ITEM 4A ADVISORY BUSINESS FOR INDIVIDUALS, TRUSTS, ESTATES, CORPORATIONS AND OTHER BUSINESS ENTITIES A portion of our financial planning and investment advisory practice focuses on working with individuals, trusts, estates, corporations and other business entities, as well as pension and profit-sharing plans, towards achieving their long-term financial planning and investment goals. Our financial planning and investment management process for individuals, trusts, estates, corporations and other business entities, as well as pension and profit-sharing plans has four distinct steps (all or some of which may be followed): 1) We and our client construct a comprehensive financial plan which we may refer to as a Capital Sufficiency Analysis or a Financial Plan. The result of the financial plan guides the rate of return that will be targeted in hopes of achieving the client’s long-term growth objectives and income needs. The targeted rate of return considers the long-term impact of inflation on the client’s objectives. We refer to this adjusted return as the real rate of return.
2) An Investment Plan is developed that integrates the client’s risk tolerance and investment constraints (such as need for current income) to the targeted real rate of return. A unique and Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure Page 5 of 16 customized strategy that is believed to have a high likelihood of success in achieving the client’s individualized goals is then presented to the client. 3) We utilize a highly diversified investment strategy, where we target a long-term Strategic Asset Allocation and use short-term tactical changes to the asset allocation (based on a three-to-five year outlook) to capitalize on near-term market opportunities.
4) Ongoing investment management requires that we correspond with our clients on a regular basis to review and gauge performance relative to the agreed upon targeted real rate of return, as well as to discuss changing goals, objectives, and income needs.
We believe that this process provides the foundation for the targeted investment strategy that is developed for each individual client. We believe that financial planning and investment advisory services require close and regular contact with our clients to assess their changing needs and to develop strategies for reaching both their short-term and long-term goals. In some cases, a client may choose not to incorporate all of the steps of the financial planning process described herein. In employing our investment strategy, we utilize mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, individual stocks, fixed income (bond) investments, and cash or cash equivalents in our portfolios. At times we consult with our clients on assets that they may bring to our management which are outside of those typically used in our strategy. Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of our clients. Clients can impose restrictions on investment in certain securities or certain types of securities. This is discussed in further detail in Item 8 (Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss). As of June 30, 2023, Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. managed approximately

$302,909,667 on a discretionary basis and approximately $15,420,561 on a non-discretionary basis for individuals, trusts, estates, corporations and other business entities, non-profit organizations and/or pension and profit sharing plans. A portion of our financial planning and investment advisory practice focuses on working with municipal entities and institutional investors towards achieving their long-term financial planning and investment goals. Our financial planning and investment management process has five distinct steps (all or some of which may be followed): 1) We and our client construct an overview of the entity’s financial position which we may refer to as a Financial Overview. The result of the financial overview guides the investment strategy that will be employed in hopes of achieving the client’s liquidity objectives while maximizing their investment return.
2) In consultation with the Client and other advisors or counsel retained by the Client, an Investment Strategy is developed that considers the client’s risk tolerance, and various investment constraints such as liquidity needs, permitted investments, IRS yield restrictions, etc. A unique and Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure Page 6 of 16 customized strategy that is believed to have a high likelihood of success in achieving the client’s individualized goals is then presented to the client. 3) We construct a highly individualized investment plan in which we consider the approved investment strategy as well as other aspects of an entity’s circumstances (creditworthiness, project expenses, timing of receipt of funds intended to be invested, flexibility with respect to amount and timing of funds to be withdrawn, etc.) and design a portfolio of investments that aims to maximize return through all appropriate investment products, while controlling credit, reinvestment and interest rate risk within the desired parameters.
4) We identify potential providers for each targeted investment and acquire the targeted investments for the benefit of the client using a competitive open-market bidding process.
5) Ongoing investment management requires that we correspond with our clients on a regular basis to review and gauge performance relative to the agreed upon Investment Strategy, as well as to discuss changing goals, objectives, and liquidity needs.
We believe that this process provides the foundation for the targeted investment strategy that is developed for each individual municipal client. We believe that financial planning and investment advisory services require close and regular contact with our clients to assess their changing needs and to develop strategies for reaching both their short-term and long-term goals. In some cases, a client may choose not to incorporate all the steps of the financial planning process described herein. In employing our asset management services for municipal entities, we utilize structured products, fixed income (bond) investments, and cash or cash equivalents in our portfolios. Causey Demgen & Moore P.C. tailors its advisory services to the individual needs and restrictions of our clients.
