FIDUCIARY DUTY Investment advisors registered with the SEC or a state securities regulator are fiduciaries, subject to the duty of loyalty and due care with their clients. They are typically compensated by asset management fees and are expected to act in the best interests of their clients. A fiduciary must act in the best interests of a client. A fiduciary is an individual who acts in the interest of another person or an organization. A fiduciary may be an agent, a broker, an attorney or a legal guardian who has a responsibility to supervise matters on behalf of someone else. A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care. The person who has a fiduciary duty is called the fiduciary, and the person to whom he owes the duty, is typically referred to as the principal or the beneficiary. As a result, potential beneficiaries can have greater confidence in seeking out a fiduciary. FINANCIAL PLANNING We offer broad based consultative financial planning services. Financial plans are prepared based on the information you provide; and since your circumstances are constantly changing, your plan is regularly updated. The planning process occurs over a number of meetings, and begins with an initial consultation in which we meet with you to discuss your financial situation, goals, and concerns. Our plans cover a number of topic areas including retirement planning, estate planning, education planning, Form ADV Part 2A 5 March 1st, 2024 income tax planning, and cash flow planning. We also complete a comprehensive risk assessment and insurance needs analysis covering life, disability, and long-term care planning. If you choose to retain our Firm for these services, you have the option to implement the recommendations set forth in your financial plan through our Firm. Everyone who goes through the financial planning process with our Firm enters into a financial planning agreement which states the terms, conditions, and scope of our relationship. A modest initial planning fee is quoted based on expected staff preparation time and the complexity of your case. Clients wishing to use our Firm for investment management purposes do not pay for future and ongoing planning. Clients who would like to retain our Firm for financial planning services, but not investment management services, will be charged hourly fees not to exceed $1,000 per hour. The fees are negotiable, and will vary depending on the complexity and depth of the services provided. Under this arrangement, our Firm is under no obligation to update or monitor your financial plan, including your investment and insurance portfolios. The financial plan is based upon your financial situation and the information you provide to us at the time we prepare the plan. It is important that you notify us promptly if your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT We design investment plans that help grow and protect your wealth. By engaging you in a comprehensive financial planning process, we are better positioned to implement investment strategies that serve your long-term growth and spending needs. We believe in full transparency of transactions and investment holdings, and use individually managed accounts to provide you with flexibility and added security. By partnering with Fidelity Investments, we are able to offer a full menu of investment offerings, with the added comfort of some of the most trusted custodians in the industry. All investment decisions are guided by your individual risk tolerance and financial goals, and management of your accounts will be done on a discretionary basis. This means that you are authorizing us to make investment decisions in your individually managed account without obtaining your approval prior to each transaction. Under this authority, we have a fiduciary duty to put your interests above all others. This discretionary authority will enable us to maneuver your portfolio quickly to ever changing market conditions. We manage investment accounts using one or more variations of our three (3) distinct global asset allocation strategies:
• Enhanced Global Index
• Strategic Allocation
• Tactical Management These models are comprised of combinations of investment products which include: no-load open-ended investment company shares (“mutual funds”), exchange traded funds (“ETF’s”), fixed-income securities, and individual equities. Investments are selected based on past performance, manager tenure, portfolio turnover, fees, investment style, investment philosophy and objective; and a variety of investment related statistics including alpha, beta, standard deviation, and R-squared. Our Active Tactical strategy selects investments based, not only on the above criteria, but also uses price momentum, moving averages, and trading volume to identify security price trends. Form ADV Part 2A 6 March 1st, 2024 Our investment strategies are based on over forty (40) years of academic research that asset allocation is the primary driver of investment returns, not market timing or security selection. We believe that markets are primarily efficient, and for investing purposes, securities are fairly priced. Asset allocation, broad global diversification, and an unemotional approach to strategic rebalancing ultimately reduce portfolio risk. All investments carry risk; and generally the riskier the investment, the greater the potential return. Even investments that are perceived to be safe carry risk. For example, returns on certificates of deposit may not be able to protect against the impact of inflation and taxes, thus a loss in purchasing power occurs. If you wish to impose certain restrictions on investing in a certain security, or types of securities, we will address those restrictions with you so that we have a clear understanding of your requirements. However, we reserve the right to reject any account for which unreasonable or overly restrictive conditions are requested. It is our preference for you to use a combination of our various investment models. By entering into an investment advisory relationship with our Firm, you must agree to the terms of our “Discretionary Accounts Advisory Agreement.” This agreement sets forth the terms for managing your accounts, and may be canceled for any reason, at any time, by either party, upon receiving 30 days’ notice. Upon termination of an account’s advisory agreement, any prepaid, unearned fees will be reimbursed, and any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. Additionally all trading activity will stop. You have the sole right to terminate your advisory agreement without penalty, within five business days. INSURANCE SERVICES As part of our Firm’s overall financial planning services, an advisor may recommend changes to your life, health, disability,

or long-term care insurance coverage. You have the option to implement the insurance advice by purchasing a policy through our insurance agency. Through our insurance agency, we have access to a wide range of insurance carriers. When acting in the capacity of an insurance agent, the advisor may receive a normal and customary commission for the sale of such insurance products. In such instances, there is no advisory fee associated with these insurance products. FINANCIAL EDUCATION Our Firm has long been committed to financial education and financial literacy. Because of this commitment, we regularly hold financial education programs. These educational programs are held periodically throughout the year, and address a wide range of financial topics. Such topics include:
• Life Planning For Retirement
• Determining Retirement Expenses
• Overcoming Retirement Roadblocks
• Retirement Income Sources
• Investments
• Taxes
• Risk Management
• Estate Planning Our programs are educational in nature, and do not discuss any particular investment or product offering. Attendees are charged a fee to attend, which covers the cost of class materials and expenses.

The information used to generate the reports will be derived directly from information such as statements provided by Client, investment providers and/or third parties.

In such case, Advisor shall act only in accordance with instructions from the Client on investment or Plan administration matters and shall not exercise judgment or discretion.

Participant Education: Advisor will assist with participant education, which may include preparation of education materials and/or conducting investment education seminars and meetings for Plan participants. Such meetings may be on a group or individual basis, and may include information about the investment options under the Plan (e.g., investment objectives, risk/return characteristics, and historical performance), investment concepts (e.g., diversification, asset classes, and risk and return), and Form ADV Part 2A 8 March 1st, 2024 how to determine investment time horizons and assess risk tolerance. Such meetings shall not include specific investment advice about investment options under the Plan as being appropriate for a particular participant, but may include use of educational investment models. Plan Search Support/Vendor Analysis: Advisor will assist with the preparation, distribution and evaluation of Request for Proposals, finalist interviews, and conversion support. Benchmarking Services: Advisor will provide the Client with comparisons of Plan data (e.g., regarding fees, services, participant enrollment and contributions) and data from the Plan’s prior years and/or a benchmark group of similar plans. Assistance Identifying Plan Fees: Advisor will assist Client in identifying the fees and other costs borne by the Plan for, as specified by client, investment management, recordkeeping, participant education, participant communication and/or other services provided with respect to the Plan. Advisor may provide these services or, alternatively, may arrange for the Plan’s other providers to offer these services, as agreed upon between Adviser and Client. If the Plan makes available publicly traded employer stock (“company stock”) as an investment option under the Plan, advisors do not provide investment advice regarding company stock and are not responsible for the decision to offer company stock as an investment option. In addition, if participants in the Plan may invest the assets in their accounts through individual brokerage accounts, a mutual fund window, or other similar arrangement, or may obtain participant loans, representatives do not provide any individualized advice or recommendations to the participants regarding these decisions. Furthermore, advisors do not provide individualized investment advice to Plan participants regarding their Plan asset. If a client elects to engage our Firm and its advisors to perform ongoing investment monitoring and ongoing investment recommendation services in the client agreement, such services will constitute “investment advice” under Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA. Therefore, our Firm and its advisors will be deemed a “fiduciary” as such term is defined under Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA in connection with those services. Clients should understand that to the extent our Firm and its advisors are engaged to perform services other than ongoing investment monitoring and recommendations, those services are not “investment advice” under ERISA and therefore, our Firm and its advisors will not be a “fiduciary” under ERISA with respect to those other services.
