Bauer and Earl V. “Buck” Newsome, Jr. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. does not have a parent company or intermediate subsidiaries.

Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. utilizes an array of investment vehicles including, but not limited to: equity securities, exchange-traded funds, and United States government securities. Depending on the particular investment portfolio and/or investment strategy, Cambridge employs a variety of security analysis methods including charting, quantitative, fundamental, and technical analysis.

Within these programs, Cambridge is one of several investment managers that are offered by the individual firms to those clients who are interested in all-inclusive fee arrangement. The investment strategy utilized by Cambridge, as well as that of all the other managers in the program, is presented to the client for their consideration. The individual brokerage firm shares in the marketing and servicing of the client. In exchange, the fee paid to Cambridge is a reduction to the stated fee schedule. The overall wrap fee is negotiable. The fee paid to Cambridge is between ½ and ¾ of 1% of the assets under management. Further information regarding these wrap-fee programs can be obtained from the sponsors listed above. Fees and Compensation. Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis according to the models that pertain to the style selected by the client. Fees for managed accounts are payable in advance, based upon assets under management, and are either billed quarterly at one-fourth of the applicable rate, or billed quarterly based on the number of days per quarter. In the event that a relationship is terminated, fees will be refunded to the client on a pro-rata basis for the period remaining between termination and the end of the billing period. • Equity Management. 1.00% of the first $1 million, 0.75% of the next $4 million, and 0.50% of the remainder. • Fixed-Income Management. 1.4% of the first $10 million and 1.30% of the remainder. • Balanced Management. Applicable fee schedule is determined by the policy blend, as selected by the client. The client authorizes Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. to bill the custodian the fees described above and the client authorizes or will authorize the custodian to pay Cambridge directly. The client agrees that the custodian will send, at least quarterly, a statement indicating all amounts disbursed from the client’s account, including the amount of fees paid directly to Cambridge. All fees will be invoiced and paid as directed in the agreed upon fee schedule. For clients individually billed by Cambridge, a copy of each quarterly invoice will be sent to the client by first class mail not less than ten (10) days prior to the proposed date of withdrawal, include the exact amount of the proposed withdrawal, and the specific manner or basis on which the fee has been calculated. The notice shall advise the client of the opportunity to object to the invoiced amount and the manner in which the objection shall be made. In addition, if applicable, the custodian of each account shall receive a statement of the exact amount of proposed withdrawals. The management fee will be deducted by the custodian on a quarterly basis and paid to Cambridge Financial Group, Inc., unless otherwise noted in the agreement between the client and Cambridge Financial Group, Inc.

The Core Equity Investment Strategy. • The Core Equity investment process utilizes quantitative disciplines developed by Greg Bauer. The CFG Core Equity portfolio consists of 30 stocks, 20 of which are selected on price momentum; the remaining 10 are selected based on relative value. Momentum positions are evaluated monthly and value positions are evaluated annually. Ten of the momentum stocks are selected from the S&P 500. This is referred to as the S&P 500 Momentum portion of the portfolio. The remaining 10 momentum stocks and the value stocks are selected from the Cambridge Financial Group Index (CFGI), which is a subset of the S&P 500. The value portion of the portfolio is also selected from the CFGI. The process Cambridge utilizes identifies emerging market leaders and provides a mechanism to select those stocks exhibiting superior relative performance versus the index. Concurrently, the value component of the portfolios provides a safety net for those periods of time in a market cycle when momentum is trending downward, providing dual complementary styles under one umbrella. Evaluation of the portfolio is done in the first week of each month. At that time all 20 of the momentum stocks are ranked based on price momentum. If a stock currently owned in the S&P Momentum portion of the portfolio falls below the halfway point of the universe, 250 or below, it is sold and replaced by the highest ranked stock not currently owned. The same monthly ranking criteria apply to the CFGI Momentum portion of the portfolio. The value portion of the portfolio is ranked annually during the January rebalancing period. The stocks in the CFGI showing dividend and earnings growth are ranked based on very standard measures of valuation such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book, price-to-sales, and price-to-cash flow. A composite of these rankings is taken and if a current holding falls out of the top 10, it is sold and replaced by the highest-ranking stock not currently held. During the monthly evaluation at the beginning of each calendar quarter, the size of each position is compared to the entire portfolio. Those that have experienced a significant increase in market value have part of the position sold to bring it back in balance with the rest of the positions. More shares are purchased for those positions that have experienced a significant decrease in market value, as long as they are still favorably ranked, to bring them in balance relative to the entire portfolio. The constituents of the S&P 500 Index comprise the stock selection universe. The Aggressive Equity Investment Strategy. • The Aggressive Equity Investment Strategy includes the ten S&P 500 Momentum stocks from the CFG Core Equity. The Balanced Equity Investment Strategy. • The Balanced Equity Investment Strategy includes the same 30 stocks as the Core Portfolio, along with fixed-income securities. The fixed income portion of the portfolio also incorporates our momentum and value based investment style. On a momentum basis, when interest rates are trending higher we purchase shorter-term instruments. When rates are declining, longer-term maturities are favored. On the value side, when interest rate spreads are narrow, shorter-term maturities are favored, and when the spreads are wide, we favor longer maturities. A technical composite comprised of 10 equally weighted indicators is utilized to assess favorable and unfavorable market environments. These indicators represent four complementary areas: Momentum, breadth, valuation and interest rate conditions. If 6 of 10 are positive, full investment is indicated. Conversely, if 6 of 10 are graded as negative, an unfavorable market environment is indicated. In this case, all S&P Momentum stocks are sold with proceeds held in cash-equivalent funds. The technical composite is evaluated on a monthly basis. • Sector Tilt ETF Portfolio Each month, the eleven sectors that make up the S&P 500 Index are ranked based on short and intermediate-term price momentum. Client’s assets are invested in the top five ranked sectors using their corresponding tracking ETF. If a sector is no longer favorably ranked, it is sold and replaced by the highest ranked sector not already held. Each position is equally weighted. Risk of Loss • All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment risks: Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to decline. Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to tangible and intangible events and 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. Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation. Currency Risk: Companies typically have substantial foreign investments which are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country causing exchange rate risk. Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed income securities. Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular company within an industry. For example, oil 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 an electric company, which generates its income from a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are not. Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value. Disciplinary Information. There are no legal or disciplinary actions or outstanding judgments against Cambridge Financial Group, Inc., or Gregory J. Bauer, or Earl V. “Buck” Newsome, Jr., the principals of Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. has no other financial industry activities or affiliations that require disclosure. Specifically, • Neither Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. nor Cambridge principals are registered or do they have an application pending as a futures commission merchant, a commodity pool operator, or a commodity-trading advisor. • Neither Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. nor Cambridge principals have any material relationships or arrangement with any related person listed below: investment holding company, a mutual • investment trust, private fund, closed-end investment An investment company, unit company or “hedge fund,” nor an offshore fund; Investment adviser or financial planner; • • Futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor; Banking or thrift institution; • Accountant or accounting firm; • Lawyer or law firm; • Real estate broker or dealer • Insurance company or agency; • Pension consultant; • Sponsor or syndicate of limited partnerships; and • • Securities exchange, securities association, or alternative trading system. Code of Ethics, participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. has adopted a Code of Ethics, a copy of which will be provided to any client or prospective client upon request. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. has a duty to exercise its authority and responsibility for the benefit of its clients, to place the interest of its clients first, and to refrain from having outside interests that conflict with the interests of its clients and to disclose any conflicts if they do exist. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. may maintain its own accounts and may buy and sell securities for its own account or the accounts of its principals. The advice given and the actions taken with respect to a client and to Cambridge’s own accounts may differ from advice given or the timing and nature of actions taken with respect to other client accounts. Brokerage Practices. If a client does not designate a broker-dealer to effect transactions for that account, Cambridge will select a broker-dealer according to the best possible execution and clearance services and commission rates. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. has a Best Execution Policy and reviews trades periodically to insure that the policy is followed. “Best Execution” means that Cambridge will execute security transactions in such a manner that the client’s total cost or proceeds in each transaction is the most favorable, under the circumstances, in implementing our overall investment responsibilities to our clients. In assessing whether this standard is met, Cambridge will consider the broker/dealer’s full range of services, including execution capability, commission rates, financial responsibility and responsiveness, among other things. In the event of a trading error in a client’s account, if the error results in a gain, and it can be posted to the client’s account, the gain will accrue to the client. If the error results in a gain and circumstances prohibit the client being credited with the gain, the error will be transacted through the brokerage firm’s error account, and the broker will realize the gain. If a trading error results in a loss, the loss will be borne by Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. If a client specifies restrictions in regard to specific equities, and those equities are holdings in one of the Cambridge portfolios, the portion of the account that would have been allocated to those equities may be held in cash. In circumstances where a client directs Cambridge to use a certain broker dealer, we will request that the direction be in writing from the client and we will make each of the following disclosures that may apply: 1. Our inability under those circumstances to negotiate commissions or obtain best execution; 2. Our inability to obtain volume discounts; 3. That there may be a disparity in commission charges; and 4. Any conflicts of interest arising from brokerage firm referrals. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. may select or recommend broker dealers for client transactions based in part on the research or other services made available by those broker dealers. We do not intend to pay brokerage commissions higher than those obtainable from other broker dealers in return for research and brokerage products or services. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. does not have any fixed soft dollar relationships with any broker dealers, vendors of research information, or vendors of equipment or other services. • Trade Rotation Monthly trading occurs over a one- to two-day period of time usually during the first full week of each month. It is our intention to rotate the trading order of brokerage firms in the reverse order as they traded the previous month. The firm that traded first the previous month will trade last the next month. The firm that traded last the previous month will trade first the next month. This rotation is repeated throughout the year. In order to complete the trading process as efficiently as possible, affect the total number of trades, and other factors, brokerage firms can be moved up or down in the trading order, i.e., firms are not traded in the order they are scheduled. This is sometimes due to market conditions, or due to a technological issue of the trading system at that brokerage firm. Separately Managed Accounts (SMA’s) and Unified Managed Accounts (UMA’s) of the same sponsoring firm are traded on the same day throughout the rotation. • Trade Aggregation Client transactions of the same brokerage firm are aggregated, where possible, and when advantageous to clients. In these instances clients participating in any aggregated transactions will receive an average share price and transaction costs will be shared equally and on a pro-rata basis. Any trades not aggregated would be due to instructions from the client or broker, or specific account circumstances. Review of Accounts. The officers of Cambridge are responsible for all client accounts, including reallocating assets within the account whenever the firm’s model, which is used in the management of the particular account, indicates that such a reallocation is called for. Reallocations will be based on the market value of the components of the account, where appropriate, and any capital additions will be invested in order to ensure that there is conformity with model guidelines and any client instruction(s). Assessments will be made on a monthly or quarterly basis in order to ensure that all accounts are invested in accordance with the allocation models. Each client is provided with a quarterly appraisal, which lists all securities in their account, along with the cost, market value and estimated annual income. Each client is provided quarterly performance results. Capital gain and loss schedules and income summaries are also provided on a quarterly basis. Additionally, Custodians issue periodic statements and reports of accounts activity directly to clients. Client Referrals and Other Compensation. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. may offer remuneration to individuals or organizations that make referrals of potential clients under the following circumstances: 1. Cambridge has a written agreement with the person making the referral; 2. A separate written disclosure document is furnished to the referral client disclosing the relationship between the person making the referral and Cambridge, the terms of the compensation arrangement between the person making the referral and Cambridge, and any additional charges the client will incur as a result of the referral. Custody. Each client appoints, or will appoint, a separate custodian (the custodian) to take possession of the cash, securities, and other assets in the client’s account. As a result, Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. will have no access to the assets in the account or to the income produced there from and will not be responsible for any acts or omissions of the custodian. The custodian sends to the client, at least quarterly, a statement indicating all amounts disbursed from the account (including the amount of any fees paid to Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. pursuant to the client’s authorization), all transactions occurring in the account during the period covered by the statement, and a summary of the account positions and portfolio value at the end of the period. The custodian will be directed to send copies of the account statements to Cambridge Financial Group, Inc., along with an indication that the statements have been sent to the client. In the event the client directs Cambridge to use a particular custodian or broker/dealer, the client will be responsible for all costs associated with this relationship. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. may not be authorized under those circumstances to negotiate commissions and may not be able to obtain volume discounts or best execution. In addition, under these circumstances a disparity in commission charges may exist between the commissions charged to clients who direct Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. to use a particular broker/dealer and other clients who do not direct Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. to use a particular broker/dealer. Investment Discretion. By signing the Advisory Agreement, the client grants Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. the authority to invest/reinvest the assets under Cambridge’s management on the client’s behalf without prior consultation from the client (discretionary basis), subject to the client’s stated investment objectives and any other client instructions. Cambridge will invest in the investment types listed in this brochure which include, but are not limited to: cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities, equities, and ETF’s. The client also authorizes Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. to take any other necessary action in connection with the opening and maintenance of the client’s account as well as for the completion and payment of transactions for the account. Cambridge will make investment decisions for the client’s account according to the client’s investment objectives and financial circumstances as described by the client. The client agrees to promptly inform Cambridge if the information provided in the client information and investor profile becomes materially inaccurate and to consult with Cambridge to provide updated information on an annual basis. Voting Client Securities. Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. acknowledges that among its duties as a fiduciary to its clients, is the obligation to protect the clients’ interests by voting the shares held in its clients’ account. In order to ensure that shares are voted in all appropriate circumstances, Cambridge will exercise voting discretion unless voting discretion is specifically reserved for the client or assigned to a third party in the advisory contract. In general, Cambridge has determined that it is in the best interests of its clients to vote its clients’ proxies to promote the alignment of the interests of corporate management with the interests of its shareholders, to improve the accountability of corporate management to its shareholders, and to approve proposals that Cambridge believes will result in financial rewards for its clients. Cambridge has elected to rely on the recommendations made by an independent firm, which specializes in research and recommendations regarding proxy voting, in order to ensure consistent and efficient voting of its clients’ proxies. Cambridge retains the right to override any voting recommendation when it believes that a vote contrary to the recommendation would be in the best interests of its clients. Information regarding guidelines for specific recommendations for proxy voting are available upon request. Financial Information. No disclosure of financial information (a balance sheet) is required because Cambridge Financial Group, Inc. does not have custody of client funds and does not require pre-prepayment of potential fees. Neither Cambridge Financial Group, Inc., nor Gregory J. Bauer, nor Earl V. “Buck” Newsome, Jr. have been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past 10 years.

These services can be part of a wrap fee program at a broker dealer. We manage portfolios using quantitative formulas to select stocks with strong price gains. Portfolios also contain stocks selected by formulas indicating their price is less than similar companies. Some portfolios include US Government Bonds. Monitoring –Account positions and activity is monitored on a daily basis for retail investor clients. Stocks held within the portfolios are evaluated on a monthly basis and can be replaced at that time. Investment Authority – Retail investor clients and wrap program clients sign our investment advisory agreement which gives us authority to buy or sell stocks, or government bonds, in the retail investor account. Limited Investment Offerings – Portfolios we manage only consist of stocks, specifically the stocks included in the S&P 500 Index, and US Government bonds. Account Minimums – The minimum account size for an investment account at our firm is $100,000. Additional Information – additional information can be found in our Form ADV Part 2. This can be found on our website at www.cfginc.net/ADV2.pdf Item 3 – Fees, Costs, Conflicts, and Standard of Conduct “What fees will I pay?” Clients pay fees on a quarterly basis. Fees are based on a percentage of the account market value. Wrap fee program client fees include most transaction costs and fees paid for brokerage services and custody and therefore might be higher than other asset-based advisory fees. Conflict of interest – The more assets in an account, the more fees will be paid and we may therefore have an incentive to encourage a retail investor to increase assets in their account. Additional Information – You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying. Our Form ADV Part 2 includes more information.

What do these qualifications mean?” “Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?” “How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?” “As a financial professional, do you have any disciplinary history? For what type of conduct?” “Who is my primary contact person? Is he or she a representative of an investment adviser or a broker-dealer?
