AIM is based in North Carolina and was organized as a Limited Liability Company under the laws of the State of North Carolina in 2013. The firm registered as an investment adviser in 2023 and currently has 5 employees. AIM’s principal office and place of business is located at 421 N. Harrington Street, Suite 630, Raleigh, NC 27603. Regular business hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. The firm can be contacted by phone at (919)-758-8911. The firm is owned by Matthew Archer and Nina Stibbs, both Managing Members of the firm. Mr. Archer also serves as AIM’s Chief Compliance Officer. AIM provides ongoing discretionary portfolio management services to individuals, families and businesses. When providing discretionary portfolio management services, the firm not only makes decisions related to investments, but also implements these recommendations and provides ongoing monitoring and reporting. The firm may also delegate certain management responsibilities to outside managers either under a sub-advisory arrangement or under a joint advisory arrangement. AIM also provides non-management investment advisory services to individuals, families and businesses where the firm makes ongoing investment recommendations, but the client is responsible for determining whether or not to implement recommendations, and if they decide to do so, are responsible for actual implementation. Additionally, the firm provides project oriented and ongoing financial planning services to individuals and families where the firm offers advice or other strategic assistance in areas such as education funding, retirement planning, estate planning, risk management, employee benefits planning, tax planning, etc. When engaged to provide financial planning assistance, clients are responsible for determining whether or not to implement a recommendation, and if they decide to do so, are responsible for implementation. The details of an engagement vary on a case by case basis depending on the complexity of the client’s financial situation. Generally, however, an engagement involves identification of goals and objectives, collection and analysis of data, formulation of a strategy, and preparation of a written plan. AIM also provides retirement plan services to businesses which may include plan level services such as discretionary management services, non-discretionary management services, and investment advisory services related to different types of retirement plans. When providing management services, the firm is responsible for implementing recommendations. When the 1       firm is providing advisory services, the client is responsible for implementation of recommendations. Regardless of the services provided, each is tailored to the individual needs of a particular client (whether an individual, a family, or a business) through an assessment conducted prior to an engagement. Clients may impose restrictions related to the level of discretion granted, the types of investments used, etc. Terms of an actual engagement, including description of service, limitations and restrictions, fees, etc., are all detailed before any engagement begins in a written client agreement. Because AIM is a registered investment adviser, we are required to meet certain fiduciary standards when providing investment advice to clients. Additionally, when we provide investment advice related to a retirement plan account or an individual retirement account, we are considered 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. As such, we are required to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours, even though our compensation creates some conflicts with your interests in that the more you have us manage, the more we can earn. Our clients however are under no obligation to use services recommended by our associated persons. Furthermore, we believe that our recommendations are in the best interests of our clients and are consistent with our clients’ needs. AIM does not sponsor a “wrap fee” program where investment management services and trading costs are both covered in a single “wrap” fee, although outside managers used by AIM may sponsor and offer such programs. Information about outside manager wrap programs is available in the applicable outside manager’s Form ADV Part 2 Disclosure Brochure which is available upon request. Depending on the volume of trading activity, clients should note that a wrap fee program may cost the client more than purchasing management services and trading separately. Clients should also note that advisers may have a financial incentive to recommend wrap fee programs and that wrap fee sponsors may have a financial incentive to trade an account less frequently. As of 12/31/2024, AIM had $138,196,527 in assets under management, all of which was managed on a discretionary basis. 2       Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Fees for AIM Services: Portfolio Management Services Fees charged for discretionary investment management services are negotiated prior to the engagement. The firm’s published fee schedule is as follows: Assets Under Management Annual % Fee $0 - $250,000 1.50% $250,000 - $2,000,000 1.25% $2,000,000 - $5,000,000 1.00% Over $5,000,000 0.75% The firm may also at its discretion impose separate fees for additional advisory or planning services provided, but such fees will be disclosed in advance. Fees are generally calculated and charged quarterly in advance based on the quarter ending balance of assets under management at the end of the preceding quarter (i.e. the beginning of the quarter of services). Fees for partial quarters are prorated and adjusted based on the number of days assets are under management (e.g. new accounts, terminated accounts, cash inflows into an existing account, cash outflows from an existing account, etc.). Fees are deducted directly from client accounts except in instances where alternate payment is necessary and has been approved by AIM. Services may be terminated at any time by either party with 30 days written notice to the other party, and fees will be prorated accordingly. Any payments made in advance will be prorated and any unearned portion will be refunded to the client subject to the notice provision above. All management fees paid to AIM are separate and unrelated to any fees or expenses assessed by mutual funds or exchange traded funds. Information pertaining to fund- generated fees and expenses can be found in mutual fund and exchange traded fund prospectuses. Management fees paid to AIM are also separate from any platform fee or trade commission charged by an account custodian or broker-dealer, although trade commissions may at times be paid by AIM at the firm’s discretion. Outside manager fees 3       may be included in the quoted fee or may be separate, but when separate must be approved by the client in advance. Outside manager fees may or may not include trade commissions or other trading costs, depending on the manager and platform used. Information about outside manager fees and trading costs can be found in the applicable outside manager’s Form ADV Part 2 Disclosure Brochure which is available upon request. Investment Advisory Services Fees charged for non-management advisory services may be charged in advance or in arrears depending on the service provided. Fees are negotiated in advance, and generally range from .25% to 1.00% depending on the level of complexity of the engagement. Fee rates are based on actual services provided rather than being based solely on the level of assets managed as detailed above for investment management services. Fees are either deducted directly from the client account, billed to another account, or billed directly to the client, depending on the engagement. Services may be terminated at any time by either party with 30 days written notice to the other party, and fees will be prorated accordingly. Any payments made in advance will be prorated and any unearned fees will be refunded to the client subject to the notice provision above. All advisory fees paid to AIM are separate and unrelated to any fees or expenses assessed by any broker, custodian, or other outside party. Financial Planning Services Fees charged for financial planning services are quoted in advance and charged at a fixed amount or are quoted on an hourly basis. Quoted fixed fees will be based on the complexity and level of service provided on a case by case basis. Hourly fees will be estimated based on the complexity and level of service provided on a case by case basis. As mentioned above, services may include planning in areas such as education funding, retirement planning, estate planning, risk management, employee benefits planning, tax planning, etc. Since each of these areas can vary in complexity depending on the complexity of the client’s financial situation, cost will vary as well. Fees are negotiable depending on the circumstances of the engagement, location, etc. Fees are generally billed directly to the client in arrears, although a portion of which may be billed in advance. 4       Services may be terminated at any time by either party with 30 days written notice to the other party, and fees will be prorated based on the degree to which services have been completed. Any payments made in advance will be prorated and any unearned fees will be refunded to the client subject to the notice provision above. All financial planning fees paid to AIM are separate and unrelated to any fees or expenses assessed by any broker, custodian, or other outside party. Retirement Plan Services Fees charged for retirement plan services may be charged in advance or in arrears depending on the service provided. Fees may be fixed or asset based (not to exceed 1.50% annually), and are negotiable depending on the complexity of the service. Fee levels (whether fixed or asset based) are primarily based on actual services to be provided. Fees are generally due quarterly, and depending on the engagement, may be deducted directly at the plan level, may be deducted from individual plan participant accounts, may be billed to the plan sponsor, or may be billed to a plan administrator at the request of the plan sponsor. Services may be terminated at any time by either party with 30 days written notice to the other party, and fees will be prorated accordingly. Any payments made in advance will be prorated and any unearned fees will be refunded to the client subject to the notice provision above. All retirement plan fees paid to AIM are separate and unrelated to any fees or expenses assessed by any broker, custodian, or other outside party. Commissionable Securities Sales: Some affiliated persons of AIM may also be registered representatives of Arkadios Capital, a securities broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). As such, these individuals, in their separate capacities as registered representatives, will be able to effect securities transactions and will receive separate customary compensation for effecting any securities transactions. They may also from time to time receive 12b-1 distribution fees from investment companies in connection with the placement of client funds into investment companies. They do not however receive these fees for investments placed in accounts which AIM manages. 5       While AIM will endeavor at all times to put the interest of clients first as part of its fiduciary duty, clients should be aware that the receipt of additional compensation creates a conflict of interest and may affect the judgment of individuals who make recommendations. We believe however that our recommendations are in the best interests of our clients and are consistent with our clients’ needs. Our clients are under no obligation to purchase products through our associated persons. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management AIM does not charge performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client), and consequently does not simultaneously manage performance based and non-performance based accounts. Item 7 – Types of Clients AIM provides services to individuals, businesses and retirement plans. For its services, AIM does not require a minimum dollar value in assets for establishing or maintaining a client’s account, but the firm reserves the right to decline engagements for various reasons including account size. Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss AIM’s general investment strategy, consistent with the tenets of modern portfolio theory, is to attempt to reduce risk and volatility by building globally diversified portfolios. To implement this strategy, AIM primarily uses fundamental security methods of analysis, as well as market trend and economic cycle analysis. While mutual funds and exchange traded funds are the primary investment vehicles used in or recommended for client accounts, we may also use or recommend various other investment vehicles in the implementation of our strategies, including stocks, bonds, alternative investments, etc. Although we generally employ long-term purchase strategies (securities held at least a year), we may sometimes employ short-term purchase (securities sold within a year), trading (securities sold within 30 days), margin and or option strategies. We may also recommend the use of outside managers. Information about investment strategies employed by outside managers can be found in the applicable outside manager’s Form ADV Part 2 Disclosure Brochure which is available upon request. 6       Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Such risks include market risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, political risk, and loss of capital, among others. Additionally, certain trading strategies can affect investment performance through increased brokerage and other transactions. Each client’s propensity for risk however is thoroughly evaluated, documented, and considered throughout the portfolio implementation process. Although AIM intends to manage risk though the careful selection of investments, no investment strategy can assure a profit or avoid a loss. Item 9 – Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to the evaluation of the firm or the integrity of its management. AIM is currently not subject to, nor has ever been subject to, any legal or disciplinary events of a material nature. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Some affiliated persons of AIM may also be registered representatives of Arkadios Capital, a securities broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). As such, these individuals, in their separate capacities as registered representatives, will be able to effect securities transactions and will receive separate customary compensation for effecting any securities transactions. They may also from time to time receive 12b-1 distribution fees from investment companies in connection with the placement of client funds into investment companies. They do not however receive these fees for investments placed in accounts which AIM manages. AIM and or its associated persons may also separately offer clients advice or recommendations related to insurance products. Some associated persons of AIM are licensed insurance agents and may represent various insurance companies and insurance platform providers. Some insurance products placed through associated persons will generate standard and customary insurance commissions and other compensation, a portion of which may be received by associated persons of AIM. While AIM will endeavor at all times to put the interest of clients first as part of its fiduciary duty, clients should be aware that the receipt of additional compensation creates a conflict of 7       interest and may affect the judgment of individuals who make recommendations. We believe however that our recommendations are in the best interests of our clients and are consistent with our clients’ needs. Our clients are under no obligation to purchase products recommended by our associated persons or to purchase products through our associated persons and we recommend that they review insurance options with their attorney, accountant, or other applicable professional. Item 11 – Code of Ethics Code of Ethics AIM has adopted a Code of Ethics expressing the firm's commitment to ethical conduct. The AIM Code of Ethics describes the firm's fiduciary duties and responsibilities to clients, and details practices for reviewing the personal securities transactions of supervised persons with access to client information. The Code also requires compliance with applicable securities laws, addresses insider trading, and details possible disciplinary measures for violations. AIM will provide a complete copy of its Code of Ethics to any client upon request to the Chief Compliance Officer. Trading Conflicts of Interest Individuals associated with AIM are permitted to buy or sell securities for their personal accounts identical to or different than those recommended to clients. However, no person employed by AIM is allowed to favor his or her own interest over that of a client or make personal investment decisions based on the investment decisions of advisory clients. In order to address potential conflicts of interest, AIM requires that associated persons with access to advisory recommendations provide annual securities holdings reports and quarterly transaction reports to the firm's Chief Compliance Officer. AIM also requires prior approval from the Chief Compliance Officer for investing in any IPOs or private placements (limited offerings). 8       Item 12 – Brokerage Practices The Custodian and Brokers We Use We do not maintain custody of client assets. Instead, we require all client assets be maintained in an account at a non affiliated “qualified custodian,” generally a broker-dealer or bank. We are not affiliated with any particular custodian but instead all custodians are independently owned and operated. The custodian will hold your assets in a brokerage account and will be able to buy and sell securities on your behalf. In certain instances, we may also use Arkadios Capital a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA, as a broker. Some of our investment adviser representatives are affiliated with Arkadios Capital and may recommend securities or insurance products offered by Arkadios Capital, and receive normal commissions if products are purchased through them. Thus, a conflict of interest exists between the interests of the associated persons and those of our advisory clients. However, clients are under no obligation to purchase products recommended by these associated persons or to purchase products either through these associated persons or Arkadios Capital. While we may recommend that you use a particular custodian/broker, you will ultimately decide whether to do so and will open your account with the custodian/broker by entering into an account agreement directly with one of them. We cannot actually open accounts for you, but we can assist you in opening an account at whatever custodian/broker you decide to use. How We Select Custodians and Brokers When recommending a custodian or broker for our clients, we consider many different factors including quality of service, types of services offered, overall capability, execution quality, competitiveness of transaction costs, availability of investment research, reputation of the firm, and financial resources, among other things. In determining the reasonableness of a broker’s compensation, we consider the overall cost to you relative to the benefits you receive, both directly and indirectly, from the broker. Your Brokerage and Custody Costs Our clients receive various services directly from our custodians. For our clients’ accounts that they maintain, the custodian generally does not charge separately for custody services but instead is compensated by charging commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or trades that are executed by other brokers to and from the custodial accounts. Fees applicable to our client accounts were negotiated based on the condition that our clients collectively maintain a certain 9       level of assets at the custodian. We feel this commitment benefits you because we expect the overall rates you pay will be lower than they might be otherwise. Since custodians often charge clients a fee for each trade that we have executed by a different broker-dealer, we have the custodians execute most trades for your account in order to minimize your trading costs. We have determined that having the custodians execute most trades is consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of your trades. Best execution means seeking the most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above. Products and Services Available to Us from Brokers/Custodians The custodians provides us and our clients with access to its institutional brokerage services like trading, custody, reporting, and related services, many of which are not typically available to retail customers. The custodians also make available various support services, some of which may help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts, while others may help us manage and grow our business. Other institutional brokerage services which benefit you directly include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and asset custody. The investment products available through the custodians include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. The custodians may also make available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both the custodians’ own and that of third parties. We may use this research to service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at the custodians. In addition to investment research, the custodians may also make available software and other technology that provide access to client account data, facilitates trade execution for multiple client accounts, provides pricing and other market data, facilitates payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts, and assists with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting. The custodians may also offer other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business. These services include educational conferences and events, consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs, publications and conferences on practice management and business succession, and access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers. 10       The availability of these services from the custodians benefits us because we do not have to produce or purchase them. Of course, this may give us an incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with a particular custodian based on our interests rather than yours, which is a potential conflict of interest. We believe, however, that our recommendation of a custodian is in the best interests of our clients, and is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of the custodian’s services and not the custodian’s services that benefit only us. Aggregation of Transactions AIM may, from time to time, aggregate client orders into blocks in order to facilitate more efficient account management and execution. When aggregating orders, an average price is given to all participants in the block, or other measures are taken, in order to treat all accounts fairly. Item 13 – Review of Accounts Review of Accounts Accounts are generally reviewed on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual basis, depending on the type of account. Reviews may be general in nature, addressing investment objectives, risk tolerances or asset allocations, or they may be more detailed, depending on circumstances. The level of detail of the review is generally triggered by factors such as market, political, or economic conditions, or the client's individual financial situation. Clients should notify the firm of any material personal financial changes. Regular Reports Provided to Clients In addition to the monthly statements and confirmations of transaction that clients receive from the custodian, AIM may provide other reports directly to the client from time to time depending on the type of engagement. Investment management clients for example may receive periodic performance related reports. Financial planning clients may receive a planning analysis but do not receive regular reports from AIM. AIM urges clients to carefully review custodial statements and compare them to the reports which we may provide. 11       Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation AIM does not compensate any outside parties for client referrals, nor do we receive any compensation or non-cash economic benefit for client referrals. AIM does however receive economic benefits from our custodian in the form of the support products and services that are made available to us and to other independent investment advisors. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described in Item 12 above. The firm may also on limited occasions receive travel expense reimbursements for industry meetings related to market analysis, investment strategies, and practice management. The availability to us of these economic benefits is not based on us giving particular investment advice, such as buying or recommending particular securities for our clients. Furthermore, our representatives are required to make all investment decisions and recommendations based solely on the interests of the applicable client. Item 15 – Custody As noted in Item 12, AIM recommends that clients’ assets be held by a qualified custodian. Although we do not hold assets, we may have limited control in some instances to trade on your behalf, to deduct our advisory fees from your account with your authorization, or to request disbursements on your behalf (although various types of written authorizations are required depending on the type of disbursements). You will receive account statement directly from your custodian at least quarterly, which will be sent to the email or postal mailing address you provide. AIM may also periodically provide performance reports. AIM urges clients to carefully review custodial statements and compare them to any account reports that we might provide. Item 16 – Investment Discretion AIM will accept discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients, although we will also accept non-discretionary accounts. AIM may also delegate authority to outside managers with client approval. When granted authority to manage accounts, AIM customarily has the authority to determine which securities and the amounts that are bought or sold. Any discretionary authority accepted 12       by AIM or an outside manager however is subject to the client’s risk profile and investment objectives and may be limited by any other limitations provided by the client in writing. AIM will not exercise or delegate any discretionary authority until it has been given authority to do so in writing. Such authority is granted in the written agreement between AIM and the client, and in the written agreement with the third-party custodian and outside manager. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities AIM does not vote proxies on behalf of clients. Clients may receive proxies and other solicitations directly from their custodian or transfer agent and may contact AIM with questions. Item 18 – Financial Information Registered investment advisers are required in some cases to provide certain financial information and or disclosures about their financial condition. For example, if the firm requires prepayment of fees for six months in advance, has custody of client funds, or has a condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet it contractual commitments to its clients, it must provide financial information and make disclosures. AIM has no financial or operating conditions which trigger such additional reporting requirements. 13
