AlphaCore, a Delaware limited liability company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of AlphaCore Companies LLC (“AlphaCore Companies”). CWC Genesis Investor, LLC (“CWC Genesis”) is an equity partner (via ownership in AlphaCore Companies) with a minority interest in AlphaCore. Constellation Wealth Capital Fund, L.P. controls CWC Genesis. Advisory Services Offered AlphaCore is an independent, wealth advisory firm serving clients across the country. We offer comprehensive wealth planning and investment management services, with access to traditional and alternative investment strategies. AlphaCore provides investment advisory, financial planning, and tax preparation services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, entities and institutional investors. Prior to engaging AlphaCore to provide advisory services, a client is required to enter into a written agreement detailing the terms of the service. Investment Advisory Services AlphaCore offers investment advisory services, which involve AlphaCore providing continuous and ongoing supervision over the assets in clients’ advisory accounts. AlphaCore generally manages all client assets on a fully discretionary basis but will provide non-discretionary management under certain circumstances. Please refer to Item 16 for further information regarding our discretionary authority. When providing investment advisory services, AlphaCore is a fiduciary. As a fiduciary, AlphaCore has duties of care and of loyalty to clients and is subject to obligations imposed on AlphaCore by the federal and state securities laws. As a result, clients have certain rights that they cannot waive or limit by contract. Nothing in AlphaCore’s asset management agreement with a client should be interpreted as a limitation of its obligations under the federal and state securities laws or as a waiver of any non-waivable rights a client possesses. Accounts are managed based on each client’s financial situation, investment objectives and risk tolerance. At the beginning of the relationship, we obtain certain information from each client to determine their financial situation and investment objectives. In the event a client notifies AlphaCore of changes in the client’s financial circumstances or objectives, AlphaCore will review such changes and recommend and/or make any necessary revisions to the client’s portfolio to bring it in line with the changes. AlphaCore does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided by clients, and we are not obligated to verify the information 4  received. We rely upon the information when managing clients’ assets, and clients are responsible for notifying us of any updates or changes to this information. Clients can impose reasonable restrictions on the management of the assets in their accounts, including the ability to instruct us not to purchase certain securities. However, AlphaCore reserves the right to decline to accept investment restrictions that in our judgment would unduly interfere with our ability to provide discretionary management services to client accounts. In the event such a determination is made, we will promptly notify the client. We manage investments for a number of clients and may give advice or take actions for certain clients that is different from the advice we provide to other clients. We are not obligated to buy, sell or recommend to a client any security or other investment that we may buy, sell or recommend for any other clients, or for our own accounts. Conflicts of interest may arise in the allocation of investment opportunities among accounts that we manage. We strive to allocate investment opportunities believed to be appropriate for our clients equitably and consistently with the best interests of all accounts involved. However, there can be no assurance that a particular investment opportunity that comes to our attention will be allocated in any particular manner. If we obtain material, non-public information about a security or its issuer that we cannot lawfully use or disclose, we have absolutely no obligation to disclose the information to any client and cannot use it for any client’s benefit or to benefit AlphaCore. Advice on Certain Types of Investments While we do not limit advice to specific types of investments, we specialize in “alternative” investing strategies which we define as liquid or illiquid securities and/or strategies we believe are less correlated to traditional markets or indices. Alternative investment managers can invest long or short, across multiple asset classes, aren’t constrained to an investment style, and generally are not dependent on the markets going up to achieve positive results as more traditional long-only investments. AlphaCore may provide investment advice on a wide variety of investment types and arrangements depending on a client’s goals, objectives, investment experience and risk tolerance, including, but are not limited to: equity securities, debt securities, mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), hedge funds, annuities, private equity and venture capital funds and co-investment arrangements, and separately managed accounts with other investment partners/managers. Please refer to Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss for more information. Participant Account Management Upon request and authorization by the client, we use a third-party platforms to facilitate management of held away assets such as defined contribution plan participant accounts (401k assets, etc.), with discretion. AlphaCore is not affiliated with the platforms and receives no compensation from them for using their platform. AlphaCore’s access to these accounts and 5  funds are limited to viewing, allocating and rebalancing (i.e., no authority to disburse funds, etc.). Other than our agreed advisory fee, this service does not increase fees since AlphaCore pays for the expense associated with this service. Recommendation of Unaffiliated Sub-Advisers AlphaCore may select one or more unaffiliated, third-party investment advisers to serve as “Sub-Advisers” to manage a portion of a client’s assets. Fees assessed by Sub-Advisers are separate and in addition to the advisory fees we charge. AlphaCore performs due diligence on each Sub-Adviser. The decision to use a Sub-Adviser is based on each client’s individual needs and is predicated upon whether we believe a strategy offered or made available by a Sub- Adviser is in the best interests of the client. Clients will be provided a copy of the applicable Sub-Adviser’s Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure, Form ADV Part 2B Supplemental Brochure(s) and Form CRS at or before a Sub-Adviser is hired to manage a client’s assets. Selected Sub-Advisers will provide ongoing discretionary investment management services and trading authority over a client’s designated assets. This means the Sub-Adviser can decide what securities to purchase and sell with the designated assets without first discussing with the client and where and when to place the transactions. We are available to answer questions clients may have regarding their assets managed by the Sub-Adviser(s) and usually act as the communication conduit between the clients and the Sub-Advisers. Financial Planning Services We offer comprehensive financial planning and wealth preservation services. Financial planning services may not involve ongoing client account management but instead focus on a client’s overall financial situation. Financial planning can be described as helping individuals determine and set their long-term financial goals through investments, tax planning, asset allocation, risk management, retirement planning, and other areas. The role of a financial planner is to create personalized financial plans for a client that can cover such areas as retirement, taxes, education, insurance, investments, and estate planning. If the client is not an investment advisory client, it will be the client’s responsibility if they wish to execute on any planning advice, and/or to promptly notify us of any changes in their financial situation or investment objectives to review, evaluate, or revise our previous recommendations and/or services. To the extent clients engages AlphaCore for financial planning only, please refer to the section “Financial Planning Only Fees.” In the financial planning process, AlphaCore typically reviews one or more of the following, depending on a client’s needs: Retirement Planning – AlphaCore may work with clients to implement accumulation strategies and techniques to ensure that retirement goals and priorities are being met. This may include strategies related to retirement income, social security, insurance, and healthcare. Investment Consulting and Asset Allocation – This involves advice with respect to asset selection and allocation, as well as investment income accumulation techniques. Evaluations 6  are made of existing and, when applicable, potential investments in terms of their economic and tax characteristics as well as their suitability for meeting client’s objectives. Tax consequences and their implications are identified and evaluated in general terms. Education Planning – AlphaCore’s financial planning services can include advice on projecting required savings or investing objectives to meet general or specific future educational needs. Income Tax Planning – AlphaCore offers tax preparation services and advice as to how tax laws may affect various financial decisions, e.g., acquisitions, pension strategy, investing in new opportunities or consolidation of existing investments, and individual taxation issues, among others. AlphaCore may offer accounting services to clients such as review of books and records and making journal entries as needed. To the extent Clients engage us for tax preparation only, please refer to the section “Tax Preparation Services Only Fees.” Estate Planning – AlphaCore may review a clients existing estate plan and make recommendations in conjunction with counsel to provide guidance on the management and distribution of assets during their lives and at death. These services offered in collaboration with existing or referred attorneys are provided to address certain issues with estate taxes, post-mortem control of assets, and other key details of a client’s estate plan. Risk Management and Insurance Analysis – This includes risk management associated with advisory recommendations based on the combination of insurance types that we believe best meet a client’s specific needs, e.g., life, health, disability, and long-term care, and others as appropriate. This may be completed through our affiliate, AlphaCore Insurance Services, through a client’s existing relationships or other avenues. Clients are not required to execute any recommendations through our affiliate. The preceding is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the topics we may include in a financial plan. We may or may not include additional areas of focus depending on a client’s needs. When providing financial planning services, the role of the investment adviser representative is to find ways to help a client understand their overall financial situation and help set financial objectives. Clients should be aware that there are important issues that may not be taken into consideration when an investment adviser representative develops the analysis and recommendations under a limited or modular financial plan. Clients have the sole responsibility for determining whether to implement the financial planning recommendations and under no obligation to act upon the recommendations. If a client does act upon our recommendations, the client is under no obligation to effect transactions through AlphaCore. AlphaCore encourages clients to consult their other advisors, such as their attorneys or tax professionals regarding their specific legal or tax circumstances and plans. A component of our wealth preservation services may include collaborating with trusted advisers and/or third-party referrals to advisers in estate, tax and other areas. Clients are not 7  obligated to engage with a referred adviser, as AlphaCore is well situated to work with client engaged or other third-party advisers. To the extent the client decides to engage a referred third-party adviser, AlphaCore will collaborate with them as needed but makes no representation on the third-party adviser’s services. Retirement Plan Advisory Services AlphaCore is a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) with respect to investment management services and investment advice provided to ERISA plans and ERISA plan participants. AlphaCore is also a fiduciary under section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) with respect to investment management services and investment advice provided to individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), ERISA plans, and ERISA plan participants. As such, AlphaCore is subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the IRC, as applicable, that include, among other things, prohibited transaction rules which are intended to prohibit fiduciaries from acting on conflicts of interest. When an ERISA fiduciary gives advice, the fiduciary must either avoid certain conflicts of interest or rely upon an applicable prohibited transaction exemption. We do provide advisory services for corporate retirement plans, such as pension, profit sharing, and participant-directed, individual account plans (i.e., 401(k), 403(b), etc.) such as: (i) discretionary investment management services, (ii) non-discretionary advisory services, and/or (ii) advisory services to employer-sponsored retirement plans and their participants in either an ERISA 3(38) fiduciary or ERISA 3(21) co-fiduciary capacity. In providing services directly to plans, AlphaCore may establish a client relationship with one or more plan participants. Client relationships may develop in various ways such as in the course of conversations on financial planning or discussions regarding a client’s decision to rollover assets from employer retirement accounts to individual retirement accounts such as a rollover IRA. If a plan participant desires to affect an IRA rollover from the plan to an account advised or managed by AlphaCore, or if we make a recommendation to affect a rollover, we will have a conflict of interest given that our advisory fees can reasonably be expected to be higher than those we receive in connection with direct plan servicing due to the individualized nature of the services. To mitigate such conflicts, AlphaCore will disclose relevant information about the applicable fees we charge for advising or managing an IRA via our asset management agreement and this disclosure brochure. The ultimate decision to affect a rollover and/or to take a distribution from any retirement account rests solely with the individual client. Trustee Services: Certain advisors do provide trustee or successor trustee services to perform the functions of a trustee for a client’s trust. Trustee services may include discretionary asset management, distribution of assets according to trust documents, funding sub-trusts, communicating with beneficiaries, management of real property, issuing statements to beneficiaries, creating, and distributing final accountings to beneficiaries, using discretionary power to make distributions to beneficiaries, closing accounts, diversifying trust assets, and verifying/paying trust bills and taxes. 8  Institutional Sub-Adviser Services AlphaCore may offer its investment strategies to institutional advisers (directly to the adviser’s client accounts or to funds) and/or may provide access through various platforms. The institutional advisers provide the relationship management portion of the service and recommend our strategy to their clients. The institutional advisers ultimately have the fiduciary duty to their direct clients to ensure that the strategy is suitable for their clients’ portfolios. Institutional Model Portfolio Subscription Service AlphaCore offers subscription services allowing institutions and other clients to utilize AlphaCore’s proprietary strategies. These strategies are designed to satisfy a gradient of standard risk/return assumptions as determined by AlphaCore. These services constitute impersonal advisory services and are not designed to meet the investment objectives of an individual client. The subscribing institutional clients ultimately have a fiduciary duty to their clients to ensure that the strategy is suitable, if utilized for management of their clients’ portfolios. Tailor Advisory Services to Individual Needs of Clients AlphaCore’s advisory services are provided based on a client’s individual needs. This means, for example, that when we provide investment advisory services, clients are given the ability to impose restrictions on the accounts we manage, including specific investment selections and sectors. Our financial planning services are provided based on a client’s individual needs. When providing financial planning services, we work with each client on a one-on-one basis through interviews and questionnaires to determine their investment objectives and suitability information. We may elect to not enter into an investment advisory relationship with a prospective client whose investment objectives may be considered incompatible with our investment philosophy or strategies or where the prospective client seeks to impose unduly restrictive investment guidelines. Participation in Wrap Fee Programs We do not currently offer or participate in wrap-fee programs. Client Assets Managed by AlphaCore As of December 31, 2025, AlphaCore managed regulatory assets under management of $9,028,614,790. Including $ 407,063,519 of assets under advisement, AlphaCore manages $9,435,678,309 as of December 31, 2025. 9  Item 5: Fees and Compensation This section details the typical fees and compensation methodologies for services provided by AlphaCore. Lower fees for comparable service may be available from other sources. The contracted fees and other terms will be outlined in the agreement between the client and AlphaCore. Investment Advisory Fees Fees for investment advisory services are charged based on a percentage of assets under management, billed on a quarterly basis, and calculated based on the fair market value of a client’s prior period ending account, including inflows and outflows during the previous billing period (above a contracted value of $1 million). We typically bill quarterly in advance, but please note that, due to acquisitions of advisers, certain clients are billed quarterly in arrears versus our standard practice of billing quarterly in advance. Each client agrees to the method of billing in a client asset management agreement. For actively managed accounts, we generally bill on cash. For clients that hold privately offered securities which may have a delay in final month or quarter end valuations, the most current market value will be used for billing purposes unless the security is valued at cost. In general, AlphaCore anticipates these delayed valuations will be current as of the prior billing quarter (e.g., the value must be no older than September 30 for first quarter billing, which otherwise utilizes December 31 values). But AlphaCore cannot direct the timing of such third-party valuations. For example, some private equity funds provide a quarterly valuation, but that valuation may not be reported to AlphaCore before quarterly billing. For advance quarterly billing, fees are pro-rated (based on the number of days service is provided during the initial billing period) when accounts are opened at any time other than the beginning of the billing period. If investment advisory services commence in the middle of the billing period, then the pro-rated fee for that billing period will commence when new accounts are fully funded, will be based on the value of the account on the start date, and will be combined and due (deducted or billed) with the next quarterly advance billing cycle. For example, an account that commences trading in mid-December will be assessed per diem for the remaining portion of the fourth quarter, and this pro-rated new account billing will be added to the advance billing for the first quarter. While our standard new relationship size is $1 million, AlphaCore reserves the right to accept or to not accept any potential client, or to terminate any current client, at our sole discretion. Our current standard fee schedule for advisory services is tiered: 1.50% for assets under management (“AUM”) to $1,250,000; 1.00% for AUM at $1,250,001 to $5,000,000; and 0.75% for AUM at $5,000,001 and above. The standard fee schedule utilizes a blending of the rates above. As an example, a client with $7,000,000 of assets under management with AlphaCore 10  would pay 1.50% annually on the first $1,250,000; 1.00% on managed assets over $1,250,000 up to $5,000,000; and 0.75% on managed assets over $5,000,000. The resulting blended fee would be approximately 1.02%. Fees charged for our investment advisory services are negotiable based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the type of client (such as employee retirement plans), the complexity of the client's situation, the relationship of the client with the investment adviser representative, and the total amount of assets under management for the family or larger relationship. Some clients may negotiate other fee arrangements, and therefore, certain AlphaCore clients are charged lower fees than our standard fee schedule. This may include a fixed percentage fee (e.g., 1.0% per year on assets under management), a fixed fee or other fee schedule such as a “floating rate” fee schedule. Unlike a tiered (or blended) fee schedule, a “floating rate” fee schedule does not blend the fees; it simply reduces the overall fee as assets under management increase. An example would be a client pays 1.50% annually until their assets under management exceeds $1,250,000 at which time all the assets are billed at 1.00% per annum. Clients of investment advisory firms acquired by AlphaCore, who have assigned their prior investment advisory agreements to AlphaCore, may have a fee schedule, blended rates, and minimum annual fee which are lower or different from AlphaCore’s standard fee schedule. This fee schedule represents the fees charged solely by AlphaCore and does not include the fees charged by Sub-Advisers selected by AlphaCore to manage clients’ accounts, when applicable. Fees assessed by Sub-Advisers are separate and in addition to the advisory fees we charge. We strive to ensure that the fees charged separately by the Sub-Advisers and also the fees charged by both AlphaCore and the Sub-Advisers are reasonable in light of the services being provided. Sub-Advisers are responsible for calculating and billing their fees. A description of each Sub-Adviser’s fees and billing practices are outlined in their respective Form ADV Part 2A, which is provided to each applicable client. Please also refer to “Other Fees and Expenses” below for further information on third party fees. AlphaCore believes that its annual fee is reasonable in relation to the services provided, and the fees charged by other investment advisers offering similar services/programs. In addition to our fee, clients may also be subject to imbedded fees and expenses, such as advisory fees and fund expenses (i.e., brokerage, administrative, legal, and other expenses) charged by hedge funds, exchange traded funds, and mutual funds. The advice provided by AlphaCore may include recommendations to sell, hold, or purchase unaffiliated funds. Funds incur advisory, administrative, and custodial fees, as well as other fees and expenses that it pays out of its own assets. These expenses comprise the funds’ respective expense ratio. None of the fees or expenses paid to the funds are received by AlphaCore except for the following: As noted below in Institutional Sub-Advisory Services, AlphaCore has entered into a sub-advisory services agreement with iCapital Advisors, LLC to provide sub-advisory services to fund(s) advised and sponsored by iCapital Advisors, LLC. An affiliate of AlphaCore, Strategic Access LLC, 11  is eligible to receive “carried interest” compensation from fund(s) in accordance with the fund(s) offering and governing materials. Therefore, please note this may result in a conflict of interest to the extent AlphaCore recommends clients invest in the fund(s). Please refer to each fund’s offering materials, such as each respective prospectus, statement of additional information or confidential offering materials for details on all fees and expenses. AlphaCore typically deducts the investment advisory fees directly from a client’s account, and these fees are paid directly to AlphaCore by the client’s qualified custodian(s). A client may elect to pay AlphaCore upon receipt of a billing notice sent directly to the client. For client’s that choose to have the investment advisory fees deducted from their account, the client must provide the qualified custodian(s) of their account with authority to deduct fees and pay such fees directly to AlphaCore. This authorization is contained in the client agreement entered into with AlphaCore, when clients select this method of payment. If a client chooses to directly pay the advisory fees, fees will be due upon receipt of a billing statement. Such billing statements will detail the fee schedule used to calculate the fee, the assets under management, and the time period covered. Clients will receive a statement from their qualified custodian no less than on a quarterly basis detailing all account transactions, including amounts paid to AlphaCore. We will make a billing statement available to clients in the electronic reporting portal and upon request via other methods. Due to acquisitions of advisers, certain clients may not have access to the electronic reporting portal for a period of time. Financial Planning Services Only Fees To the extent that clients seek financial planning services only, we generally charge a negotiated fixed or flat fee in advance. This fee is negotiated between the client and the advisor depending on the complexity of assets and the planning requirements. In most cases, AlphaCore requires an advance deposit or full payment in exchange for such services. The fee is set forth in a financial planning agreement executed with the client. Tax Preparation Services Only Fees Clients may engage AlphaCore for tax preparation services only. Although some of AlphaCore’s financial advisers are Certified Financial Planners® or CPAs, tax return preparation and accounting services are provided through a separate engagement letter with clients setting out the terms of the engagement, which can include the fee for preparing tax returns. The fee also may be presented to the client near or at the conclusion of the services, which AlphaCore believes will be reasonable for the services provided based upon the complexity of the returns and the time involved. If the client has questions about the fee, AlphaCore will work with the client to ensure that the fee is mutually agreeable. While we offer tax preparation services, clients are not obligated to use such services for their tax or accounting needs. AlphaCore does not provide any attestation services such as audits, reviews, and compilations. 12  IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES: • Systems and system generated statements are provided for client use, and this information is not intended to replace the information contained on your monthly custodial statement, which is the only accurate representation of the activity and valuations in your account(s). Statements received from each custodian, fund family, and/or issuer provide what AlphaCore believes to be the most accurate and up to date values. Therefore, clients should review their account statements received from the qualified custodian(s), funds or issuers. • AlphaCore utilizes a third party system and period ending values as reported into this system by issuers and custodians. Please note there may be minor account balance variances (higher or lower) between month end custodial statements, and our billing values reported into the system due to certain operational and processing delays. Such issues may include but are not limited to; (i) back dated transactions, (ii) timing differences in trade settlements, (iii) accrued interest or dividends, and/or (iv) manual adjustments or error resolution. • Clients are encouraged to compare any reports or statements provided by us, a Sub- Adviser or a third-party money manager against the account statements delivered from the qualified custodian or issuer. Neither AlphaCore’s reporting, nor access to any third- party system or Sub-Adviser’s reporting, is intended to replace the information contained in your custodial brokerage statement and/or issuer statements (as applicable), which is the only accurate representation of the activity and valuations in your account(s). When you have questions about your account statement, contact AlphaCore or the qualified custodian or issuer preparing the account statement. Termination of Investment Advisory Services Our investment advisory services continue until terminated. Clients may terminate the services by providing AlphaCore with written notice. AlphaCore may terminate the services by providing clients with written notice, effective 30 days after receipt of the written notice. Any prepaid, unearned fees will be refunded by AlphaCore to the client promptly. Fee refunds will be determined on a per diem basis using the number of days services are actually provided during the final period. Schwab Advisor Network® AlphaCore may receive client referrals from Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) through AlphaCore’s participation in Schwab Advisor Network® (“the Service”). The Service is designed to help investors find an independent investment adviser. Schwab is a broker-dealer independent of and unaffiliated with AlphaCore. Please note Schwab does not supervise AlphaCore and has no responsibility for AlphaCore’s management of clients’ portfolios, other advice or services. 13  In the event AlphaCore provides advisory services to a client referred to us by Schwab, AlphaCore will pay Schwab fees to receive client referrals through the Service. AlphaCore’s participation in the Service may raise potential conflicts of interest described herein. AlphaCore will pay Schwab a participation fee on all referred clients’ accounts that are maintained in custody at Schwab, and a non-Schwab custody fee on all accounts that are maintained at, or transferred to, another custodian. Subject to certain exceptions, the participation fee paid by AlphaCore is a percentage of the average daily total assets during the quarter in all referred client accounts maintained at Schwab. AlphaCore pays Schwab the participation fee for so long as the referred client’s account remains in custody at Schwab. The participation fee is billed to AlphaCore quarterly and may be increased, decreased or waived by Schwab from time to time. The participation fee is paid by AlphaCore, not by the client, and does not increase the fees a client will pay. AlphaCore has agreed not to charge clients referred through the Service fees or costs greater than the fees or costs AlphaCore charges clients with similar portfolios who were not referred through the Service. AlphaCore generally pays Schwab a non-Schwab custody fee if custody of a referred client’s account is not maintained with Schwab. This fee does not apply if the client was solely responsible for the decision not to maintain custody at Schwab. The non-Schwab custody fee is a one-time payment equal to a percentage of the assets placed with a custodian other than Schwab. The non-Schwab custody fee is higher than the participation fees AlphaCore would generally pay in a single year. Thus, AlphaCore has an incentive to recommend that client accounts be held in custody at Schwab. Please also refer to Item 14 for the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest. Institutional Sub-Advisory Services Fees charged for our direct client sub-advisory services are negotiable, billed quarterly in advance, based on the fair market value of sub-advisory assets in the account on the last day of previous billing period. For actively managed accounts, we generally bill on cFash balances and margin balances given the management of such balances by AlphaCore (subject to negotiation) for short term needs (such as short term lending or cash reserves to facilitate investments into other products). This may increase fees if arrangements such as margin usage is elected by clients; e.g., if a client determines to use margin, AlphaCore will include the entire market value of the margined balance when computing its advisory fee. Accordingly, AlphaCore's fee will be based upon a higher margined account value, resulting in us earning a correspondingly higher advisory fee. Fees charged for our institutional sub-advisory services are negotiable based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the relationship of the client with AlphaCore, and the total amount of assets under management for the client. If sub-advisory services commence in the middle of the billing period, then the pro-rated fee for that billing period will commence when new accounts are funded, will be based on the value of the account on the start date, and will be combined and due (deducted or billed) with the next quarterly advance billing cycle. For example, an account that commences trading in mid-December will be 14  assessed per diem for the remaining portion of the fourth quarter, and this pro-rated new account billing will be added to the advance billing for the first quarter billing. The standard fee schedule is tiered and subject to a minimum quarterly fee: 0.65%* for AUM to $5,000,000; 0.50% for AUM at $5,000,001 to $10,000,000; and 0.35% for AUM at $10,000,001 and above. The standard fee schedule utilizes a blending of the rates above. As an example, an advisory relationship with $6,000,000 of assets under management with AlphaCore would pay 0.65% annually on the first $5,000,000, 0.50% on the next $1,000,000. The resulting blended fee would be 0.55% per annum. A minimum quarterly fee of $1,250 is applicable to advisor relationships utilizing the Sub-Advisory Service. The minimum fee can be lowered and/or waived at the sole discretion of AlphaCore. AlphaCore has entered into a sub-advisory services agreement with iCapital Advisors, LLC to provide sub-advisory services to fund(s) advised and sponsored by iCapital Advisors, LLC. Fees charged by the fund may vary from the direct client fee schedule above. Such fees will be disclosed in each fund’s offering materials. To the extent AlphaCore clients invest in such a fund, AlphaCore will not receive a sub-advisory management fee from the fund. But an affiliate of AlphaCore, Strategic Access LLC, is eligible to receive “carried interest” compensation from fund(s) in accordance with the fund(s) offering and governing materials. Therefore, please note this may result in a conflict of interest to the extent AlphaCore recommends clients invest in the fund(s). Clients are under no obligation to invest in the fund(s), and only qualified investors are eligible to do so. Institutional Management and Consulting Services AlphaCore may provide certain institutional consulting services (such as manager due diligence and other support services) for a negotiated flat fee. These fees are negotiated based on the scope of services with each institution, but are generally charged as a one-time fee, but may be on a quarterly basis dependent on the requested services. In addition, AlphaCore has entered into certain shareholder servicing agreements whereby AlphaCore is compensated on a percentage of advisory fees collected to provide shareholder servicing to specific fund investors. All involved clients have received disclosure regarding these arrangements, the services provided, and all associated compensation. Institutional Model Portfolio & Research Subscription Service Fees charged for our subscription services are negotiable, billed quarterly in arrears, and based on the complexity of the support services provided, and the nature of the relationship of the client with AlphaCore. AlphaCore’s standard fee for institutional investors is a flat annual fee of up to 0.20%* of the daily net assets of subscriber’s assets invested in the models, and as reported by the subscriber. AlphaCore may agree to a negotiated flat fee for its subscription services. Fees will be due within 10 days of each quarter’s end. In the event of the termination of subscription services, the applicable fees shall be paid until the earlier of either AlphaCore 15  releasing a revised model portfolio, or the adviser reallocating client assets away from the AlphaCore model portfolio. *A minimum quarterly fee of $5,000 is applicable to institutional relationships utilizing the Model Portfolio & Research Subscription Service. The minimum fee can be lowered and/or waived at the sole discretion of AlphaCore. Other Fees and Expenses Brokerage commissions and/or transaction ticket fees charged by the qualified custodian are billed directly to the client by the qualified custodian and are in addition to the advisory fees paid. These may include account and custody fees (including higher custodial fees for private placement securities), transaction charges, short term redemption fees, and others. AlphaCore does not participate in any of these fees, but please note charges may vary among custodians. A client may incur transaction charges from the custodian calculated on a per trade basis (transaction-based pricing) or based on assets under management (asset-based pricing). AlphaCore does not receive any portion of such commissions or transaction fees paid to qualified custodians. In certain circumstances, AlphaCore may deem it in the client’s best interest, or AlphaCore’s clients may elect to participate in asset-based pricing rather than transaction-based pricing. AlphaCore will complete and/or assist with an evaluation of account and asset characteristics to elect the most appropriate option. At any given time, a client may incur more or less in transaction charges depending on the pricing selection, due to varying and fluctuating factors such as assets under management, minimum fees imposed, trading maximums, and trading frequency. In addition, broker-dealers and custodians may change their fee structure at any time, so clients are urged to review custodial statements for incurred charges. In addition, clients will incur certain charges imposed by third parties other than AlphaCore in connection with investments made through client’s account including, but not limited to, imbedded fund fees and expense (which may include redemptions fees), sales loads, 12b-1 fees and surrender charges, IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, and charges imposed by the qualified custodian(s). The management fees charged by AlphaCore are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged directly by securities (e.g., internal fund expenses) that may be recommended to clients or invested in clients’ accounts by AlphaCore. AlphaCore does not share or participate in any of these fees or expenses. AlphaCore endeavors to select the most appropriate fund share class for our clients, based on various factors including account size, anticipated holding period, and turnover. AlphaCore generally utilizes an advisory or institutional share class option. A description of these fees and expenses are available in each fund’s offering and governing documents. 16  Additional Compensation Received by Investment Adviser Representatives Certain investment adviser representatives of AlphaCore are also registered insurance agents, as disclosed in their Form ADV Part 2B (“Insurance Agents”). In this capacity, Insurance Agents recommend from time-to-time various insurance products to AlphaCore clients through other entities or via an affiliate, AlphaCore Insurance Services. Should a client elect to purchase the recommended insurance product(s), they will receive commissions depending on the insurance product. The receipt of additional compensation creates an inherent conflict of interest and could affect the judgment when making recommendations. The conflict is due to the fact that they have an incentive to make recommendations based on the compensation they could receive rather than on a client’s needs. AlphaCore and its investment adviser representatives endeavor at all times to put the interests of the clients first, and recommendations only will be made to the extent that they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the clients. Also, this conflict is disclosed to AlphaCore clients at the time of entering into an advisory agreement, mainly through the delivery of this brochure and the investment adviser representative’s Form ADV Part 2B Supplement Brochure. Clients are not obligated to implement insurance recommendations made by Insurance Agents and have the option to purchase any recommended insurance products through non-affiliated insurance agents. Other Employee Compensation As disclosed in certain investment adviser representative supplements (i.e., For ADV Part 2B), certain employees have equity and/or profit interest participation in AlphaCore. This means they can participate in profit distributions of AlphaCore which creates an incentive to facilitate firm growth (i.e., higher negotiated fees, new client solicitations, etc.). Other investment adviser representatives may receive compensation through outside business activities. Please refer to the investment adviser representative supplements (i.e., For ADV Part 2B) for specific details on your adviser. Additionally, AlphaCore may enter into arrangements whereby it pays a portion of ongoing advisory fees to retired or terminated investment adviser representatives (or their heirs) as part of a severance or other plan. These arrangements do not increase the fees paid by AlphaCore clients. Please refer to Item 10 for additional information regarding the financial industry affiliations of AlphaCore and its investment adviser representatives. 17  Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management Performance-based fees are defined as fees based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets held in a client’s account. AlphaCore does not charge or accept performance-based fees. However, AlphaCore could recommend investments in third-party funds which, in certain circumstances, will charge performance-based fees that will be borne directly or indirectly by clients. Please note a wholly owned affiliate of AlphaCore is entitled to receive “carried interest” from fund(s) sponsored and/or advised by iCapital Advisors, LLC (as enumerated in each fund(s) offering documents). The current fund sub-advised by AlphaCore does not deploy a strategy utilized for individual advisory or sub-advisory clients, so this additional potential compensation does not result in a direct conflict with the management of other client accounts. Item 7: Types of Clients AlphaCore generally provides investment advice to individuals and high net-worth individuals but may also provide services to registered investment advisers, banks and trusts, small companies, charitable organizations, pension and profit sharing plans, and businesses. AlphaCore also has certain institutional agreements in place to provide certain advisory services and shareholder services to specific underlying fund investors. Clients are required to execute a written advisory agreement with AlphaCore prior to AlphaCore providing customary advisory services. Minimum Investment Our account minimum is generally $1 million. AlphaCore does reserve the right to accept or not accept any potential client or terminate any current client at our sole discretion. AlphaCore may impose a minimum annual fee for its individual advisory services, institutional sub-advisory services, and its institutional model portfolio and research subscription service. See Item 5 – Fees and Compensation. Many clients of investment advisory firms acquired by AlphaCore, who have assigned their prior investment advisory agreements to AlphaCore, do have account minimums that are lower than AlphaCore’s account minimum. Those accounts will be subject to future review, discussion, and possible negotiation between the client and financial adviser. 18  Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis AlphaCore utilizes a variety of methods to analyze securities and sub-advisers when formulating customized client investment advice. Fundamental – This is a method of evaluating a security by attempting to measure its intrinsic value by examining related economic, financial and other qualitative and quantitative factors. Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's value, including macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) and individually specific factors (like the financial condition and management of a company). The end goal of performing fundamental analysis is to produce a value that an investor can compare with the security's current price in hopes of figuring out what sort of position to take with that security (underpriced = buy, overpriced = sell or short). AlphaCore utilizes this methodology primarily for its single stock portfolios. The risk associated with fundamental analysis is that it is somewhat subjective. This interpretation may be wrong and could therefore lead to an unfavorable investment decision. Qualitative Macro – Macro analysis involves the review of historical relative performance of various risk factors including but not limited to equity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, commodity risk and shock risk potential. By incorporating a review of these factors and how they relate to the current market environment we can provide a framework for an allocation that we believe can help deliver on our clients’ objectives. This method of analysis is primarily utilized for passive, broad-based ETF exposures with specific geographic, thematic, or factor- based investment styles. Risks associated with qualitative macro analysis involve the subjectivity of the interpretation of the data itself. Even if the various risks described above are evaluated, there is no guarantee those risk factors will necessarily provide positive returns. In fact, they may contribute to potential loss. Manager Due Diligence Process – AlphaCore delivers investment exposure to various assets and strategies by investing in commingled funds, which may include but is not limited to traditional and alternative mutual funds, closed end funds, exchange traded funds, and other registered and unregistered funds such as real estate investment trusts and hedge funds. The investment review process for manager selection involves both a qualitative and quantitative assessment of their strategy and personnel. Qualitative aspects of the research process may include onsite due diligence meetings, a series of calls with the investment team, review of the overall investment company/firm, and assessing the overall consistency and ability of a manager to execute on their stated investment strategy. 19  The quantitative review process is intended to complement qualitative analysis. Quantitatively driven analysis may help monitor manager performance, measure and help frame the historical consistency/inconsistencies of their returns, and help in better understanding the manager’s sources of risk being taken in their investment strategy. Risks associated with manager selection may include, but are not limited to negative performance outcomes, style drift, underlying liquidity issues, and personnel turnover/keyman risks. Clients of firms acquired by AlphaCore may continue to use their existing managers. We honor these arrangements for these clients who after an initial period are typically limited to holding these investments without making new purchases. Investment Strategies AlphaCore aims to create investment portfolios based on the investment objectives, risk tolerance, and individual financial situations of each client. AlphaCore’s investment strategies consider the clients’ short- and long-term financial objectives, retirement horizon, liquidity needs and tolerance for risk. AlphaCore periodically reviews changes in clients’ needs, as well as economic and market conditions. When recommending any investment, AlphaCore is sensitive to expenses and fees as they relate to added value and return. AlphaCore primarily focuses on long-term investment strategies (i.e., investments held for an entire market cycle). More specifically, the AlphaCore model portfolio emphasizes alternative investments alongside traditional investments to provide multi-asset class diversification. The strategies and asset classes that AlphaCore may trade are a significant portion of the global investment universe. AlphaCore may invest directly in these strategies and asset classes, or AlphaCore may invest in funds or partnerships that allocate to these strategies and asset classes. We may also outsource discretionary mandates to external managers to oversee and manage client accounts directly through SMA relationships. Investment models may include non-daily liquid holdings, and investors will be subject to illiquidity for some portion of their overall portfolio allocation. Some of these SMAs may be long only formats, or at times, may also take on form of additional leverage. Instruments Traded When we put together portfolios, AlphaCore’s objective is to make those portfolios more resilient by allocating to alternatives in addition to stocks and bonds. But alternatives are not totally separate from traditional investments. “Alternatives” is really just a catch-all term, referring to anything other than traditional stocks, bonds, or cash. The applications, therefore, are as varied as the investments themselves. We classify alternatives into two primary buckets: “alternative strategies” and “alternative asset classes.” The essence of alternative strategies lies in their ability to hedge against market risks, offering a buffer during volatility without directly mirroring market movements. 20  Conversely, alternative asset classes focus on investments that are not publicly traded, such as private equity or private credit, offering potential for higher returns due to their less liquid nature and use of leverage. These characteristics can also increase investment risk. Alternative Asset Classes - AlphaCore may recommend investments in alternative asset classes that resemble traditional equity and fixed income exposures but are not publicly traded. These may include private equity, private credit, private real estate, infrastructure, and other private market investments. Such investments typically involve ownership interests or loans to private companies or assets that are not listed on public exchanges and may be structured using leverage. Depending on suitability, qualification, and sophistication of the client, alternative asset class exposures may be accessed through drawdown funds, closed-end structures, interval or tender offer funds, and other vehicles that are subject to limited liquidity, capital commitments, and extended holding periods, with valuations typically determined on a periodic, rather than continuous, basis. Alternative Strategies - AlphaCore seeks to provide clients with portfolio diversification through a variety of strategies that may offer returns not highly correlated with US or foreign stocks, bonds or hard assets. These may include liquid and illiquid securities focused on managed futures, merger arbitrage, long-short equity, long-short credit, global macro, specialty strategies, equity market neutral, interest rate hedges and diversified strategies which may include relative value, event-driven, directional, pairs trading, multi-strategy and multi-manager strategies. Depending on suitability, qualification and sophistication of the client, the alternative investments may include daily liquid mutual funds, closed end funds with limited liquidity as well as private placements, which can be subject to more even longer redemption terms. Bonds - There is a wide variety of bond categories that AlphaCore can recommend at various times, which include, but are not limited to: • US Government, TIPS, municipals, floating rate, adjustable agency, mortgage-backed, convertible; • Asset-backed, corporate, foreign; • From high quality and investment grade to high yield and distressed; • Durations may include ultra-short, short, intermediate and long term bonds; • Individual bonds may be laddered, actively managed in a Separately Managed Account (“SMA”), mutual fund structure, and/or fixed income investments may also include index funds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), and exchange traded notes (“ETNs”). Cash and Cash Equivalents – These are short-term in nature and are set aside for future cash needs and for ultra-conservative allocations. These include money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and treasury bills. Derivatives – These include options contracts on indices, equities, fixed income securities or futures contracts, and swaps. 21  Equities – AlphaCore invests in the full spectrum of equities including individual stocks, exchange traded funds, index and actively managed mutual funds. US stocks are diversified by style and size of companies, as well as management methodology. Foreign stocks include both developed and emerging markets and, at times, with currency hedges in place. Hard Assets – Hard assets may benefit from rising prices and may perform better in an inflationary environment. AlphaCore can utilize securities investing in hard assets to further diversify portfolios and as an inflation hedge. Categories may include: • Diversified commodities indices; • ETFs whose underlying holdings are futures on hard assets or hard assets themselves; • ETFs whose underlying holdings are companies that are in the upstream, midstream or downstream vertical of a particular category of hard assets; • Futures contracts related to commodities indices or individual commodities; • Cryptocurrency and/or blockchain; • Actively managed companies that produce or distribute commodities; • Hard assets may be in individual holdings or holdings in actively managed mutual funds, Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), exchange traded fund, and/or exchange traded notes; and • Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), including but not limited to, Delaware Statutory Trusts and “1031 exchange” funds. Risk of Loss Alternative Investing – Securities such as closed end funds, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital funds, commodity pools and other alternative investments involve a high degree of risk and can be illiquid due to restrictions on transfer and lack of a secondary trading market. They can be highly leveraged, speculative, and volatile, and an investor could lose all, more or a substantial amount of an investment. In addition, these types of securities may be subject to higher fees and expenses. Alternative investments may lack transparency as to share price, valuation and portfolio holdings. Complex tax structures often result in delayed tax reporting. Compared to mutual funds, such funds are subject to less regulation and often charge higher fees and may include performance based or incentive fees. These funds involve risk including possible loss of all principal. Alternative investment managers typically exercise broad investment discretion and may apply similar strategies across multiple investment vehicles, resulting in less diversification. Trading may occur outside the United States which may pose greater risks than trading on U.S. exchanges and in U.S. markets. Each client should carefully read all offering materials and consult legal, tax and other advisers prior to making an investment decision. Certain alternative investments, including direct or indirect exposure to hard assets such as cryptocurrency or real estate, involve unique risks such as liquidity limitations and potentially dramatic and rapid price volatility. This coupled with reduced or very limited liquidity may result in investors having to withstand periods of high price and market volatility. In addition, alternative investments are often not registered products and therefore have more limited 22  transparency and reporting, as well as short or limited performance and other history to evaluate prior to making an investment decision. These are generally long-term investments. An investor may be subject to long redemption and redemption notice periods, lock ups or “gates” which impose multiple year investment timelines or redemption periods (which may include a customary 5%-10% holdback until after completion of an audit at fiscal year-end), redemption fees, and generally higher fees which typically include a performance or incentive fee. Tax reporting, if in the form of a K-1 for a private fund, will be delayed (usually 120-180 days after year end) and may require tax filing extensions. Often these funds have complex tax reporting issues that require additional tax form filings as well. Company Risk - When directly or indirectly investing in stocks or other securities, there is always a certain level of company or industry specific risk that is inherent in each investment. This is also referred to as unsystematic risk and can be reduced through appropriate diversification. There is the risk that the company will perform poorly or have its value reduced based on factors specific to the company or its industry. For example, if a company’s employees go on strike or the company receives unfavorable media attention for its actions, the value of the company may be reduced. Cybersecurity Risk - The computer systems, networks and devices used by AlphaCore and service providers to us and our clients to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches. Despite the various protections utilized, systems, networks, or devices potentially can be breached. A client could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach. Cybersecurity breaches can include, but are not limited to, unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches may cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to a client; impediments to trading; the inability by us and other service providers to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of confidential information. Similar adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity breaches affecting issuers of securities in which a client invests; governmental and other regulatory authorities; exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions; and other parties. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred by these entities to prevent any cybersecurity breaches in the future. 23  Derivatives Risk - There are risks associated with transacting in derivatives. Using derivatives creates leverage, which can magnify client’s potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility and may fluctuate greatly over short periods. A buyer of a put or call option risks losing the entire premium invested in the option if a client does not exercise the option. Use of swaps or other over the counter derivatives involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. ETF and Mutual Fund Risk – When investing in an ETF or mutual fund, a client will bear additional expenses based on the client’s pro rata share of the ETF’s or mutual fund’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF or mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF or mutual fund holds. A client will also incur brokerage and/or transaction costs when purchasing ETFs or mutual funds. Equity (stock) Market Risk – When directly or indirectly investing in stocks or other securities, you are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. If a client held common stock, or common stock equivalents, of any given issuer, the client would generally be exposed to greater risk than if a client held preferred stocks and debt obligations of the issuer. Fixed Income Risk - When directly or indirectly investing in bonds or other fixed income securities, there is the risk that the issuer will default on the bond and be unable to make payments. Further, individuals who depend on set amounts of periodically paid income face the risk that inflation will erode their spending power. Fixed-income investors receive set, regular payments that face the same inflation risk. Liquidity Risk – Investing directly or indirectly in certain assets such as hard assets, over the counter derivatives, or in structures such limited partnerships can be illiquid due to restrictions on sales, transfer and lack of a secondary trading market. Transactions may incur higher transaction costs or fees, and an investor may bear ongoing market risk while subject to restrictions on sales. Liquid Alternative Investments – Alternative strategy mutual funds and exchange traded funds may be subject to a higher degree of volatility, and potentially a higher degree of regulatory risk as certain strategies and trading methodologies are under a degree of regulatory scrutiny. Certain alternative investment products may be new to the marketplace, and have a limited history of operations, and may be subject to higher expenses, and expense ratios may be higher during an initial asset raising period. Many strategies by nature are non-correlated to traditional markets and therefore may not participate fully in traditional market returns or may lose money while most traditional markets are making money. 24  Management Risk – A client’s investment with AlphaCore varies with the success and failure of our investment strategies, research, analysis and determination of portfolio securities. If our investment strategies do not produce the expected returns, the value of the investment will decrease. Market Risk – Stock market as a whole or the value of an individual company, goes down resulting in a decrease in the value of client investments. This is also referred to as systemic risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Therefore, a client should never assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable. Investing in securities (including stocks, mutual funds, unregistered funds, exchange traded funds and bonds, etc.) involves risk of loss. Further, depending on the different types of investments there may be varying degrees of risk. A client should be prepared to bear investment loss including loss of original principal. Because of the inherent risk of loss associated with investing, AlphaCore is unable to represent, guarantee, or even imply that our services and methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate a client from losses due to market corrections or declines. Item 9: Disciplinary Information There is no past or pending legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of our business or integrity. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations While AlphaCore has other investment advisers and sponsors of pooled investment vehicles under common control with an equity owner, we do not view this as material to our business as we are operationally independent from the affiliates. For example, with respect to these affiliates, AlphaCore does not; (i) have business dealing in connection with advisory services we provide to our clients, (ii) we do not conduct shared operations, (iii) we do not refer clients or business to them nor do they refer prospective clients or business to us, (iv) we do not share employees or premises, and (v) we have no reason to believe that our relationship with the such affiliates otherwise creates a conflict of interest with our clients. 25  AlphaCore is the sole owner of AlphaCore Insurance Services. Formed in November 2021 AlphaCore Insurance Services commenced operations in March 2022 for the purpose of providing insurance planning and services to AlphaCore’s advisory clients. As noted in Item 5, certain investment adviser representatives of AlphaCore are also registered insurance agents with AlphaCore Insurance Services. This business activity creates a conflict of interest. For example, as outlined in Item 5 above, from time-to-time, they may recommend various insurance products to AlphaCore clients and, when an insurance product is purchased by a client, they will receive commissions. If clients elect (though they are not required to do so to obtain advisory services) to conduct business through AlphaCore Insurance Services, AlphaCore will also share in insurance commissions. The fact AlphaCore Insurance Services and AlphaCore representatives will receive compensation creates an incentive to make such recommendations, which in turn creates a conflict. Clients are not obligated to implement insurance recommendations and have the option to purchase any recommended insurance products through other non-affiliated insurance agents. AlphaCore and its investment adviser representatives endeavor at all times to put the interests of the clients first, and recommendations will only be made to the extent that they are reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the client. While Insurance Agents devote as much time to the business and affairs of AlphaCore as is necessary to perform their duty as investment adviser representatives, they also devote a portion of their time to performing services for this outside business activity. Having outside business activities create conflicts of interest, including time away from their duties performed for AlphaCore as investment adviser representatives. The conflicts outlined above are disclosed to clients at the time of entering into an advisory agreement, mainly through the delivery of this Disclosure Brochure (ADV Part 2A) and the investment adviser representative’s ADV Part 2B Supplement Brochure. Unaffiliated Investment Adviser Arrangements As described in Item 4 and Item 5, we may select independent, third-party investment advisers to serve as Sub-Advisers for clients in our investment advisory services programs. We do not receive a referral fee or solicitor fee from such Sub-Advisers. The only compensation we receive is the management fee we charge directly to our clients. Sub-Advisers will also bill clients directly, but our fees are completely separate from the fees charged by Sub-Advisers (please refer to Item 5 for more details). This policy helps us avoid selecting Sub-Advisers based on our economic interests. Instead, we select Sub-Advisers we believe are most appropriate for our clients absent additional economic benefits we could receive from a third-party Sub-Adviser. As disclosed in prior items, AlphaCore has agreements with other investment advisers whereby AlphaCore is compensated on a percentage of assets under management per annum to provide shareholder and other servicing with certain underlying investors. iCapital Advisors, LLC is an investment adviser registered with the SEC and is wholly owned by Institutional Capital Network, Inc. iCapital Advisors provides investment advisory services to various private funds it sponsors for which AlphaCore provides its services. iCapital also 26  provides advisory and distribution services to one registered closed end fund. iCapital Securities, LLC is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA. iCapital Securities, LLC will compensate AlphaCore with respect to certain shareholder services related to investors in the registered closed end fund. Please refer to Item 14 for disclosure of conflicts of interest. Participation in Schwab Advisor Services Advisory Board Mr. Pfister, the CEO & President of AlphaCore, serves on the Schwab Advisor Services Advisory Board (the “Advisory Board”). AlphaCore may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) and/or its affiliates to maintain custody of the clients’ assets and effect trades for their accounts. The Advisory Board consists of representatives of independent investment advisory firms who have been invited by Schwab management to participate in meetings and discussions of Schwab Advisor Services’ services for independent investment advisory firms and their clients. Generally, Board members serve for two-year terms. Advisory Board members enter into a nondisclosure agreement with Schwab under which they agree not to disclose confidential information shared with them. This information generally does not include material nonpublic information about the Charles Schwab Corporation, whose common stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol SCHW). The Advisory Board meets in person or virtually approximately twice per year and has periodic conference calls scheduled as needed. Advisory Board members are not compensated by Schwab for their service, but Schwab does pay for or reimburse Advisory Board members’ travel, lodging, meals, and other incidental expenses incurred in attending Advisory Board meetings. Schwab may also provide members of the Advisory Board with a fee waiver for attendance at Schwab conferences such as IMPACT. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics Summary An investment adviser is considered a fiduciary and has a fiduciary duty to all clients. AlphaCore has established a Code of Ethics to comply with the requirements of the securities laws and regulations that reflects its fiduciary obligations and those of its supervised persons. The Code of Ethics also requires compliance with federal securities laws. AlphaCore’s Code of Ethics covers all individuals that are classified as “Supervised Persons” (i.e., any officers, partners, directors (or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), or employees, or any person who provides investment advice for AlphaCore). AlphaCore requires its Supervised Persons to consistently act in a client’s best interest in all advisory 27  activities. AlphaCore imposes certain requirements on its Supervised Persons to ensure that they meet AlphaCore’s fiduciary responsibilities to our clients. This section is intended to provide a summary description of the Code of Ethics of AlphaCore. For a full copy of our Code of Ethics, please send a written request to our main address, email complianceteam@alphacore.com, or call us at 858-875-4100. Affiliate and Employee Personal Securities Transactions Disclosure AlphaCore or Supervised Persons of AlphaCore may buy or sell for their personal accounts, investment products identical to those recommended to clients. This creates a potential conflict of interest. It is the express policy of AlphaCore that all persons supervised in any manner with AlphaCore must place clients’ interests ahead of their own when implementing personal investments. AlphaCore and its Supervised Persons must not buy or sell securities for their personal account(s) where their decision is derived, in whole or in part, by information obtained as a result of employment or association with AlphaCore unless the information is also available to the investing public upon reasonable inquiry. We believe we are, and will continue to be, in compliance with applicable state and federal rules and regulations. To mitigate potential conflicts of interest, we have developed written supervisory procedures that include personal investment and trading policies for our representatives, employees and their immediate family members (collectively, supervised persons): • Supervised Persons will not place their own interests ahead of any client. • Supervised persons are subject to restrictions regarding transactions of certain securities transacted in client accounts. • Supervised persons cannot buy or sell securities for their personal accounts when those decisions are based on information obtained as a result of their employment, unless that information is also available to the investing public upon reasonable inquiry. • Supervised persons are discouraged from conducting frequent personal trading. • Supervised persons are prohibited from serving as board members of publicly traded companies, unless approval has been granted by the Chief Compliance Officer of AlphaCore. • Supervised persons must report their transactions and holdings in certain securities. Any Supervised Person not observing our policies is subject to sanctions up to and including termination for recurring and/or egregious behavior. As discussed in Item 5: Fees and Compensation, AlphaCore provides sub-advisory services to fund(s) advised and sponsored by iCapital Advisors, LLC. An affiliate of AlphaCore, Strategic Access LLC, is eligible to receive “carried interest” (i.e., a percentage of profits) from fund(s) in accordance with the fund(s) offering and governing materials. This will result in a conflict of 28  interest to the extent AlphaCore recommends clients invest in the fund(s). To the extent AlphaCore clients invest in such a fund, AlphaCore will not receive a sub-advisory management fee from the fund. In addition to AlphaCore clients, employees and partners of AlphaCore are also permitted to invest in the fund(s). Gifts and Entertainment Gifts shall not be given to induce the recipient to favor AlphaCore or in exchange for the recipient’s actions that benefited AlphaCore. Supervised Persons may not accept or give any gift or other item of more than $250 in value per year to or from any person or entity that does business with or on behalf of AlphaCore. Supervised Persons are prohibited from giving or accepting cash or gift certificates or gift cards that are either convertible into cash, or not directly associated with a specific retailer or service provider. Supervised Persons are required to report all gifts given and received to Compliance at the time the gift was given and/or received. Gifts are recorded in AlphaCore’s books and records. A Supervised Person is prohibited from giving or receiving any entertainment (1) that is deemed extravagant, lavish or could affect the independent judgment of the recipient or (2) given or received with the purpose to obtain, retain, or direct business. Prior approval must be obtained from the CEO or CCO for entertainment that exceeds $500 per person per event in value. Entertainment differs from gifts, in that it requires the presence of a Supervised Person. Item 12: Brokerage Practices Broker Selection When AlphaCore implements our investment advice, we are responsible for adhering to best execution fiduciary obligations. Best execution does not necessarily mean that clients receive the lowest possible price and/or commission costs but that the qualitative execution is best. Generally, AlphaCore does execute trades directly with the client’s custodian to avoid additional trading related expenses. In other words, all conditions considered, the transaction execution is in a client’s best interest. When considering best execution and whether the services that your custodian provides are, overall, most advantageous to you when compared with other available providers and their services, we take into account a number of factors besides prices and rates including, but not limited to: • Combination of transaction execution capabilities (e.g., market expertise, ease/reliability/timeliness of execution, responsiveness, integration with our existing 29  systems, ease of monitoring investments) and asset custody services (generally without a separate fee for custody) • Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account) • Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests, bill payment, etc) • Products and services offered (e.g., investment programs, back office services, technology, regulatory compliance assistance, research and analytic services) • Financial strength, stability and responsibility • Reputation and integrity • Ability to maintain confidentiality • Prior service to us and our clients • Services delivered and paid for by the custodian We exercise reasonable due diligence to make certain that best execution is obtained for all clients when implementing any transaction by considering the back office services, technology and pricing of services offered. As discussed in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation, clients may elect between paying per transaction or based on account assets under management. AlphaCore will assist with an evaluation of account and asset characteristics to elect the most appropriate option. At any given time, a client may incur more or less in transaction charges depending on the pricing selection, due to varying and fluctuating factors such as assets under management, minimum fees imposed, trading maximums, and trading frequency. AlphaCore does not have a related company that is a broker-dealer. Custodial Arrangements Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services - AlphaCore does not maintain custody of your assets on which we advise, although we are deemed to have custody (See Item 15 - Custody below). Your assets must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker-dealer or a bank. We may recommend that clients open accounts directly at Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services as a result of our participation in the Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services program. Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services, a division of Fidelity, Inc. is a registered broker-dealer, member FINRA/SIPC/NFA (“Fidelity”) and will serve as the client’s qualified custodian and maintain physical custody of all client funds and securities, along with effecting trades in clients’ accounts held at Fidelity. Although AlphaCore may recommend that a client establish accounts at Fidelity, it is the client’s decision to custody assets with Fidelity. AlphaCore is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Fidelity. Fidelity provides AlphaCore with access to their institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to retail investors. The services from Fidelity include brokerage, custody, research and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise 30  generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. Fidelity’s institutional services also provide access to products and services (as part institutional wealth services or paid for by AlphaCore) which assist AlphaCore in servicing its clients and their accounts. Some of these other products and services assist us in managing and administering client accounts. These include software and other technology which provides account access, portfolio management, accounting, back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services may also provide other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business, such as research, regulatory compliance, and other services. These products and services may present a conflict of interest in the event we recommend a specific custodian. Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. - AlphaCore does not maintain custody of your assets on which we advise, although we are deemed to have custody of your assets if you give us authority to withdraw assets from your account (See Item 15 – Custody, below). Your assets must be maintained in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker-dealer or a bank. AlphaCore also may recommend Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a registered broker- dealer, member SIPC, to clients to serve as qualified custodian of the client’s assets and to effect trades for their account(s). AlphaCore is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. Although AlphaCore may recommend that you use Schwab as custodian/broker, you will decide whether to do so and will open your account with Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with them. Conflicts of interest associated with this arrangement are described below as well in Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation. You should consider these conflicts of interest when selecting your custodian. Even though your account is maintained at Schwab, and we anticipate that most trades will be executed through Schwab, we can still use other brokers to execute trades for your account as described at the beginning of this Item 12. Schwab provides AlphaCore with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisers on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the adviser’s clients’ assets are maintained at Schwab Institutional. These services are not contingent upon AlphaCore committing to Schwab any specific amount of business (assets in custody or trading commissions). Schwab’s brokerage services include the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require significantly higher minimum initial investment. For clients’ accounts that Schwab maintains, Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody services but is compensated by charging you commissions or other transaction-related or asset-based fees on trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into your Schwab 31  account. Schwab is also compensated by earning interest on the uninvested cash in your account in Schwab’s Cash Features Program. In addition to the commissions and other fees, Schwab charges you a fee for “prime broker” or “trade away” services for each trade that we have executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into your Schwab account. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other compensation you pay the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we have Schwab execute for your account most trades that it can execute. We are not required to select the broker or dealer that charges the lowest transaction cost, even if that broker provides execution quality comparable to other brokers or dealers. Although we are not required to execute all trades through Schwab, we have determined that having Schwab execute most trades is consistent with our duty to seek "best execution" of your trades. Best execution means the most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above (See Broker Selection). By using another broker or dealer you may pay lower transaction costs. Schwab Products and Services Available to AlphaCore: Schwab Advisor Services™ is Schwab's business serving independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide us and our clients with access to their institutional brokerage services (trading, custody, reporting, and related services), many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. However, certain retail investors may be able to get institutional brokerage services from Schwab without going through us. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients' accounts, while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab's support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis (we don't have to request them) and at no charge to us. Following is a more detailed description of Schwab's support services. Schwab Services That Benefit You: Schwab's institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab's services described in this paragraph generally benefit you and your account. Schwab Services That Do Not Directly Benefit You: Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but do not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients' accounts and operating our firm. They include investment research, both Schwab's own and that of third parties. We use this research to service many of our clients' accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other technology that: (i) provides access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide pricing and other market data; 32  (iv) facilitate payment of AlphaCore’s fees from some of its accounts; and (v) assist with back- office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Schwab Services That Generally Benefit Only AlphaCore: Schwab offers other services intended to help AlphaCore manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services include: (i) educational conferences and events, (ii) consulting on technology and business needs; (iii) publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; (iv) access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers; and (v) marketing consulting and support. Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide us with other benefits such as occasional business entertainment of our personnel. These products and services may present a conflict of interest in the event we recommend a specific custodian. If you do not maintain your account with Schwab, we would be required to pay for those services from our own resources. Schwab Advisor Network® - As discussed in Item 5, AlphaCore may receive client referrals from Schwab through AlphaCore’s participation in Schwab Advisor Network® (“the Service”). Please also refer to Item 14 for the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest. Other Custodians - AlphaCore may provide advisory services to clients that have selected other custodians for certain assets. AlphaCore has the ability and authority to place buy and sell orders with or through any broker-dealers it deems will provide the best overall services and execution at the time of the transaction. Custodians may provide capital introduction services which facilitate the introduction of certain money managers to AlphaCore through, but not limited to, sponsored conferences, informal meetings and other similar events. While AlphaCore is not under any obligation to recommend such managers, a custodian may have a conflict of interest since it may have or may develop one or more business relationships with manager including, but not limited to, acting as a prime broker, broker or trading counterparty. Accordingly, any investment may result in a financial benefit to the custodian and/or its affiliates. While as a fiduciary, AlphaCore endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, AlphaCore’s recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at any specific custodian may take into account availability of some of the foregoing products, services, or other arrangements and not solely on the cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by a custodian, which may create a conflict of interest with AlphaCore’s recommendation of a custodian. Although AlphaCore may recommend that a client establish accounts with a particular custodian, and may have an incentive to recommend one, it is the client’s decision where to custody their assets. Client Directed Brokerage AlphaCore does not currently permit directed brokerage arrangements. 33  Aggregation and Allocation of Trades Trades for each client may be executed independently. In the event AlphaCore is transacting liquid securities (i.e., those that trade continuously during market hours); for multiple client accounts, AlphaCore will seek to aggregate the trades so they can be executed in blocks simultaneously. This is known as block trading and is executed on a per-custodian basis. Filled block orders are allocated to accounts at an average price. It is possible that clients receive different average prices for aggregated trades executed on the same trading day if the orders are executed at different custodians or at different times during a trading day. In the event an aggregated order is only partially filled by the end of a trading day, the partial fill will be allocated among the participating accounts on a pro rata basis. AlphaCore provides advisory services to many clients, some of which may have similar investment objectives. Aggregated trading may include transactions for employee accounts This is done to avoid certain trading conflicts of interest (e.g., trading in advance of or following client trades). Accounts may be managed by unaffiliated Sub-Advisers who have different policies than AlphaCore’s policies when managing client accounts. You are encouraged to review the Sub- Adviser’s Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure. Trade Error Correction If a trade error occurs, AlphaCore will endeavor to correct the trade error and may place a correcting trade with the custodian which has custody of your account so that the account is made whole for direct losses that resulted from the error. If the gain does not remain in your account, the custodian has been directed to donate the amount of any gain to charity. If a loss occurs, AlphaCore will pay for the loss. Please note certain custodians, including Schwab will maintain the loss or gain (if such gain is not retained in your account) if it is under $100 to minimize and offset its administrative time and expense. Generally, if related trade errors result in both gains and losses in your account, they may be netted. It may not always be possible for a client to retain a gain that results from a trade error. Item 13: Review of Accounts Account Reviews and Reviewers Managed accounts are generally reviewed quarterly and/or upon request of a client. Account reviews may include, but are not limited to, investment strategy, account performance, changes to the client’s financial condition or objectives. Reviews are conducted by one or more 34  of our investment adviser representatives with reviews performed in accordance with a client’s investment goals and objectives. Institutional services typically have a contract which sets forth the terms and frequency of the contracted services but are typically at least quarterly dependent on the nature of the services being provided by AlphaCore. Statements and Reports For our investment advisory services, clients are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular quarterly account statements directly from their custodian(s). Additionally, AlphaCore may provide written position or performance reports to clients periodically and upon request. Reporting may also include details of financial planning projections and updates. Clients are encouraged to compare any reports or statements provided by us, a sub-adviser or a third-party money manager, against the account statements delivered from the qualified custodian or issuer. Neither AlphaCore’s reporting, nor access to any third-party system or sub- adviser’s reporting, is intended to replace the information contained in client’s custodial brokerage statement and/or issuer statements (as applicable), which is the primary representation of the activity and valuations in your account(s). When clients have questions about their account statement, they should contact AlphaCore or the custodian or issuer preparing the account statement. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation The only direct client compensation received by AlphaCore are the fees charged for providing investment advisory services as described in Item 5 of this Disclosure Brochure. But, AlphaCore does have certain arrangements that result in economic benefit to AlphaCore, as described below. AlphaCore has agreements in place whereby AlphaCore is compensated to provide shareholder services to certain fund investors. These clients have received disclosure regarding this arrangement, the services provided and all associated compensation. This compensation presents conflicts of interest between AlphaCore and the investors it services under these agreements. For example, AlphaCore may make less revenue if AlphaCore recommends a redemption from a fund for which AlphaCore is compensated. AlphaCore intends to mitigate such conflicts of interest by: (i) placing its client’s investment needs above its own interests with regard to compensation; (ii) supervising AlphaCore advisory representatives to ensure that they understand and consider each client’s investment objectives; and (iii) evaluating and presenting information regarding its funds objectively. To the extent fund investors elect to enter into an asset management agreement with AlphaCore, AlphaCore may owe fees for the initial introduction of the client to AlphaCore. These fees are paid by AlphaCore as a portion of collected advisory fees and do not affect the fees paid by the client directly to AlphaCore. 35  Investment product sponsors or business relationships may underwrite a portion of costs incurred by AlphaCore for marketing such as client appreciation events, advertising, publishing, and seminar expenses. Though AlphaCore does not generate profit from these sponsorships, this creates a conflict of interest as there is an incentive for AlphaCore to recommend certain products and investments based on the receipt of this compensation instead of what is in the best interest of our clients. We manage this conflict by basing investment decisions on the individual needs of our clients. We receive an economic benefit our custodians in the form of support products and services they make available to us and other independent investment advisers whose clients maintain their accounts with them, including client referrals as set forth below. In addition, Schwab has also agreed to pay for certain products and services for which we would otherwise have to pay once the value of our clients’ assets in accounts at Schwab reaches a certain size. You do not pay more for assets maintained at Schwab as a result of these arrangements. However, we benefit from the arrangement because the cost of these services would otherwise be borne directly by us. You should consider these conflicts of interest when selecting a custodian. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above (See Item 12 – Brokerage Practices). The availability of these products and services is not based on AlphaCore providing particular investment advice, such as transactions in particular securities. Certain partners of AlphaCore own 105,094 Series D Compensatory units of Alternative Fund Advisors LLC (AFA LLC). A substantial conflict of interest arises if AlphaCore recommends a mutual fund managed by AFA LLC as part of a client’s portfolio because AlphaCore could receive both investment advisory fees for managing the client’s portfolio and certain partners of AlphaCore would receive a portion of the fund’s management fees. In the event AFA LLC becomes profitable, clients who invest in an AFA LLC Fund will be reimbursed the proportion of income the partners receive from AFA LLC Funds related to the client investments. Client Referrals AlphaCore has certain arrangements in place whereby AlphaCore compensates others for client referrals, as described below. AlphaCore has entered into arrangements with third parties who may refer potential clients to AlphaCore. All such agreements are in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act. When a prospective client is introduced to AlphaCore and then becomes a client, AlphaCore pays the referring party a fee from its advisory fees. While the specific terms of each arrangement may differ, generally, the compensation paid to the third party is based upon the engagement and retention of new clients and is calculated using a varying percentage of the advisory fees paid by each client. Such compensation creates an incentive for the referring party to refer clients to AlphaCore, which is a conflict of interest for the referring party. Rule 206(4)-1 under the Advisers Act addresses this conflict of interest by, 36  among other things, requiring disclosure of whether the promoter is a client or a non-client and a description of the material conflicts of interest and material terms of the compensation arrangement with the promoter. Such compensation does not increase the fees paid by the Client. Each prospective client who is referred to AlphaCore under such an arrangement will receive a copy of AlphaCore’s Form ADV Part 2 and a separate written disclosure statement disclosing the nature of the relationship between the third-party referral party and AlphaCore, which will disclose whether the referring party is a client or non-client, the material conflicts of interest arising from the relationship and/or compensation arrangement and the material terms of the compensation agreement, including the amount of compensation that will be paid by AlphaCore to the referral source. Schwab Advisor Network® As discussed in Item 5, AlphaCore receives client referrals from Schwab through AlphaCore’s participation in Schwab Advisor Network® (“the Service”). Please note in addition to the fees paid by AlphaCore to Schwab for the Service, the relationship does result in certain conflicts of interest between AlphaCore and its clients: • Due to its enrollment in the Service, AlphaCore may have an incentive to generally recommend the services of Schwab, versus other custodians, in an effort to influence Schwab’s referral of clients; • Due to higher fees that would be otherwise payable by AlphaCore, AlphaCore has an incentive to recommend referred clients utilize the custody services of Schwab; • The fees payable by AlphaCore to Schwab will be based on assets in accounts of AlphaCore’s clients who were referred by Schwab, and those referred clients’ family members living in the same household. Thus, AlphaCore will have incentives to encourage household members of clients referred through the Service to maintain custody of their accounts and execute transactions at Schwab and to instruct Schwab to debit AlphaCore’s fees directly from the accounts; • For accounts of AlphaCore’s clients maintained in custody at Schwab, Schwab will not charge the client separately for custody, but will receive compensation from AlphaCore’s clients in the form of commissions or other transaction-related compensation on securities trades executed through Schwab. In the event that AlphaCore executes securities transactions with another broker-dealer, Schwab also will receive a fee (generally lower than the applicable commission on trades it executes) for clearance and settlement of trades executed through broker-dealers other than Schwab. Schwab’s fees for trades executed at other broker-dealers are in addition to the other broker-dealer’s fees. Thus, AlphaCore may have an incentive to cause trades to be executed through Schwab rather than another broker-dealer. AlphaCore nevertheless acknowledges its duty to seek best execution of trades for client accounts. Trades for client accounts held in custody at Schwab may be executed through a different broker- dealer than trades for AlphaCore’s other clients. Thus, trades for accounts custodied at 37  Schwab may be executed at different times and different prices than trades for other accounts that are executed at other broker-dealers. Please also refer to Item 5 for disclosure of details on fees. Item 15: Custody Client accounts are held by qualified custodian(s) under the name of each client. The qualified custodians maintain physical custody of all funds and securities in client accounts, and clients retain all rights of ownership (e.g., right to withdraw securities or cash, exercise or delegate proxy voting and receive transaction confirmations of the assets in their account(s)). Custody, as it applies to investment advisers, has been defined by regulators as having access or control over client funds or securities. In other words, custody is not limited to physically holding client funds and securities. If an investment adviser has the ability to access or control client funds or securities, the investment adviser is deemed to have custody and must ensure proper procedures are implemented. Investment adviser representatives of AlphaCore do act as Trustee for one or more investment accounts and act as personal representative or executor of a client’s estate and the estate’s investment account. Services for an investment account are provided under an asset management agreement. In these instances, AlphaCore is deemed to have custody, and is required to comply with custody rule requirements, including the performance of a “surprise examination” once a year in which an independent public accountant confirms that we are in compliance with the custody rule related to such accounts. In addition, AlphaCore is deemed to have custody of client funds and securities whenever AlphaCore is given the authority to have fees deducted directly from client accounts. It is noted AlphaCore is typically given this authority to deduct fees from client accounts. When fees are deducted from an account, AlphaCore is responsible for calculating the investment advisory fees and delivering instructions to the custodian. The authorization to deduct fees and trade in client accounts is not deemed by regulators to be a form of custody requiring a “surprise examination”. AlphaCore may act on behalf of a client, pursuant to a standing letter of instruction or other similar asset transfer authorization arrangement established by a client with their custodian, to transfer client assets to one or more third parties upon the request of a client. AlphaCore is deemed to have custody of such assets in order to facilitate these directives for clients. It is noted the SEC set forth seven conditions whereby, if met by, the SEC would not recommend 38  enforcement action against an adviser under Section 206(4) of, and Rule 206(4)2 under, the Advisers Act if that adviser does not obtain a surprise examination to evaluate these specific accounts (as would otherwise be required for any adviser having custody of client assets). AlphaCore has established processes whereby we have a belief AlphaCore and client’s custodians are complying with such conditions and report such assets in Item 9 of AlphaCore’s Form ADV Part 1 as required. Therefore, AlphaCore does not engage a third-party examiner to conduct an annual surprise examination with respect to these accounts. For investment accounts in which AlphaCore is deemed to have custody, we have established procedures to ensure the accounts are held at a qualified custodian and are subject to an annual “surprise examination” if required. Clients or an independent representative of the client will direct, in writing, the establishment of all accounts and therefore are aware of the qualified custodian’s name, address and the manner in which the funds or securities are maintained. Finally, account statements are delivered directly from the qualified custodian to each client, or the client’s independent representative, at least quarterly. Clients should carefully review those statements and are urged to compare the statements against any reports received from AlphaCore. When clients have questions about their account statements, they should contact AlphaCore or the qualified custodian preparing the statement. Schwab Accounts: Under government regulations, we are deemed to have custody of your assets if, for example, you authorize us to instruct Schwab to deduct our advisory fees directly from your account or if you grant us authority to move your money to another person’s account. Schwab maintains actual custody of your assets. You will receive account statements directly from Schwab at least quarterly. They will be sent to the email or postal mailing address you provided to Schwab. You should carefully review those statements promptly when you receive them. We also urge you to compare Schwab’s account statements with the periodic portfolio reports you will receive from us. Item 16: Investment Discretion When providing investment advisory services, AlphaCore maintains trading authorization over a client’s account, and generally provides management services on a discretionary basis. Clients must provide AlphaCore with investment discretion on their behalf, typically pursuant to an executed asset management agreement. When discretionary authority is granted, we will have the authority to determine the type of securities and the amount of securities that can be bought or sold for a client’s account without obtaining client consent for each transaction. If a client decides to grant trading authorization on a non-discretionary basis, we will contact the client prior to implementing changes in their account, and clients will be contacted and will be required to accept or reject our investment recommendations including: 39  • The security being recommended; • The number of shares or units; and • Whether to buy or sell. Once the above factors are agreed upon, we will be responsible for making decisions regarding the timing of buying or selling an investment and the price at which the investment is bought or sold. If a client’s account is managed on a non-discretionary basis, the client should understand that if we are not able to obtain approval or the approval is delayed, it can have an adverse impact on the timing of trade implementations, and we may not achieve the optimal trading price. Clients will have the ability to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments that may be purchased in their accounts. Clients also may place reasonable limitations on the discretionary power granted to AlphaCore so long as the limitations are specifically set forth or included as an attachment to the client agreement. Even with discretion, AlphaCore does not render advice to or take any actions on behalf of clients with respect to any legal proceedings, including bankruptcies and shareholder litigation, to which any securities or other investments held in a client’s account, or the issuers thereof, become subject. AlphaCore also does not initiate or pursue legal proceedings, including without limitation shareholder litigation, on behalf of clients with respect to transactions, securities or other investments held in a client’s accounts. The right to take any actions with respect to legal proceedings, including shareholder litigation, is expressly reserved to the client. AlphaCore does not prepare or file proofs of claims in class action securities cases for clients. AlphaCore has engaged a vendor to provide a class action litigation claims service. AlphaCore provides data to the vendor consisting of clients’ securities trades and account information over assets AlphaCore manages to enable the vendor to identify qualifying trades which the vendor uses in filing proof of claims. The vendor’s contingency fee for monitoring class actions and filing claims is twenty percent (15%) of the settlement amount recovered for a client. AlphaCore does not pay any fee to the vendor, and AlphaCore does not receive any payment or compensation from the vendor. Clients living in Alaska, California, Louisiana, Maine, North Dakota, and Vermont must affirmatively opt-in to the service. A client may opt out of this service by notifying AlphaCore at complianceteam@alphacore.com. Item 17: Voting Client Securities Subject to specific exceptions whereby AlphaCore will contractually accept such responsibility, AlphaCore has a general policy of not voting proxies on behalf of clients for any securities held in a client’s managed account. However, AlphaCore has adopted certain policies in the event a situation presents itself whereby AlphaCore must execute this responsibility. For a copy of AlphaCore’s Proxy Voting Policy, please call the main number on the cover page of this Disclosure Brochure or email: 40  complianceteam@alphacore.com . If the client engages a Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser may (or may not) elect to vote proxies on behalf of its clients, as such policies will be set forth in the Sub-Adviser’s Form ADV Part 2A. Clients should expect to receive proxy solicitations directly from issuers or service providers engaged on behalf of an issuer, typically through mail and/or phone solicitation. Therefore, clients are instructed to read through the information provided with proxy-voting documents and make a determination based on the information provided. If requested, we may provide limited clarifications of the issues presented in the proxy voting materials based on our understanding of issues presented in the proxy-voting materials. However, clients will have the ultimate responsibility for making all proxy-voting decisions. Clients will usually receive proxies and proxy related documents directly from their custodian However, should AlphaCore inadvertently receive a proxy on a client’s behalf, we will promptly forward to the client for voting. AlphaCore will not be deemed to have proxy-voting authority solely as a result of providing advice or information about a particular proxy vote to a client. Item 18: Financial Information AlphaCore does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a balance sheet for the most recent fiscal year. We are not subject to a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. Finally, AlphaCore has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time. 41
