Types of Advisory Services Initial meetings are held to determine if our services can benefit you. Before we provide any advisory services, we must first enter into a written agreement with you, our Client Engagement Agreement. Thereafter, discussion and analysis will be conducted to determine such things as your financial needs, goals, values and beliefs, risk tolerance and capacity, holdings, and other financial and non-financial information. It is important that the information and/or financial statements you provide are accurate, as these form the basis of advice we will provide you. Our firm is not obligated to verify the information provided, which will then be used in the advisory process. Wealth Counseling and Investment Advisory Services Brilliant Advice’s Wealth Counseling services may include: 1. A discovery process that seeks to determine what is important to you and your priorities, in an effort to help improve your financial decisions and outcomes. We may consider factors such as your personal situation, income needs, time horizon, liquidity needs, legal and tax constraints, risk tolerance, inter-generational issues, and special needs. 2. A collaborative financial planning process that is designed to create a roadmap as you seek to reach your priorities. The financial planning process may include a review of your cash flow and expenses, income tax analysis, review and analysis of employer benefits, life transitions and probability analysis, educational funding analysis, estate planning analysis, risk management review and your unique circumstances. Our models test how well your desired expenses match your expected financial resources. Financial planning is a process not a product and each client is unique. No additional fees are charged for this portion of the process. 3. Financial data and documents into an online client portal that is accessible on any device 24 hours per day, seven days per week. A portfolio position summary and risk analysis. 4. Creating an investment plan that seeks to achieve your financial objectives. 5.

Not every client makes use of all Brilliant Advice’s services, as some are not requested, not necessary or are being provided by other professionals. In performing its services, Brilliant Advice is not required to verify any information received from you or from your other professionals. Please be advised that it remains your responsibility to promptly notify Brilliant Advice when there is any change in your financial situation and/or financial objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising Brilliant Advice’s previous recommendations and/or services. Brilliant Advice and its investment advisor representatives will use its best judgment and good faith effort in rendering its services. Brilliant Advice cannot warrant or guarantee the achievement of a planning goal or any particular level of account performance or that your account will be profitable over time. Although Brilliant Advice generally recommends long-term investment strategies, we may recommend various short-term investment strategies to accommodate certain client goals or objectives. Past

performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The Client Engagement Agreement you sign with our firm gives us discretionary authority to manage your account(s). Discretionary authorization on your account(s) is also granted by each account custodian, with your approval, by signing a limited power of attorney and/or trading authorization forms. Discretionary authorization will allow our firm to determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased and sold for your account without your approval prior to each transaction. We are also authorized to issue instructions to the account custodian(s) for operational matters of the account(s) without your approval. You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased for your account, or requesting the retention or avoidance of specific securities) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing, typically on the Investment Strategy Statement. In an effort to efficiently and timely deliver our services to our clients we do not offer non-discretionary services, except on specific accounts or for specific legacy or client selected assets as part of an overall discretionary relationship. In such situations, we may reduce our cost of services. When Brilliant Advice provides investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, Brilliant Advice is a fiduciary 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 Brilliant Advice makes money creates some conflicts with your interests, so Brilliant Advice operates under a special rule that requires Brilliant Advice to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Limited Consulting/Implementation Services: To the extent specifically requested by the client, Brilliant Advice may provide limited consultation services to its clients on investment and non-investment related matters, such as estate planning, tax planning, insurance, etc. Brilliant Advice shall not receive any separate or additional fee for any such consultation services unless mutually agreed to prior to providing. Brilliant Advice does not provide legal or tax advice, make loans, or offer accounting or insurance services. Neither Brilliant Advice, nor any of its representatives, serves as an attorney, accountant, or licensed insurance agent. Brilliant Advice may recommend other professionals (e.g. lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, bankers, other advisors, etc.) at your request. You are under no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional. Please note that if you engage any such recommended professional, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such engagement, you agree to seek recourse exclusively from and against the engaged professional. Where appropriate, Brilliant Advice’s advisors will work with your other professionals to ensure effective execution of suggested strategies. Brilliant Advice represents that there are no conflicts of interest in this process, however, should any ever arise they will be disclosed to you and managed in your best interest. Client Obligations: In performing its services, Brilliant Advice shall not be required to verify any information received from you or from your other professionals, and is expressly authorized to rely upon the information so provided. Moreover, you are advised that it remains your responsibility to promptly notify Brilliant Advice if there is ever any change in your financial situation or investment objectives so that Brilliant Advice, if necessary, can re-evaluate or revise any previous recommendations or services we provided to you. Disclosure Statement: A copy of this Brochure will be provided to you prior to, or at the same time as, the execution of the Client Engagement Agreement. Securities Class Actions and Proofs of Claim: Brilliant Advice is not obligated to file, nor will it act in any legal capacity with respect to class action settlements or related proofs of claim. If requested by you, Brilliant Advice will do its best to provide you with the required documentation, if available. For clients that would like assistance to help monitor and file class action litigation claims, Brilliant Advice uses the services of Chicago Clearing Corporation (“CCC”), a company that specializes in the field of Class Action Claims. For clients that request the service, Brilliant Advice periodically provides CCC with the transaction history for the client’s accounts and CCC subsequently monitors for any claims activity related to the securities that have been purchased in the client’s account. CCC will monitor each claim that applies to the client, collect the applicable documentation, interpret the terms of each settlement, file the appropriate claim form, interact with the administrators and distributes any award due for the client’s benefit. For their services, CCC charges a contingency fee of 20%, which is subtracted from the client’s award when it is paid. When a claim develops, CCC communicates directly with the claims administrator to file the claim on the client’s behalf. CCC warrants that any specific client information they receive will be maintained as confidential and will not be used or disclosed for any reason, except for the completion of the claim itself. Customized Services Brilliant Advice provides investment advisory services specific to the needs of each client. The selection of investment vehicles may vary from one client to another. Prior to providing investment advisory services, an investment adviser representative will ascertain each client’s investment objective(s). Thereafter, Brilliant Advice shall allocate and/or recommend that the client allocate investment assets consistent with the designated investment objective(s). You may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions, in writing, on Brilliant Advice’s services. Wrap Fee Program Brilliant Advice does not participate in a wrap fee program. Under a typical wrap-fee program, a client will pay the sponsor a single fee for management, brokerage, custody and other services provided under the program. Regulatory Assets Under Management As of March 29, 2023, Brilliant Advice managed $83,278,339 million in regulatory assets under management. Discretionary assets totaled $82,631,822 and non-discretionary assets totaled $646,517.
