(“AWM,” “Atwater,” “the Firm,” “our,” or “we”) is an independent investment advisory firm. The firm’s founding member Caroline Gaffney started AWM in 2008 and organized the firm as a corporation in 2013. AWM registered as an independent investment adviser at both the state and federal level since December 23, 2014. Currently, we are registered as an investment adviser with the SEC and have notice filed with the appropriate states in which notice filings are required. AWM provides fee-only investment advisory services primarily to individual clients and high-net worth individuals. Investment strategies and recommendations are tailored to the individual needs of each client. Although AWM generally exercises limited investment discretion for each account that it advises, the portfolio composition within the same investment objective may, at any given time, differ as to composition. As a result, the performance of an account within a particular investment objective may differ from other accounts within that same investment objective. Clients should not expect that the performance of their portfolios will be identical to that of another client. These differences in portfolio composition are attributable to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of account, clients’ restrictions and guidelines, sizes, and significant account activity (e.g., significant number of contributions and/or withdrawals). In addition to investment advisory services, we also provide targeted financial advisory services on an as-needed basis. The financial advisory services include, but are not limited to, cash flow planning, retirement needs analysis, tax-efficient distribution strategies, gift and estate planning, insurance planning, annuity reviews, and education planning. As of December 31, 2025, AWM has $248,226,322 under management. All were managed on a discretionary basis, and $0 is managed on a non-discretionary basis. Asset Management We have an affirmative duty of care, loyalty, honesty, and good faith to act in the best interests of our clients. AWM must abide by honest and ethical business practices including, but not limited to: • Not inducing trading in a client's account that is excessive in size or frequency in view of the financial resources and character of the account; • Making recommendations with reasonable belief that they are appropriate based on the information furnished by the client; • Placing discretionary orders only after obtaining client’s written trading authorization contained within the advisory agreement or via separate amendment; • Not borrowing money or securities from, or lending money or securities to a client; • Not placing an order for the purchase or sale of a security if the security is not registered, or the security or transaction is not exempt from registration in the specific state; Page 4 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A We ensure that we will: • Allocate securities in a manner that is fair and equitable to all clients. • Not effect principal or agency-cross transactions for client accounts. IRA Rollover Recommendations For purposes of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02"), when applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to clients. When we provide investment advice to clients regarding their retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with client interests. We operate under an exemption that requires us to act in the clients’ best interest and not put our or our employees’ interest ahead of the clients. Under this exemption, we must: • meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice), • never put our or our employees’ financial interests ahead of the clients when making recommendations (give loyal advice), • avoid making misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments, follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that our and our employees give • advice that is in the clients’ best interest, • charge no more than is reasonable for services, and • give the clients basic information about conflicts of interest. We benefit financially from the rollover of the clients’ assets from a retirement account to an account that we manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when our and our employees believe it is in the client’s best interest. Wrap Fee Program AWM offers a Wrap Fee Program sponsored by LPL Financial as a platform, whereby AWM pays the transaction charges for all our clients who participate in AWM’s wrap fee program. Clients participating in a wrap fee arrangement pay a single fee for advisory, brokerage and custodial services. Atwater does not pass this charge on to the client, nor does Atwater increase its fee to compensate for these charges. AWM absorbs the transaction charges as a business expense. More information about the Wrap Fee Program can be found in our Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1. The overall cost you will incur if you participate in our wrap fee program may be higher or lower than you might incur by paying transaction costs separately. To compare the cost of the wrap fee program with non-wrap fee portfolio management services, you should consider the frequency of trading activity associated with our investment strategies, the brokerage commissions charged Page 5 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A other broker/dealers, and the advisory fees charged by investment advisers. We will review with clients any separate program fees that may be charged to clients. There is no difference in how wrap fee accounts are managed. All accounts are managed in the same manner as disclosed in our Brochure ADV Part 2A and in our Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1. Hourly Consulting Services AWM may provide consulting services on an hourly or fixed fee basis. These services may include, as selected by the client in the consulting agreement, advice regarding tax planning, investment planning, retirement planning, estate planning, cash flow/budget planning, business planning, education planning, and personal financial planning. The services consider information collected from the client such as financial status, investment objectives, and tax status, among other data. AWM may or may not deliver to the client a written analysis or report as part of the services. Consulting fees are tailored to the individual needs of the client based on the investment objective chosen by the client. The engagement terminates upon final consultation with and/or delivery of written analysis or report to the client. The specific manner in which fees are charged is established in a client’s written agreement with us. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation The specific way fees are charged by the firm is established in a client’s written agreement and account application between the client and AWM and is based on the following fee schedule. Fee Schedule: Annual Advisory Fee% Account Balance First $1,000,000.00 Next $1,000,001.00 - $5,000,000.00 Next $5,000,001.00 - $10,000,000.00 Next $10,000,001.00 + 1.00% 0.85% 0.65% 0.45% Our fees are payable quarterly, in advance. Fees are calculated based on the quarter end balance of the portfolio, as determined by the custodian, at the end of the previous quarter. We will generate invoices for all investment advisory clients on a quarterly basis. Each invoice reflects the amount to be debited by the custodian and paid to us for the upcoming quarter’s investment advisory fee, per the Account Agreement signed by the client at the inception of the agreement. Our clients authorize the account custodian to debit their client account for our investment advisory fee. At the inception of the relationship and each quarter thereafter, we will notify your custodian of the amount of the fee due and payable to us through our fee schedule and contract. The custodian does not validate or check our fee, its calculation, or the assets on which the fee is based. The custodian will “deduct” the fee from your account(s) or, if you have more than one account, from the account you have designated to pay our advisory fees. Fees may be negotiable based on previous relationships and other factors, such as aggregate level of assets with our firm, anticipated future earnings capacity at our firm, anticipated future additional assets at our firm, account composition at our firm, negotiations with the client, etc. Therefore, clients with similar assets under management and investment objectives may pay higher or lower fees than other clients. No increase in our fee(s) shall be effective without prior written notification to clients of at least thirty (30) days. Page 6 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A Each quarter you will receive a statement directly from your custodian showing all transactions, positions, and credits/debits into or from your account; the statements after the quarter-end will reflect these transactions, including the advisory fee paid by you to us. In some instances, we and the client may agree on a fee schedule different from that set forth above. The Account Agreement may be terminated at any time upon notice by either party. Fees paid in advance will be prorated to the date of termination and any unearned portion of the fee will be refunded to the client. Fees for consulting and financial planning services are charged on an hourly or fixed fee basis. The maximum hourly fee to be charged to any client will not exceed $500. Fixed fees range from $2,500.00 to $10,000.00. Fees for such services are negotiable. Fees are due upon execution of an Agreement with AWM, and we will deliver the financial plan and services within the first six months. The client generally makes a check payable to AWM for consulting and financial planning services. The total estimated fee, as well as the ultimate fee charged, is based on the scope and complexity of the engagement. AWM is not under any obligation to repay any portion of the fees paid prior to the termination of this agreement. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Atwater’s fee, and we do not receive any portion of these fees and costs. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-side Management Neither the firm nor any supervised persons accept performance-based fees, fees based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets of a client such as a hedge fund or other pooled investment vehicle. Item 7 – Types of Clients AWM provides investment advice to individuals and high net worth individuals. We ordinarily require a minimum of $2,000,000 in manageable assets to open and maintain an account. Exceptions may be made under certain circumstances (e.g., for related accounts and for the accounts of our personnel and their family members). Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss We emphasize continuous and regular account supervision. As part of our asset management service, we generally create a portfolio consisting of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, and separately managed accounts. We will also review and manage individual stocks or bonds, stock options, and other public and private securities or investments as appropriate. Page 7 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may include some or all the previously mentioned securities. Each portfolio will be initially designed to meet a particular investment goal, which we determine to be suitable for the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, we review the portfolio at least quarterly and if necessary, rebalance the portfolio based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Each client can place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. The firm uses a combination of fundamental and technical analysis to formulate investment advice when managing assets. Depending on the analysis, the firm will implement a long- or short-term trading strategy based on the objectives and risk tolerance of a particular client. Fundamental analysis involves an evaluation of the financial condition and competitive position of a particular fund or issuer which typically involves an analysis of an issuer’s management team, investment strategies, style, past performance, reputation, and financial strength in relation to the asset class concentrations and risk exposures of the firm’s model asset allocations. A substantial risk in relying upon fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and position of a company may be good, evolving market conditions may negatively impact the security. Technical analysis involves the examination of past market data rather than specific issuer information in determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of mathematical-based indicators and charts, such as moving averages and price correlations, to identify market patterns and trends which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. A substantial risk in relying upon technical analysis is that identifying historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that AWM will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and results will vary. General Risks Disclosures • Legal and Regulatory Matters Risks: Legal developments which may adversely impact investing and investment-related activities can occur at any time. “Legal Developments” means changes and other developments concerning foreign, as well as US federal, state and local laws and regulations, including adoption of new laws and regulations, amendment or repeal of existing laws and regulations, and changes in enforcement or interpretation of existing laws and regulations by governmental regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations (such as the SEC, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the US Federal Reserve and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). Our management of accounts may be adversely affected by the legal and/or regulatory consequences of transactions affected for the accounts. Accounts may also be adversely affected by changes in the enforcement or interpretation of existing statutes and rules by governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations. • System Failures and Reliance on Technology Risks: Our investment strategies, operations, research, communications, risk management, and back-office systems rely on technology, including hardware, software, telecommunications, internet-based platforms, and other electronic systems. Additionally, parts of the technology used are provided by third parties and are, therefore, beyond our direct control. We seek to ensure adequate backups of hardware, software, telecommunications, internet-based platforms, and other electronic systems, when possible, but there is no guarantee that our efforts will be successful. In addition, natural disasters, power interruptions and other events may cause system failures, Page 8 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A which will require the use of backup systems (both on- and off-site). Backup systems may not operate as well as the systems that they back up and may fail to properly operate, especially when used for an extended period. To reduce the impact a system failure may have, we continually evaluate our backup and disaster recovery systems and perform periodic checks on the backup systems’ conditions and operations. Despite our monitoring, hardware, telecommunications, or other electronic systems malfunctions may be unavoidable, and result in consequences such as the inability to trade for or monitor client accounts and portfolios. If such circumstances arise, the Investment Committee will consider appropriate measures for clients. • Cybersecurity Risk: A portfolio is susceptible to operational and information security risks due to the increased use of the internet. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyberattacks include, but are not limited to, infection by computer viruses or other malicious software code, gaining unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices through “hacking” or other means for the purpose of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cybersecurity failures or breaches by third-party service providers may cause disruptions and impact on the service providers’ and our business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement, or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. While we have established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to prevent or reduce the impact of such cyberattacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems due in part to the everchanging nature of technology and cyberattack tactics. • Pandemic Risks: The novel coronavirus rapidly became a pandemic and resulted in disruptions to the economies of many nations, individual companies, and the markets in general, the impact of which was material. This created closed borders, quarantines, supply impacting global markets in an chain disruptions and general anxiety, negatively unforeseeable manner. The impact of the novel coronavirus and other such future infectious diseases in certain regions or countries may be greater or less due to the nature or level of their public health response or due to other factors. Health crises caused by the recent coronavirus outbreak or future infectious diseases may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks in certain countries. The impact of such health crises may be quick, severe and of unknown duration. These pandemics, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could result in continued volatility in the financial markets and could have a negative impact on investment performance. • Emerging Technology: From time to time, we can use emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (“AI”), as a complement to operational and investment research processes. We can also invest in companies developing or leveraging emerging technology. Emerging technology and AI are wide-ranging terms and include a broad spectrum of technologies and applications, such as machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, and natural language processing, that are quickly evolving. Such emerging technology and AI present unique risks. For example, the automation of tasks previously performed by humans can potentially lead to job displacement and economic disruption. Data privacy concerns arise when AI systems collect and analyze vast amounts of personal data, which can be misused or inadequately protected. Additionally, the rapid development of these technologies often outpaces the creation of appropriate regulations, resulting in ethical challenges such as bias in AI algorithms and the potential for misuse in surveillance, investment decisions or other biases. New Page 9 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A security vulnerabilities can also emerge as AI tools are developed, making systems potentially more susceptible to cyberattacks when using emerging AI technologies. Please note, investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. There are different types of investments that involve varying degrees of risk, and it should not be assumed that the future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to any specific performance level(s). Past performance is not indicative of future results. The firm’s methods of analysis and investment strategies do not represent any significant or unusual risks. However, all strategies have inherent risks and performance limitations such as: • Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or industries. • Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a bond or a fixed income fund with a longer duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a bond or bond fund with a shorter duration. • Credit Risk: the risk that an investor could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations. The above list of risk factors is not intended to be a complete list or explanation of the risks involved in an investment strategy. You are encouraged to consult your financial advisor, legal counsel, and tax professional on an initial and continuous basis in connection with selecting and engaging in the services provided by us. In addition, due to the dynamic nature of investments and markets, strategies may be subject to additional and different risk factors not discussed above. Item 9 – Disciplinary Information AWM has never been the subject of an investment-related or legal complaint. To the best of our knowledge, no employee has ever been the subject of an investment-related regulatory complaint or litigation. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations AWM is not engaged in any other financial industry activities other than giving investment and financial advisory advice. AWM does not sell products or services other than investment advice to its clients. AWM does not have any arrangements that are material to its advisory business or its clients with a related person who is a broker-dealer, investment company, other investment adviser, financial planning firm, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading adviser, bank or thrift institution, accounting firm, law firm, insurance company or agency, pension consultant, real estate broker or dealer or an entity that creates or packages limited partnerships. Page 10 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading AWM maintains a Code of Ethics, which serves to establish a standard of business conduct for all employees that are based upon fundamental principles of openness, integrity, honesty, and trust. The Code of Ethics includes guidelines regarding personal securities transactions of its employees and investment advisor representatives. The Code of Ethics permits employees and investment advisors or related persons to invest for their own personal accounts in the same or different securities that an investment advisor representative may purchase for clients in program accounts. This presents a conflict of interest because trading by an employee or investment advisor representatives in a personal securities account in the same or different security on or about the same time as trading by a client could potentially disadvantage the client. AWM addresses this conflict of interest by requiring in its Code of Ethics that employees and investment advisor representatives report certain personal securities transactions and holdings to the Chief Compliance Officer for review. An investment adviser is considered a fiduciary. As a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts and to always act solely in the best interest of each of our clients. We have a fiduciary duty to all clients. Our fiduciary duty is considered the core underlying principle for our Code of Ethics which also includes Insider Trading and Personal Securities Transactions Policies and Procedures. We require all our supervised persons to conduct business with the highest level of ethical standards and to comply with all federal and state securities laws at all times. Upon employment or affiliation and at least annually thereafter, all supervised persons will sign an acknowledgement that they have read, understand, and agree to comply with our Code of Ethics. Our firm and supervised persons must conduct business in an honest, ethical, and fair manner and avoid all circumstances that might negatively affect or appear to affect our duty of complete loyalty to all clients. This disclosure is provided to give all clients a summary of our Code of Ethics. However, if a client or a potential client wishes to review our Code of Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided promptly upon request. It is the expressed policy of our firm that no person employed by us may purchase or sell any security prior to a transaction being implemented for an advisory account, thereby preventing an employee from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts. Neither AWM nor a related person recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client accounts, securities in which AWM investment advisors, employees, or a related person has a material financial interest. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices AWM will supervise and direct the investments of the client accounts subject to such limitations as the client imposes in writing, if any. With respect to the client’s account and without prior consultation with the client, AWM will (a) direct the purchase, sale, exchange, conversion, and otherwise trade ETFs, mutual funds and other securities including money market instruments, (b) direct the number of securities purchased, sold, exchanged, and otherwise traded; and (c) place orders for the execution of such securities transactions. All client assets are held by third-party custodians. AWM recommends that clients use LPL Financial to custody our client’s assets. AWM does receive support services from LPL Financial, Page 11 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A many of which assist AWM to better monitor and service program accounts maintained at LPL Financial. These support services and/or products may be received without cost, at a discount, and/or at a negotiated rate, and may include the following: investment-related research, • • pricing information and market data, • software and other technology that provide access to client account data, • compliance and/or practice management-related publications, • consulting services, • attendance at conferences, meetings, and other educational and/or social events, • marketing support, • computer hardware and/or software, and • other products and services used by the firm in furtherance of its investment advisory business operations. These support services are generally available to independent investment advisors and are not the result of soft dollar arrangements or any other express arrangements with LPL Financial. AWM will continue to receive the services regardless of the volume of client transactions executed with LPL Financial. Clients do not pay more for these support services because of this arrangement. There is no corresponding commitment made by AWM to LPL Financial or any other entity to invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific securities because of the arrangement. As a result of receiving these services, AWM may have an incentive to continue to use or expand the use of LPL Financial services. Our firm examined this conflict of interest when we chose to enter the relationship with LPL and we have determined that the relationship is in the best interest of our firm’s clients and satisfies our fiduciary obligations, including our duty to seek best execution. LPL Financial charges brokerage commissions and transaction fees for affecting certain securities transactions (i.e., transaction fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds, commissions are charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions). LPL Financial may charge ticket prices that are higher than another qualified broker-dealer might charge to affect the same transaction where we determine in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services, including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. Accordingly, although we will seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all clients, we may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for specific client account transactions. LPL Financial is AWM’s sole and exclusive broker-dealer to execute transactions in client accounts. Clients should understand that not all advisors require their clients to direct brokerage to one custodian. By directing brokerage to LPL Financial we may be unable to achieve the most favorable execution of client transactions, which may cost clients more money. Additionally, we do not allow clients to direct brokerage away from LPL Financial. Page 12 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A Allocation of Investment Opportunities and Orders We have adopted the following policies and procedures related to the fair allocation of investment opportunities. These policies are designed to help ensure that each client receives fair and equitable treatment in the investment process. • Transactions for each client account are generally executed independently, considering the client’s unique financial situation, even when trading the same security. However, when feasible, we may aggregate transactions in the same security across multiple client accounts to facilitate best execution. In such cases, all clients included in the aggregated trade receive the same average share price. • When orders cannot be aggregated, we employ a trading process that is fair among all clients, regardless of size. • Accounts in which our employees or affiliates have a beneficial interest, or accounts in which conflict of interest exists, do not receive preferential treatment. • All clients receive fair and equitable treatment for investment opportunities that are too limited to be effectively allocated among all accounts. When orders are generated, the decision on which accounts should participate, and in what amount, is based on the type of security or other asset, the present or desired structure of the various portfolios and the nature of the client’s goals. Other factors include risk tolerance, tax status, permitted investment techniques and, for fixed-income accounts, the size of the account and other practical considerations. As a result, we may have different price limits for buying or selling a security in different accounts. Portfolio information systems, portfolio reports and quality control reports permit us to consider these factors as appropriate. When our investment professionals decide to sell a security regardless of tax considerations, both taxable and tax-deferred accounts are eligible for sale simultaneously. In situations where tax gains influence the sale, securities in the tax-deferred accounts may be placed for sale first, as additional time is needed to consider the tax implications for each taxable account. Conversely, when tax losses influence the sale, AWM may prioritize taxable clients first, as the loss has a specific impact each year. In any event, the prioritization process is applied consistently over time. Item 13 – Review of Accounts AWM conducts account reviews on an ongoing basis. Accounts are reviewed under the direction and oversight of Caroline Gaffney, CEO, Chief Investment Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer. All investment supervisory clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to advise AWM of any changes in their investment objectives and/or financial situation. All clients (in person or via telephone) are encouraged to review financial planning issues (to the extent applicable), investment objectives and account performance with AWM on at least an annual basis. Account reviews may also be conducted based on the occurrence of a triggering event, such as a change in client investment objectives and/or financial situation, market corrections and client requests. The annual meeting may occur by phone, in person, via e-mail, or via video conference and Page 13 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A documentation will be maintained to evidence that at a minimum the following topics were reviewed: Investment objective and goals • Client’s financial status • Risk tolerance • Time horizon • • Asset allocation and/or account holdings Clients are provided, at least quarterly, with written transaction confirmation notices and regular written summary account statements directly from their portfolio custodian. AWM may also provide a written report summarizing account activity and performance. Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation AWM does not have any agreements in place to pay solicitors a portion of advisory fees. AWM does not directly or indirectly compensate any person who is not a supervised person for client referrals. Item 15 – Custody AWM does not have custody of client funds or securities. LPL Financial serves as the custodian of client assets on behalf of AWM. LPL Financial as the custodian sends statements at least quarterly to clients showing all disbursements in account including the amount of the advisory fees paid to advisor, the value of client assets upon which advisor’s fee was based, and the specific way advisor’s fee was calculated. Clients provide authorization to LPL Financial permitting advisory fees to be deducted from client advisory account. AWM, utilizing a third-party billing software system, calculates the advisory fees and directs LPL to deduct them from client’s account every quarter. In addition to the custodian statement, AWM provides an investment statement at client meetings which includes performance and asset allocation information. You should compare the account statements you receive from LPL Financial with those you receive from us. AWM may also provide advisory services on assets held at different third-party custodians. There are certain securities that are held at third parties, and not at LPL Financial. For example, hedge funds and separately managed accounts are often held directly with the investment sponsor. For those outside positions, clients will receive confirmations and statements directly from the investment sponsor. For outside positions not custodied at LPL Financial, LPL Financial may receive information (e.g., number of shares held and market value) from the investment sponsor and display that information on statements and reports prepared by LPL Financial. Such information also may be used to calculate performance in performance reports prepared by LPL Financial. Page 14 of 15  Firm Brochure ADV Part 2A Item 16 – Investment Discretion Discretionary Management We receive limited discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an advisory relationship to select the identity and number of securities to be bought or sold. Such authority is provided in our contract with each client. In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the client account. Client investment guidelines may or may not limit the scope of potential investments. As a result, clients can impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. When selecting securities and determining amounts, we observe the investment policies, limitations, and restrictions of the client. Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to us in writing. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities AWM does not vote client proxies, but third-party money managers selected or recommended by our firm may vote proxies for clients. Clients will otherwise receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodian. Clients may contact AWM at the number listed on the cover page of this Brochure to discuss any questions they may have with a particular solicitation. AWM does not accept authority to act with respect to legal proceedings relating to securities held in the account. Item 18 – Financial Information AWM does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200.00 in advisory fees per client, six months or more in advance. There are currently no financial conditions that are reasonably likely to impair the firm’s ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. At no time has AWM been the subject of a bankruptcy petition. Item 19 – Requirements for State Registered Advisers We are an SEC registered investment adviser; this section does not apply to us.

(“AWM,” “Atwater,” “the Firm,” “our,” or “we”) is an independent investment advisory firm. The firm’s founding member Caroline Gaffney started AWM in 2008 and organized the firm as a corporation in 2013. AWM registered as an independent investment adviser at both the state and federal level since December 23, 2014. Currently, we are registered as an investment adviser with the SEC and have notice filed with the appropriate states in which notice filings are required. AWM offers a Wrap Fee Program sponsored by LPL Financial as a platform whereby AWM pays the transaction charges for all our clients who participate in the wrap fee program. Atwater does not pass this charge on to the client, nor does Atwater increase its fee to compensate for these charges. AWM absorbs the transaction charges as a business expense. There is no difference in how wrap fee accounts and non-wrap fee accounts are managed. All accounts are managed in the same manner as disclosed in our Brochure ADV Part 2A and in this Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1. In the AWM Wrap Fee Program, we provide fee-only investment advisory services only to individual clients and high-net worth individuals. Investment strategies and recommendations are tailored to the individual needs of each client. Although AWM generally exercises limited investment discretion for each account that it advises, the portfolio composition within the same investment objective may, at any given time, differ as to composition. As a result, the performance of an account within a particular investment objective may differ from other accounts within that same investment objective. Clients should not expect that the performance of their portfolios will be identical to that of another client. These differences in portfolio composition are attributable to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type of account, clients’ restrictions and guidelines, sizes, and significant account activity (e.g., significant number of contributions and/or withdrawals). In addition to investment advisory services, we also provide targeted financial advisory services on an as-needed basis. The financial advisory services include, but are not limited to, cash flow planning, retirement needs analysis, tax-efficient distribution strategies, gift and estate planning, insurance planning, annuity reviews, and education planning. Hourly Consulting Services AWM may provide consulting services on an hourly or fixed fee basis. These services may include, as selected by the client in the consulting agreement, advice regarding tax planning, investment planning, retirement planning, estate planning, cash flow/budget planning, business planning, education planning, and personal financial planning. The services consider information collected from the client such as financial status, investment objectives and tax status, among other data. AWM may or may not deliver to the client a written analysis or report as part of the services. Consulting fees are tailored to the individual needs of the client based on the investment objective chosen by the client. The engagement terminates upon final consultation with the client. The specific way fees are charged is established in a client’s written agreement with us. Page 4 of 12  Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 We emphasize continuous and regular account supervision. As part of our asset management service, we generally create a portfolio, consisting of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds and separately managed accounts. We will also review and manage individual stocks or bonds, stock options, and other public and private securities or investments as appropriate. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may include some or all the previously mentioned securities. Each portfolio will be initially designed to meet a particular investment goal, which we determine to be suitable to the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, we review the portfolio at least quarterly and if necessary, rebalance the portfolio based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Each client can place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Assets for accounts in AWM’s wrap fee program are held at LPL Financial (“LPL”) as custodian. LPL also acts as executing broker/dealer for transactions placed in program accounts and provides other administrative services as described throughout this Brochure. Fees The specific way fees are charged by the firm is established in a client’s written agreement and account application between the client and AWM and is based on the following fee schedule. Fee Schedule: Account Balance Annual Advisory Fee% First $1,000,000.00 Next $1,000,001.00 - $5,000,000.00 Next $5,000,001.00 - $10,000,000.00 Next $10,000,001.00 + 1.00% 0.85% 0.65% 0.45% Our fees are payable quarterly, in advance. Fees are calculated based on the quarter end balance of the portfolio, as determined by the custodian, at the end of the previous quarter. We will generate invoices for all investment advisory clients on a quarterly basis. Each invoice reflects the amount to be debited by the custodian and paid to us for the upcoming quarter’s investment advisory fee, per the Account Agreement signed by the client at the inception of the agreement. Our clients authorize the account custodian to debit their client account for our investment advisory fee. At the inception of the relationship and each quarter thereafter, we will notify your custodian of the amount of the fee due and payable to us through our fee schedule and contract. The custodian does not validate or check our fee, its calculation, or the assets on which the fee is based. The custodian will “deduct” the fee from your account(s) or, if you have more than one account, from the account you have designated to pay our advisory fees. Fees may be negotiable based on previous relationships and other factors, such as aggregate level of assets with our firm, anticipated future earnings capacity at our firm, anticipated future additional assets at our firm, account composition at our firm, negotiations with the client, etc. Therefore, clients with similar assets under management and investment objectives may pay higher or lower fees than other clients. No increase in our fee(s) shall be effective without prior written notification to clients of at least thirty (30) days. Page 5 of 12  Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 Each quarter you will receive a statement directly from your custodian showing all transactions, positions, and credits/debits into or from your account; the statements after the quarter-end will reflect these transactions, including the advisory fee paid by you to us. In some instances, we and the client may agree on a fee schedule different from that set forth above. Fees for consulting and financial planning services are charged on an hourly or fixed fee basis. The maximum hourly fee charged to any client will not exceed $500. Fixed fees range from $2,500.00 to $10,000. Fees for such services are negotiable. Fees are due upon execution of an Agreement with AWM. The client generally makes a check payable to AWM for consulting and financial planning services. The total estimated fee, as well as the ultimate fee charged, is based on the scope and complexity of the engagement. AWM is not under any obligation to repay any portion of the fees paid prior to the termination of this agreement. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Other Types of Fees and Charges In the AWM Wrap program, clients pay a single annual advisory fee for advisory services and execution of transactions. Clients do not pay brokerage commissions, markups, or transaction charges for execution of transactions in addition to the advisory fee. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges are exclusive of and in addition to Atwater’s fee, and we do not receive any portion of these fees and costs. LPL, as the custodian and broker-dealer providing brokerage and execution services on program accounts, may impose certain fees and charges which are not included within the wrap fee charged by AWM. Further information regarding fees assessed by a mutual fund, or other third party, is available in the appropriate prospectus, which is available upon request from the Advisor or from the product sponsor directly. Other Important Considerations • The advisory fee is an ongoing wrap fee for investment advisory services, the execution of transactions and other administrative and custodial services. In some wrap fee programs, factors that bear upon the cost of the account in relation to the cost of the same services purchased separately include the type and size of the account, historical and/or expected size or number of trades for the account, and number and range of supplementary advisory and client-related services provided to the client. In AWM’s wrap fee program, the fee is only based on assets under management according to the fee schedule above. Type, size, historical or expected size or number of trades, and number and range of supplementary advisory and client-related services provided to the client are not factors in the ongoing wrap fee. • The investment products available to be purchased in the program can be purchased by clients outside of a program account, through broker-dealers or other investment firms not affiliated with AWM. Page 6 of 12  Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients AWM ordinarily requires a minimum of $2,000,000.00 in manageable assets to open and maintain an account. We will permit a lower minimum account size in certain instances (e.g., for related accounts and for the accounts of our personnel and their family members). AWM provides investment advice only to individuals and high net worth individuals. As of December 31, 2025, AWM has $$248,226,322 under management. All were managed on a discretionary basis, and $0 is managed on a non-discretionary basis. Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation In the AWM Wrap program, we do not select, review, or recommend other investment advisors or portfolio managers. AWM is responsible for the investment advice and management offered to clients. We emphasize continuous and regular account supervision in the AWM Wrap program. As part of our asset management service, we generally create a portfolio, consisting of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds and separately managed accounts. We will also review and manage individual stocks or bonds, stock options, and other public and private securities or investments as appropriate. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may include some or all the previously mentioned securities. Each portfolio will be initially designed to meet a particular investment goal, which we determine to be suitable for the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, we review the portfolio at least quarterly and if necessary, rebalance the portfolio based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Each client can place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Wrap fee programs allow for a maximum fee of up to 2.0%, and advisors sometimes receive a portion of the wrap fee for services provided. This type of wrap fee program may cost more or less than purchasing such services separately. AWM’s wrap fee program charges fees according to the fee schedule published above. Fees paid to AWM are for investment management services or consulting/financial planning fees as agreed to prior to an engagement. There may be additional fees on assets held in the wrap program, such as mutual fund expenses and mark-ups, mark-downs, or spreads paid to market makers. A more detailed description of these fees and circumstances is detailed above in Item 4 above. There are no differences between how the AWM wrap fee program is managed and how other AWM accounts are managed. AWM has clients who do not participate in the AWM wrap fee program and therefore the client pays the transaction charges directly from their account, as disclosed in our Brochure ADV Part 2A and in our Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1. AWM does not accept performance-based fees, fees based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets of a client such as a hedge fund or other pooled investment vehicle. Neither the firm nor any supervised persons manage side-by-side accounts that are charged a performance-based fee. Page 7 of 12  Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 The firm uses a combination of fundamental and technical analysis to formulate investment advice when managing assets. Depending on the analysis, the firm will implement a long- or short- term trading strategy based on the objectives and risk tolerance of a particular client. Fundamental analysis involves an evaluation of the financial condition and competitive position of a particular fund or issuer which typically involves an analysis of an issuer’s management team, investment strategies, style, past performance, reputation, and financial strength in relation to the asset class concentrations and risk exposures of the firm’s model asset allocations. A substantial risk in relying upon fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and position of a company may be good, evolving market conditions may negatively impact the security. Technical analysis involves the examination of past market data rather than specific issuer information in determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of mathematical- based indicators and charts, such as moving averages and price correlations, to identify market patterns and trends which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. A substantial risk in relying upon technical analysis is that identifying historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually re-occur, there is no guarantee that AWM will be able to accurately predict such a recurrence. Past performance does not guarantee future results and results will vary. General Risks Disclosures • Legal and Regulatory Matters Risks: Legal developments which may adversely impact investing and investment-related activities can occur at any time. “Legal Developments” means changes and other developments concerning foreign, as well as US federal, state and local laws and regulations, including adoption of new laws and regulations, amendment or repeal of existing laws and regulations, and changes in enforcement or interpretation of existing laws and regulations by governmental regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations (such as the SEC, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the US Federal Reserve and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). Our management of accounts may be adversely affected by the legal and/or regulatory consequences of transactions affected for the accounts. Accounts may also be adversely affected by changes in the enforcement or interpretation of existing statutes and rules by governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations. • System Failures and Reliance on Technology Risks: Our investment strategies, operations, research, communications, risk management, and back-office systems rely on technology, including hardware, software, telecommunications, internet-based platforms, and other electronic systems. Additionally, parts of the technology used are provided by third parties and are, therefore, beyond our direct control. We seek to ensure adequate backups of hardware, software, telecommunications, internet-based platforms, and other electronic systems, when possible, but there is no guarantee that our efforts will be successful. In addition, natural disasters, power interruptions and other events may cause system failures, which will require the use of backup systems (both on- and off-site). Backup systems may not operate as well as the systems that they back up and may fail to properly operate, especially when used for an extended period. To reduce the impact a system failure may have, we continually evaluate our backup and disaster recovery systems and perform periodic checks on the backup systems’ conditions and operations. Despite our monitoring, hardware, telecommunications, or other electronic systems malfunctions may be unavoidable, and result Page 8 of 12  Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 in consequences such as the inability to trade for or monitor client accounts and portfolios. If such circumstances arise, the Investment Committee will consider appropriate measures for clients. • Cybersecurity Risk: A portfolio is susceptible to operational and information security risks due to the increased use of the internet. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyberattacks include, but are not limited to, infection by computer viruses or other malicious software code, gaining unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices through “hacking” or other means for the purpose of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cybersecurity failures or breaches by third-party service providers may cause disruptions and impact on the service providers’ and our business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement, or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. While we have established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to prevent or reduce the impact of such cyberattacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems due in part to the everchanging nature of technology and cyberattack tactics. • Pandemic Risks: The novel coronavirus rapidly became a pandemic and resulted in disruptions to the economies of many nations, individual companies, and the markets in general, the impact of which was material. This created closed borders, quarantines, supply chain disruptions and general anxiety, negatively impacting global markets in an unforeseeable manner. The impact of the novel coronavirus and other such future infectious diseases in certain regions or countries may be greater or less due to the nature or level of their public health response or due to other factors. Health crises caused by the recent coronavirus outbreak or future infectious diseases may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks in certain countries. The impact of such health crises may be quick, severe and of unknown duration. These pandemics, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could result in continued volatility in the financial markets and could have a negative impact on investment performance. • Emerging Technology: From time to time, we can use emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (“AI”), as a complement to operational and investment research processes. We can also invest in companies developing or leveraging emerging technology. Emerging technology and AI are wide-ranging terms and include a broad spectrum of technologies and applications, such as machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, and natural language processing, that are quickly evolving. Such emerging technology and AI present unique risks. For example, the automation of tasks previously performed by humans can potentially lead to job displacement and economic disruption. Data privacy concerns arise when AI systems collect and analyze vast amounts of personal data, which can be misused or inadequately protected. Additionally, the rapid development of these technologies often outpaces the creation of appropriate regulations, resulting in ethical challenges such as bias in AI algorithms and the potential for misuse in surveillance, investment decisions or other biases. New security vulnerabilities can also emerge as AI tools are developed, making systems potentially more susceptible to cyberattacks when using emerging AI technologies. Please note, investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. There are different types of investments that involve varying degrees of risk, and it should not be assumed that the future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be Page 9 of 12  Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 profitable or equal to any specific performance level(s). Past performance is not indicative of future results. The firm’s methods of analysis and investment strategies do not represent any significant or unusual risks. However, all strategies have inherent risks and performance limitations such as: • Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or industries. • Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a bond or a fixed income fund with a longer duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a bond or bond fund with a shorter duration. • Credit Risk: the risk that an investor could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations. The above list of risk factors is not intended to be a complete list or explanation of the risks involved in an investment strategy. You are encouraged to consult your financial advisor, legal counsel, and tax professional on an initial and continuous basis in connection with selecting and engaging in the services provided by us. In addition, due to the dynamic nature of investments and markets, strategies may be subject to additional and different risk factors not discussed above. LPL performs certain administrative services for AWM, including generation of quarterly performance reports for program accounts. Clients will receive an individual quarterly performance report, which provides performance information on a time-weighted basis. The performance reports are intended to inform clients as to how their investments have performed for a period, both on an absolute basis and compared to leading investment indices. Voting Client Securities AWM does not vote client proxies, but third-party money managers selected or recommended by our firm may vote proxies for clients. Clients will otherwise receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodian. Clients may contact AWM at the number listed on the cover page of this Brochure to discuss any questions they may have with a particular solicitation. AWM does not accept authority to act with respect to legal proceedings relating to securities held in the account. Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers In the AWM Wrap program, AWM is responsible for account management; there is no separate portfolio manager involved. We obtain the necessary financial data from the client and assist the client in setting an appropriate investment objective for the account. AWM obtains this information by having the client complete an advisory agreement and other documentation. Clients are encouraged to contact the Advisor if there have been any changes in the client’s financial situation or investment objectives or if they wish to impose any reasonable restrictions on the management of the account or reasonably modify existing restrictions. Clients should be aware that the investment objective selected for the program is an overall objective for the entire account and may be inconsistent with a particular holding and the account’s performance at any time. Clients Page 10 of 12  Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 should be aware that the achievement of the stated investment objective is a long-term goal for the account. Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers Client should contact Advisor at any time with questions regarding program account. Item 9 – Additional Information Disciplinary Information None Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations None Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading AWM maintains a Code of Ethics, which serves to establish a standard of business conduct for all employees that are based upon fundamental principles of openness, integrity, honesty, and trust. The Code of Ethics includes guidelines regarding personal securities transactions of its employees and investment advisor representatives. The Code of Ethics permits employees and investment advisors or related persons to invest for their own personal accounts in the same or different securities that an investment advisor representative may purchase for clients in program accounts. This presents a conflict of interest because trading by an employee or investment advisor representatives in a personal securities account in the same or different security on or about the same time as trading by a client could potentially disadvantage the client. AWM addresses this conflict of interest by requiring in its Code of Ethics that employees and investment advisor representatives report certain personal securities transactions and holdings to the Chief Compliance Officer for review. An investment adviser is considered a fiduciary. As a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts and to always act solely in the best interest of each of our clients. We have a fiduciary duty to all clients. Our fiduciary duty is considered the core underlying principle for our Code of Ethics which also includes Insider Trading and Personal Securities Transactions Policies and Procedures. We require all our supervised persons to conduct business with the highest level of ethical standards and to comply with all federal and state securities laws at all times. Upon employment or affiliation and at least annually thereafter, all supervised persons will sign an acknowledgement that they have read, understand, and agree to comply with our Code of Ethics. Our firm and supervised persons must conduct business in an honest, ethical, and fair manner and avoid all circumstances that might negatively affect or appear to affect our duty of complete loyalty to all clients. This disclosure is provided to give all clients a summary of our Code of Ethics. However, if a client or a potential client wishes to review our Code of Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided promptly upon request. It is the expressed policy of our firm that no person employed by us may purchase or sell any security prior to a transaction being implemented for an advisory account, thereby preventing an employee from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts. Page 11 of 12  Wrap Fee Brochure ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 Neither AWM nor a related person recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client accounts, securities in which AWM investment advisors, employees, or a related person has a material financial interest. Review of Accounts AWM conducts account reviews on an ongoing basis. Accounts are reviewed under the direction and oversight of Caroline Gaffney, CEO and Chief Investment Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer. All investment supervisory clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to advise AWM of any changes in their investment objectives and/or financial situation. All clients (in person or via telephone) are encouraged to review financial planning issues (to the extent applicable), investment objectives and account performance with AWM on at least an annual basis. Account reviews may also be conducted based on the occurrence of a triggering event, such as a change in client investment objectives and/or financial situation, market corrections and client requests. The annual meeting may occur by phone, in person, via e-mail, or via video conference and documentation will be maintained to evidence that at a minimum the following topics were reviewed: Investment Objective and Goals • The client’s financial status • Risk Tolerance • Time Horizon • • Asset Allocation and/or Account Holdings Clients are provided, at least quarterly, with written transaction confirmation notices and regular written summary account statements directly from their portfolio custodian. AWM may also provide a written report summarizing account activity and performance. Client Referrals and Other Compensation AWM does not have any agreements in place to pay solicitors a portion of advisory fees. AWM does not directly or indirectly compensate any person who is not a supervised person for client referrals. Financial Information AWM does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in advisory fees per client, six months or more in advance. There are currently no financial conditions that are reasonably likely to impair the firm’s ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. At no time has AWM been the subject of a bankruptcy petition. Item 10 – Requirements for State Registered Advisers We are an SEC registered investment adviser; this section does not apply to us.
