance, mitigation, and transfer, including liquidity as well as various insurance and possible company benefits; and  Crafting and implementation of, in conjunction with your estate and/or corporate attorneys as tax adviser, an estate plan to provide for you and/or your heirs in the event of an incapacity or death Upon request, a written evaluation of each client's initial situation or Financial Plan is provided to the client. An annual review will be provided by the Adviser, if indicated by the Client and Adviser per the Agreement. More frequent reviews occur but are not necessarily communicated to the client unless immediate changes are recommended. CONSULTING SERVICES We also provide clients investment advice on a more-limited basis on one-or-more isolated areas of concern such as divorce planning, estate planning, real estate, retirement planning, or any other specific topic. Additionally, we provide advice on non-securities matters about the MARCH 2024 | PAGE 5 rendering of estate planning, insurance, real estate, and/or annuity advice or any other business advisory / consulting services for equity or debt investments in privately held businesses. In these cases, you will be required to select your own investment managers, custodian and/or insurance companies for the implementation of consulting recommendations. If your needs include brokerage and/or other financial services, we will recommend the use of multiple investment managers, brokers, banks, custodians, or insurance companies (“outside investment firms”). You must independently evaluate these outside investment firms before opening an account or transacting business and have the right to effect business through any firm you choose. You have the right to choose whether to follow the consulting advice that we provide. THIRD PARTY MONEY MANAGERS (“TPMM”) Our firm utilizes the services of a TPMM for the management of client accounts. Investment advice and trading of securities will only be offered by or through the chosen TPMM. Our firm will not offer advice on any specific securities or other investments in connection with this service. Prior to referring clients, our firm will provide initial due diligence on third party money managers and ongoing reviews of their management of client accounts. In order to assist in the selection of a TPMM, our firm

will gather client information pertaining to financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions to be imposed upon the management of the account. Our firm will periodically review third party money manager reports provided to the client at least annually. Our firm will contact clients from time to time in order to review their financial situation and objectives; communicate information to third party money managers as warranted; and assist the client in understanding and evaluating the services provided by the TPMM. Clients will be expected to notify our firm of any changes in their financial situation, investment objectives, or account restrictions that could affect their financial standing. RETIREMENT PLAN ADVISORY SERVICES Retirement Plan Advisory Services consists of helping employer plan sponsors to establish, monitor and review their company's retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include investment selection and monitoring, plan structure, and participant education. Pursuant to Section 402(c)(3) of ERISA, the client may appoint us as the Plan’s “investment manager” with respect to the Plan’s portfolio of investment options. We acknowledge that we are registered as an investment adviser under the SEC. Our firm acts as a “fiduciary” within the meaning of Section 3(21) and 3(38) of ERISA with respect to the Plan. We offer advisory services to employer sponsored retirement plans such as 401(k), 457, & 403(b). On the plan level, we manage the investment line-up making changes as necessary as well as providing risk-based investment models for the participants. On the individual participant level, we manage risk-based models using the current investment lineup based on risk tolerance of the individual investor. For employer-sponsored retirement plans with participant-directed investments, our firm provides its advisory services as an investment advisor as defined under Section 3(21) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). When serving as an ERISA 3(21) investment adviser, the Plan Sponsor and our Firm share fiduciary responsibility. The Plan Sponsor retains ultimate decision-making authority for the investments MARCH 2024 | PAGE 6 and may accept or reject the recommendations in accordance with the terms of a separate ERISA 3(21) Plan Sponsor Investment Management Agreement between our Firm and the Plan Sponsor. Under the 3(21) agreements, our Firm can provide the following services to the Plan Sponsor:
• Review or Development of an Investment Policy Statement
• Perform Due Diligence on Money Managers
• Provide Initial Investment and Management Selection - Our Firm typically uses mutual funds/managed accounts/collective trusts/cash equivalents to structure portfolios designed to meet client objectives and risk profiles.
• Provide ongoing Performance Evaluation and Monitoring of Money Mangers
• Make Investment Recommendations when necessary
• Retirement Plan Services Analysis - Our Firm will conduct an analysis of a client’s retirement plan to evaluate the services currently provided to the client by third parties. The areas of analysis may include asset management services, record keeping, administration, customer service, participant education, etc. These services may also include a cost/benefit analysis, recommendation of alternative vendors, facilitation of the RFP process for solicitation of a new vendor, and/or assistance in fee negotiations with proposed vendors.
• Provide Employee Education Services - Our Firm will provide enrollment and educational services the content of the program will be generic in nature. When serving as a result of the 3(38) appointments, we are granted full trading authority over the Plan and have the responsibility for the selection and monitoring of all investment options offered under the Plan in accordance with the investment policy statement and its underlying investment objectives and strategies for the Plan. Plan participants have the ability to exercise control over the investment selection from the plans line up of investments, and we have no authority or discretion to direct the investment of assets of any participant’s account under the Plan. Disclosure Regarding Rollover Recommendations A client or prospect leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) rollover to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). Our Firm may recommend an investor roll over plan assets to an IRA for which our Firm provides investment advisory services. As a result, our Firm and its representatives may earn an asset-based fee. In contrast, a recommendation that a client or prospective client leave their plan assets with their previous employer or roll over the assets to a plan sponsored by a new employer will generally result in no compensation to Adviser. Our Firm therefore has an economic incentive to encourage a client to roll plan assets into an IRA that our Firm will manage, which presents a conflict of interest. To mitigate the conflict of interest, there are various factors that our Firm will consider before recommending a rollover, including but not limited to: (i) the investment options available in the plan versus the investment options available in an IRA, (ii) fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees and expenses in an IRA, (iii) the services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals versus those of our Firm, (iv) protection of MARCH 2024 | PAGE 7 assets from creditors and legal judgments, (v) required minimum distributions and age considerations, and (vi) employer stock tax consequences, if any. All rollover recommendations are also reviewed by our Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer in a best effort to determine that the recommendation to a client was reasonable or that the client has determined to make the rollover after being provided ample information about their options. No client is under any obligation to roll over plan assets to an IRA advised by our Firm or to engage our Firm to monitor and/or advise on the account while maintained with the client's employer. Our Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client has regarding this disclosure. We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and when we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also 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. We have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. ASSET STRUCTURING AND ASSET PRESERVATION SERVICES CAN likewise provides services to current or prospective, high-net-worth clients, in connection with third-party service providers, involving the structuring of the entity and its assets as well as the implementation of asset preservation strategies. Payment for these services is made by a third party who directly receives fees or compensation from the client or prospective client. INTRODUCTION TO PRIVATE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES Where appropriate, CAN may introduce (but not necessarily recommend) available opportunities with private fund managers or other issuers of private investments (together “Private Investments”) to the appropriate clients. The Firm or its supervised persons make these introductions to Private Investments solely as an accommodation to clients and not as an investment advisory service. ASSETS As of December 31, 2023, CAN had a total of $95,753,862.68 of assets under management and advisement. Of these assets, the discretionary assets under management or advisement were $70,277,209.72 while the non-discretionary assets under management or advisement totaled $25,478,862.68.
