(“Multnomah” “we” or “us”) is an independent Portland, Oregon based SEC registered investment advisory firm providing a variety of services to our Clients. This Brochure has been created to provide information relating to the investment advisory and financial planning services we provide to individuals. The firm has been in business since 2003 and registered as an investment adviser with the SEC since 2005. The principal owners are Erik Daley and Scott Cameron. Scott Cameron is the Chief Compliance Officer. Our approach uses broadly diversified portfolios and a systematic strategy to manage investments. We follow fiduciary standards, putting our Clients’ interests before our own and seeking to avoid conflicts of interest with our Clients. We offer investment advisory, portfolio management, and financial planning services to individuals. Our investment recommendations primarily include mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and separate account managers investing in exchange-listed equity securities. We may also recommend other types of investments such as certificates of deposit, municipal securities, corporate bonds, U.S. government securities and money market funds. If Clients hold other types of investments, we may advise on those investments also. See Item 8 for a description of our investment strategy. Individuals (including small retirement plans) Our advice and services are tailored to the unique objectives of each Client. We work with Clients to formulate an investment strategy after discussing risk tolerance, time horizon, and projected future liquidity needs, current holdings, tax considerations, personal market views and other factors. This strategy provides guidance to formulate suitable investment and financial recommendations. We meet with Clients as needed to review portfolio performance, discuss current issues, and re-assess goals and investments plans. Client input, involvement and decision-making are critical to the planning process and implementation of investment decisions. Financial planning Broad-based, modular, and consultative financial planning services are also available to individual Clients. Advice will typically involve providing a variety of services relating to the management of financial resources based upon an analysis of individual needs. Pertinent information about the Client’s personal and financial circumstances and objectives is collected. We often conduct follow up interviews for the purpose of reviewing and/or collecting financial data. Once information has been studied and analyzed, a financial plan designed to achieve the Client’s expressed financial goals and objectives may be produced and presented to the Client. Financial plans are based on the Client’s financial situation at the time the financial information is disclosed by the Client to us. Clients are advised that certain assumptions may be made with respect to interest and inflation rates and the use of past trends and performance of the market and economy. We generally have discretionary authority relating to the investment management services we offer to our individual Clients. We do not accept discretionary authority relating to financial planning recommendations. Clients who engage us Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 5 for financial planning services are solely responsible for decisions whether to implement our recommendations. See Item 16 below for information regarding discretionary and non-discretionary authority. Regardless of whether our authority is discretionary or non-discretionary, Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities and we consider such restrictions when developing an investment strategy. As of December 31, 2025, we have regulatory assets under management of approximately $2,666,622,258, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis. Our personal advisory services assets under management account for approximately $231,818,799; these assets are included in our regulatory assets under management. We do not participate in or sponsor any wrap-fee programs. ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION Discretionary Investment Management Our fees are highly dependent on a variety of factors, including: the size of the portfolio, the specific work required by our agreement, the location of the Client and whether travel is required, and the number of meetings the Client requires. As a result, we do not have a standard fee schedule that applies to all Clients. We generally require a minimum of $300,000 in investable assets to maintain an account. However, this minimum account balance may be reduced or waived at our discretion. Fees are either asset-based, a flat fee, or a combination of both. Our annual fees for ongoing investment management services are generally calculated using a blended percentage rate which is based upon the applicable percentage fee for the amount of assets in each of the breakpoints listed below: Assets under management Fees First $1 million 1.00% $1 million to $2 million 0.75% $2 million to $3 million 0.50% $3 million to $4 million 0.35% Over $4 million 0.25% Fees based upon a percentage of Assets Under Management (“AUM”) are charged quarterly in advance based upon the market value of the account at the end of the quarter and deducted directly from Client custodial accounts upon submission of an invoice to the custodian. The custodian will provide a quarterly statement to the Client detailing the amount of the fee and the value of the Client's assets on which the fees are based. Payment of fees may result in the liquidation of Client’s securities if there is insufficient cash in the account. Market value means the value of all assets in the account (not adjusted by any margin debit). To determine value, securities and other instruments traded on a market for which actual transaction prices are publicly reported shall be Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 6 valued at the last reported sale price on the principal market in which they are traded. Other readily marketable securities and other instruments shall be priced using a pricing service or through quotations from one or more dealers. In rare circumstances, less actively traded securities or other assets may not have readily available market quotations. When necessary, Multnomah will take steps to ensure that an appropriate valuation methodology is used to determine the value of the security. Clients pay brokerage transaction costs and other charges directly to the custodian. See Item 12. Client may be required to pay, in addition to Multnomah’s fee, a proportionate share of any Exchange Traded Fund’s (ETF) or mutual fund’s fees and charges. For example, mutual fund operating expenses are paid out of the fund and are an additional expense incurred by the Client. In cases where a separate account manager is utilized for a Client’s portfolio, the separate account manager will charge a fee separate and additive to Multnomah’s fee. Fees include our time to work with a Client's attorney, accountant, or any third party. However, we are not responsible for any fees that may be charged to the Client by those third parties. Clients generally pay advisory fees quarterly, in advance. Fees for a partial quarter at the commencement or termination of an agreement will be prorated based on the number of days the account was open during the quarter. We may modify the terms of the fee agreement by giving Clients 60 days written notice in advance. Hourly rate projects and fixed fee projects are invoiced by us monthly with payment due by Client upon receipt of the invoice. Upon termination of any account or project, any prepaid but unearned fees will be promptly refunded by us. Any fees that have been earned by us but not yet paid by the Client will be immediately due and payable. The Client or Multnomah may generally terminate a service agreement for any reason by providing the other party with written notice. Multnomah does not accept any compensation for the sale of securities or investment products. ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT Multnomah does not charge any performance-based fees for its services. Accordingly, this item is not applicable to our firm. ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS We provide investment advice to individual investors and retirement plans. Specifically, we provide services to the following types of clients: • Individual and high net worth individuals • Pension and profit sharing plans Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 7 • Charitable organizations • Corporations Generally, a minimum of $300,000 in investable assets is required to open an account with us. In our discretion, we may reduce or waive this minimum. ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS The types of investments we recommend, our investment strategies and advice may vary depending upon each Client’s specific financial situation. As such, we determine investments and allocations based upon predefined objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, financial horizon, financial information, liquidity needs, and other various suitability factors. Client restrictions and guidelines may affect the composition of the portfolio. Investment Strategy Multnomah builds broadly diversified portfolios in the global fixed-income and equity markets, combined with periodic rebalancing. Clients may engage us to assist them in developing an investment strategy which outlines the investment philosophy, management procedures, and long-term goals for the investor. Portfolio design is tailored to each Client’s risk tolerance and preferences. For example, tax-managed funds and environmentally sustainable funds are available. Our investing is guided by the following beliefs: • We believe in the long-term growth potential of equities and use these to form the core of an investment portfolio. • We believe solid research is fundamental and critical to sound investment decisions. • We believe in a long-term approach. Numerous studies and statistics have shown that a stable investment approach with a long-term perspective yields better long-term result than rapid trading, and we will employ this method to maximize benefit for our Clients. Type of Investments Our recommendations may differ from Client to Client since each Client has different needs and different tolerance for risk. We primarily recommend mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETF), to maximize diversification and minimize risk. However, we may also utilize individual equity and debt securities, and other suitable securities based on a Client’s needs and objectives. Each type of security has its own unique set of risks associated with it, and it would not be possible to disclose all of the specific risks of every type of investment in this brochure. We strive to keep Clients educated and informed of material risks associated with particular investments. If Clients have any questions regarding the risks associated with a particular investment, they are encouraged to contact us. Mutual funds are professionally managed collective investment companies that pool money from many investors and invest in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, other mutual or exchange traded funds, other securities Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 8 or any combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the fund's investments in accordance with the fund's investment objective. While mutual funds generally provide diversification, risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market, primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows money) to a significant degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing the fund with different types of securities. Other fund risks include foreign securities and currency risk, emerging markets risk, small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap risk, trading risk, and turnover risk that can increase fund expenses and may decrease fund performance. Brokerage and transactions costs incurred by the fund will reduce returns. ETFs are investment funds traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks or equities. An ETF holds assets such as stocks, commodities, or bonds and trades at approximately the same price as the net asset value of its underlying assets over the course of the trading day. Most ETFs track an index, such as the S&P 500. However, some ETFs are fully transparent actively managed funds. Market risk is, perhaps, the most significant risk associated with ETFs. This risk is defined by the day-to-day fluctuations associated with any exchange traded security, where fluctuations occur in part based on the perception of investors. Individual equity securities (also known simply as “equities” or “stock”) are assessed for risk in numerous ways. Price fluctuations and market risk are the most significant risk concerns. As such, the value of your investment can increase or decrease over time. Furthermore, you should understand that stock prices can be affected by many factors including, but not limited to, the overall health of the economy, the health of the market sector or industry of the issuing company, and national and political events. When investing in stock, it is important to focus on the average returns achieved over a given period of time, across a well-diversified portfolio. Individual debt securities (or “bonds”) "are typically viewed as safer investments than equity securities, but their risk can also vary widely based on: the financial health of the issuer; the risk that the issuer might default; when the bond is set to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character paying the same rate of return. Primarily we invest with a focus on long-term purchases, where securities are purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year. Sometimes we will employ a short-term purchase strategy where securities are purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a relatively short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short-term price fluctuations. short-term trading (in general, selling securities within 30 days of purchasing the same securities) is not a fundamental part of our overall investment strategy. Methods of Analysis We may use one or more of the following methods of analysis when formulating investment advice: Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 9 Top-down global macro-economic analysis involves a big-picture analysis of the prevailing economic, demographic and social trends followed by a more focused analysis at the country level, then the industry level and ultimately the specific security level. Mutual fund/exchange traded fund analysis involves qualitative analysis looking at factors such as the background and experience of the fund manager and/or the fund company (style, consistency, risk-adjusted performance, management expenses, average daily trading volume, etc.). Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial health of companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages. This type of analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in stocks that are undervalued or priced below perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value. Investment Risk of Loss As indicated in the descriptions above, investing in securities involves risk of loss that any investor should be prepared to bear. We do not represent or guarantee that our services or methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate Clients from losses due to market corrections or declines. We do not offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met. Past performance is in no way an indication of future performance. Risk factors include: • Interest rate risk involves the risk that a change in interest rate will have an impact on a bond’s value. Generally, rising interest rates have a negative impact on bond prices so in a period of rising interest rates a bond or bond fund may experience losses in value. • Credit risk is the risk that a bond issuer may not be able to make good on their obligations and could potentially be unable to pay back the owner of a bond. • Inflation risk is the risk that inflation may erode an investor’s purchasing power. For a bond investor that owns bonds with a fixed interest rate, higher than expected inflation reduces the real yield of their investment and may cause interest rates to increase, causing a decline in bond prices. • Market risk involves the risk that a securities price may fluctuate up or down based on new market information and the collective market’s perceived value of a security. Markets are inherently volatile and an investor must acknowledge that market risk is present and be willing to accept the volatile nature of their investments. • Business risk is the risk associated with a single company. Business risk is impacted by a company’s industry, management team, product portfolio, financial position, the broad economic outlook. • Currency risk involves the risk that investments made in international securities may fluctuate in value based on exchange rates between the local currency and the investor’s home currency. Currency risk may add volatility and may cause a security’s performance to differ from its underlying fundamentals. Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 10 Except as may otherwise be provided by applicable law, we are not liable to Clients for any loss that a Client may suffer by reason of any investment decision made or other action taken or omitted in good faith by us with that degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances that a prudent person acting in a fiduciary capacity would use; any loss arising from our adherence to a Client’s instructions, or the disregard of our recommendations to a Client; or any act or failure to act by a custodian or other third party in relation to a Client’s account. It is the responsibility of each Client to give us complete information and to notify us of any changes in financial circumstances or goals. ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION We are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary event that would be material to your evaluation of our firm, or the integrity of our management. No Principal or person associated with Multnomah has any information to disclose which is applicable to this Item. ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS Multnomah Group, Inc., and those associated with our firm, do not materially participate in any other financial industry activities or have any other financial industry affiliations that materially impact our work as a registered investment adviser to our Clients. ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS & PERSONAL TRADING Multnomah has a Code of Ethics which all employees are required to follow. The Code of Ethics outlines our standard of business conduct and fiduciary duty to Clients. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of Client information, a prohibition on insider trading, restrictions on the acceptance of gifts, the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available to any Client or prospective Client upon request. Our Clients or prospective Clients may request a copy of the firm’s Code of Ethics by contacting Scott Cameron at (888) 559-0159 or scott.cameron@multnomahgroup.com. Multnomah does not own or manage any companies or investments that we advise our Clients to buy. Multnomah or individuals associated with us may buy and sell some of the same securities for their own account that we buy and sell for Clients. When appropriate we will purchase or sell securities for Clients before purchasing the same for our account or allowing representatives to purchase or sell the same for their own account. In some cases, we or our representatives may buy or sell securities for their own account for reasons not related to the strategies adopted for our Clients. Our employees and other persons associated with us are required to follow the Code of Ethics when making trades for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for Clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions will not interfere with making decisions in the best Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 11 interest of advisory Clients, while at the same time allowing employees to invest their own accounts. We maintain a list of all reportable securities holdings for ourselves and for anyone associated with our practice with access to advisory recommendations, and an appropriate officer of Multnomah reviews these holdings on a regular basis. We will disclose to advisory Clients any material conflict of interest relating to us, our representatives, or any employees which could reasonably be expected to impair the rendering of unbiased and objective advice. As many advisory situations could present a conflict of interest, we have established certain restrictions in order to support our fiduciary responsibilities: • A director, officer, associated person, or employee of Multnomah shall not buy or sell securities for his or her personal portfolio where the decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason of his or her employment unless the information is also available to the investing public on reasonable inquiry. • No person of Multnomah shall prefer his or her own interest to that of the advisory Client. Any individual who violates the above may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES Our Clients’ assets are held by independent third-party custodians. Except to the extent that the Client directs otherwise, we may use our discretion recommending the custodian or broker-dealer. The Client is not obligated to effect transactions through any custodian or broker-dealer recommended by us. In recommending a custodian or broker- dealer we will comply with our fiduciary duty to seek best execution and with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will take into account such relevant factors as: • Price; • The custodian’s facilities, reliability and financial responsibility; • The ability of the custodian to effect transactions, particularly with regard to such aspects as timing, order size and execution of order; • Any other factors that we consider to be relevant. While we do not require our Clients to establish brokerage accounts with Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. (“Schwab”), we generally recommend Schwab to our Clients for purposes of establishing brokerage accounts so long as Schwab continues to meet the above criteria. We work primarily with Schwab for administrative convenience and, also because Schwab offers a good value to our Clients for the transaction costs and other costs incurred. Schwab is a registered broker-dealer and SIPC member. Schwab provides Multnomah with access to its institutional trading and operations services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services are generally available to independent investment advisers at no charge so long as a total of at least $10 million of the adviser’s Clients’ account assets are maintained at Schwab Institutional. Schwab’s support services are generally Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 12 available on an unsolicited basis (we don’t have to request them) and at no charge to us. Some services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts, while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s services include research, brokerage, custody, access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. Schwab Institutional also makes available to Multnomah other products and services that benefit Multnomah but may not directly benefit its Clients’ accounts. Some of these other products and services assist Multnomah in managing and administering Clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology that provide access to Client account data (such as trade confirmation and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple Client accounts), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of Multnomah’s fees from its Clients’ accounts and assist with back-office support, recordkeeping and Client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or a substantial number of Multnomah’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab Institutional. Schwab may also provide Multnomah with other services intended to help Multnomah manage and further develop their respective business enterprises. These services may include consulting, publications and presentations on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, and marketing. In addition, Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay for these types of services to Multnomah by independent third-parties. Schwab may discount or waive fees that it would otherwise charge for some of these services, or pay all or a part of the fees charged by a third-party for providing these services to Multnomah. The availability of the foregoing products and services is not contingent on Multnomah committing to Schwab any specific amount of business (assets in custody or trading). Receiving the above referenced products and services at no cost creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend certain custodians to Clients that offer soft dollar arrangements. In order to mitigate this conflict, Multnomah periodically evaluates its custodial relationships to ensure that transaction fees charged to Clients are reasonable in relation to the value of the services provided. Multnomah emphasizes to Clients their unrestricted right to select and choose any custodian, broker, or dealer they wish. In some instances, Multnomah will aggregate transactions (also known as block trading). Aggregating transactions allows the trading of aggregate blocks of securities from multiple client accounts. Generally, aggregating client transactions allows Multnomah to execute transactions in a more timely, efficient, and equitable manner and seeks to obtain better prices and lower execution costs for our clients. ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS Accounts are reviewed by Scott Cameron, Principal, or a Senior Financial Advisor with Multnomah Group. Scott Cameron is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder. Senior Financial Advisors with Multnomah Group are CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals. Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 13 The frequency of reviews is determined based on the Client's investment objectives. Accounts are generally reviewed at least quarterly. More frequent reviews may be triggered by a change in Client's investment objectives; tax considerations; large deposits or withdrawals; large sales or purchases; loss of confidence in corporate management; or, changes in the economic climate. We review Client accounts to ensure continuing compliance with the strategic asset allocation of the investment strategy and to determine if any rebalancing is needed. Clients' accounts are also reviewed at least annually to determine whether the strategic asset allocation is consistent with the Client's objectives and risk tolerance. Investment advisory Clients receive standard written account statements from the custodian of their accounts on basis no less than quarterly. We may also provide Clients with a written report summarizing the account activity and performance generally quarterly, but in any event, no less than annually. ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION Multnomah Group has no arrangements, written or oral, in which it compensates any third parties for referrals of Clients. ITEM 15 – CUSTODY With the exception of our ability to debit advisory fees, Multnomah does not otherwise have custody of assets in Client accounts. As such, we shall have no liability for any loss or other harm to any property in the account (except as defined by applicable law), including harm to any property in the account resulting from the insolvency of the custodian or any acts of the agents or employees of the custodian whether or not the full amount or such loss is covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) or any other insurance which may be carried by the custodian. The Client understands SIPC provides only limited protection for loss of property held by a custodian. Clients generally receive account statements from the custodian of their accounts on a monthly basis, but in any event, no less than quarterly. We may also provide Clients with periodic written reports summarizing account activity and performance. We urge all Clients to carefully review statements from the custodian and compare these to reports that we may provide. Our reports may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION Clients authorize Multnomah by signing an investment advisory agreement to make investment recommendations on a discretionary basis. Discretionary authority means we have authority to manage the assets in the account allowing us to execute investment recommendations in accordance with the stated investment strategy without the Client’s prior Form ADV Part 2A Personal Advisory Services … 14 approval of each specific transaction. This authority allows us to purchase and sell securities and instruments in the account(s), select and retain sub-advisers, and act on behalf of the Client in matters necessary or incidental to the management of investments in the account, including monitoring certain assets. Regardless of this discretionary authority, Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. In some circumstances, we will have non-discretionary authority which means Multnomah is responsible to provide investment recommendations and monitor investments, however Clients make the ultimate determination whether to accept or reject such recommendations. ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES We do not have the authority and will not accept a delegation of authority to vote proxies on behalf of Clients. Additionally, we do not provide advice on how the Client should vote. Clients will receive proxies and other solicitations directly from the custodian or transfer agent. If any proxy materials are received on behalf of a Client, they will be sent directly to the Client or designated representative who is responsible to vote the proxy. ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION We do require advisory fees to be paid in advance. However, we do not require the prepayment of fees in an amount more than $1,200, more than six months in advance from any Client. We generally do have discretionary authority over Client funds and securities, but we have no financial commitments that impair our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to Clients. Neither Multnomah, nor any Principal, has ever been the subject of a bankruptcy petition.
