Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis Not all methods of analysis are useful with all asset classes or investment vehicles. The overall investment strategy of Bison Investment Advisors, LLC involves the blending of multiple asset classes and multiple sub-sectors of each class. Multiple asset classes are blended in an effort to increase overall diversification and to lower the inherent risks of each of the assets. Bison Investment Advisors, LLC will evaluate the overall economy, industry conditions and company specific information like the financial condition and management of the company. Sources of information may include financial reports, memoranda, articles, newspapers and magazines, research materials prepared by others, annual reports, prospectuses, and public filings.

Strategies may include investments in cash, fixed income, equity and alternative (such as metals, real estate, hard assets, long/short and market neutral strategies) asset classes. Clients may change strategies at any time. Risk of Loss All investment programs carry the risk of loss and there is no guarantee that any investment strategy will meet its objective. Bison Investment Advisors, LLC’s investment approach strives 8 October 2026 Bison Investment Advisors, LLC to minimize risk. Clients may be subject to some or all of the following types of investment risks: Pandemic Risk: A form of risk that affects a wide geographic area and can cause significant economic, financial, social, and political disruption. Pandemics are large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease that can greatly increase morbidity and mortality and can cause individual behavioral changes, such as fear-induced aversion to workplaces, and other gatherings. This risk can affect many decisions that lead to disruption and damage to multiple channels, including short term fiscal shocks and longer-term negative shocks to economic growth. Business Risk. The possibility that a company will have lower than anticipated profits, or that it will experience a loss rather than a profit. Business risk is influenced by numerous factors, including sales volume, per-unit price, input costs, competition, overall economic climate, and government regulations. A company with a higher business risk should choose a capital structure that has a lower debt ratio to ensure that it can meet its financial obligations at all times. Interest rate risk. Interest rate risk affects the value of bonds more directly than stocks, and it is a major risk to all bondholders. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall and vice versa. The rationale is that as interest rates increase, the opportunity cost of holding a bond decreases since investors are able to realize greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate. For example, a 5% bond is worth more if interest rates decrease since the bondholder receives a fixed rate of return relative to the market, which is offering a lower rate of return as a result of the decrease in rates. Market or Systematic Risk. The risk inherent to the entire market or an entire market segment. Systematic risk, also known as “undiversifiable risk,” “volatility” or “market risk,” affects the overall market, not just a particular stock or industry. This type of risk is both unpredictable and impossible to completely avoid. It cannot be mitigated through diversification, only through hedging or by using the right asset allocation strategy. The risk that a major natural disaster will cause a decline in the market as a whole is an example of market risk. Other sources of market risk include recessions, political turmoil, changes in interest rates and terrorist attacks. Credit Risk. The risk of loss of principal or loss of a financial reward stemming from a borrower's failure to repay a loan or otherwise meet a contractual obligation. Credit risk arises whenever a borrower is expecting to use future cash flows to pay a current debt. Investors are compensated for assuming credit risk by way of interest payments from the borrower or issuer of a debt obligation. Inflationary Risk. The uncertainty over the future real value (after inflation) of an investment. Currency Risk. A form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another. Whenever investors or companies have assets or business operations across national borders, they face currency risk if their positions are not hedged. Reinvestment Risk. The risk that future coupons from a bond will not be reinvested at the prevailing interest rate when the bond was initially purchased. Reinvestment risk is more likely when interest rates are declining. Reinvestment risk affects the yield-to-maturity of a bond, which is calculated on the premise that all future coupon payments will be reinvested at the interest rate in effect when the bond was first purchased. Zero coupon bonds are the only fixed-income instruments to have no reinvestment risk, since they have no interim coupon payments. Financial Risk. The possibility that shareholders will lose money when they invest in a company that has debt, if the company's cash flow proves inadequate to meet its financial obligations. When 9 October 2026 Bison Investment Advisors, LLC a company uses debt financing, its creditors will be repaid before its shareholders if the company becomes insolvent. Financial risk also refers to the possibility of a corporation or government defaulting on its bonds, which would cause those bondholders to lose money. Liquidity Risk. The risk stemming from the lack of marketability of an investment that cannot be bought or sold quickly enough to prevent or minimize a loss. Liquidity risk is typically reflected in unusually wide bid-ask spreads or large price movements (especially to the downside). The rule of thumb is that the smaller the size of the security or its issuer, the larger the liquidity risk. Company Risk. The financial uncertainty faced by an investor who holds securities in a specific firm. Company risk can be mitigated through diversification; by purchasing securities in additional companies and uncorrelated assets, investors can limit a portfolio's exposure to the ups and downs of a single company's performance. Company risk is also called “specific risk,” “unsystematic risk” or “diversifiable risk.” All the above investment risk definitions can be found at investopedia.com. Bison Investment Advisors, LLC partnership investors and potential investors: Risk is substantial in the Bison Investment Advisors, LLC investment partnership. For a more detailed list of risks in the Bison Investment Advisors, LLC investment partnership, please refer to the partnership’s offering documents. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that all Clients should be prepared to bear.

Directed brokerage is a term that characterizes an arrangement where the client directs the investment adviser to direct commission business to a particular broker.
