IRA Rollover Recommendations Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor (“DOL”) Field Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 (“PTE 2020-02”) where applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to you. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are 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. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in your best interest. As of February 29, 2024, we provide continuous management services for approximately $818,127,536 in client assets on a discretionary basis, and approximately $10,726,729 in client assets on a non-discretionary basis. Financial Planning Services We provide financial planning services in the form of written modular and comprehensive plans, written financial reviews and consultations. An IAR of EFG will have an initial meeting with the client to discuss the client's situation and potential services. Written plans can include, but are not limited to the following areas of concern; educational and college planning, retirement funding and distribution planning, estate planning, business planning, individualized personal planning and insurance planning. Investment Management Services Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. EFG and its IARs provide investment management services through accounts maintained at Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. (Charles Schwab). Charles Schwab will maintain custody of all funds and securities, and neither EFG nor its IARs will have direct access to client funds and securities. Management services can be provided on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis.
