It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WSFS Financial Corporation (“WSFS”). WSFS is a publicly-held bank holding company. BMTA provides financial planning, consulting, and investment management services. The firm works with its clients to develop a wealth plan that is customized to the clients’ goals and investment objectives. Prior to engaging BMTA to provide investment advisory services, the client is required to enter into a written agreement with BMTA setting forth the terms and conditions under which BMTA renders its services (the “Agreement”). In addition, BMTA serves as sub-adviser, providing investment management services to certain accounts at WSFS Bank’s Wealth division and other unaffiliated trust companies and/or SEC registered investment advisers. BMTA manages these accounts in accordance with the investment policy statement provided to BMTA by WSFS Bank, other trust companies and/or registered investment advisers. As of the close of business on December 31, 2024, BMTA had regulatory assets under management of $3,011,732,671 of which $2,991,742,709 were managed on a discretionary basis and $19,989,962 were managed on a non-discretionary basis. In addition, BMTA had assets under advisement totaling $483,444,650. On January 25, 2019, we entered into a co-advisory relationship with our affiliate, WSFS Bank, under which WSFS Bank can recommend that a prospective advisory client enter into a tri-party investment Co-Advisory Relationship with WSFS Bank advisory agreement between WSFS Bank, us and the client. In this arrangement, WSFS Bank provides certain non-discretionary advisory and other services to the co-advised client, and BMTA provides ongoing discretionary advisory services to the client. More specifically, WSFS Bank conducts an assessment of a prospective client’s needs to determine whether professional money management services are appropriate for clients, and whether BMTA would be an appropriate adviser for prospective advisory clients. At the onset of the relationship, the potential co-advised client will receive and sign a disclosure statement. The disclosure statement describes the terms of compensation WSFS Bank will receive, acknowledges the receipt and review of BMTA’s Form ADV Part 2A, 2B, and Form CRS and acknowledges the receipt and review of BMTA’s and WSFS’s privacy policy. WSFS Bank is required to complete an assessment of each co-advised client. In addition, each co-advised client is required to enter into a tri- party Investment Advisory Agreement with WSFS Bank and BMTA. Under this agreement, BMTA is responsible for investing and reinvesting the client’s assets, on a discretionary basis. Co-advised clients are permitted to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their advisory accounts. In addition, co-advised clients are responsible for informing BMTA when changes occur in a client’s personal or financial circumstances that may have a bearing on the manner in which assets are invested. WSFS Bank is responsible for attempting to contact co-advised clients to discuss a client’s satisfaction with, and the suitability of, the services provided by us within 90 days from acceptance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and relevant disclosures and at least annually thereafter. 4 Clients can engage BMTA to manage all or a portion of their assets on a discretionary or non- discretionary basis. As part of these services, BMTA provides its clients with certain financial planning Investment Management Services or consulting services based on the clients’ needs. These financial planning and consulting services typically include services such as estate planning, retirement planning, investments, education, and cash flow needs of the client. As detailed in Item 8, the firm allocates clients’ investment management assets among Independent Managers (as defined below) and various investment strategies in accordance with the investment objectives of the client. However, BMTA can provide advice about any type of investment held in clients' portfolios. If appropriate, BMTA may recommend that clients who are “accredited investors” as defined under Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, invest in private placement securities, which may include debt, equity, and/or pooled investment vehicles when consistent with the clients’ investment objectives. BMTA utilizes various alternative platform providers, when appropriate, to assist in the selection of privately offered securities (please see Item 8 for more detail). BMTA tailors its advisory services to the individual needs of clients. As detailed in Item 8, BMTA consults with clients initially and on an ongoing basis to develop an investment policy statement which determines risk tolerance, time horizon and other factors that may impact the clients’ investment needs. BMTA ensures that clients’ investments are suitable for their investment needs, goals, objectives, and risk tolerance. Clients are advised to notify BMTA promptly if there are changes in their financial situation or investment objectives or if they wish to impose any reasonable restrictions upon BMTA’s management services. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions or mandates on the management of their account if, in BMTA’s sole discretion, the conditions will not materially impact the performance of a portfolio strategy or prove overly burdensome to its management efforts. As part of our Investment Management services, we utilize a third-party platform to facilitate the discretionary management of held away assets such as defined contribution plan participant accounts. Discretionary Participant Account Management BMTA will review the current account allocations. When deemed necessary, BMTA will rebalance the account considering client investment goals and risk tolerance, and any change in allocations will consider current economic and market trends. Client account(s) will be reviewed at least quarterly and allocation changes will be made as deemed necessary. As mentioned above, BMTA determines if it is appropriate for clients to authorize the active discretionary management of a portion of their assets by and/or among certain independent investment Use of Independent Managers managers (“Independent Managers”), based upon the stated investment objectives of the client. The terms and conditions under which the client engages the Independent Managers are set forth in a separate written agreement between BMTA and the client under which BMTA is authorized to designate Independent Manager(s). BMTA provides the service of selecting Independent Managers. BMTA also monitors and reviews the account performance and the client’s investment objectives. In addition to BMTA’s written disclosure brochure, the client also receives the written disclosure 5 brochure of the designated Independent Managers. Certain Independent Managers may impose more restrictive account requirements and varying billing practices than BMTA. In such instances, BMTA will likely alter its corresponding account requirements and/or billing practices to accommodate those of the Independent Managers. Through the financial planning process, we work with our clients to determine their short-term and long- term goals. We recognize that each client has unique circumstances, so our team provides tailored Financial Planning financial planning ideas and strategies. Our focus encompasses various aspects of the client’s financial well-being, including estate planning, income tax management, charitable giving, cash flow, wealth transfer, and family legacy objectives. If you choose to utilize our financial planning services, we will conduct a meeting to gather information about your financial circumstances and objectives. We may use financial planning software to analyze your current financial position and define your long-term goals and objectives, both financial and non- financial. From there, we will develop shorter-term, targeted objectives to support your overall financial strategy. To ensure a coordinated effort toward achieving your stated goals, our team may collaborate with your other advisors, such as CPAs, enrolled agents, estate planning attorneys, and insurance brokers. We believe in providing you with a holistic view of your financial situation, whether it's through specific goal- oriented reports, general investment and planning recommendations, guidance on outside assets, or periodic updates. Our financial planning services may include: 1. Reviewing and clarifying your financial goals. 2. Assessing your overall financial position, including cash flow, balance sheet, investment strategy, risk management, and estate planning. 3. Developing a unique plan for each goal you have, whether it's related to personal or business real estate, education, retirement, charitable giving, estate planning, business succession, or other personal goals. 4. Creating a goal-oriented investment plan in consultation with various advisors, considering tax implications, asset allocation, expenses, risk, and liquidity factors for each goal. This includes IRA and qualified plans, taxable accounts, and trust accounts that require special attention. 5. Designing a risk management plan that aligns with your risk tolerance and includes strategies for risk avoidance, mitigation, and transfer. This plan also considers liquidity and explores various insurance options and potential company benefits. 6. Crafting and implementing an estate plan, in conjunction with your estate and/or corporate attorneys as tax advisors, to provide for you and/or your heirs in the event of incapacity or death. Once we have reviewed and analyzed the information you provide, we will present you with a written plan designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals. The financial plan is based on the information available at the time of presentation and the data you provide to us. If your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs to change, please inform us promptly. The financial plan will be reviewed in accordance with the terms of the Financial Planning Agreement. 6 You are not obligated to act on any of our financial planning recommendations. If you choose to implement any of our recommendations, you are free to do so through any brokerage firm of your preference, and you are not obligated to use our other investment advisory services. BMTA provides qualified plan management and monitoring services for a fee, based on the size of the plan assets. The services include, but are not limited to, assisting with the Investment Policy Statement, Retirement Plan Fiduciary and Advisor Services providing a screened list of fund choices, providing asset allocation models, monitoring the fund selections on a quarterly basis, documenting fund monitoring processes and educating employees. Implementation of the specific investment allocation for participants remains with each participant. As a result of the recent regulations promulgated by the Department of Labor, which interpret the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), there are choices when it comes to the fiduciary responsibilities for managing your company’s retirement plan. It is crucial that plan sponsors and trustees have a good understanding of the different types of financial advisers who can service their retirement plan and provide protection for all plan participants. BMTA offers two different options for managing a company’s retirement plan: 1. 3(38) Fiduciary Investment Manager 2. 3(21) Fiduciary Investment Adviser There is a distinct difference between a 3(38) fiduciary investment manager and a 3(21) retirement plan fiduciary. BMTA can be hired in either capacity through our registered investment adviser (RIA) structure, so the arrangement chosen is dependent upon the type of relationship you desire. Under this arrangement, BMTA is appointed by the plan sponsor or trustee and accepts discretion over 3(38) Fiduciary Investment Management Services plan assets and assumes full responsibility for the fiduciary functions concerning decisions related to the plan investment selections. As a 3(38) investment manager, BMTA has the responsibility and authority to select the investment options for the plan and decide if and when to make changes to the plan investments. If selected as a 3(38) investment manager, our services are as follows: 1. Be responsible for the selection of plan investments; 2. Have discretionary authority to determine the core investment options and qualified default investment alternatives under the plan; and 3. Provide asset allocation portfolios to participants reflecting a range of risk and potential return characteristics. These portfolios are updated by BMTA on a discretionary basis and traded accordingly. A 3(21) retirement plan fiduciary adviser is appointed by the plan sponsor or trustee to act in a co-fiduciary 3(21) Fiduciary Investment Advisory Services capacity. Through the 3(21) arrangement the plan sponsor or trustee and 3(21) fiduciary adviser share responsibility and accountability for the investment decisions made at the plan level. When the plan sponsor is provided with investment recommendations from the 3(21) adviser, the plan sponsor can agree or disagree with the recommendation. Under this arrangement, the plan sponsor is legally responsible and liable for the decision of whether to implement that advice. If selected as a 3(21) fiduciary adviser, our services are as follows: 7 1. Assist in the development and/or review of an investment policy statement (IPS) 2. Assist in the evaluation, selection, and monitoring of plan investments, core options, and qualified default investment alternatives, if applicable; 3. Provide periodic reports to the sponsor regarding the performance of investments and related fees, compared with applicable benchmarks and peer groups; and 4. Provide investment options to the plan sponsor. 5. Should investment changes occur in accordance with an Investment Policy Statement procedure, notices are sent to plan participants notifying them of the upcoming change by the plan administrator and the participant can go into their account and make investment changes, at any time. The plan sponsor remains responsible for selecting investments and investment options under the plan, and the participant shall remain responsible for making investment decisions regarding his/her accounts from among the options permitted under the plan. We offer Plan Consulting services which may include, but is not limited to, Service Provider Liaison; Plan Consulting Services Education Services to Plan Committee; Participant Enrollment; Plan Education; Plan Search Support/Vendor Analysis; Benchmarking Services; and Assistance Identifying Plan Fees. The specific services to be provided will be documented and agreed upon in the Plan Consulting Agreement. A client or prospect leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan Disclosure Regarding Rollover Recommendations (and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) rollover to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). Our firm may recommend an investor roll over plan assets to an IRA for which our firm provides investment advisory services. As a result, our firm and its representatives may earn an asset-based fee. In contrast, a recommendation that a client or prospective client leave their plan assets with their previous employer or roll over the assets to a plan sponsored by a new employer will generally result in no compensation to our firm. Our firm therefore has an economic incentive to encourage a client to roll plan assets into an IRA that our firm will manage, which presents a conflict of interest. To mitigate the conflict of interest, there are various factors that our firm will consider before recommending a rollover, including but not limited to: (i) the investment options available in the plan versus the investment options available in an IRA, (ii) fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees and expenses in an IRA, (iii) the services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals versus those of our firm, (iv) protection of assets from creditors and legal judgments, (v) required minimum distributions and age considerations, and (vi) employer stock tax consequences, if any. All rollover recommendations are also reviewed by our firm’s Chief Compliance Officer in a best effort to determine that the recommendation to a client was reasonable or that the client has determined to make the rollover after being provided ample information about their options. No client is under any obligation to roll over plan assets to an IRA advised by our firm or to engage our firm to monitor and/or advise on the account while maintained with the client's employer. Our firm’s Chief Compliance Officer remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client has regarding this disclosure. 8 When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual Acknowledgment of Fiduciary Status 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. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must: • Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice); • Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice); • Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments; • Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; • Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and • Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. Item 5: Fees and Compensation BMTA offers its services on a fee basis, which is generally based upon assets under management. All fees charged by BMTA are subject to negotiation. BMTA provides investment management services for an annual fee based upon a tiered percentage of the market value of the assets being managed by BMTA. The initial fee will be based on the date of Investment Management Fees account establishment and prorated for the remaining days in the current calendar quarter and billed at the end of the first quarter following the opening of the account. BMTA’s annual fee is charged quarterly, in advance, based upon the market value of the assets being managed by BMTA on the last day of the previous quarter. You may make additional deposits and partial withdrawals to the account(s). Additional deposits to the account and partial withdrawals from the account impact BMTA’s management of the account(s), particularly partial withdrawals from the account. For all assets deposited into or withdrawn from the client’s account(s), the fee will be adjusted, on a pro rata basis, in the next billing period to reflect the fee difference. Fees are calculated using the portfolio management system which is as of trade date and includes accrued dividends, income, and non-settled trades. If you have multiple accounts with BMTA, the managed accounts will be aggregated for fee calculation. Any financial planning or consulting services provided are included as part of this fee. The firm’s annual fee is exclusive of, and in addition to brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which are incurred by the client including advisory fees charged by selected Independent Manager(s). BMTA does not, however, receive any portion of these commissions, transaction fees, advisory fees, and related costs. Generally, BMTA’s fee schedule is based on a percentage of assets under management based on a tiered schedule which ranges from 0.30% to 1.00% annualized. Separate, standalone proprietary portfolios have the following annual fees: 0.30% for Fixed Income SMA Only & 0.60% for Equity SMA Only. BMTA, in limited circumstances, offers investment management services for a fixed percentage of assets 9 under management. The fees are determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the nature and complexity of the asset management services provided, as well as the level of administration required by BMTA. In its sole discretion, BMTA will, for certain accounts or holdings, negotiate a fee that differs from the schedule mentioned above. For instance, employees and their family members pay a discounted fee. Additionally, certain legacy accounts have varying fee arrangements, including a different fee schedule with a maximum annual advisory fee of 2.49%. The specific terms of these arrangements are governed by the investment management agreements. BMTA, at its sole discretion, can negotiate to charge a lesser management fee based upon certain criteria (e.g. anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account retention, pro bono activities, etc.). BMTA will not require any prepayment exceeding $1,200 six months or more in advance. All fees are reviewed by Senior Management before the final approval of the executed IMA. BMTA can deduct its fees directly from your account provided you have given BMTA written authorization by signing the Investment Management Agreement and custodial application. Written authorization to have advisory fees deducted directly from your account is granted in the management agreement executed between you and BMTA. If your account does not contain sufficient funds to pay advisory fees, BMTA has the authority to sell or redeem securities in sufficient amounts to pay its advisory fees. As further discussed in response to Item 12 (below), BMTA predominantly utilizes the brokerage and clearing services of Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services (“Fidelity”), Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Fees Charged by Other Financial Institutions (“Schwab”),) for investment management accounts. BMTA will only implement its investment management recommendations after the client has arranged for and furnished BMTA with all information and authorization regarding accounts with appropriate financial institutions. Financial institutions include, but are not limited to, Fidelity, Schwab, or any other broker-dealer recommended by BMTA, broker-dealer directed by the client, trust companies, banks etc. (collectively referred to herein as the “Financial Institutions”). Clients typically incur certain charges imposed by the Financial Institutions and other third parties such as fees charged by Independent Managers, custodial fees, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund or exchange- traded fund (“ETF”) in the account, which are disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), short-term redemption fees, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Additionally, for assets outside of any wrap fee programs, clients will incur brokerage commissions and transaction fees. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to BMTA’s investment advisory fee. BMTA’s Agreement and the separate agreement with any Financial Institutions authorize BMTA or Independent Managers to debit the client’s account for the amount of BMTA’s fee and to directly remit that management fee to BMTA or the Independent Managers. Any Financial Institutions recommended by BMTA has agreed to send a statement to the client, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the amount of management fees paid directly to BMTA. Alternatively, in limited circumstances clients can elect to have BMTA send an invoice for payment. For the initial period of investment management services, the fees are calculated on a pro rata basis. The Fees for Management During Partial Quarters of Service 10 Agreement between BMTA and the client will continue in effect until terminated by either party pursuant to written notice and the other terms of the Agreement. BMTA’s fees are prorated through the date of termination and any remaining balance is refunded to the client, as appropriate. Clients may make additions to, and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to BMTA’s right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that BMTA reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a client’s account. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to BMTA, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, BMTA designs its portfolios as long-term investments, and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a client’s investment objectives. BMTA will consult with its clients about the options and ramifications of transferring securities. However, clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they are subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e. contingent deferred sales charge) and/or tax ramifications. If assets are deposited into or withdrawn from an account after the inception of a quarter, the fee payable with respect to such assets will be adjusted or prorated based on the number of days remaining in the quarter. In addition to fees that are charged to clients by Independent Managers, BMTA receives an annual advisory fee from clients which is based upon a percentage of the market value of the assets being Independent Manager Fees managed by the designated Independent Managers. Co-advised clients pay fees to us for the services rendered by both WSFS Bank and us under the tri- party Investment Advisory Agreement, based on the standard fee schedule described above. The client Co-Advisory Fees does not pay a fee directly to WSFS Bank for the services it provides under the tri-party agreement. Instead, on behalf of and as an accommodation to the co-advised client, we pay WSFS Bank for these services. For current co-advised clients, BMTA will pay WSFS Bank an amount equal to 15% of the fee collected by BMTA on co-advised assets under management in the account during the first four full calendar quarters immediately following the date on which the account was opened. WSFS Bank will then pay the fee it receives under the tri-party agreement to WSFS bank employees who made the referral. In the event that the fees payable to BMTA by a co-advised client are delayed, reduced, or unpaid, BMTA’s fees payable to WSFS Bank shall be similarly delayed, reduced or unpaid. If BMTA refunds any fees to co- advised clients, BMTA may deduct fees from subsequent quarterly periods in the amount of any prior fees paid to WSFS Bank that are attributable to such refunded fees, or BMTA may request that WSFS Bank refund previously paid fees. Any such refund shall be paid to BMTA by WSFS Bank within ten (10) days of any such request. BMTA also provides sub-advisory services to trust Companies and other SEC registered investment advisers. These fees are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. BMTA does not currently have a minimum Sub-Advisory Services fee for sub-advisory services to trust Companies and other SEC registered investment advisers. See Item 4, Advisory Business, for further details. 11 We charge a fixed fee for stand-alone financial planning services. Our fixed fees vary and are negotiable depending upon the complexity and scope of the plan, your financial situation, and your financial Financial Planning Fees objectives. We will determine the client’s fee for the designated financial advisory services based on a fixed fee arrangement described below. Under our fixed fee arrangement, any fee will be agreed in advance of services being performed. The fee will be determined based on factors including the complexity of the client’s financial situation, agreed upon deliverables, and whether the client intends to implement any recommendations through BMTA. Fixed fees for comprehensive financial plans start at $3,000. As part of the financial planning agreement, BMTA may also be engaged for ongoing financial planning services payable through an annual retainer fee. Annual retainer fees are at a fixed rate of up to $10,000, which will be based on the complexity of the services, the frequency of client interactions and other factors. Fees may be negotiable, at the sole discretion of BMTA, based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with BMTA. Fees for the ongoing retainer will be invoiced quarterly at the end of each quarter. BMTA offers plan consulting services with annual fees ranging from 0.03% to 0.10%. We offer a Fiduciary Advisory Services role with an annual fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.65%. BMTA offers Retirement Plan Fiduciary and Advisor Services portfolios, and if the portfolios are chosen, the company receives a maximum fee of 0.35% which is included in the expense ratio. Fees are negotiable and are due in advance or arrears of each calendar quarter. The fee will be calculated on a calendar quarterly basis and based upon the value of the qualified plan as of the last business day of the calendar quarter as valued by the account custodian. ERISA 3(38) fiduciary services will be subject to a minimum annual fee of $2,000 for accounts with less than $2,000,000 in assets under management. Any clients that opened these accounts prior to January 1, 2019, fees are grandfathered. Multiple Employer Plans (“MEPs”) are not included in this minimum fee. The advisory fee will generally be deducted directly from the account provided the qualified plan has authorized deduction of the advisory fee from the qualified plan account. Fee deductions will be authorized via execution of an agreement with BMTA. Qualified plan sponsors may terminate BMTA’s services at any time upon 30-days prior written notice. Upon termination, you are responsible for monitoring the securities in your account, and we will have no further obligation to act or advise with respect to those assets. In limited instances, BMTA may trade accounts on margin if granted authorization by the client. An account with a margin balance will incur margin interest which the custodian will charge in addition to Trading on Margin BMTA’s advisory fee. As BMTA’s advisory fee is based on total assets under management, BMTA’s fees would include any margin balance held in a client’s account. This creates a potential conflict of interest because the use of margin can effectively increase the total assets under management. Clients are under no obligation to authorize BMTA’s use of margin. As part of the investment process, BMTA will routinely maintain and actively manage a percentage of Cash Management 12 each client’s portfolio in cash or cash equivalents. The advisory fee may exceed the money market yield. Such cash is generally used to meet short-term client cash needs or may be maintained to pay for additional investments in securities as needed. Clients will pay management fees on cash assets even though they may earn little to no interest and cash and cash equivalent assets generally do not appreciate in value. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management The firm does not charge performance-based fees (those that are based on capital gains or capital appreciation of the client’s assets). Our firm is not involved with any side-by-side management relationships or fee structures. Item 7: Types of Clients BMTA provides advisory services to individuals, corporate pension, profit-sharing and other qualified plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, foundations, endowments, corporations, and other business entities. As a condition for starting and maintaining a relationship, BMTA generally imposes a minimum portfolio size of $500,000 to $1,000,000. BMTA, in its sole discretion, can accept clients with smaller portfolios Minimum Account Size based upon certain criteria including anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account retention, and pro bono activities. BMTA only accepts clients with less than the minimum portfolio size if, in the sole opinion of BMTA, the smaller portfolio size will not cause a substantial increase of investment risk beyond the client’s identified risk tolerance. BMTA can, at its discretion, aggregate the portfolios of family members to meet the minimum portfolio size. Certain Independent Managers may impose more restrictive account requirements; BMTA may alter account requirements to adhere to the requirements of the Independent Manager. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss With the integration of a thoughtful financial planning process, we meet clients’ return and risk objectives through the creation of diversified portfolios using the best products available. We use outside mutual Investment Strategies and Methods of Analysis funds, ETFs, internally managed separate accounts, and Independent Managers as described in Item 4 to meet each client’s unique objectives. A long-term diversified strategic asset allocation guides the portfolio's structure over multiple market cycles, with adjustments made based on our 12-to-18-month market views. The firm first conducts an initial assessment with the client and develops a customized Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”). The IPS guides the firm’s investment decisions with the goal of ensuring the client’s plans stay on track. Once the clients’ goals have been defined in the IPS, the firm’s next step is to assess how well the client’s current holdings align with them. In this stage, BMTA has two purposes: (1) to identify hidden risks in the portfolio that exceed the client’s comfort level without providing acceptable rates of return; and (2) for each security that presents a concern, BMTA will take into consideration the 13 tax efficiency of the portfolio and other factors it believes are important. To implement a client’s plan, BMTA can allocate assets to Independent Managers and mutual funds, as well as utilizing proprietary strategies that may include individual stocks and bonds in accordance with the client’s investment objectives. The firm also provides advice on any other investments held in a client’s portfolio, as necessary to implement the plan. When using Independent Managers, or purchasing individual stock or bonds, the firm seeks to measure its absolute and risk adjusted performance to appropriate benchmarks, with a well-researched understanding of the respective managers’ investment process and risk profile. The risk profile is based on historical figures including but not limited to volatility, tracking error and maximum drawdown. BMTA believes a combination of passive and active managers provide an ideal balance between cost efficiency and alpha generation. Each Independent Manager also has the potential to offer distinctive sources of excess returns, such as long-only strategies, alternative investment strategies, international exposure, and other securities it believes are appropriate. BMTA, in coordination with the firm’s investment team, creates internally generated capital market assumptions to project expected risk, return, and correlation data for their portfolios. BMTA regularly monitors for formations of risk that may not be apparent at the individual manager level. Portfolio risk exposure and rebalancing are performed on an as needed basis. To enhance diversification in the client’s portfolio, BMTA looks for a mix of active Independent Managers and opportunistic strategies that have a low correlation with each other. While these correlations are based largely on historical relationships, BMTA closely monitors portfolio exposures and catalysts that may change traditional correlations. Finally, the firm seeks to find Independent Managers who invest their own personal wealth side by side with their investors, helping to boost their motivation and align their interest with the clients. BMTA’s primary methods of analysis are fundamental with a qualitative focus. The factors that BMTA considers in recommending an Independent Manager are stated in Item 4. BMTA offers third-party investment strategies that cater to clients with a focus on environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") investing. These strategies incorporate ESG considerations into the investment ESG Strategy & Risk Considerations process to prioritize ESG risks and impacts, with the objective of generating competitive returns relative to a stated benchmark. Investment strategies that aim to incorporate material ESG factors may potentially experience a loss of value or underperformance due to various reasons. ESG considerations typically prioritize the long-term outlook of issuers, which may not accurately predict short-term fluctuations in security prices or overall market dynamics. Integrating ESG factors into the investment process may result in the underweighting or exclusion of specific sectors, industries, or geographies, leading to underperformance during periods when those areas are favored by the overall market. 14 Regarding privately offered vehicles, BMTA utilizes various alternative platform providers, which provide a menu of private fund strategies (private equity, private credit, venture capital, real estate, and Private Fund Investment Strategies hedge funds). The alternative platform providers conduct the initial research and due diligence to determine which private funds will be offered on their respective platform. BMTA will then conduct its own investment due diligence on the private fund offerings prior to any recommendations to clients. Operational due diligence is conducted by platform providers. However, investors and prospective investors should refer to the offering documents of the private fund for a complete description of the risks, investment objectives and strategies, and other relevant information pertaining to investments in that specific private fund. For privately offered vehicles that are not offered on any of the alternative platform providers utilized by BMTA, BMTA will perform initial and ongoing investment due diligence on these privately offered vehicles. Operational due diligence is provided by 3rd-party service provider. The fees charged by the private funds are separate and apart from our advisory fees. The fee you pay to the private fund is established and payable in accordance with the private fund’s offering documents. Investments in private funds will be included in calculating our advisory fee, which is based on the fee schedule set forth in Item 5. BMTA is not affiliated with any of the alternative platform providers. BMTA does not pay or receive a fee from any of the alternative platform providers for utilizing their services. Risk of Loss BMTA does not offer any products or services that guarantee rates of return on investments for any time period to any client. Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment risks: Investing in securities involves the risk of loss which clients should be prepared to bear. General Risk of Loss Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For example, when interest rates Interest Rate Risk rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to decline. The price of a stock, bond or mutual fund may drop in reaction to tangible and intangible events and Market Risk conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic and social conditions may trigger market events. These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular company within an industry. For Business Risk example, major drilling companies depend on finding oil and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of profitability than a utility company, which generates its income from a steady stream of customers who buy power or services no matter what the economic 15 environment is like. When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as a dollar next year. Purchasing Inflation Risk power is reduced because of inflation. The risk that investors may have difficulty finding a buyer when they want to sell and may be forced to Liquidity Risk sell at a significant discount to market value. Liquidity risk is greater for thinly traded securities such as lower-rated bonds, bonds that were part of a small issue, bonds that have recently had their credit rating downgraded or bonds sold by an infrequent issuer. The possibility that a borrower will fail to meet their financial obligations, resulting in a loss for the lender Credit risk or investor. An investor may not receive the owed principal and interest, leading to interrupted cash flows and increased collection costs. International Markets typically present more risk than domestic markets. Investing in securities of non- International Risk United States governments and companies which are generally denominated in non-United States currencies and utilization of options on non-United States securities involves certain considerations comprising both risks and opportunities not typically associated with investing in securities of the United States government or United States companies. These considerations include changes in exchange rates and exchange control regulations, political and social instability, expropriation, imposition of foreign taxes, less liquid markets and less available information than is generally the case in the United States, higher transaction costs, less government supervision of exchanges, brokers and issuers, greater risks associated with counterparties and settlement, difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards and greater price volatility. An investment in a mutual fund or ETF involves risk, including the loss of principal. Mutual fund and Mutual Funds and ETFs ETF shareholders are subject to the risks stemming from the individual issuers of the fund’s underlying portfolio securities. Such shareholders are also liable for taxes on any fund-level capital gains, as mutual funds and ETFs are required by law to distribute capital gains in the event they sell securities for a profit that cannot be offset by a corresponding loss. Shares of mutual funds are generally distributed and redeemed on an ongoing basis by the fund itself or a broker acting on its behalf. The trading price at which a share is transacted is equal to a fund’s stated daily per share net asset value (“NAV”), plus any shareholders fees (e.g., sales loads, purchase fees, redemption fees). The per share NAV of a mutual fund is calculated at the end of each business day, although the actual NAV fluctuates with intraday changes to the market value of the fund’s holdings. The trading prices of a closed-end mutual fund’s shares may differ significantly from the NAV during periods of market volatility, which may, among other factors, lead to the mutual fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of ETFs are listed on securities exchanges and transacted at negotiated prices in the secondary 16 market. Generally, ETF shares trade at or near their most recent NAV, which is generally calculated at least once daily for indexed-based ETFs and more frequently for actively managed ETFs. However, certain inefficiencies may cause the shares to trade at a premium or discount to their pro rata NAV. There is also no guarantee that an active secondary market for such shares will develop or continue to exist. Generally, an ETF only redeems shares when aggregated as creation units (usually 50,000 shares or more). Investors may have conflicting investment, tax, and other interests with respect to their investments in Diverse Limited Partner Group Private Funds. The conflicting interests of individual investors may relate to or arise from, among other things, the nature of investments made by the advisers on behalf of the Private Fund in which such Investors are invested, the structuring or the acquisition of such investments and the timing of disposition of such investments. In selecting and structuring investments appropriate for a Private Fund, the advisers will consider the investment and tax objectives of the Private Fund as a whole, and not the investment, tax, or other objectives of any of its Investors. The interests acquired by Investors in each Private Fund ("Interests") have not been registered under the No market for interests; restrictions on transferability; no withdrawal rights Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and other applicable securities laws or an exemption from registration is available. It is not contemplated that registration of the Interests of such Private Funds will ever be effected under the 1933 Act or other securities laws. There is no public market for the interests, and none is expected to develop. An investor will also generally not be permitted to assign its Interests without the prior consent of the relevant adviser of the Private Fund, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Investors may not, except in extraordinary circumstances, withdraw from the Private Fund in which they are invested. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their interests prior to the expiration of the term applicable to such Private Fund and must be prepared to bear the risks of owning Interests for an extended period. BMTA typically recommends the use of Independent Managers for certain clients. BMTA will continue Use of Independent Managers to do ongoing due diligence of such managers, but such recommendations rely on the Independent Managers’ ability to successfully implement their investment strategy. In addition, BMTA does not have the ability to supervise the Independent Managers on a day-to-day basis other than as previously described in response to Items 4 and 8, above. If appropriate, BMTA may recommend the investment by certain clients in privately placed collective Use of Private Collective Investment Vehicles investment vehicles (some of which may be called “hedge funds”). The managers of these vehicles will have broad discretion in selecting the investments. There are few limitations on the types of securities or other financial instruments which may be traded and no requirement to diversify. The hedge funds may trade on margin or otherwise leverage positions, thereby potentially increasing the risk to the vehicle. In addition, these vehicles are not registered as Investment Companies. There are numerous other risks in investing in these securities. The client will receive a private placement memorandum and/or other documents explaining such risks. Some of the Private Funds recommended by BMTA are found through alternative platform providers. 17 There is no formal agreement between BMTA and the various alternative platform providers. Clients investing in funds on these platforms bear the risk that the platform providers will not be able to operate the platform. BMTA relies on the various alternative platform providers to perform due diligence on these funds and relies on their advice with regard to funds that fit the appropriate investment strategy. There is a possibility that a platform provider does not perform its services or may be negligent in performing its duties in relation to their platform. The investments of a Private Fund may lose all or a substantial portion of their value and are less liquid than traditional publicly traded investments. Investors in Private Funds must be prepared to bear the risk of loss of their investments therein. It is critical that potential investors refer to the relevant Private Fund’s PPM and offering documents, which include more comprehensive, detailed disclosure of the investment strategy and material risk of investing in a Private Fund, for a complete understanding. In addition, while certain risks may be more important for certain investment strategies, certain risks may overlap investments. With the increased use of technology, financial firms are susceptible to operational, information security Cybersecurity Risk and related risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber-attacks include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber incidents impacting BMTA can cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in the inability to transact business, financial losses, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, or reputational damage. While BMTA has established a business continuity plan and risk management systems intended to identify and mitigate cyber incidents, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, BMTA cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by third party service providers and issuers in which client portfolios invest. As a result, clients could be negatively impacted. Covered call writing is the sale of in-, at-, or out-of- the money call option against a long security position Covered Call Writing held in a client portfolio. This type of transaction is used to generate income. It also serves to create downside protection in the event the security position declines in value. Income is received from the proceeds of the option sale. Such income may be reduced to the extent it is necessary to buy back the option position prior to its expiration. This strategy involves a degree of trading velocity, transaction costs and significant losses if the underlying security has volatile price movement. Covered call strategies are generally suited for companies with little price volatility. Level 1 Collars: Level 1 collars refer to a strategy involving the purchase of a protective put option and the sale of a corresponding call option on an underlying asset. This creates a risk management framework designed to limit both the downside risk (through the put) and the upside potential (through the call). The collar strategy is typically used by investors to hedge or protect against large price movements in their portfolios, particularly when dealing with volatile assets or during uncertain market conditions. Level 1 collars are generally considered a strategy suited for sophisticated investors. While they provide downside protection and are relatively straightforward, they still involve a certain level of complexity and understanding of options that requires knowledge and experience. 18 The outbreak of an infectious disease in the United States or elsewhere, such as the novel coronavirus Impact of Disease Epidemics (e.g., “COVID-19”), together with any resulting travel restrictions or quarantines, could result in disruptions to the adviser and/or third-party service providers on which the adviser relies. Given that the nature, timing, and severity of an outbreak is unknown, the extent to which an epidemic might impact the adviser, its investments, or its advisory operations is uncertain. In addition to impacting the adviser and the adviser’s third-party providers, a pandemic may, and most likely will, have a negative impact on the economy and business activity in the United States and worldwide leading to potential significant disruption, volatility, and potential losses across financial markets. Clients of the adviser must be prepared for such potential losses and while the adviser has processes in place to ensure business continuity and to monitor the performance of its vendors and underlying investments, the uncertainty around the nature, type, breadth, and duration of an epidemic and the overall potential impact to the adviser’s operations and client investments is unclear. Clients should take careful note that: Securities are Not FDIC Insured. Securities are Not a Deposit. Securities May Lose Value. Securities are Not Bank Guaranteed. Securities are Not Insured by any Federal Government Agency. BMTA does not represent, warrant or imply that the services or methods of analysis used by BMTA 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 BMTA will provide a better return than other investment strategies. Item 9: Disciplinary Information Registered Investment Advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of BMTA or the integrity of the firm’s management. BMTA has not been involved in any of these disclosure items. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations WSFS Financial Corporation owns 100% of BMTA. WSFS Bank, Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware and BMTA are affiliated as they are wholly- owned subsidiaries of WSFS Financial Corporation. As discussed in Item 5, we have a co-advisory arrangement with WSFS Bank, under which WSFS Bank can recommend that a prospective advisory client enter into a tri-party investment advisory agreement between WSFS Bank, us, and the client. In this arrangement, WSFS Bank provides certain relationship and suitability services to co-advised clients, and we provide ongoing discretionary advisory services to such clients. Because of the affiliation between WSFS Bank and BMTA and given the fee arrangements for co-advised clients described above, WSFS Bank and its employees have an incentive to recommend a co-advisory relationship with us to prospective clients. In addition, based on the individual clients’ needs, BMTA will refer clients from time to time to WSFS Bank or Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware. While this may create a conflict of interest due to the ownership structure, BMTA does not receive referral-based compensation for such referrals. Supervised Persons of BMTA serve as board members of affiliated entities. Additionally, BMTA utilizes certain shared services of affiliated entities to reduce cost and maximize efficiency and consistency 19 throughout the organization. The Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Investment Officer and certain members of the research team of BMTA share resources between affiliated entities. Shared resources are subject to BMTA’s Code of Ethics and compliance program, including adhering to policies limiting the sharing of material, non-public information. BMTA will provide pro bono financial planning as part of the WSFS Mortgage Down Payment Grant Program. Designed to assist individuals and families with limited savings, the WSFS Mortgage Down Payment Grant Program can provide up to $10,000 in down payment assistance and/or closing costs for eligible borrowers so they can realize their dream of home ownership. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading BMTA has determined certain persons should be deemed “Access Person” under its Code of Ethics. Access Persons are permitted to buy or sell securities that it also recommends to clients, consistent with BMTA’s policies and procedures. BMTA has adopted a Code of Ethics that sets forth the standards of conduct expected of its Access Persons and requires compliance with applicable securities laws. In accordance with Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), BMTA’s Code of Ethics contains written policies reasonably designed to prevent the unlawful use of material non- public information by BMTA or any of its associated persons. BMTA monitors the personal trading activity of its Access Persons; Access Persons are required to report their personal securities holdings and transactions and obtain pre-approval of non-exempt securities, initial public offerings, and limited offerings. Clients and prospective clients may contact BMTA via the phone number listed on the cover page of this document to request a copy of its Code of Ethics. Item 12: Brokerage Practices BMTA generally uses the brokerage and clearing services of Fidelity, Schwab, or Pershing. Factors which BMTA considers in recommending Fidelity, Schwab, Pershing, or any other broker-dealer to clients include their financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research and service. Use of Fidelity, Schwab, and Pershing enables BMTA to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and other securities at nominal transaction charges. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Fidelity, Schwab, and Pershing may be higher or lower than those charged by other Financial Institutions. The commissions paid by BMTA’s clients comply with BMTA’s duty to obtain “best execution.” Clients may pay commissions that are higher than another qualified Financial Institution might charge to affect the same transaction where BMTA determines that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a Financial Institution’s services, including among others, the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. BMTA seeks competitive rates but does not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions. As a registered investment adviser, we have access to the institutional platform of your account broker- dealer/custodian. This access provides us with research products and services, which may include Economic Benefits 20 financial publications, information about particular companies and industries, research software, and other products or services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance to our firm in the performance of our investment decision-making responsibilities. The research products and services are provided to all investment advisers utilizing the institutional services platform. These services and products are not considered to be paid for in soft dollars. However, you should be aware that the commissions charged by a particular broker for a particular transaction or set of transactions may be greater than the amounts another broker who did not provide research services or products might charge. The research products and services may be useful in servicing all our clients, and not solely limited to the account for which the particular transaction was effected. The client can direct BMTA in writing to use a particular Financial Institution to execute some or all transactions for the client. In that case, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account Directed Brokerage with that Financial Institution, and BMTA will not seek better execution services or prices from other Financial Institutions or be able to “batch” client transactions for execution through other Financial Institutions with orders for other accounts managed by BMTA (as described below). As a result, it is possible that the client will pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. Subject to its duty of best execution, BMTA can decline a client’s request to direct brokerage if, in BMTA’s sole discretion, such directed brokerage arrangements would result in additional operational difficulties. Transactions for each client generally will be effected independently unless BMTA decides to purchase or sell the same securities for a number of client accounts simultaneously. When possible, orders for the Aggregated Trades same security will be combined or “batched” to facilitate best execution and to allocate equitably among our client’s differences in prices that might have been obtained had such orders been placed independently. BMTA effects batched transactions in a manner designed to ensure that no participating client is favored over any other client. Specifically, each client that participates in a batched transaction will participate at the average share price for all of BMTA’s transactions in that security on that business day, with respect to that batched order. Securities purchased or sold in a batched transaction are allocated pro rata, when possible, to the participating client accounts by a predetermined formula. BMTA may, however, increase or decrease the amount of securities allocated to each account if necessary, to avoid holding odd-lot or small numbers of shares for particular clients. Additionally, if BMTA is unable to fully execute a batched transaction and we determine that it would be impractical to allocate a small number of securities among the accounts participating in the transaction on a pro rata basis, BMTA may allocate such securities in a manner determined in good faith to be a reasonable and fair allocation. BMTA receives from Fidelity or Schwab, without cost to BMTA, computer software and related systems support, including: receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to Software and Support Provided by Financial Institutions a trading desk that exclusively services its participants; access to block trading which provides ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to client; and access to an electronic communication network for client order entry and account information. These services allow BMTA to monitor client accounts maintained at Fidelity, Schwab, or Pershing. BMTA receives the software and related support without cost because BMTA renders investment management services to 21 clients that maintain assets at Fidelity, Schwab, or Pershing. The software and support are not provided in connection with securities transactions of clients and is not paid for with client funds (i.e. not “soft dollars”). These products and services provide clients with an online Client Portal that enables them to view their investment objectives, risk tolerance parameters, investment strategies, and portfolios. The software and related systems support provided by the Financial Institutions benefits BMTA, but not its clients directly. The Financial Institutions may offer us other services intended to assist us in the management and further development of our business, including educational conferences and events, consulting on technology, compliance, legal and business needs, and access to providers of services we may need. In fulfilling its duties to its clients, BMTA endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that BMTA’s receipt of economic benefits from a broker- dealer creates a conflict of interest since these benefits have the potential to influence BMTA’s choice of broker-dealer over another broker-dealer that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. BMTA currently does not execute transactions between client accounts (“cross transactions”). Cross Transactions BMTA does not currently use client brokerage commissions (“Soft Dollars”) to obtain research or other products or services. Soft Dollars Benefits Item 13: Review of Accounts For those clients to whom BMTA provides investment management services, BMTA monitors those portfolios as part of an ongoing process. BMTA performs regular account reviews with clients via various methods including email, video calls, calls, or physical visits. For those clients to whom BMTA provides financial planning and/or consulting services, reviews are conducted on an “as needed” basis. Such reviews are conducted by one of BMTA’s financial adviser representatives. All investment advisory clients are encouraged to discuss their needs, goals, and objectives with BMTA and to keep BMTA informed of any changes thereto. BMTA contacts ongoing financial advisory clients at least annually to review its previous services and/or recommendations and to discuss the impact resulting from any changes in the client’s financial situation and/or investment objectives. Clients receive transaction confirmation notices and regular account statements directly from the broker- dealer or custodian. Clients should review each account statement for accuracy and promptly report any discrepancies to the respective broker-dealer or custodian. Upon request, BMTA will provide concurrent quarterly reports. Clients should compare the account statements they receive from their custodian with those provided by BMTA. Those clients to whom BMTA provides financial planning and/or consulting services will receive reports from BMTA summarizing its analysis and conclusions as requested by the client or otherwise agreed to in writing by BMTA. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation 22 BMTA is engaged in a Co-Adviser relationship whereby BMTA pays WSFS Bank an amount equal to 15% of the fee paid by client to BMTA during the first four full calendar quarters immediately following Affiliated Client Referrals the opening of the Account for referring clients to BMTA. Due to its affiliation with BMTA and given the fee arrangements, WSFS Bank has an incentive to recommend this co-advisory relationship to Client. These payments create a financial incentive for WSFS Bank to recommend BMTA over other firms where no compensation is received, resulting in material conflicts of interest. WSFS Bank is not a client of BMTA. This referral may not be representative of the experience of others and is not a guarantee of future performance or success. We participate in a referral program where we compensate individuals and entities (formerly known as "solicitors" and now referred to as "promoters") for client referrals. To receive a cash referral fee, Non-affiliated Client Referrals for Investment Advisory Services promoters must comply with the requirements of the jurisdiction in which they operate. If you become our client through a promoter's referral, they will receive either a one-time fixed referral fee at the time you enter into an advisory agreement with us or a percentage of the advisory fee you pay us for the duration of your client relationship, or until the agreement with the promoter expires. This referral arrangement does not result in any additional fees for you. This referral arrangement creates a conflict of interest, as promoters have a financial incentive to recommend our advisory services to you. However, you are not obligated to retain our advisory services, and you may find comparable services and/or lower fees available from other firms. Promoters who refer clients to multiple investment advisors may have a financial incentive to recommend advisors with more favorable compensation arrangements. We request that our promoters disclose to you if they have multiple referral relationships and if comparable services are available from other advisors with potentially lower fees or more favorable compensation terms for the promoter. BMTA refers clients to RIA Insurance Solutions, LLC (“RIA IS”). RIA IS assists wealth and financial advisors with meeting their clients’ insurance needs including, without limitation, life insurance, disability Non-affiliated Client Referrals for Insurance Services insurance, annuities and long-term care (“Insurance Services”). BMTA is independent of and is not affiliated with RIA IS. BMTA is under no control, management, or supervision of RIA IS. Under the agreement, BMTA IARs will refer BMTA clients to RIA IS’s Insurance Services. In the event that RIA IS’s employees write a commissionable insurance or annuity policy to the referred BMTA client, RIA IS pays BMTA a referral fee on a quarterly basis. The quarterly referral fee that RIA IS pays to BMTA is as follows: (1) 35% of first year agent (street level) commissions on term insurance and disability insurance; or (2) 50% of first year agent (street level) commissions on permanent life insurance, LTC, and commissionable annuities. These payments are made to the BMTA entity, not the BMTA IAR that made the client referral to RIA IS’s Insurance Services. RIA IS will be the sole agent of record for any insurance product sale. This referral agreement creates a conflict of interest, as BMTA has a financial incentive to refer RIA IS’s insurance services to clients. However, clients are not obligated to engage RIA IS for their insurance needs. 23 BMTA participates in the Fidelity Wealth Advisor Solutions® Program (the “WAS Program”), through which BMTA receives referrals from Strategic Advisers LLC (“Strategic Advisers”), a registered Participation in Fidelity Wealth Advisor Solutions® Program investment adviser and Fidelity Investments company. BMTA is independent and not affiliated with Strategic Advisers or any Fidelity Investments company. Strategic Advisers does not supervise or control BMTA, and Strategic Advisers has no responsibility or oversight for BMTA provision of investment management or other advisory services. Under the WAS Program, Strategic Advisers acts as a solicitor for BMTA, and BMTA pays referral fees to Strategic Advisers for each referral received based on BMTA assets under management attributable to each client referred by Strategic Advisers or members of each client’s household. The WAS Program is designed to help investors find an independent investment advisor, and any referral from Strategic Advisers to BMTA does not constitute a recommendation by Strategic Advisers of BMTA particular investment management services or strategies. More specifically, BMTA pays the following amounts to Strategic Advisers for referrals: the sum of (i) an annual percentage of 0.10% of any and all assets in client accounts where such assets are identified as “fixed income” assets by Strategic Advisers and (ii) an annual percentage of 0.25% of all other assets held in client accounts. In addition, BMTA has agreed to pay Strategic Advisers an annual program fee of $50,000 to participate in the WAS Program. These referral fees are paid by BMTA and not the client. To receive referrals from the WAS Program, BMTA must meet certain minimum participation criteria, but Advisor has been selected for participation in the WAS Program as a result of its other business relationships with Strategic Advisers and its affiliates, including Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC (“FBS”). As a result of its participation in the WAS Program, BMTA has a conflict of interest with respect to its decision to use certain affiliates of Strategic Advisers, including FBS, for execution, custody and clearing for certain client accounts, and BMTA could have an incentive to suggest the use of FBS and its affiliates to its advisory clients, whether or not those clients were referred to BMTA as part of the WAS Program. Under an agreement with Strategic Advisers, BMTA has agreed that Advisor will not charge clients more than the standard range of advisory fees disclosed in its Form ADV 2A Brochure to cover solicitation fees paid to Strategic Advisers as part of the WAS Program. Pursuant to these arrangements, BMTA has agreed not to solicit clients to transfer their brokerage accounts from affiliates of Strategic Advisers or establish brokerage accounts at other custodians for referred clients other than when BMTA fiduciary duties would so require, and Advisor has agreed to pay Strategic Advisers a one-time fee equal to 0.75% of the assets in a client account that is transferred from Strategic Advisers’ affiliates to another custodian; therefore, BMTA has an incentive to suggest that referred clients and their household members maintain custody of their accounts with affiliates of Strategic Advisers. However, participation in the WAS Program does not limit BMTA duty to select brokers on the basis of best execution. BMTA receives economic benefits from non-clients for providing advice or other advisory services to clients. This type of relationship poses a conflict of interest, and any such relationship is disclosed in Other Economic Benefit response to Item 12 above. Item 15: Custody 24 As a paying agent for our firm, your independent qualified custodian will directly deduct our advisory fees from your account(s). The ability to deduct our advisory fees from your accounts causes our firm to exercise limited custody over your funds or securities. However, we do not physically hold any of your funds or securities. Instead, your finds and securities will be held by a bank, broker-dealer, or another qualified custodian. At least quarterly, you will receive account statements from the qualified custodian(s) holding your funds and securities. The account statements will indicate the amount of our advisory fees deducted from your account(s) during the billing period. BMTA is required to have a reasonable basis, after due inquiry, for believing the qualified custodian is sending quarterly account statements. Clients may opt to receive such statements electronically. BMTA urges clients to carefully review such statements and report any discrepancies to the qualified custodian immediately. To manage your held away plan participant assets, we utilize a third-party platform. A link will be provided to the Client, allowing each Client to connect their participant account(s) to the platform. Once Participant Account Management (Discretionary) the account(s) are connected, BMTA will have access to review the account allocations and rebalance when necessary. BMTA has no authority to move money from the participant's account and does not require the participant's login credentials to effect trades. As such, we are not deemed to have custody over participant account(s). We are not affiliated with the third-party platform in any way and receive no compensation from them for using their platform. BMTA serves as investment adviser and sub-adviser to certain client accounts, where an affiliate (e.g., WSFS Bank) serves as either trustee or co-trustee. Additionally, supervised persons of BMTA may serve Trustee Services as co-trustee for certain advisory clients. These trustee and co-trustee arrangements impute custody to BMTA which requires BMTA to obtain a surprise examination by an independent public accountant, at least annually. BMTA is deemed to have custody over client funds where BMTA has been granted bill paying authority. As such, these client accounts are subject to the custody requirements of Rule 206(4)-2 that requires Bill Pay Authority BMTA to obtain a surprise examination by an independent public accountant, at least annually. BMTA or any associated individuals may transfer money from a client's account to one or more third- party accounts, as designated by the client, without obtaining consent for each individual transaction. Standing Letter of Authorization This is possible if the client has provided written authorization known as a Standing Letter of Authorization (“SLOA”). When an adviser has the authority to conduct such transfers, they are considered to have custody over the client's assets in the related accounts. However, BMTA is not required to undergo a surprise annual examination, which is typically necessary for custody, provided that the following conditions are met: 1. The client must provide written instructions, including the name, address, or account number of the third party, signed by them, to the qualified custodian. 2. The client must authorize BMTA in writing to direct transfers to the third party either on a specific schedule or from time to time. 25 3. The qualified custodian must confirm the client's authorization, such as by reviewing the signature, and notify the client promptly after each transfer. 4. The client can terminate or change the instruction. 5. BMTA has no authority or ability to change the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party. 6. BMTA maintains records demonstrating that the third party is not related to them and is not located at the same address as them. 7. The qualified custodian sends the client an initial notice confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction, both in writing. We confirm that BMTA meets all the above conditions in regards to SLOAs. Item 16: Investment Discretion BMTA accepts discretionary authority to manage security accounts for which it has received written authorization to do so. BMTA is considered to exercise investment discretion over a client’s account if it can affect transactions for the client without first having to seek the client’s consent. BMTA is given this authority through a power-of-attorney included in the agreement between BMTA and the client. Clients can request a limitation on this authority (such as certain securities not to be bought or sold). If permitted, BMTA takes discretion over one or more of the following activities: • The securities to be purchased or sold. • The amount of securities to be purchased or sold. • When transactions are made; • The Financial Institutions to be utilized; and/or • The Independent Managers to be hired or fired. Item 17: Voting Client Securities If specified in the Investment Management Agreements, BMTA will vote proxies associated with securities held in certain managed accounts. A client may choose to vote his/her own shares or delegate that authority, in writing, to BMTA. That determination is typically made when the client opens their custodial/brokerage account. BMTA will vote the same way for all proxies related to a specific corporation unless a client specially requests BMTA to vote otherwise. BMTA has contracted with a vendor to vote according to the Glass Lewis Investment Manager Thematic guidelines which are designed to maximize returns for investment managers by voting in a manner consistent with the manager’s active investment decision-making. BMTA is in no way obligated to vote using the Glass Lewis guidelines. BMTA uses its own judgment when deciding how to vote on any proposal. In the event BMTA does not vote in accordance with the recommendation of the vendor guidelines. BMTA will document such rationale. BMTA will maintain records on each proxy vote. Clients may contact our office directly should they want to know how their proxies were voted. Clients can request a copy of the complete Policy and Procedures by calling BMTA directly via the phone number listed on the cover page of this document. For co-advised clients, requests should be made through the co-advised client’s WSFS Bank representative. Because WSFS Financial Corporation is the parent company of BMTA, voting client proxies for WSFS 26 shares can be a conflict of interest. In the course of voting proxies for clients, should a client own shares of WSFS common stock, BMTA will forward the proxy to the client so that each item can be voted in accordance with client’s wishes. The client’s WSFS proxy and any communication with client will be documented and kept with proxy records. In cases where the client is unable to vote their WSFS shares, BMTA will complete the proxy to include withholding votes for all Directors and abstain on all other proposals. BMTA does not purchase shares of WSFS common stock unless the client directs advisor to do so (unsolicited). Item 18: Financial Information BMTA is a wholly owned subsidiary of WSFS Financial Corporation, a publicly traded company, the balance sheet of which is publicly available. BMTA does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance, and therefore a balance sheet of BMTA is not required to be disclosed. At the time of filing, BMTA has no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years. 27
