Cookson Peirce & Co., Inc. (“CooksonPeirce Wealth Management” or “CooksonPeirce”) is a fee- only money management firm founded in June 1984. CooksonPeirce is privately held by three principal owners, Bruce Miller, Daniel Henderson and Cory Krebs. We provide wealth management and financial planning services to individuals, high-net worth individuals, trusts, endowments, pensions and foundations. We refer to these clients as “private clients”. As a private client you will have a direct relationship with CooksonPeirce. We also provide asset management services to professional advisors at non-affiliated financial institutions. We refer to this group of clients as “institutional clients”. Private Clients: As a private client you will sign an investment advisory agreement directly with CooksonPeirce. Our investment management services for private clients include conducting an initial review of your financial situation, including your specific goals, investment objectives and risk tolerance. Portfolios will be constructed using stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and bonds invested in one of our model investment strategies as described in Item 8. Clients may impose restrictions in certain securities or groups of securities. Please note, based on the increased risk and volatility, private client assets invested in the Short-Term Aggressive strategy, will be limited to no more than fifty percent of the clients’ assets. As part of this process, CooksonPeirce offers financial planning services, including tax and retirement planning. We gather information through interviews and questionnaires to understand your financial situation and determine your financial goals. Information gathered includes income, retirement plans, assets, taxes, investments, insurance policies, trusts, wills, future goals and related documents. Based on the information and documents reviewed, we assist you in designing a plan to help pursue your stated financial goals and objectives. CooksonPeirce receives no additional compensation for financial plans. CooksonPeirce may also provide estate planning for some clients by providing an estate tax analysis. We will review current documents and may recommend basic estate tax saving strategies and demonstrate hypothetical results. If updates or new documents are recommended, CooksonPeirce may recommend the services of other professionals. The client is free to accept or reject any recommendation. CooksonPeirce and its representatives do not serve as attorneys and the services should not be construed as legal advice. CooksonPeirce receives no additional compensation for estate planning advice or consulting services. InvestStronger: CooksonPeirce offers discretionary management to private clients who are below our account minimum through an automated investment advisory solution, known as Invest Stronger. The minimum account size for this service is $5,000. Clients complete a brief online questionnaire to assess their risk tolerance and investment needs. The Invest Stronger portfolios consist of three diversified portfolios composed of exchange traded funds and a cash allocation. Based on your personal risk tolerance, you will choose from one of the three investment portfolio options. These portfolios are developed and overseen by the CooksonPeirce’s portfolio management team. The portfolios and underlying investments are regularly monitored and rebalanced monthly. Once enrolled you can update your investment profile and monitor your accounts through a customized dashboard. Institutional Clients: Our services for professional advisors are restricted to the management of stock and ETF portfolios. This is generally done as a sub-advisor to an open-end mutual fund or as a portfolio manager within a wrap fee program. CooksonPeirce serves as a portfolio manager in a number of wrap fee programs. The sponsors of programs include, but is not limited to: (i) Raymond James’ Consulting Services Program; (ii) UBS Financials’ Managed Accounts Consulting Program; (iii) RBC’s MAP Program; (iv) LPL’s Manager Select/Manager Access Select Program; (v) Wells Fargo’s Private Advisor Network; and (vi) Smithfield Trust. These wrap fee programs are arrangements

in which investment advisory service, brokerage execution services and custody are provided by a sponsor for a single predetermined “wrap” fee (regardless of the number of trades completed by a client). Generally, clients participating in a wrap fee program (“Wrap Program Clients”) pay this single, all-inclusive fee quarterly in advance to the program sponsor, based on the net assets under management. CooksonPeirce receives from the program sponsor a portion of the wrap fee for the portfolio management services it provides. Each program sponsor has prepared a brochure which contains detailed information about its wrap fee program, including the wrap fee charged. Copies of each brochure are available from the program sponsor upon request. Each wrap program sponsor has retained CooksonPeirce through a separate investment advisory contract. In some instances, you may sign an agreement directly with CooksonPeirce. Wrap Program Clients should note that CooksonPeirce will execute transactions for their accounts through the Wrap Sponsor. Transactions executed through a Wrap Sponsor may be less favorable in some respects than CooksonPeirce’s clients whose trades are not executed through the Wrap Sponsor. This is because CooksonPeirce may have no ability to negotiate price or take advantage of combined orders or volume discounts. CooksonPeirce may be constrained in obtaining best execution for Wrap Program Clients by sending trades to the Wrap Sponsor. CooksonPeirce serves as sub-advisor to an open-end mutual fund, the Catalyst Dynamic Alpha Fund “Fund”. This Fund is managed pursuant to the investment strategy and restrictions as described in the prospectus. For the investment management of the Fund, CooksonPeirce receives an investment management fee and administrative fees from the Fund and/or reimbursement of operating expenses by the Fund. CooksonPeirce does not provide tailored investment advisory services to the individual investors in the Fund. However, it is possible that some of CooksonPeirce’s private client assets may be invested in the Fund if, in the determination of the portfolio manager, such an investment is suitable for the client. In these cases, as explained below under Fees and Compensation, the management fee from individual clients invested in the Fund is waived. For all clients we utilize a quantitative selection methodology in constructing our portfolios to eliminate subjective and emotional decision making. The security selection methodology is highly replicable and produces clear buy, hold and sell recommendations for every security monitored in our database. These rankings are utilized to create unconstrained investment portfolios which aim to tactically allocate towards those areas of the market ranked to outperform.
