A. BGAN was established in April 2017. The principal owners and members of BGAN are: Mr. Joseph Gruber, President & Chief Compliance Officer (50%) and Mr. Randy Landsman, Vice President (50%) ownership, respectively. BGAN is an investment adviser that consists of many independent contractors who have affiliated with BGAN as Advisory Representatives to offer the advisory services and programs described within this brochure. The Advisory Representatives (“AR”) each have their own businesses and offices through which they conduct not only advisory business but provide other financial services. They market a variety of financial related services including accounting and insurance services not offered by BGAN through their independent businesses. These businesses are separate from and not affiliated with BGAN. Advisory Representatives have a direct interest in the fee charged to you since BGAN will pay a portion of the advisory fee charged to you to your Advisory Representative. It is important to refer to the Item 5 – Fees and Compensation below. Our Advisory Representatives cannot exceed the fee disclosed under Item 5 below. However, the negotiability and the fee that you will pay for advisory services is determined between you and your Advisory Representative. Therefore, another Advisory Representative will charge more or less for the same services. As an investment adviser, we are a fiduciary to our advisory clients. As fiduciaries, we are expected act and provide advice in the best interests of clients; have a duty to be loyal to our clients; make full and fair disclosure of all material conflicts of interest; seek best execution for client transactions; ensure that investment advice is suitable for clients' objectives, needs and circumstances; have a duty to have a reasonable, independent basis for investment advice; and refrain from effecting personal securities transactions that are inconsistent with client interests. B. BGAN offers the following advisory services. Each of the services is more fully described below. • Asset Management • Financial Planning • Retirement Consulting Services • Analysis, Recommendation and Monitoring of Third-Party Managed Programs • Pension Advice and Asset Management for United Kingdom and other Nationals or Expatriates 4 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC Asset Management Services BGAN will provide continuous and ongoing management of your account. Unless otherwise expressly requested by you, BGAN will manage your portfolio on a discretionary basis and will make changes to the allocation as deemed appropriate by BGAN. BGAN will determine the securities to be purchased and sold in the account and will alter the securities holdings from time to time, without prior consultation with you. BGAN from time to time will actively trade securities and hold such holdings for periods of 30 days or less or maintain positions for longer- or shorter-term periods at the discretion of your Advisory Representative. BGAN’s asset management program includes the use of a Unified Managed Account Program in which BGAN uses various managers and their managed models to assist BGAN to provide asset management of your account. Your advisory representative designs a customized management portfolio using a combination of individual securities, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), and third-party managers, strategists and model portfolios managed by various third-party managers. By execution of the BGAN Discretionary Asset Management Agreement, you will grant discretionary authorization to BGAN and your Advisory Representative to manage your account including selecting an overlay manager(s) and model account strategist, or third-party managers (collectively referred to as “Third-Party Service Providers”). In addition, you will authorize the custodian to follow our instructions as well as instructions given by Overlay Manager to effect transactions, deliver securities, deduct fees and take other actions with respect to the client account. For additional information about discretionary authorization, please refer to Item 16 – Investment Discretion below. It is important you read the Disclosure Brochure to the Third-Party Service Providers prior to entering into any agreement to use a Third-Party Service Provider. The Disclosure Brochure contains important information about the fees, services, and conflicts of interests associated with the program and the Third-Party Service Provider. In platforms where multiple managers and strategists are available, BGAN has access to Form ADVs of the individual managers selected to manage your account. You can request a copy of any manager’s Form ADV upon request. If you elect to have your accounts managed on a nondiscretionary basis, no changes will be made to the allocation of your account without prior consultation with you and your expressed agreement. Nondiscretionary is not available when an overlay management strategist or model account management strategy is utilized. There is risk with electing to have your account managed on a non- discretionary basis. The risk is that your Advisory Representative will not be able to conduct transactions in a timely manner. If you have your custom allocated accounts managed on a nondiscretionary basis, your Advisory Representative cannot make changes to the allocations in your account without prior consultation and your expressed agreement. With accounts managed on a nondiscretionary basis, there is an inherent risk your Advisory Representative will not be able to contact you in a timely manner in volatile markets. Your Advisory Representative will not be able to mitigate the effects of sharp market declines in an efficient manner without your expressed permission. 5 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC BGAN primarily uses managed models managed by third party managers, exchange traded funds, open-ended mutual funds, and no-load and load waived mutual funds. Load waived mutual funds will include institutional shares or mutual funds purchased at net asset value (NAV). Mutual funds purchased at NAV will have higher internal expenses and will cost the client more. Additionally, managed accounts can include: equity and fixed income securities. However, managed accounts are not exclusively limited to the aforementioned types of securities and include other securities such as variable products, alternative investments, options, and other securities deemed suitable for your portfolio by the Advisory Representative. A client can request a current copy of any manager’s or strategist’s Form ADV Part 2A upon request. Additionally, a current version of the disclosure brochure is available on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. Transactions in the account, account reallocations and rebalancing often trigger a taxable event, with the exception of IRA accounts, 403(b) accounts and other qualified retirement accounts. Financial Planning and Consulting Services BGAN offers broad-based and modular financial planning services. Financial planning services will typically involve providing a variety of services, principally advisory in nature, to clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of the client’s individual needs. BGAN uses financial planning software to assist with determining the client’s current financial position and define and quantify long term goals and objectives. The financial planning software will run hypothetical scenarios based on variables to assist a client to determine a course of action. In no way can any program or software predict future results. It is a tool to enable analysis based on historical information to review possibilities that could occur if historical events repeat. A financial plan will analyze the following areas: • Personal: family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information and financial goals • Tax and Cash Flow: Income tax and spending analysis and planning for past, current, and future years. BGAN will illustrate the impact of various investments on your current income tax and future liability. • Death and Disability: Cash needs at death, income needs of the surviving dependents, estate planning and disability income analysis • Retirement: Analysis of current strategies and investment plans to help you work toward retirement goals • Investments: Analysis of investment alternatives and their effect on a client’s portfolio. • Estate Planning: Advice with respect to property ownership, distribution strategies, disposition of business interest, estate tax reduction, and tax payment techniques as well as discussion of gifts, trusts, etc. Further, a review of death and disability issues will be examined. Tax consequences and their implications are identified and evaluated. 6 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC • Tax Planning: Analysis of a financial situation or plan from a tax perspective. The purpose of tax planning is to find tax efficiencies, with the elements of the financial plan working together in the most tax-efficient manner possible. Plans are based on your financial situation at the time and are based on financial information disclosed by you to BGAN. You are advised certain assumptions are made with respect to interest and inflation rates and use of past trends and performance of the market and economy. However, past performance is in no way an indication of future performance. BGAN cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met. Further, it is important you continue to review the plan and update the plan based upon changes in your financial situation, goals, or objectives or changes in the economy. Should your financial situation or investment goals or objectives change, you must notify BGAN promptly of the changes. You are advised the advice offered by BGAN is be limited and is not meant to be comprehensive. Therefore, you should consider seeking the services of other professionals such as an insurance adviser, attorney and/or accountant. You are not obligated to implement advice through BGAN or Advisory Representatives. Should you implement the plan with BGAN’s Advisory Representatives commissions or other compensation is received in addition to the advisory fee paid to BGAN if the products are purchased through the Advisory Representative acting in the capacity as an insurance agent. The receipt of commissions is a conflict of interest. United Kingdom (UK) Pension Plan Investment Services BGAN provides pension consulting and advice to United Kingdom (“UK”) expatriates or other nationals generally residing in the United States who have UK based pension plans. BGAN will gather financial information, goals, and objectives from the client and review the client’s pension assets. You will be provided with an analysis, explanation, and recommendations about the current pension plan and the suitability and options available. There are advantages and disadvantages to a pension transfer. It is important the client read the analysis carefully. It is important clients considering transferring their UK pension review consumer information provided at https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers. The process begins with your authorization for BGAN to request a statement of benefit from the existing UK pension plan administrator or trustee. If suitable and in the client’s best interest, and in conjunction with an FCA regulated advisor with the relevant permissions for the transfer of Safe Guarded Benefits for defined benefit plans, BGAN will assist with a transfer of pension assets to a Self-Invested Personal Pension ("SIPP"), a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme ("QROPS"), and/or other applicable plans. Pension assets are held by a regulated pension trustee (authorized by the relevant financial services regulator where the pension plan is held) and subject to the terms and conditions of a separate agreement between the client and the pension trustee. 7 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC Your BGAN Advisory Representative will provide ongoing management of your pension assets. Management strategies can include the use of a third party selected investment manager (aka discretionary fund management (DFM)) (subject to the terms and conditions of a separate management agreement between the client's pension trustee and the investment manager). Assets are managed within a life bond platform such as: Utmost, Quilter or RL360 or on an investment platform such as: Novia; MorningStar (formerly Praemium,), Ardan International, or Capital International Group. Clients are encouraged to review the agreement between the client and the pension trustee and other disclosure materials (such as Key Features documents) provided by the pension trustee and the investment manager for a full understanding of the services provided and any associated costs therein. Clients will receive a written assessment and recommendations of their pension review. Additionally, pension plan statements and other reports are generally sent directly to clients on an annual basis (unless requested more frequently) by the selected pension trustee, the custodian of record, and/or others similarly involved with the client pension plan. Clients are encouraged to review such material carefully for a complete understanding of the services offered and the costs associated with the management of such pension plans. BGAN does not provide tax advice including, without limitation, in relation to any US tax reporting requirements and/or other tax implications arising in relation to clients' pension transfers. BGAN recommends the clients seek their own tax advice, including in relation to procedures under tax treaties between the United States and the UK (or other applicable jurisdiction) for the avoidance of double taxation on their UK/EU pension arrangements. General Information Investment recommendations and advice offered by BGAN are not legal advice or accounting advice. You should coordinate and discuss the impact of financial advice with your attorney and/or accountant. You are advised that it is necessary to inform BGAN promptly with respect to any changes in your financial situation and investment goals and objectives. Failure to notify BGAN of any such changes could result in investment recommendations not meeting your needs. C. BGAN tailors the advisory services it offers to your individual needs. You may impose restrictions and/or limitations on the investing in certain securities or types of securities. Services will begin with an initial consultation and data gathering. Your Advisory Representative will ask you various questions about your financial situation and request certain documents about your financial accounts. You may be asked to complete a fact finder or data gathering document. The information gathered by BGAN will assist BGAN to provide you with the requested services and customize the services to your financial situation. Depending on the services you have requested, BGAN will gather various financial information and history from you including, but not limited to: • Retirement and financial goals • Investment objectives • Investment horizon • Financial needs • Cash flow analysis 8 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC • Cost of living needs • Education needs • Savings tendencies • Other applicable financial information required by BGAN in order to provide the investment advisory services requested. IRA Rollover Considerations When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. As part of our consulting and advisory services, we offer you recommendations and advice concerning your employer retirement plan or other qualified retirement account. Our recommendations can include you consider withdrawing the assets from your employer's retirement plan or other qualified retirement account and roll the assets over to an individual retirement account ("IRA"). Further, we offer our management services be applied to those funds and securities rolled into an IRA or other account for which we will receive compensation. If you elect to roll the assets to an IRA that is subject to our management, we will charge you an asset-based fee as described above under Item 5. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on our behalf have an incentive to recommend a rollover to you for the purpose of generating fee-based compensation. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to complete the rollover. Furthermore, if you do complete the rollover, you are under no obligation to have the assets in an IRA managed by us. It is important for you to understand many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company plan. Also, current employees can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before they retire or change jobs. In determining whether to complete the rollover to an IRA, and to the extent the following options are available, you should consider the costs and benefits of each. An employee will typically have four options: 1. Leave the funds in your employer's (former employer's) plan. 2. Move the funds to a new employer's retirement plan. 3. Cash out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan. 4. Roll the funds into an IRA rollover account. Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages and before making a change we encourage you to speak with your CPA and/or tax attorney. If you are considering rolling over your retirement funds to an IRA for us to manage it is important you understand the following: 1. Determine whether the investment options in your employer's retirement plan address your needs or whether you might want to consider other types of investments. 9 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC a. Employer retirement plans generally have a more limited investment menu than IRAs. b. Employer retirement plans often have unique investment options not available to the public such as employer securities, or previously closed funds. 2. Your current plan may have lower fees than our fees. a. If you are interested in investing only in mutual funds, you should understand the cost structure of the share classes available in your employer's retirement plan and how the costs of those share classes compare with those available in an IRA. b. You should understand the various products and services you might take advantage of at an IRA provider and the costs of those products and services. c. It is likely you will not be charged a management fee and will not receive ongoing asset management services unless you elect to have such services. In the event your plan offers asset management or model management, there may be a fee associated with the services that is more or less than our asset management fee. 3. Our strategy can have higher risk than the option(s) provided to you in your plan. 4. Your current plan may offer financial advice, guidance, and/or model management or 5. portfolio options at no additional cost. If you keep your assets titled in a 401k or retirement account, you could delay your required minimum distribution beyond age 73. (You must take your first required minimum distribution for the year in which you turn age 73 (70 ½ if you reached 70 ½ before January 1, 2020 or 72 if you reached 72 prior to January 1, 2023). If you reach 70½ in 2020 or 72 in 2022, you have to take your first RMD by April 1 of the year after you reach the aforementioned age prior to the stated years age. For all subsequent years, including the year in which you were paid the first RMD by April 1, you must take the RMD by December 31 of the year. (Source IRS.gov)) 6. Your 401k may offer more liability protection than a rollover IRA; each state may vary. a. Generally, federal law protects assets in qualified plans from creditors. Since 2005, IRA assets have been generally protected from creditors in bankruptcies. However, there can be some exceptions to the general rules so you should consult an attorney if you are concerned about protecting your retirement plan assets from creditors. 7. You may be able to take out a loan on your 401k, but not from an IRA. 8. 9. IRA assets can be accessed any time; however, distributions are subject to ordinary income tax and may also be subject to a 10% early distribution penalty unless they qualify for an exception such as disability, higher education expenses or the purchase of a home. If you own company stock in your plan, you may be able to liquidate those shares at a lower capital gains tax rate. 10. Your plan may allow you to hire us as the manager and keep the assets titled in the plan name. It is important that you understand the differences between these types of accounts and to decide whether a rollover is best for you. Prior to proceeding, if you have questions contact your investment adviser representative, or call our main number as listed on the cover page of this brochure. D. Wrap Program. BGAN does not offer a wrap fee program. Clients will pay a fee for asset management services, third-party manager(s) or strategist(s) if used, and transaction fees. 10 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC E. Assets Under Management. As of December 31, 2024, BGAN has $ 396,867,180 of regulatory assets under management. Of that number, $ 2,209,303 is managed on a non- discretionary basis. The remainder was managed on a discretionary basis. Some of our investment adviser representatives (IAR) are also registered with other, unrelated and unaffiliated investment advisers. Services provided through these other investment advisers are supervised by their own Chief Compliance Officer. Some services available to investors may not be available at both firms. In those situations, you must either forgo the service or do business with your IAR through the offering firm. Your IAR will provide you with disclosure and a client agreement that indicates the firm through which they are providing the service. In situations where the investor is conducting business with both affiliates, contracts for each will be executed. Item 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION General Disclosure As stated under Item 4, BGAN consists of a group of independent contractors who are registered or licensed with BGAN as Advisory Representatives offering the advisory services and programs outlined in this Form ADV Part 2A. While no Advisory Representative can exceed the fees schedules outlined below, each Advisory Representative can negotiate and charge an advisory fee based on the fee schedules below. The amount of the fee is not commensurate with education or tenure in the industry. Therefore, there is another BGAN Advisory Representative who charges more or less than the fee you are being charged for similar services. Your Advisory Representative has a direct interest in the fee charged to you since BGAN will pay a portion of the advisory fee charged to you to your Advisory Representative. The advice provided by Advisory Representatives often involves recommendations to invest assets according to an asset allocation primarily involving mutual funds, exchange traded funds, stocks, bonds, alternative products and other types of securities. Recommendations include investing into various share classes. Different share classes of securities involve different fee structures and internal costs. Institutional shares are often the least expensive from an internal cost perspective; however, the transaction fees can be higher. It is important you understand the internal cost structure of the various share classes. Additional information about costs and the various share classes can be found in the prospectus. Registered investment company securities such as mutual funds, and variable products offer the securities in various share classes. Different share classes are priced differently and share classes other than institutional share classes will involve higher internal costs that over time will cost you more. Institutional share classes often have higher trading costs. A client needs to consider the amount being invested and the length of anticipated holding to make a decision as to the share class most suitable to the client. Representatives will select the lowest share class funds available and appropriate to the situation. However, in selecting the lowest share class, trading costs are sometimes higher. Selecting the lowest share class appropriate to the situation does not imply the 11 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC lowest cost share class. Instead, your Advisory Representative will select what they deem lowest cost for the situation. Representatives consider the anticipated holding period, cost structure, and administrative and transaction costs associated with selecting a share class. However, there is no way to predict the future and there could be occasions where a holding is liquidated sooner or held longer resulting in higher costs to the client. Additional information about share classes can be found in an Investor Alert issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission at https://www.investor.gov/additional-resources/news-alerts/alerts-bulletins/investor-bulletin-mutual- fund-classes and https://www.investor.gov/additional-resources/news-alerts/alerts-bulletins/investor-bulletin-mutual- fund-classes. Additionally, the SEC and FINRA provides investor information at www.sec.gov and www.finra.org. It is important to note that institutional share classes for UK pension assets are often not available unless the client meets the minimum investment amount which is often high. Asset Management Services A. Fee Schedules Fees are negotiable and are not based on a share of capital gains upon or capital appreciation of the funds or any portion of the funds. You may make additions to the Account or withdrawals from the Account. Additional assets deposited into the Account after it is opened will be charged a pro-rata fee based upon the number of days remaining in the then current calendar month. Additionally, partial withdrawals from the account will result in a prorated portion of the fee being credited to the Account. Fee adjustments for inflows and outflows in accounts charged based on the average daily balance will be factored into the monthly fee using the average daily value of the account. No fee adjustments will be made for Account appreciation or depreciation. Advisor Directed Managed Program Fee Schedule Fee Breakpoint Levels Up to $5,000,000 Over $5,000,000 Advisor Directed Maximum Advisory Fee* 2.75% 1.00% *Advisor Directed managed accounts do not pay a custodian asset-based fee. Instead, the client pays custodian transaction charges in accordance with the custodian’s transaction fee schedule for each transaction. The custodian offers some securities, a limited number of open- ended mutual funds and exchange traded fund, at no transaction fee. However, the security positions will be subject to a holding period or the client will incur early redemption fees which could be substantial in comparison to a transaction fee. The maximum platform fee charged will be fifteen (15) basis points per annum. All fees are negotiable based upon AUM tier level at our sole discretion. 12 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC Your Advisory Representative will have the discretion to determine: • How the fee will be determined Option A: A monthly fee will be calculated based on the average daily value of each account registration under management (e.g., you have four accounts, therefore, each account is charged a fee based on the average daily account value based on the negotiated fee schedule). Option B: A quarterly fee will be calculated based on the average daily value of each account registration under management (e.g., you have four accounts, therefore, each account is charged a fee based on the average daily account value based on the negotiated fee schedule). Option C: A monthly fee will be calculated based on the aggregated or household average daily value of all managed accounts for the household . Option D: A quarterly fee will be calculated based on the aggregated or household average daily value of all managed accounts for the household. For example, if you have four managed accounts with an average daily value as of the just completed calendar month of: $1,000,001, $2,000,000, $500,000, and $1,500,000 with a total value of $5,000,001, you will not pay a fee on the managed accounts greater than 1.00%. • Valuation of the account for purposes of calculating the fee and fee structure BGAN Advisor and BGAN Program fees will be determined and calculated based on the average daily balance of the account for the calendar month or calendar quarter. • Fee Timing The timing of Account fees to be billed in arrears on a monthly basis or on a quarterly basis is dependent upon which option above (A,B, C, D) your Advisory Representative selects. *Note:BGAN may change the above fee schedule upon 30-days prior written notice to you. Alternative Products (real estate investment trusts, special purpose vehicles, private placements) Alternative products are generally illiquid and a regular valuation is typically not obtainable. Clients with a position in alternative products will be charged an annual fee not to exceed 1% of the client’s investment into alternative products. One-twelfth (1/12) of the annual fee will be charged each calendar month and will be deducted from a designated managed account at an account custodian. B. Collection of Advisory Fees. Advisory fees are collected directly from your account, provided you have given BGAN written authorization. Written authorization is granted to BGAN by execution of the client advisory agreement. You will be provided with an account statement 13 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC reflecting the deduction of the advisory fee direct from the account custodian. If the Account does not contain sufficient funds to pay advisory fees, BGAN has limited authority to sell or redeem securities in sufficient amounts to pay advisory fees. You may reimburse the account for advisory fees paid to BGAN, except for ERISA and IRA accounts. C. Additional Fees and Costs. In addition to the advisory fees above, • Transactions in the Adviser Directed program you (the client) will pay transaction fees for securities transactions executed in your account in accordance with the custodian’s transaction fee schedule. • • Additionally, you will pay fees for custodial services, account maintenance fees, transaction fees, and other fees associated with maintaining the Account. Such fees are not charged by BGAN and are charged by the product, broker/dealer or account custodian. BGAN does not share in any portion of such fees. Additionally, you will pay your proportionate share of the fund’s management and administrative fees and sales charges as well as the mutual fund adviser’s fee of any mutual fund purchased. Such advisory fees are not shared with BGAN and are compensation to the fund- manager. • Custodians assess a custodial charge for alternative investments for their administration and reporting requirements. Such custodial charges will vary among custodians and can be as high as $350 per holding. D. Termination Provisions.

United Kingdom (UK) Pension Plan Investment Services There are multiple fees clients will pay when electing to transfer a U.K. pension to a Self-Invested Personal Pension (“SIPP”) or Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (“QROPS”) including: • FCA required suitability report costs (required for defined benefit transfers) • Initial planning and analysis fee • Ongoing asset management fees • Discretionary fund manager fees • Investment platform, custodian, and trustee fees, and transaction and dealing fees. Clients will pay an initial fee covering time and services for analysis and planning, advice, consultation, and review and establishment of a SIPP, QROPS, or other applicable plan. The initial fee is deducted directly from the value of the assets transferred, unless directly paid by the client. The fee is a contingent fee, meaning client will only pay the fee if the client elects to transfer their pension. This is a conflict of interest because there is an incentive to recommend a transfer in order to receive compensation. To mitigate this conflict of interest this disclosure is provided, and clients should discuss the transfer with another professional. The fee is a percentage fee based on the value of the pension assets to be transferred as further described below. 15 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC In addition to the initial fee, if the client has a defined benefit plan the client will pay a fee to a U.K. qualified Advisor to prepare the U.K. suitability report, which can be $4,000 or more, depending on the UK Advisor, the value of UK pension assets, and the time frame the report is needed. The fee is paid direct to the UK Advisor for the report and is not determined or set by BGAN or shared with BGAN or its advisory representatives. UK pension transfers with safeguarded benefits in excess of £30,000 are subject to review and analysis by a UK regulated adviser, unaffiliated with BGAN. The suitability report fee is charged to the client and is an added cost incurred by the client, whether or not the client decides to move forward with the pension transfer. The cost of the suitability report will be invoiced to the client or will be deducted directly from the pension asset once the transfer to the SIPP has been completed. In certain circumstances your BGAN Advisory Representative can agree to cover the cost of the report fee on your behalf and you will reimburse BGAN for the fee contingent on your pension transferring and out of the transferred assets. This is a conflict of interest for your Advisory Representative to encourage a pension transfer in order to be reimbursed for the direct cost incurred. To mitigate this conflict of interest this disclosure is provided. It is important to understand costs before beginning the process of obtaining the report. Typically, U.K. qualified Advisors will advise against a transfer and will outline in their report their opinions. Regardless of the outcome, you will be subject to the report fee. After pension assets are transferred, client will pay an ongoing annual fee for monitoring, advice, consultation, and management on the investments and allocation of assets. Fees are negotiable and will be determined based on several factors including size of the pension assets, services being provided to the client, complexity of the situation, and consultations. Initial Fee: • The initial fee is calculated based on the value of the pension assets transferred from a defined benefit or defined contribution scheme to a SIPP. The is calculated by the trustee or platform provider and is agreed on between you and your advisory representative and is disclosed in the advisory agreement and in the trustee or platform application. The fee is negotiated between you and your advisory representative. Fee Based on Total Transfer Value £0-£250,000 £250,001-£750,000 Over £750,001 Maximum Initial Advisory Fee 3.0% 2.5% 1.0% • The initial fee will be due either: 1) in full upon the decision to transfer assets and funds to a SIPP and QROPS; or 2) paid through the purchase of an insurance bond or bond wrapper whereby BGAN and your advisory representative will be paid compensation. The compensation is in replace of the initial fee but will cost you more over a period of time. By purchasing a bond or investment wrapper you will be paying an internal cost for the wrapper which is paid over a period of years as agreed by you, but not to exceed ten years in addition to other costs and expenses for the bond. Therefore, there is added costs directly incurred by you for purchasing the bond rather than paying the entire fee upon transfer of the pension assets. 16 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC Electing to purchase the bond and incurring additional costs will enable you to invest a larger portion of your transferred pension assets verses the initial fee depleting the initial transferred value. However, the added cost will directly impact the performance of investment return of your SIPP account over time. It is important for clients to understand a bond purchase will increase the costs over time. There is no guarantee that the purchase of a bond wrapper will result in better or worse performance over time. Further, early termination of the bond will result in the client incurring penalties including if death occurs during the non-surrender period. Clients purchasing a bond wrapper and attaining the age 55 or older when pension distributions may be eligible (as permitted under UK regulation) prior to the 5–10 year surrender period, will incur penalties if distributions are taken. Bond wrappers are not appropriate for clients with a potential need to take distributions from the account during the surrender period. A long-term investment time horizon of longer than 10 years is needed. • If the initial fee is paid out of transferred pension assets, client is advised the fee will directly reduce the amount of assets available for investment. • In the United States the Securities and Exchange Commission requires investment advisers to disclose that when fees exceed 3% the fees are considered excessive in comparison to fees charged by other investment advisers for similar services. UK pension transfers involve several layers of fees as further described below under Additional Fees and Costs. Therefore, considering total fees a client will pay including our advisory fees, UK report writer, trustee, platform provider, etc. the fees can exceed 5% or more. It is important for a client to refer to charging schedules for all providers including investment fund costs. Annual Fee: • SIPP and QROPS accounts will be charged an annual fee not to exceed 1.50% annually. The annual fee will begin upon completion of the transfer. • Depending on the SIPP or QROPs provider, fees will be deducted from the account either: 1) quarterly in arrears or 2) monthly in arrears. • Fees are calculated by the platform provider and based on the valuation date established by the provider. • Platform providers will typically not prorate fees for partial billing periods. Therefore, you will pay the full billing period (i.e., month or quarter) regardless of when assets were deposited to your account. Advisory fees will be collected directly from your account. As stated above, the platform provider or custodian will calculate advisory fees to BGAN. Written authorization is granted to BGAN to receive fees direct from the platform provider or custodian by execution of the client advisory agreement. You will be provided with an account statement reflecting the deduction of the advisory fee direct from the account custodian at a frequency as agreed by the platform provider. Additionally, you can request an account valuation at 17 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC any time. If the Account does not contain sufficient funds to pay advisory fees, BGAN has limited authority to sell or redeem securities in sufficient amounts to pay advisory fees. Additional Fees and Costs: In addition to the fees outlined above, depending on the investment platform and SIPP provider or trustee, client is subject to the following fees and costs: • Transaction fees and/or dealing costs • Discretionary Fund Manager or Discretionary Manager fees • Investment platform fees • Establishment or set-up fee and annual fees charged by the SIPP provider • Annual trustee or administrative charges • Income or benefit set-up and annual fees charged by the SIPP provider • If a portfolio bond is utilized there will be set-up fees, ongoing administration fees, and dealing fees per trade • Exit penalty fees associated with the bond that decline over a period often over a 10- year period • If mutual funds, exchange traded funds or other pooled investment vehicles are used, the client will pay a proportionate share of the fund’s management and administrative fees and sales charges as well as the mutual fund adviser’s fee of any fund purchased. Such advisory fees are not shared with BGAN and are compensation to the fund- manager. • Exit fees are charged if changing platforms or trustees Discretionary Manager or Third-Party Asset Manager: A discretionary manager (DM) or also referred to as third party asset manager can be engaged to manage some or a portion of the SIPP assets. The DM will charge a fee up to 1.00% on the portion of assets allocated to the DM. Therefore, annual asset management fees can be 2.50% (i.e., 1.50 maximum BGAN fee plus 1.00% to the DM). Additionally, such advisory fees are not shared with BGAN and are compensation to the fund- manager. Additional Fees and Costs. In addition to the advisory fees above, you will pay transaction or dealing fees for securities transactions executed in your account in accordance with the custodian’s transaction fee schedule. Additionally, you will pay fees for custodial services, account maintenance fees, transaction fees, and other fees associated with maintaining the Account. BGAN does not share in any portion of the aforementioned fees. The underlying investments in the SIPP will have internal costs that typically do not exceed 0.5%. This cost is borne by the investor and you will pay your proportionate share of the fund’s management and administrative fees and sales charges as well as the mutual fund adviser’s fee of any exchange traded fund, mutual fund, or Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) purchased. Such fees are not charged by BGAN and are charged by the product, broker/dealer, trustee, or account custodian. BGAN does not share in any portion of such fees. Such advisory fees are not shared with BGAN and are compensation to the underlying fund manager. Termination Provisions 18 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC You may terminate investment advisory services obtained from BGAN, without penalty, upon written notice within five (5) business days after entering into the advisory agreement with BGAN. You will be responsible for any fees and charges incurred from third parties as a result of transferring and/or maintaining the account such as transaction fees for any securities transactions executed and account maintenance or custodial fees. Thereafter, you may terminate investment advisory services upon delivery to BGAN and your Advisory Representative of your written notice to terminate. a. If termination occurs prior to the initiation of the transfer of pension assets, clients will be responsible for time and third-party expenses incurred, such as the FCA report prepared by the UK qualified Advisor. b. If review, advice, and/or analysis of Client’s United Kingdom pension have been initiated, Client will not be entitled to a prorated refund of the initial fee. The initial fee covers Adviser’s time, analysis, and review of the pension assets and Client’s financial situation. c. Client will be responsible for and agrees to pay a prorated portion of the annual fee based upon the number of days in the quarter up to Adviser’s receipt of Client’s written notice to terminate (the “termination date”). Item 6 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE BY SIDE MANAGEMENT This section is not applicable to BGAN. BGAN does not charge performance-based fees. Item 7 - TYPES OF CLIENTS BGAN’s services are geared toward individuals both high net worth (i.e., clients with a net worth of $2,200,000, exclusive of primary residence or has $1,100,000 under management with BGAN) and other than high net worth. Additionally, BGAN’s services are suitable for businesses, pension and profit-sharing plans, and trusts. Item 8 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS A. Each Advisory Representative conducts their own analysis to determine the securities and asset allocations they will use in a client’s portfolio. They will use a variety of resources to gather information including but not limited to newspapers, magazines, due diligence visits and interviews with vendors, product literature and prospectuses, asset allocation programs and software. Advisory Representatives conduct economic analysis to attempt to analyze and determine trends as well as fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis generally involves looking at economic and financial factors. Additionally, they will assess a company’s or security’s value based on factors such as sales, assets, markets, management, products and services, earnings, and financial structure. Some Advisory representatives employ technical market analysis and technical trend following. Technical analysis generally involves studying trends and movements in a security’s price, trading volume, and other market-related factors in an attempt to discern patterns. Depending on the needs of the client and the investment philosophy of the Advisory Representative, long term, short term and active trading strategies will be utilized. Factors that result in a change to a client’s portfolio include but are not limited to, economic factors, management changes with the security, tax law changes, objective change, and news or press releases, and financial changes with the client. 19 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC B. BGAN emphasizes that investment returns, particularly over shorter time periods, can be highly volatile and are dependent on a wide variety of factors. Thus, our investment management services are generally suitable only for long-term investment objectives or strategies, rather than for short-term trading purposes. Neither diversification nor asset allocation assure a profit or protect you against a loss, and there is no guarantee that your investment objectives will be achieved. You are advised investing in securities involves risk of loss, including the loss of principal. Therefore, your participation in any of the management programs offered by BGAN will require you to be prepared to bear the risk of loss and fluctuating performance. BGAN does not represent, warrantee or imply that the services or methods of analysis used by BGAN can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate you from losses due to major market corrections or crashes. Past performance is no indication of future performance. No guarantees can be offered that your goals or objectives will be achieved. Further, no promises or assumptions can be made that the advisory services offered by BGAN will provide a better return than other investment strategies. C. BGAN primarily uses mutual funds, exchange traded funds, UCITs (within a UK pension plan), individual equities and fixed income securities, and third-party service providers. The following are some of the primary risks associated with the securities and strategies utilized. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss these risks and others in more detail. Mutual Funds and UCITs: Mutual fund fees are described in the fund's prospectus, which the custodian mails directly to the client following any purchase of a mutual fund that is new to the client's account. In addition, a prospectus is available online at each mutual fund company's Web site. At the client's request at any time, BGAN will direct the client to the appropriate Web page to access the prospectus. The risks with mutual funds include: - Manager Risk: This is the risk that an actively managed mutual fund’s investment adviser will fail to execute the fund’s stated investment strategy. - Market Risk: This is the risk that the Stock Market will decline, decreasing the value of - the securities contained within the mutual funds we recommend to you. Industry Risk: This is the risk that a group of stocks in a single industry will decline in price due to adverse developments in that industry, decreasing the value of mutual funds that are significantly invested in that industry. - Inflation Risk: This is the risk that the rate of price increases in the economy deteriorates the returns associated with the mutual fund. Registered investment company securities such as mutual funds, and variable products offer the securities in various share classes. Different share classes are priced differently and have varying levels of internal costs and share classes other than institutional share classes will involve higher internal costs that over time will cost you more. Institutional share classes often have higher trading costs; however, the internal costs of the fund are lower. Over a period of time, share classes other than institutional shares will become more expensive if held in the account for a long period time. A client needs to consider the amount being invested and the length of anticipated holding to determine the share class most suitable to. Advisory Representatives will attempt to select the lowest share class funds available and appropriate to the situation. However, in selecting the lowest share class, trading costs are sometimes higher. 20 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC Selecting the lowest share class appropriate to the situation does not imply the lowest cost share class. Instead, your Advisory Representative will select what they deem the lowest cost for the situation. Further, the lowest cost share class is not available with all platforms and custodians. Advisory Representatives consider the anticipated holding period, cost structure, and administrative and transaction costs associated with selecting a share class. However, there is no way to predict the future and there will be occasions where a holding is liquidated sooner or held longer resulting in higher costs to the client. Additional information about share classes can be found in an Investor Alert issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission at https://www.investor.gov/additional-resources/news-alerts/alerts-bulletins/investor-bulletin- mutual-fund-classes and https://www.investor.gov/additional-resources/news-alerts/alerts- bulletins/investor-bulletin-mutual-fund-classes. Additionally, the SEC and FINRA provide investor information at www.sec.gov and www.finra.org Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): ETFs are professionally managed pooled vehicles that invest in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, other mutual funds, other securities or any combination thereof. ETFs trade on an auctionable market. Therefore, there is more price fluctuation with ETFs than with mutual funds since ETFs trade throughout the day, whereas mutual funds are priced once a day. Also, since most ETFs only mirror a market index, such as the S&P 500, they won't outperform the index. While ETFs generally provide diversification, risks can be significantly increased for funds concentrated in a particular sector of the market, or that primarily invest in small cap or speculative companies, use leverage (i.e., borrow money) to a significant degree, or concentrate in a particular type of security rather than balancing the fund with different types of securities. Individual Equities: The risks with stocks are prices fluctuate throughout the day. Stocks can drop in value and become worthless. The risks with stocks are market risk and company specific risk. The price of a stock can decline due to company-specific reasons as well as the health of the overall stock market. Even dividends, which many beginning investors believe are guaranteed payments by the company, can decline or be totally eliminated. Investing in micro, small or mid-sized companies involve risks not associated with investing in more established companies. Since equity securities of smaller companies do not always trade as often as equity securities of larger, more established companies, it is difficult or impossible for the securities to sell. Bonds: Investing in bonds involves the assumption of risk including: • Interest Rate Risk: which is the risk that the value of the bond investments we recommend to you will fall if interest rates rise. • Call Risk: which is the risk that your bond investment will be called or purchased back from you when conditions are favorable to the bond issuer and unfavorable to you. • Default Risk: which is the risk that the bond issuer is unable to pay you the contractual interest or principal on the bond in a timely manner or at all. • Inflation Risk: which is the risk that the rate of price increases in the economy deteriorates the returns associated with the bond. Alternative Products (real estate investment trusts, special purpose vehicles, private placements: Investing in alternative and private placement investments involves unique and serious risks an investor must be prepared to bear. It is crucial an investor reads the offering memorandum prior to investing for full disclosure of qualification requirements and risks including: • Operational, economic, market cycles and trends, investment, tax 21 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC • Risk of hedge funds, derivatives, and other investment vehicles • Trading risks such as short selling, performance-based fees, limited operating and investment experience, consulting fees, interest and lending fees • Use of leverage • Illiquidity or limited liquidity • Non-existence of or minimal secondary market • Valuation complexities and limitations of valuations • High degree of risk and potential loss of principal Third Party Managers: Please refer to the third-party service provider’s Form ADV and associated disclosure documents for details on their investment strategies, methods of analysis and associated risks. The risks with utilizing third party managed programs include: • Market and economic risk. • The risk the third-party manager is not managing to the objective or managing based on the stated strategy. • The risk the securities managed by the third-party manager will decline or fluctuate impacting the overall performance of the portfolio. • The risk that the performance of the portfolio will be diminished by the fees of the third-party manager and expenses associated with the securities. Risks The business of investing in securities is highly competitive and the identification of attractive investment opportunities is difficult and involves a high degree of uncertainly. Varied fluctuations in the price of investments are a normal characteristic of securities markets due to a variety of influences. Managed account programs should be considered a long-term investment and thus long-term performance and performance consistency are the major goals. Tax Risk Income tax costs result from the sale of individual securities within your account, unless the account is otherwise tax sheltered or tax deferred. Income tax costs directly reduce investment returns. Under the current income tax system, securities held less than one year that are sold at a gain (short term capital gains) are taxed at the client’s highest marginal tax rate, and securities held greater than one year that are sold at a gain (long term capital gains) are taxed at a reduced long-term capital gains rate. Furthermore, the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) impact of long and short-term capital gains incurred in the tax year in question should be considered. Client is responsible for all tax liabilities arising from the sale of securities within the account. International investing presents certain risks not associated with investing solely in the United States. These include, for instance, risks relating to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies, custody arrangements made for foreign holdings, political risks, differences in accounting procedures and the lesser degree of public information required to be provided by non- U.S. companies. Investing in emerging markets involves greater risk than investing in more established markets. Such risks include exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information about these companies, relatively low market liquidity, and the lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. 22 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC Investing in fixed income securities involves special risks not typically associated with equity securities. These risks include credit risk, which is the risk of loss due to the inability to meet contractual debt obligations, and interest rate risk, which is the risk that an investment’s value will change due to a change in the level of interest rates. Additionally, there is an inverse relationship between bond prices and interest rates specific to fixed income securities. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall and, conversely, as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Long-term purchases – Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the Financial Markets will go up in the long-term which is not always the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular investment will go down over time even if the overall Financial Markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term creates an opportunity cost - “locking-up” assets that is be better utilized in the short-term in other investments. Active Trading – frequent trading of securities; explain how frequent trading can affect investment performance, particularly through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes Fundamental Analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This represents a risk, as the price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market, regardless of the economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the security. The success of this strategy depends in large part on the ability to accurately assess the fundamental value of securities. An accurate assessment of fundamental value deepens on a complex analysis of a number of financial and legal factors. No assurance can be given that we can assess the nature and magnitude of all material factors having a bearing on the value of securities. Quantitative Analysis: The risk of the analysis using mathematical and statistical modeling is that they are not accurately predict future investment patterns. Day to day changes in the market prices of investments follow random patterns and are not predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy. Qualitative Analysis: The risk of analysis using more subjective criteria is that the information obtained to make the analysis is inaccurate and skews the analysis. In addition, measuring (or weighting) the criteria will likely be inconsistent from one analysis to another and could adversely affects the investment decisions. No investment strategy can avoid loss. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you need to be prepared to bear. Item 9 - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION Investment Advisers must disclose any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of BGAN or the integrity of our services. In the most recent ten-year period, there are no events that have occurred requiring disclosure. BGAN compliance may, if necessary, place Advisory Representatives or Advisory Firms on internal Heightened Supervision to better monitor their activities and conduct. 23 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC Item 10 - OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS A. For specific information regarding whether your Advisory Representative maintains multiple registrations with different entities please refer to your Advisory Representative’s Form ADV Part 2B Item 2 and 4 disclosures. B. Non-U.S. based advisors have qualifications and are associated with other licensed or regulated firms to offer securities and insurance products to clients outside the United States in non-US jurisdictions where regulatory permissions are granted. BGAN is not affiliated with the non- U.S. based licensed firms and does not participate in any compensation received for business conducted offshore and outside of BGAN. Furthermore, BGAN does not oversee or supervise activities of non-U.S. based advisory representatives conducting business outside the U.S. through the non-U.S. based licensed companies. B. Certain Advisory Representatives are affiliated with other Investment Advisers for purposes of offering other advisory program, platforms, or services not available through BGAN. Please refer to your Advisory Representative’s Form ADV Part 2B for disclosure regarding whether your Advisory Representative is associated with another investment adviser or has direct ownership in another investment adviser. Advisory Representatives offer advisory services that are similar or different from the advisory services offered through BGAN and services will cost more or less. Certain advisory representatives engage in activities as an accountant outside of BGAN. Tax preparation and accounting services are not offered or sponsored by BGAN. Tax preparation and accounting services are an outside business activity from BGAN and are conducted through the advisory representative’s independent business, unaffiliated with BGAN. Clients are under no obligation to participate in tax or accounting services offered by any advisory representative. Certain advisory representatives are licensed insurance agents. BGAN does not offer or sponsor insurance products or services. The insurance business engaged in by advisory representatives is an outside business activity and is unaffiliated with the services offered by BGAN. Clients are under no obligation to participate in insurance products or services offered by any advisory representative. Advisory Representatives, who are insurance, licensed, have a conflict of interest to recommend and offer insurance products and services to you because they will earn a commission. Insurance products pay high commissions to licensed insurance agents. Therefore, the advisory representatives who are licensed insurance agents have an incentive by the receipt of high commission to recommend insurance products such as fixed index annuities. Fixed index annuities and other insurance products are not securities products. To mitigate this conflict of interest this disclosure is provided to you. Further, you are encouraged to seek a second opinion on any insurance recommendations. Before purchasing any insurance product including a fixed index annuity, it is important to ensure you have adequate liquidity since insurance products are not immediately liquid and/or carry high and long-term surrender periods. 24 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC BGAN is not and does not have a related person who is a: futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.

Advisor receives some benefits from Schwab, IB and RBC through its participation in the Program. BGAN receives some benefits from Schwab, IB and RBC as further described below and under Item 14. Schwab, IB and RBC will act solely as a broker/dealer and custodian and not as an investment adviser to you. Neither will have discretion over your account(s) and will act solely on instructions it receives from BGAN or you. Schwab, IB and RBC have no responsibility for our services and undertakes no duty to you to monitor our management of your account or other services we provide to you. Schwab and IB will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities and execute other transactions when BGAN or you instruct them to. To establish an account with Schwab, IB and/or RBC you will be required to enter into an account agreement directly with one or both entities. We do not open an account for you. 26 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC Not all investment advisers require you to maintain accounts at a specific broker/dealer. You can maintain accounts at another broker/dealer. However, the services provided by BGAN could be limited to only advice and will not include implementation. If you select another brokerage firm for custodial and/or brokerage services, it is likely you will not be able to receive asset management services from BGAN. The ability to select another broker/dealer and custodian will depend on the ability for BGAN to obtain trade information and supervise the activities of its Advisory Representatives. How We Select Brokers/Custodians We seek to select a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute transactions on terms that are overall most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their services. We consider a wide range of factors, including, among others, these: • Ability to service you and us • Combination of transaction execution services along with asset custody services (generally without a separate fee for custody) • Capability to execute, clear and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account) • Capabilities to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests, bill payment, etc.) • Breadth of investment products made available (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), etc.) • Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions • Quality of services • Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates, other fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate them • Industry reputation, staying power as a company, financial strength and viability • Technology and educational resources • Confidentiality and security of your information Best execution does not simply mean the lowest transaction cost. Therefore, no single criteria will validate nor invalidate a custodian, but rather, all criteria taken together will be used in evaluating the currently utilized custodian. There is an incentive for BGAN and the Advisory Representatives to recommend a broker/dealer over another based on the products and services that will be received rather than your best interest. Therefore, it is possible clients pay commissions higher than those charged by other broker/dealers in return for the products and services received by BGAN and/or its Advisory Representatives. The products and services BGAN and its Advisory Representatives receive from the broker/dealer or account custodian will be used to benefit all clients including those clients who elect to maintain their accounts elsewhere. Aggregated Trading Procedure When appropriate, your Advisory Representative will aggregate (“bunch”) transactions in the same security on behalf of more than one client in an effort to strive for best execution and to possibly reduce the price per share and/or other costs to clients. However, aggregated or bunched orders will not reduce the transaction costs to participating clients. BGAN conducts aggregated transactions in a manner designed to ensure that no participating client is favored over another client. Participating 27 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC clients will obtain the average price per share for the security executed that day. To the extent the aggregated order is not filled in its entirety and when possible, securities purchased or sold in an aggregated transaction will be allocated on a random basis. Under certain circumstances, the amount of securities is increased or decreased to avoid holding odd-lot or a small number of shares for particular clients. This type of trading is not available on UK Pension assets. Item 13 - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS A. If you are participating in the Asset Management program, or ongoing retirement plan consulting you will be invited to participate in at least an annual review or as agreed by you and your Advisory Representative. You may request more frequent reviews and set thresholds for triggering events that would cause a review to take place. Your Advisory Representative will monitor for changes or shifts in the economy, changes to the management and structure of a mutual fund or company in which your assets are invested, and market shifts and corrections. If you are participating in Financial Planning and Consulting Services you will not receive regular reviews. BGAN recommends you have at least an annual review and update to any plans. However, the time and frequency of the reviews is solely your decision. Additionally, you will be charged review fees based on the fee schedule disclosed under the program. Other than the initial plan or analysis, there will be no other reports issued. Your Advisory Representative that you have selected will conduct your account review. Please refer to your Advisory Representative’s Form ADV Part 2B for important biographical information. B. You must notify your Advisory Representative promptly of any changes to your financial goals, objectives or financial situation as such changes may require him review the portfolio allocation and make recommendations for changes. C. You will be provided statements at least quarterly direct from US account custodians. Account custodians and platform providers offshore have different regulatory obligation that do not require them to provide quarterly statements. Valuations for UK pension transfer accounts are available upon request. Additionally, you will receive confirmations of all transactions occuring in US based accounts direct from the US account custodian. Item 14 - CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION A. Product and service vendors recommended by BGAN can provide monetary and non-monetary assistance with client events, provide educational tools and resources. BGAN does not select products solely based on monetary or non-monetary assistance. The selection of product is first and foremost. BGAN’s due diligence of a product does not take into consideration any assistance it receives. To mitigate this conflict of interest this disclosure is provided. Pension Advice for United Kingdom and other Nationals or Expatriates As further described above under Item 5, BGAN and the advisory representative will receive compensation directly from the insurance bond provider if client elects to purchase an insurance bond rather than pay the initial planning and analysis fee for the pension transfer 28 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC advice. Purchasing a bond wrapper will cost the client more over time and will directly affect the performance of the account over time. Further, the client will be subject to a surrender period of five to ten years. Solicitor or Introducer Arrangements BGAN has entered into a solicitor agreement with another investment adviser to act in the capacity of a solicitor to refer certain clients to the investment adviser for advisory services and programs not offered by BGAN. As a result of referring a client to the investment adviser, BGAN will receive a portion of the advisory fee paid by the referred client. This is a conflict of interest since BGAN has a direct interest in the client engaging the investment adviser. A portion of the advisory fee received by BGAN will be paid to the BGAN Advisory Representative. Clients will be provided with a Solicitor Disclosure explaining the arrangement and the receipt of compensation and the effect on the amount of fee paid by the client as a result of BGAN sharing in a portion of the advisory fee. To mitigate this conflict of interest, BGAN is informing you of this relationship. BGAN enters into solicitor/introducer agreements with non-U.S. based pension financial services firms, with which BGAN advisory representatives are affiliated to refer United Kingdom (“UK”) expatriates or other nationals generally residing in the United States with UK based pension plans for advice on transferring to a SIPP. A description of this service is provided in Item 4 and Item 5 above. A portion of the advisory fee paid by clients to BGAN for transferring and managing their SIPP or QROPs will be paid to the pension financial services firm. Clients will be provided with a Solicitor/Introducer Disclosure which further explains the arrangement and the payment of fees. Clients will not be charged a higher fee as a result of payment of the introducer fee. Additionally, BGAN enters into solicitor or introducer agreements with various non-U.S. financial service firms to offer its management services to their U.S. connected clients with U.S. assets including a previous employer 401k plan. BGAN shares a portion of the advisory representative’s fee with the solicitor or introducer for a period not exceeding three (3) years. BGAN’s fee is not increased as a result of BGAN sharing its fee with the solicitor or introducer. Solicitor or introducer arrangements vary and the incentive to the solicitor or introducer will vary. to agree and authorize the payment of the fee by execution of The client is advised of the fees being paid to the solicitor or introducer and is given the opportunity the Solicitor/Introducer’s Disclosure Statement. There is a conflict of interest for the client’s non- U.S. advisor to refer clients to BGAN to manage their U.S. based assets because of the non- U.S. advisor’s receipt of compensation from BGAN. Clients are under no obligation to authorize the payment of a solicitor or introducer fee. To mitigate these conflicts of interest, this disclosure and the Solicitor / Introducer’s Disclosure Statement is provided. As stated under Item 4 above, many Advisory Representatives are independent contractors. As such, the Advisory Representatives have a direct incentive in the advisory fees being charged since a portion of the advisory fee collected by BGAN will be paid to the Advisory Representative for compensation for advisory services. In other words, Advisory Representatives share in the fees charged to you by BGAN. Further, 29 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC clients are advised that the amount paid by BGAN to the Advisory Representative will be based on the production of the Advisory Representative. Therefore, the higher the assets under management by the Advisory Representative, the more compensation the Advisory Representative will receive. Consequently, since an advisory representative’s assets under management are a basis for determining the Advisory Representative’s payout, and since a portion of the advisory fees will be retained by BGAN, there is a conflict of interest for the Advisory Representative to charge the maximum fee as disclosed under Item 5 above and increase assets. Charles Schwab Important Information As disclosed under Item 12 above, Advisor participates in Schwab’s institutional customer program and Advisor recommends Schwab to Clients for custody and brokerage services. There is no direct link between Advisor’s participation in the program and the investment advice it gives to its Clients, although Advisor receives economic benefits through its participation in the program that are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These benefits include the following products and services (provided without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate Client statements and confirmations; research related products and tools; consulting services; access to a trading desk serving Advisor participants; access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts); the ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from Client accounts; access to an electronic communications network for Client order entry and account information; access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and to certain institutional money managers; and discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice management products or services provided to Advisor by third party vendors. Schwab offers from time to time to pay for business consulting and professional services received by Advisor’s related persons. Some of the products and services made available by Schwab through the program benefits Advisor but do not benefit its Client accounts. These products or services assist Advisor in managing and administering Client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. Other services made available by Schwab are intended to help Advisor manage and further develop its business enterprise. The benefits received by Advisor or its personnel through participation in the program do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to Schwab. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by Advisor or its related persons in and of itself creates a conflict of interest and indirectly influence the Advisor’s choice of Schwab for custody and brokerage services.

Further, clients should compare any written report received from BGAN with statements received direct from the broker/dealer or account custodian. Should there be any discrepancy the account custodian’s report will prevail.

Your account custodian maintains actual custody of your assets. You will receive account statements directly from your account custodian at least quarterly. They will be sent to the email or postal mailing address you provided. You should carefully review those statements promptly when you receive them.

You will grant such authority by execution of the client advisory agreement. You may terminate discretionary authorization at any time upon receipt of written notice by BGAN. Discretionary authority will be limited to BGAN and your Advisory Representative having the authority to determine the securities to be bought or sold for a client’s account, the amount of securities to be bought or sold for a client’s account, and the Third-Party Service Providers on your account.

BGAN will not require you to prepay more than $1,200 and six or more months in advance of receiving the advisory service. B. As stated above, BGAN has discretionary authority over client accounts; however, that authority does not extend to the withdrawal of any client assets, with the exception of deduction of BGAN’s advisory fees from your accounts. C. Neither BGAN nor any of its Advisory Representatives have been the subject of a bankruptcy petition. 32 of 38 December 31, 2024 Form ADV Part 2A Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC BEACON GLOBAL ADVISOR NETWORK, LLC’S PRIVACY NOTICE Updated as of December 31, 2024 Beacon Global Advisor Network, LLC (“BGAN”) values our customers and makes it a top priority to safeguard the confidential information of our customers.
