Rootstock Investment Management, LLC (“Rootstock”) was founded in 2013 as an investment and wealth management firm that focuses on high net worth individuals and various non-profit organizations. Gregory Simpson, CFA is the Principal Owner of the company and Director of Operations and Compliance. Rootstock’s mission is to provide conflict-free investment advice and comprehensive planning services to high net worth families and non-profit organizations. We believe that the elimination of conflicts of interest is paramount to the success of our clients and provides a higher level of trust throughout the client/advisor relationship. Within this framework, we provide 100% objective, unbiased advice regarding a clients’ investment portfolio, mortgage and lending relationships, banking services, insurance solutions, tax and estate planning advice or any relevant product or service(s). Rootstock is an organization that places great emphasis on partnering with our clients and delivering superior investment and wealth management results. Wealth Management. Rootstock provides investment advisory and wealth management services to individuals and related entities, including family trusts, family offices, foundations, corporations, and business entities. Rootstock’s financial professionals work closely with clients and their relationship team to develop a comprehensive wealth management strategy, focusing on the key areas of wealth creation and protection (investment returns, fees, taxes, turnover and risk). Client investment portfolios reflect the integration of Rootstock’s financial market outlook, the client’s income and spending needs, tax and estate planning objectives and other unique client preferences. Services provided to these advisory clients include identifying investment objectives and risk tolerance, developing and documenting asset allocation, investment policy

and investment strategy, implementing the investment strategy, performing regular administration, monitoring and reporting of financial assets and performing due diligence on traditional, hedge and alternative fund managers. Investment advisory and wealth management services are based on the Investment Advisory Agreement ("IAA") entered by an advisory client and Rootstock. Family Office. For some clients, Rootstock provides “family office” services, which include the organization of the client’s financial life, including bill payment, bookkeeping, document management and coordination of tax and investment matters. If you request, Rootstock may recommend the services of other professionals for implementation purposes. You are under no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional. You retain the absolute discretion over all such implementation decisions and are free to accept or reject any recommendations from Rootstock. If you engage any professional recommended by Rootstock, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such engagement, you agree to seek recourse exclusively from and against the engaged professional. Retirement Accounts. When Rootstock provides investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, Rootstock 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 Rootstock makes money creates some conflicts with your interests, so Rootstock operates under a special rule that requires Rootstock to act in your best interest and not put Rootstock’s interest ahead of yours. Assets Under Management. As of 12/31/2023, Rootstock has a total of $495,865,179 of assets under management, of which $98,618,548 is managed on a non-discretionary basis.
