5 | P a g e written summary of our observations and recommendations. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of the client signing a contract with us, assuming that all the information and documents we request from the client are provided to us promptly. Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client. (iii) Pension Consulting: We provide pension consulting services to employer plan sponsors on an on-going or one- time basis. Generally, such pension consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in establishing, monitoring and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising could include investment options, plan structure, and participant education. All pension consulting services shall be in compliance with the applicable state law(s) regulating pension consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are pension or other employee benefit plans (“Plan”) governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the client accounts are part of a Plan, and we accept appointments to provide our services to such accounts, we acknowledge that we are a fiduciary within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA (but only with respect to the provision of services described in section 1 of the Pension Consulting Agreement). (iv) Portfolio Monitoring: Our Portfolio Monitoring Service provides for safekeeping/housekeeping of assets on behalf of clients with no on-going supervision, trading, or discretion with respect to securities transactions. Clients are responsible for placing and executing their own trades, either on their own or with another investment adviser. Clients may also contact CORE Financial for assistance placing and executing trades. We provide non-continuous and periodic outside account monitoring. (v) Institutional Intelligent Portfolios: We provide portfolio management services through Institutional Intelligent Portfolios™, an automated, online investment management platform for use by independent investment advisors and sponsored by Schwab Wealth Investment Advisory, Inc. (the "Program" and "SWIA," respectively). Through the Program, we offer clients a range of investment strategies we have constructed and manage, each consisting of a portfolio of exchange traded funds (" ETFs") and a cash allocation. The client may instruct us to exclude up to three ETFs from their portfolio. The client's portfolio is held in a brokerage account opened by the client at SWIA's affiliate, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("CS & Co"). We are independent of and not owned by, affiliated with, or sponsored or supervised by SWIA, CS & Co, or their affiliates (together, "Schwab"). The Program is described in the Schwab Wealth Investment Advisory, Inc. Institutional Intelligent Portfolios™ Disclosure Brochure (the "Program Disclosure Brochure"), which is delivered to clients by SWIA during the online enrollment process. We, and not Schwab, are the client's investment advisor and primary point of contact with respect to the Program. We are solely responsible, and Schwab is not responsible, for determining the appropriateness of the Program for the client, choosing a suitable investment strategy and portfolio for the client's investment needs and goals, and managing that portfolio on an ongoing basis. SWIA's role is limited to delivering the Program Disclosure 6 | P a g e Brochure to clients and administering the Program so that it operates as described in the Program Disclosure Brochure. We have contracted with SWIA to provide us with the technology platform and related trading and account management services for the Program. This platform enables us to make the Program available to clients online and includes a system that automates certain key parts of our investment process (the "System"). The System includes an online questionnaire that helps us determine the client's investment objectives and risk tolerance and select an appropriate investment strategy and portfolio. Clients should note that we will recommend a portfolio via the System in response to the client's answers to the online questionnaire. The client may then indicate an interest in a portfolio that is one level less or more conservative or aggressive than the recommended portfolio, but

we then make the final decision and select a portfolio based on all the information we have about the client. The System also includes an automated investment engine through which we manage the client's portfolio on an ongoing basis through automatic rebalancing and tax-loss harvesting (if the client is eligible and elects). We do not receive a portion of a wrap fee for our services to clients through the Program. Clients do not pay fees to SWIA in connection with the Program, [but we charge clients a fee for our services as described below under Item 5: Fees and Compensation. Our fees are not set or supervised by Schwab.] Clients do not pay brokerage commissions or any other fees to Schwab as part of the Program. Schwab does receive other revenues in connection with the Program, as described in the Program Disclosure Brochure. B. Explanation of whether (and, if so, how) we tailor our advisory services to the individual needs of clients, whether clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. (i) Individual Tailoring of Advice to Clients: We offer individualized investment advice to clients utilizing our Comprehensive Portfolio Management and Institutional Intelligent Portfolios services. Additionally, we offer general investment advice to clients utilizing our Financial Consulting, Portfolio Monitoring, and Pension Consulting services. (ii) Ability of Clients to Impose Restrictions on Investing in Certain Securities or Types of Securities: Each client can place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account. Restrictions are limited to our Comprehensive Portfolio Management and Institutional Intelligent Portfolios services. We do not manage assets through our other services.
