Since GI is the sub-advisor to the Tactical Portfolio and will receive an annual fee of 0.20% from the ETF, GI has reduced its annual fee of the Tactical Portfolio so as not to double dip. A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 4 -  For example, a Client investing $100,000 in the GI Tactical portfolio prior to November 2022 would pay an annual fee to GI of $2,000 or $100,000 x 2.00% = $2,000. After November 2022 the same client would pay GI an annual fee of $1,600 or $100,000 x 1.60% = $1,600 and pay the internal fees of $200 or $100,000 x 0.20% = $200. For a total of $1,600 + $200 = $1,800.

Client or Client’s advisor shall have the responsibility of notifying the Manager of related Family Accounts. Manager has sole discretion to accept accounts as related Family Accounts for purposes of aggregating such Accounts for billing. The Fee shall be paid each calendar quarter in advance commencing on the funding date of the Account or on the date active management of the Account by Manager starts, whichever is later. The Fee shall be calculated based on the market value as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding quarter and shall be based on the Account’s total fair market value as determined by the Manager*. For periods less than a full calendar quarter the Fee will be pro-rated by dividing the actual calendar days under management by the total actual calendar days in the quarter. If an Account is terminated, Manager will provide a ratable refund of prepaid fees for the period from the date of termination through the end of the then-current quarter. Client hereby authorizes the Manager to send a statement/invoice to the Client’s Intermediary in advance as of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, and the Intermediary shall remit payment to Manager promptly. If requested, Manager shall also send a statement/invoice to the Client. On the condition that Manager has received all permissions, documentation, and/or evidence of authorization Manager deems reasonably necessary, Client authorizes Manager to deduct the Fee directly from the Client’s custodial account quarterly in advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, Client shall be solely responsible for prompt payment of the Fee. *In computing the fair market value of any asset, each security listed on any national securities exchange will be valued at its closing sales price at the close of business on the valuation date (or, if the valuation date is not a trading day, the price as of the close of business on the previous trading day). Listed securities not traded on such date, and any unlisted security regularly traded in an over-the-counter market, shall be valued at the latest A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 8 -  available bid price quotation furnished to Manager by such sources as it may deem appropriate. Any other property shall be valued in such manner as determined by Manager in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Client Payment of Fees Asset management fees are billed quarterly in arrears. Fees for financial plans are due at the signing of the agreement. Asset management fees on the Betterment platform are billed monthly in arrears. Fees for asset management services provided by TPM are deducted from a designated Client account by TPM to facilitate billing. The Client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment account. Additional Client Fees Charged Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds, equities and exchange-traded funds. These charges may include mutual fund transactions fees, postage and handling and miscellaneous fees (fee levied to recover costs associated with fees assessed by self-regulatory organizations). These transaction charges are usually small and incidental to the purchase or sale of a security. The selection of the security is more important than the nominal fee that the custodian charges to buy or sell the security. A4, in its sole discretion, may waive its minimum fee and/or charge a lesser investment advisory fee based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets, anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with Clients, etc.). For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure. Prepayment of Client Fees Fees for financial plans are due upon Client signing the agreement. External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients A4 does not receive any external compensation for the sale of securities to Clients, nor do any of the investment advisor representatives of A4. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees Sharing of Capital Gains Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed securities. A4 does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the potential conflict of interest. Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for the adviser to recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the Client. A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 9 -  Item 7: Types of Clients Description A4 generally provides investment advice to individuals, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, estates, or charitable organizations, corporations or business entities. Client relationships vary in scope and length of service. Account Minimums A4 requires a minimum of $500,000 to open an account. A4 in its sole discretion may waive the minimum and accept accounts of a lesser value. Some third party money managers used by A4 may have a minimum to open an account. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and cyclical analysis. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that Clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Fundamental analysis involves evaluating a stock using real data such as company revenues, earnings, return on equity, and profit margins to determine underlying value and potential growth. Technical analysis involves evaluating securities based on past prices and volume. Cyclical analysis involves analyzing the cycles of the market. When creating a financial plan, A4 utilizes fundamental analysis to provide review of insurance policies for economic value and income replacement. Technical analysis is used to review mutual funds and individual stocks. The main sources of information include Morningstar, Client documents such as tax returns and insurance policies. In developing a financial plan for a Client, A4’s analysis may include cash flow analysis, investment planning, risk management, tax planning and estate planning. Based on the information gathered, a detailed strategy is tailored to the Client’s specific situation. The main sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, research materials prepared by others, corporate rating services, annual reports, prospectuses, and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investment Strategy The investment strategy for a specific Client is based upon the objectives stated by the Client during consultations. The Client may change these objectives at any time. Each Client executes an Investment Policy Statement or Risk Tolerance that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy. Other strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases and trading. Security Specific Material Risks Fundamental analysis may involve interest rate risk, market risk, business risk, and financial risk. Risks involved in technical analysis are inflation risk, reinvestment risk, and market risk. Cyclical analysis involves inflation risk, market risk, and currency risk. A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 10 -  All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment risks and should discuss these risks with A4: • Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to decline. • Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic and social conditions may trigger market events. • Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation. • Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as exchange rate risk. • Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed income securities. • Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of profitability than an electric company which generates its income from a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like. • Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are not. • Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value. • Non-Traded REITs Risk: Absence of a public market, lack of liquidity, no guarantee of a distribution and no connection between the share price of the REIT and the net asset value of the REIT until the assets are valued by the Board of Directors. • Option Risk: The risk with option buying are the risk of losing your entire investment in a relatively short period time and losing your entire investment as the option goes out of the money and as expiration nears. The risk with option A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 11 -  selling is options sold may be exercised at any time before expiration and forgoing the right to profit when the underlying stock rises above the strike price of the call option sold. The risks associated with utilizing Sub-Advisors include: • Manager Risk o Sub-Advisor fails to execute the stated investment strategy • Business Risk o Sub-Advisor has financial or regulatory problems The specific risks associated with the portfolios of the Sub-Advisor’s which is disclosed in the Sub-Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2. Item 9: Disciplinary Information Criminal or Civil Actions A4 and its management have not been involved in any criminal or civil action. its management have not been involved in administrative enforcement Administrative Enforcement Proceedings A4 and proceedings. Self-Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings A4 and its management have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events related to past or present investment Clients. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration Neither A4 nor any of its employees are registered representatives of a broker-dealer. Futures or Commodity Registration Neither A4 nor its employees are registered or has an application pending to register as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or a commodity trading advisor. Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest Managing Member John Balcerzak has an additional business as an insurance agent. Approximately 30% of Mr. Balcerzak’s time is spent in this practice. From time to time, he will offer Clients advice or products from those activities. These practices represent conflicts of interest because it gives Mr. Balcerzak an incentive to recommend products based on the commission amount received. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to place the interest of the Client first and the Clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients have the option to purchase these products through another insurance agent or land developer of their choosing. John Balcerzak is also a Managing Member and Vice President of Sunset Cove Enterprises LLC, a land development company. Less than 5% of his time is spent in this business. As no clients will invest in this, there is no conflict of interest. A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 12 -  A4 offers several cash account/cash management programs. The Cantor Fitzgerald Insured Cash Account Program, Max Advisor Account through Six Trees Capital LLC and Goldman Sachs. Cantor Fitzgerald Insured Cash Account A4 acts as an “Intermediary” for a deposit bank account program established and administered by StoneCastle Network, LLC of which CF Cash, LLC is the introducing party. This program is called the Cantor Fitzgerald Insured Cash Account Program through which Clients can make a deposit(s) with a custodian of the program with the intention that such amount will have 100% FDIC insurance coverage. A4 is compensated by StoneCastle Network, LLC an administrative fee equal to an annualized fee of 0.25% of the average daily balance of the amounts in the account for the applicable month. Fees are paid monthly in arrears. Clients may cancel at any time by providing notice to StoneCastle Network, LLC. A4 will be compensated by StoneCastle Max Advisor Account A4 has entered into an agreement with Six Trees Capital LLC to provide an online cash management platform to Clients, “Max Advisor Account”. A4 will assist Client in assessing the optimal allocation of their cash across two or more bank accounts on the platform. A4 charges an annual fee between 0.25% and 0.50% of the cash balance in the accounts. Fees are charged quarterly in arrears based on the account balances as of the last day of the previous quarter. Goldman Sachs A4 does not charge a fee on Goldman Sachs accounts. These practices represent conflicts of interest because it gives an incentive to recommend products based on the fees received. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to place the interest of the Client first and the Clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients have the option to purchase these products through another bank of their choosing. Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of Interest A4 has a dual agreement with clients to refer TPMs/Co-Advisors to manage Client accounts. In such circumstances, A4 receives referral fees from the TPM/Co-Advisor or charges fees in addition to the fees charged by the TPM/Co-Advisor. These fees do not include brokerage fees that may be assessed by the custodial broker dealer. Fees for these services are based on a percentage of assets under management. This situation creates a conflict of interest in recommending a manager who shares a larger portion of its advisory fees over another manager. However, when referring Clients to a TPM/Co-Advisor, the Client’s best interest will be the main determining factor of A4. Client may obtain these services through another party whose fees may be higher or lower than A4. Client may receive these services for a lower fee if obtained directly with the TPM/Co-Advisor. A4 may also utilize the services of a Sub-Advisor to manage Clients’ investment portfolios. Sub-Advisors will maintain the models or investment strategies agreed upon between Sub- Advisor and A4. Sub-Advisors execute all trades on behalf of A4 in Client accounts. A4 will A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 13 -  be responsible for the overall direct relationship with the Client. A4 retains the authority to terminate the Sub-Advisor relationship at A4’s discretion. In addition to the authority granted to A4 under the Agreement, Client will grant A4 full discretionary authority and authorizes A4 to select and appoint one or more independent investment advisors (“Advisors”) to provide investment advisory services to Client without prior consultation with or the prior consent of Client. Such Advisors shall have all of the same authority relating to the management of Client’s investment accounts as is granted to A4 in the Agreement. In addition, at A4’s discretion, A4 may grant such Advisors full authority to further delegate such discretionary investment authority to additional Advisors. This practice represents a conflict of interest as A4 may select Sub-Advisors who charge a lower fee for their services than other Sub-Advisors. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and by the fact that A4 has a fiduciary duty to place the best interest of the Client first and will adhere to their code of ethics. A4 may terminate any of the aforementioned agreements at any time by notifying the Client in writing. If the Client made an advance payment, A4 will refund any unearned portion of the advance payment. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics Description The employees of A4 have committed to a Code of Ethics. The purpose of our Code of Ethics is to ensure that when employees buy or sell securities for their personal account, they do not create actual or potential conflicts with our Clients. We do not allow any employees to use non-public material information for their personal profit or to use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to our Clients. One area the Code addresses is when employees buy or sell securities for their personal accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our Clients. We do not allow any employees to use non-public material information for their personal profit or to use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to our Clients. A4’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non-public or inside information. No advisory representative or other employee, officer or director of A4 may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory Clients or engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory representative possesses material, non-public information regarding the security. A4’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the Client are our top priority. A4’s officers, directors, advisors, and other employees have a fiduciary duty to our Clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust and confidence of our Clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the Client’s interests over the interests of either employees or the company. The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are employees who have access to non-public information regarding any Clients' purchase or sale of securities, or non-public A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 14 -  to Clients, or who have access information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, who are involved in making securities recommendations to such recommendations that are non-public. A4 will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any Client or prospective Client upon request. Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of Interest A4 and its employees do not recommend to Clients securities in which we have a material financial interest. Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of Interest A4 and its employees may buy or sell securities that are also held by Clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as heading away of Client trades, employees are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions. The Chief Compliance Officer of A4 is Heather Fowler. She reviews all employee trades each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of employees does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive preferential treatment over employee transactions. Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest A4 does not maintain a firm proprietary trading account and does not have a material financial interest in any securities being recommended and therefore no conflicts of interest exist. However, employees may buy or sell securities at the same time they buy or sell securities for Clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running, employees are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions. The Chief Compliance Officer of A4 is Heather Fowler. She reviews all employee trades each quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of employees does not affect the markets and that Clients of the firm receive preferential treatment over employee transactions. Item 12: Brokerage Practices Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions A4 may recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer or may utilize a broker-dealer of the Client's choosing. A4 will select appropriate brokers based on a number of factors including but not limited to their relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability. A4 relies on its broker to provide its execution services at the best prices available. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients pay for any and all custodial fees in addition to the advisory fee charged by A4. A4 generally recommends that clients establish brokerage accounts with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. While we recommend A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 15 -  Schwab as the primary custodian, we may, at times, execute trades through broker-dealers other than Schwab when we believe that doing so will result in best execution for the client. Trading Away From Schwab In certain circumstances, A4 may “trade away” from Schwab – executing client trades though a different broker-dealer rather than Schwab-when A4 determines that another broker-dealer can provide better pricing or execution on a specific security. This typically applies to fixed income securities or other less liquid investments. When A4 trades away from Schwab, Schwab may charge the client a “trade-away” or “dealer service” fee, in addition to any commission or markup charged by the executing broker-dealer. A4 does not receive any compensation, soft dollars, or other benefits from the broker-dealer executing the trade. Clients should be aware that while A4 strives to achieve best execution, trading away may result in additional transaction costs. A4 reviews execution quality on an ongoing basis to ensure that trading away is used prudently an in the Client’s best interest. • Directed Brokerage In circumstances where a Client directs A4 to use a certain broker-dealer, A4 still has a fiduciary duty to its Clients. The following may apply with Directed Brokerage: A4's inability to negotiate commissions, to obtain volume discounts, there may be a disparity in commission charges among Clients and conflicts of interest arising from brokerage firm referrals. • Best Execution Investment advisors who manage or supervise Client portfolios on a discretionary basis have a fiduciary obligation of best execution. A4 does not exercise discretion of Client accounts. • Soft Dollar Arrangements The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as arrangement under which products or services other than execution services are obtained by A4 from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing Client transactions to the broker-dealer. As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, A4 may receive economic benefits as a result of commissions generated from securities transactions by the broker-dealer from the accounts of A4. These benefits include both proprietary research from the broker and other research written by third parties. A conflict of interest exists when A4 receives soft dollars. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to act in the best interest of his Clients and the services received are beneficial to all Clients. Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts A4 is not authorized to aggregate purchases and sales and other transactions. A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 16 -  Item 13: Review of Accounts Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory Persons Involved Account reviews are performed quarterly by Heather Fowler, Chief Compliance Officer. Account reviews are performed more frequently when market conditions dictate. Financial Plans are considered complete when recommendations are delivered to the Client and a review is done only upon request of Client. Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis Other conditions that may trigger a review of Clients’ accounts are changes in the tax laws, new investment information, and changes in a Client's own situation. Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency Clients receive account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts. Account statements are issued by the custodian. Clients receive confirmations of each transaction in account from Custodian and an additional statement during any month in which a transaction occurs. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation Economic benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts of Interest As part of a Client’s entire portfolio, a portion may be allocated to a REIT from various REIT companies. A4 is not affiliated with any of the REIT companies and A4 provides no services other than referring appropriate Clients to invest. In connection with investing in REITs, A4 may use marketing materials to inform Clients about these investment options with the various companies. A4 may receive marketing support payments in the form of reimbursements for bona fide, reasonable marketing expenses incurred in connection with marketing the Shares. The amount of any marketing support payments, if any, shall be determined by the REIT company, in its sole discretion, but in any event, may not be greater than the bona fide reasonable expenses incurred by A4 and in no event shall be excessive or lavish, or otherwise call into question the propriety of the payments. In addition, financial consultants may be eligible for cash and non-cash compensation including bonuses, recognition trips and other benefits. Some of these programs may be financed in whole or in part by unaffiliated third parties, including TPMs, which may influence some representatives to favor those managers. See the prior sections entitled “Fees and Compensation” and “Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations” for more details regarding compensation and conflicts of interests. The payment of marketing support, or the determination of the amount paid pursuant thereto, if any, shall not be conditioned upon any specific generation requirement or investment in the Shares, nor shall any such payment be made in recognition of prior business generation. This represents a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to market this investment. The conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation and by the fact that Clients are not required to invest in this product and may invest with another investment advisor of their choosing. A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 17 -  A4’s investment advisor representatives may receive certain benefits from Gradient Investments, LLC (and/or its affiliated companies) based on achieving certain production thresholds. These thresholds are not based on the sale of any specific product or specific product type. These incentives include marketing assistance, access to technology, office support, and business trainings and trips. While some of these benefit the client, such as technology and training, some do not. This creates a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to the representative to meet this threshold. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures and the firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first. Clients are not required to use Gradient Investments, LLC or any of its affiliated companies. On occasion, an outside party may provide economic benefits by paying for all or a portion of a meeting hosted by A4 such as a client appreciation event, sales seminar or training meeting. The outside parties that have provided economic benefits to A4 are StratCap Securities, LLC and Apollo Global Management, Inc. This economic benefit is not tied to any specific sales quota. The receipt of cash or non-cash compensation from an outside party creates a conflict of interest when making investment recommendations for clients. This conflict is mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s fiduciary obligation to place the best interest of the Client first. Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals A4 does not compensate for Client referrals. Item 15: Custody Account Statements All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account statements directly to Clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are urged to compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to the performance report statements prepared by the TPM. A4 is deemed to have limited custody because advisory fees are directly deducted from Clients’ account by the custodian on behalf of A4. A4 is also deemed to have limited custody due to its Third-Party Standing Letters of Authorization (“SLOA”). A4 and its qualified custodian meet the following seven (7) conditions in order to avoid maintaining full custody and be subject to the surprise exam requirement: 1. The Client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the Client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed. A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 18 -  2. The Client authorizes A4, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time. 3. The Client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a signature review or other method to verify the Client’s authorization and provides a transfer of funds notice to the Client promptly after each transfer. 4. The Client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the Client’s qualified custodian. 5. A4 has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the Client’s instruction. 6. A4 maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party nor located at the same address as A4. 7. The Client’s qualified custodian sends the Client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction. Item 16: Investment Discretion Discretionary Authority for Trading If applicable, Client will authorize A4 discretionary authority, via the advisory agreement, to determine, without obtaining specific Client consent, the securities to be bought or sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. If applicable, Client will authorize A4 discretionary authority to execute selected investment program transactions as stated within the Investment Advisory Agreement. If however, consent for discretion is not given, A4 will obtain prior Client approval before executing each transaction. A4 allows Client’s to place certain restrictions, as outlined in the Client’s Investment Policy Statement or similar document. Such restrictions could include only allowing purchases of socially conscious investments. These restrictions must be provided to A4 in writing. The Client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the custodian. A4 does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid by the Client to the custodian. Item 17: Voting Client Securities Proxy Votes A4 does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies. The Client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a transfer agent. A4 Wealth Advisors LLC - 19 -  Item 18: Financial Information Balance Sheet A balance sheet is not required to be provided because A4 does not serve as a custodian for Client funds or securities and A4 does not require prepayment of fees of more than $1200 per Client and six months or more in advance. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet Commitments to Clients A4 has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to our Clients. Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years Neither A4 nor its management has had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years.
