Barker Road, Suite 200, Brookfield, WI 53045 Tel: 262 784-7205 Fax: 262 784-7206 Item 4. Advisory Business: Brook Capital (“BC”) is a SEC registered investment adviser with its principal place of business located in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Brook Capital began conducting its business as Ramiah Investment Group in 2004. Ramu Ramiah is the firm’s principal shareholder. A. Managed Portfolios: At Brook Capital, we focus on a core group of internally managed portfolios for our Clients, depending on the Client’s risk tolerance and investment objectives. BC manages Client Accounts on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis and provides continuous management where applicable in accordance with a signed Investment Management Agreement (hereinafter “IMA”), and a Client profile where risk tolerance and investment objectives are determined. Where a Client has multiple accounts, there may be differing investment objectives. Investment recommendations within the managed portfolios are made without considering potential tax consequences to the Client. We depend on our Clients to notify us when, and if, the Client’s financial or personal circumstances change, so that we can determine if there needs to be a change in the investment strategy and allocation. For discretionary accounts, the initial allocations and ongoing trading (buy, sell, exchange and, or otherwise change in allocations) will be made in line with the strategy of each recommended portfolio without prior Client approval of each transaction. BC has trading authorization over the assets in the account. Trading authorization allows us to determine whether to sell or buy securities and what securities to buy or sell. The Investment Management Agreement guides all asset allocation and investment selection decisions. BC is NOT authorized to withdraw cash or securities from the Client’s accounts other than in connection with the payment of BC’s advisory fees. In non-discretionary accounts, prior Client authorization is obtained before a recommended trade is entered. Non- discretionary accounts may be either fee based or commission based (where the client pays the service charges, commissions, sales loads and mutual fund trailers) accounts. B. 401(k) Advisory Services: BC provides investment advice to clients who seek advice in choosing and allocating investments within their 401(k), 403(b), annuity or insurance policy account (“Account”). Recommendations are made in light of current market conditions and the investment options available in the Client’s Account. BC does not exercise any discretion over the Client’s 401(k) accounts, nor do we have custody of the Client’s assets. BC does send periodic updates via e-mails suggesting changes to the Client’s position held in the Account. The recommendations are made from the fund choices available in the Client’s plan. If the Client chooses to follow the recommendations received, the Client is responsible for the execution of the recommendations. C. Financial Planning: When requested, BC provides financial planning services that take into consideration the client’s tax situation, insurance, retirement, education and estate planning needs. Financial planning services may include consultations and/or written plans which analyze a client’s financial situation and recommend appropriate strategies and methods of implementation. D. Other: Brook Capital does not issue periodicals about securities on a subscription basis nor provide a timing service, nor furnish advice on matters not involving securities. BC does not offer tax or estate planning advice. As of December 1, 2025, BC has $285,307,890 of assets under management. Of these assets, $135,006,836 are managed on a discretionary basis and $148,301,054 are managed on a non-discretionary basis. Item 5. Fees and Compensation A. Managed Accounts: Fees are calculated on the total market value of the assets under management as determined by the fee schedule below. Account Value Maximum Advisory Fee* First $500,000 3.0% Next $500,000 2.5% Next $1,500,000 2.0% Over $2,500,000 1.5% The negotiable fees are billed in advance, and paid quarterly at the beginning of the quarter and calculated on the ending asset balance of the previous quarter. In any partial billing period, the management fee will be pro-rated based on the number of days that the account was open. Total assets subject to fees include both liquid marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents. A minimum annual fee of $1000 may apply to all accounts. The annual fee depends on the size and complexity of the client’s account. If the management agreement is terminated by the client, any prepaid fees will be refunded on a pro-rated basis. A third-party Custodian 4 675 N. Barker Road, Suite 200, Brookfield, WI 53045 Tel: 262 784-7205 Fax: 262 784-7206 calculates the value of the securities in the Account and deducts the fees from the account. The value of the securities is its closing price on the valuation date on the principal market where the securities are traded. *In these accounts, BC charges no further commissions or any transaction, or custody fees. Investment accounts may include Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), index funds, inverse index funds or mutual funds. ETF’s, index funds, inverse index funds and mutual funds may incur internal fees and expenses that are not paid to BC and are separate and apart from BC’s Advisory Fees. The Broker Dealer, Custodian and the SEC may charge additional fees including but not limited to prospectus delivery fees and SEC transaction fees, etc. B. 401(k) Advisory Services: The fee for this service is an annual, non-refundable fee of $350 paid in advance. This fee may be subject to change. C. Financial Planning: BC may provide financial planning, which is an evaluation of a client’s financial state using currently known variables to predict future cash flows and asset values. We gather information through an in-depth interview and a questionnaire completed by the client. BC charges a negotiable, hourly flat fee or an annual retainer for Financial Planning services. Fees are based on the complexity and size of the assets. If the client chooses to implement the Plan through BC, commissions or fees resulting from the purchase or sale of products in the Plan are in addition to the fee paid for formulating the Financial Plan. BC may have a conflict of interest in implementing the Plan as it may receive commissions on insurance or securities purchased or sold. Accordingly, the Client is not obligated to implement the Plan through BC. D. Other: All fees paid to BC for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses charged by mutual funds are described in each fund’s prospectus and, or statement of additional information. Mutual fund fees generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. The investment adviser representatives may also receive 12b-1 fees from mutual fund managers. If the investment advisers receive any portion of these commissions for an asset fee-based account, including trailing 12b-1 fees from securities transactions directed to them for an ERISA account of an investment advisory client of BC, such commissions and 12b-1 fees will be refunded to the advisory client. Non-Discretionary Commission based accounts will be subject to ticket charges, service charges, commissions, sales loads and mutual fund trailers, that will be paid to an unaffiliated Broker Dealer, but will not be subject to advisory fees. Also, clients may indirectly pay for advisory services provided by the mutual funds’ advisers and other fund expenses, for example, 12b-1 fees. In these commission-based accounts, the client may be responsible for paying various custodian fees, including but not limited to transfer taxes, transaction charges, exchange fees, margin fees and odd lot differential fees directly to the Broker Dealer or Custodian. In Non-Discretionary Fee based accounts, clients will be charged a fee that is a percentage of assets calculated at the end of the previous quarter. The total fees charged may be higher or lower than if a client paid separately for all account services in a commission-based account depending on a number of factors including frequency of trading. Note: Additional fees may be incurred if particular services like wire transfers, cash management accounts that have checking or credit card features, or courier deliveries are utilized. These fees are charged by and accrue to the Custodian and/or Broker Dealer. These fees are subject to change. The Client should verify that the fees charged in the Account are accurate. E. Brook Federal Advisors: Brook Federal Advisors (“BFA”) is an entity connected with Brook Capital, that provides services to Federal Employees to help them with their federal benefit planning through personal counseling. The client may implement this plan at BC or elsewhere. Any investment advice and execution of the plan is done through Brook Capital. This may present a conflict of interest. Item 6. Performance-Based Fees BC does not charge performance-based fees. Item 7. Types of Clients Brook Capital provides Investment Services to U.S. and international clientele who are individuals. We also provide investment advice to trusts, charitable organizations, pension and profit- sharing plans and corporations. The standard minimum account size is $100,000. (This is negotiated with the client on a case-by-case basis.) Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Investment decisions in the BC managed portfolios are based on two prevailing philosophies: A. Dynamic Portfolios: In the Dynamic Portfolios investment decisions are based on technical analysis, and assets and asset class trends, as well as relative 5 675 N. Barker Road, Suite 200, Brookfield, WI 53045 Tel: 262 784-7205 Fax: 262 784-7206 strength compared to the overall market(s). To adapt to market volatility, BC offers a group of dynamic portfolios at various risk levels that attempts to stay invested in good markets but go to cash or equivalents in significantly down trending markets. This is an active strategy and may not be suitable for all investors. B. Static Growth and Fixed Income Portfolios In the Static Growth and Fixed Income Portfolios, allocations are made to appropriate asset classes, mainly utilizing index ETF's and individual stocks for some portfolios for the long term. The positions are allocated and established to be held for longer periods of time, but are reallocated when BC determines it is necessary. In order to adapt to client risk tolerance, BC offers the above portfolios that may have exposure to domestic and international equities, domestic and international bonds, real estate investment trusts, commodities and currencies. The use of computer models does not provide, imply or constitute a guarantee of performance. Any market exposure always entails the possibility of substantial loss of equity and it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolios. BC makes no representation of the likelihood or probability that any proposed investing plan will in fact achieve a particular investment goal. Various types of risk are involved in investing in securities bonds, mutual funds and ETF’s. The kind of risks include, but are not limited to economic risk, market risk, inflation risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. While some types of risk can be mitigated by investment strategies, these risks cannot be eliminated completely. Item 9. Disciplinary Information None to disclose. Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Ramu Ramiah, and Jason Visner are also counselors with Brook Federal Advisors (BFA). In this capacity, they advise and educate federal employees on their federal benefits. Item 11. Code of Ethics and Conflicts of Interests A Conflicts of Interest: Brook Capital and its investment adviser representatives (IARs) may be engaged in professions other than providing financial planning and investment advice. These activities take up a small portion of their time. IARs may also serve as the advisor of record for 401k plans and receive commissions and trailing fees in that capacity. BC places all of its trades through a FINRA registered Broker Dealer. The broker dealer reimburses BC for E&O insurance and some price quote services. BC uses the price quote services for all clients. This may still represent a conflict of interest as the Client may be able to place trades at another broker dealer for lower fees. Clients should be aware that a conflict of interest exists between the interests of BC and the interests of the Client; and the Client is under no obligation to act upon BC’s recommendations; and if the Client elects to act upon any of the recommendations, the Client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through the broker-dealer that is recommended by BC. In an effort to eliminate one conflict of interest, BC has agreed to not get paid rebates on Money Market funds held in various Investments that is managed by BC. B. Code of Ethics: Brook Capital has adopted a Code of Ethics, pursuant to SEC rule 204A-1, to attempt to establish rules of conduct that promote honest and ethical conduct, minimize potential conflicts of interest, and foster a culture of ethical standards of conduct where BC and its employees act in the best interest of its clients. The underlying principle of the Code of Ethics is that BC owes a fiduciary duty to its clients. A copy of BC’s Code of Ethics is available upon request. C. Personal Trading: On occasion the principal and employees of BC may buy or sell securities for their own accounts that they recommend to clients as long as they do not disadvantage the client while trading their own account. There should be no conflict of interest as the securities are widely held and publicly traded, and the accounts are too small to affect the market. Such stock orders may be executed as price-averaged block trades, with allocations done pro-rata among the various accounts, including the personal accounts of employees of BC. BC employees are however, not permitted to recommend or purchase securities for a client in which they have a material financial interest. D. Other Business Activities: The principal and employees of BC may sell insurance products for sales commissions. Item 12. Brokerage Practices Brook Capital has advisory and non-advisory fee-based clients. If the advisory fee-based clients want Brook Capital to recommend a broker, and implement the advice, they will be directed to a single broker/dealer. Clients may be able to obtain lower fees and 6 675 N. Barker Road, Suite 200, Brookfield, WI 53045 Tel: 262 784-7205 Fax: 262 784-7206 commissions from other investment advisers and we may be unable to obtain best execution through this broker/dealer. Clients should consider whether the managed account fees would exceed the aggregate cost of obtaining such services separately, the amount of portfolio activity in the client’s account, the value of the custodial and other services provided and the potential price difference in order execution. The broker/dealer reimburses BC for 1) Stock and Options quote services and 2) Errors & Omissions Insurance. Item 13. Review of Accounts Investment Advisory Accounts are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Investment Adviser Representatives. The calendar is the triggering factor and there are no different levels of review. All Clients with fee-based Investment Advisory Accounts directly managed by BC will receive a written quarterly performance report sent by the Advisor using a third party performance reporting platform. Clients will also receive statements sent directly by the Custodian showing positions, values, unrealized and realized gains and losses. Clients will be able to access their reports online via the Custodian’s platform. BC does not provide performance summaries, statements or confirmations for 401(k), 403(b), Annuity Advisory services and other external plan management services. Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation Brook Capital has written solicitor agreements with individuals who are compensated for referring clients to BC. Client fees are not affected by the compensation made to the solicitor. Item 15. Custody BC does not have custody of Client funds. The funds (including stocks, cash and other holdings) are held at a third-party qualified custodian, Pershing LLC. The custodian deducts the advisory fee directly from Client accounts. Account statements are prepared and sent directly to the Client by the Custodian. Clients should read their account statements carefully and compare it to the portfolio reports prepared by Brook Capital. If there are any discrepancies, please contact us at 262 784 7205. Item 16. Investment Discretion In the discretionary accounts, BC has the authority to make decisions regarding purchases and sales of equities, fixed income products including bonds and certificates of deposit, and other securities traded on a national exchange without contacting the client prior to each trade to obtain the client’s permission. BC is also responsible for the larger strategic investment decisions such as determining the asset allocation targets and the investment style. Clients give us discretionary authority when they sign the appropriate Investment Management Agreement. Discretionary authority may be subject to reasonable investment restrictions imposed by the client. BC will endeavor to follow reasonable investment restrictions, but we will not be able to accommodate investment restrictions that are unduly burdensome or materially incompatible with our investment approach. In the non-discretionary accounts BC will obtain the client’s oral or written approval before a trade is placed. Item 17. Voting Client Securities Brook Capital does not accept authority to vote client securities. Item 18. Financial Information Prepayment of Fees: BC does not require prepayment of more than $1200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. Advisory fees for account management are paid quarterly in advance. Item 19. Education and Business Background A.
